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.
00:00:49Bite your lip, push up the girls.
00:00:52It works every time.
00:00:54Wait, but what girls?
00:00:55And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily.
00:00:58So challenge them, be bold, and put them on the spot.
00:01:03I don't think I can do this.
00:01:05The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your mother's surgery.
00:01:10It's your call.
00:01:13The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new
00:01:24AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for
00:01:27Ellington'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
00:01:37new 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?
00:02:02Sexy?
00:02:04Frankly, yes.
00:02:06Sorry, what was her name?
00:02:11Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:12And you are?
00:02:13Blaine Ellington, CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:18And this is a successful company?
00:02:21It's not ringing any bells.
00:02:24Waiter?
00:02:25Yes, Mr. Ellington.
00:02:27You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:02:31Yes, of course.
00:02:32If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:02:34It's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:02:37You want two?
00:02:39Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.
00:02:42Better bring three.
00:02:44Yes, of course, right away, sir.
00:02:51And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:02:54I invest.
00:02:56In what?
00:02:58In everything.
00:03:01What am I not investing in?
00:03:04Businesses?
00:03:06Charities?
00:03:08I see.
00:03:09I see.
00:03:10And you live in the city?
00:03:12The city.
00:03:14The hills.
00:03:15My yacht.
00:03:18My private island.
00:03:21I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:23You're so impressive.
00:03:26So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:30Doesn't surprise me.
00:03:31I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:38You've got a little, uh...
00:03:51Kurt?
00:03:52Kurt?
00:03:53What's my manager doing here?
00:03:59My business dinner just ended.
00:04:01The presentation for the China branch.
00:04:02Looking good.
00:04:03Amazing.
00:04:04You're the best, Kurt.
00:04:05Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two.
00:04:07Just wanted to say hi.
00:04:09Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:11Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:12Ah, classic.
00:04:14All right, well, you two have fun.
00:04:22I've got to be honest with you.
00:04:26You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.
00:04:30Would you like to come to my place?
00:04:32I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:04:35Absolutely, darling.
00:04:43Whoa.
00:04:45Welcome to my home.
00:04:47After you.
00:05:03Oh, my.
00:05:15You like what you see?
00:05:18You're getting there, darling.
00:05:20Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:23Well, then, shall we get started?
00:05:28Uh, not so fast.
00:05:32Okay.
00:05:32A little foreplay?
00:05:34I did not think this through at all.
00:05:36How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:05:43Looking for something?
00:05:46Oh, um...
00:05:47Oh, um...
00:05:49Ah.
00:05:51I should have known that was your style.
00:05:54Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:57I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:05:59I'm not used to being the one tied up.
00:06:01It's usually the other way around.
00:06:08Valentina?
00:06:10Patience, darling.
00:06:11I'm building the suspense.
00:06:14Ah, I see.
00:06:16Where could it be?
00:06:18Right.
00:06:19And...
00:06:19You say guys actually like this?
00:06:21Oh, yes.
00:06:23It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:06:29How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:36That's...
00:06:37That's new.
00:06:40The painting!
00:06:41Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:06:43Oh, uh...
00:06:45Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:06:47It looks exactly like...
00:06:49The one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:06:53It's where I keep my safe.
00:06:56People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:06:59Thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:02Oh, no.
00:07:03It's quite popular.
00:07:04Where do you hide your...
00:07:06Luxurious safekeepings?
00:07:09In a super...
00:07:11Super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:13Oh, come on.
00:07:17Now, why don't you come over here and...
00:07:19Get this thing started.
00:07:20Oh, uh...
00:07:22Most unfortunate.
00:07:23I'm...
00:07:23I'm getting the utmost important business call.
00:07:26And I must take it.
00:07:28Right now?
00:07:29What?
00:07:30What about me?
00:07:32Valentina!
00:07:35Wait!
00:07:37Untie me!
00:07:43Ew.
00:07:44Really, Blaine?
00:07:46What?
00:07:47You and your models.
00:07:50Last night was not a model.
00:07:53I was actually impressed.
00:07:55Did I hear it right?
00:07:57Blaine actually had a date he liked.
00:08:00It was fantastic.
00:08:02The other girls, they're so boring.
00:08:04But this one...
00:08:06She's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:08:08I must see her again.
00:08:10Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:14It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.
00:08:21Grandfather.
00:08:22Hmm?
00:08:23Listen to him.
00:08:24He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:08:26I am much more qualified.
00:08:27Oh, yeah.
00:08:30I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:08:32No, no, no, no.
00:08:34Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:08:37Right?
00:08:39You weren't meant to be some CEO.
00:08:41No, but Blaine...
00:08:43Blaine will learn in time.
00:08:45Whatever.
00:08:47Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:08:49Blaine, I have actual work to attend to.
00:08:55Well...
00:08:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:57Thanks.
00:09:03Hello?
00:09:05How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:09To perfection.
00:09:11She already has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:14It won't be long until he slips up.
00:09:16And I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:21Brilliant.
00:09:22It's all coming together perfectly.
00:09:24And the VR tech you're developing.
00:09:26It'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?
00:09:29Oh, yes.
00:09:30It'll be ready.
00:09:31Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:09:46What's he doing here?
00:09:48Speaking of girls, I think I know who would be perfect as your new assistant.
00:09:53Sorry.
00:09:54I'm fine.
00:09:57Ariel.
00:09:58How does he know my name?
00:10:00You dropped your badge.
00:10:08There you go.
00:10:09Thanks.
00:10:17She's amazing.
00:10:21Are you playing hide-and-seek?
00:10:22Is that where you were late?
00:10:23Can I hide next?
00:10:24No, I was dropping your mom off at the hospital.
00:10:27Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:10:29Wait, oh my God, is she okay?
00:10:31Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:10:32She's just getting some tests done.
00:10:34Oh, thank goodness.
00:10:36Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:10:38Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:10:41Are you going to apply?
00:10:42I'm good where I am.
00:10:43But all the girls are applying.
00:10:44Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:10:46You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:10:48I think this position is yours.
00:10:59He's gorgeous.
00:11:01I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:11:06Attention, everyone.
00:11:07My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:11:11I will try my best to live up to my father, but I ask for patience as I adjust to
00:11:17the new role.
00:11:18And since he is adjusting to this new role, I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:11:25Not me, not me, not me.
00:11:27Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:11:34All right, everyone, back to work.
00:11:43You look exactly like...
00:11:47Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:52Kurt described.
00:11:55Clean, organized desk, confident composure.
00:12:00There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:12:02This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:12:06When do I start?
00:12:07Perfect.
00:12:09First thing I need help with is there's this file.
00:12:12Oh, um, gotta take a phone call.
00:12:14Send it to me in an email.
00:12:19Ariel, he wants to meet you again.
00:12:22Really?
00:12:23Also, I got you a second number.
00:12:25Just click the link to connect it, so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:12:30Great.
00:12:36Hmm.
00:12:37New number, huh?
00:12:41Hello?
00:12:43Hello, Ariel.
00:12:44This is Dr. Westphal.
00:12:45We just got your mother's results.
00:12:51It's not what we hoped.
00:12:53So we need to move quickly if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:12:58Okay, I understand.
00:13:00I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:13:10Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:12I just finished dinner.
00:13:14Mom, you should be in bed.
00:13:16Honey, I'm fine.
00:13:17Besides, you've been working all day.
00:13:19You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:13:20Mom, please.
00:13:21Honey, sit down.
00:13:33The doctor called?
00:13:35He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:36Hush, hush, hush.
00:13:38Hush.
00:13:38None of that talk, okay?
00:13:41Mom.
00:13:42Eat before your food gets cold.
00:13:52I'll be right back.
00:13:59It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:02Are you ready?
00:14:04Yeah.
00:14:08Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:09I'll make it to go.
00:14:27Well, where am I?
00:14:32Valentina!
00:14:33Blaine!
00:14:35Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:14:38Do you intend to have me killed?
00:14:40No, not at all.
00:14:41This place is special.
00:14:43Follow me.
00:14:56How many more?
00:14:58We're almost there.
00:14:59Come on.
00:14:59We're almost there.
00:15:15Wow.
00:15:16Look at you.
00:15:25Did you look at that view?
00:15:28I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:15:31Just you, actually.
00:15:33I discovered this place after my father died.
00:15:37Your family died?
00:15:39Yeah.
00:15:40I've been thrown into the CEO position,
00:15:43and I'm a bit in over my head.
00:15:46So, I never really get a chance to myself,
00:15:49except when I come here.
00:15:53I'm so sorry.
00:16:00My mom is sick.
00:16:05She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:11So I know it feels to...
00:16:14want to get away.
00:16:15Yeah.
00:16:18I'm used to getting everything,
00:16:20but this is one thing that money can't buy.
00:16:25I'm so sorry about your mom.
00:16:27Thanks.
00:16:31She's all I've got.
00:16:33I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:16:44Hey, who's out here?
00:16:49What's happening?
00:16:52Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:16:54What?
00:16:54Run.
00:17:02Hey!
00:17:05Still!
00:17:12What was that?
00:17:13That was fun.
00:17:14Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:17:17No, I suppose not.
00:17:21I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:17:26I feel like I can be myself around you.
00:17:30I feel the same way.
00:17:32Will you be my girlfriend, Valentina?
00:17:34That's right.
00:17:35I'm supposed to be Valentina.
00:17:37I can't do this to him.
00:17:42But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.
00:17:46I'd love to.
00:17:51Well, well, well.
00:17:54Martina, what are you doing here?
00:17:57I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:18:01Had to see it for myself.
00:18:03Well, that blind date went so well the other night,
00:18:06it got me thinking maybe grandfather was right.
00:18:09Is that so?
00:18:11Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:18:13That's right.
00:18:14Wow.
00:18:15What's she like?
00:18:16She's funny, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable.
00:18:23She's the whole package.
00:18:25Sounds like one that dad actually would have approved of.
00:18:28I'd love to meet her.
00:18:31Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington.
00:18:33Is this about time?
00:18:34No, not at all.
00:18:35My sister just came to visit.
00:18:37Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:18:40Martina, nice to meet you.
00:18:42Likewise.
00:18:43Glad to see my brother as someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:18:47Don't you worry.
00:18:48I got this.
00:18:49Well, after you lost the keys to the Maserati,
00:18:52I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new AI tech
00:18:54that we need.
00:18:54I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati.
00:18:57And don't you worry.
00:18:58I've got the codes right here on this drive.
00:19:01And I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:16Glad to hear you're doing that.
00:19:18I have wasted enough time.
00:19:21Now you know exactly where it is.
00:19:24Get it.
00:19:33All right, where's that drive?
00:19:41Are you kidding?
00:19:42There's nothing in here.
00:19:56They're coming in.
00:19:57Crap.
00:19:59How about we celebrate your China contract
00:20:01with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:20:03You don't twist my arm.
00:20:04You don't twist my arm.
00:20:07No, no, no.
00:20:14Oh, yeah.
00:20:19Sarah?
00:20:20Cheers.
00:20:21Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:26Right.
00:20:26Right.
00:20:27Right.
00:20:27After that.
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:37Whew, that was close.
00:20:44Hey, girlfriend.
00:20:45Can I ask your advice on something?
00:20:47Sure.
00:20:48What's going on?
00:20:49So I have this friend who is having boy problems.
00:20:53Aren't we all?
00:20:53So she has a crush on her boss
00:20:55and she doesn't know what to do about it
00:20:57because of the whole workplace relationship thing.
00:21:00How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:21:02Wait, I don't like Blaine.
00:21:03But he deserves to know though, right?
00:21:05You're going to tell him?
00:21:06I mean, I don't know
00:21:08because what if I tell Kurt I like him
00:21:10and he doesn't like me
00:21:10and then it's so totally awkward
00:21:12and so he fires me
00:21:13because it's so totally awkward.
00:21:15Wait, do you like Kurt?
00:21:17I gotta go.
00:21:19What?
00:21:19Ring, ring.
00:21:20Oh, I'm getting a good call.
00:21:23Ring, ring.
00:21:24Ring, ring.
00:21:27Ring, ring.
00:21:29Ariel.
00:21:31Yes, Mr. Ellington?
00:21:32I need your personal help.
00:21:34Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:21:46I've never gotten a girl a gift.
00:21:48Wow, really?
00:21:50Um, I mean, yeah.
00:21:53First girlfriend, first gift.
00:21:55Checks out.
00:21:56So, I need your help to figure out
00:21:58which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:12Oh my God, I'm going to be wearing that?
00:22:15Sorry?
00:22:16Your girlfriend's going to be wearing that?
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20It's pretty nice, right?
00:22:22Well, I mean, it's option one.
00:22:25Do you think she'll like it?
00:22:27Um, well, what's your girlfriend like?
00:22:30What are her tastes?
00:22:33Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous.
00:22:38The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.
00:22:44I see.
00:22:47So, keep that in mind.
00:22:49Option two.
00:22:55And that's even more revealing than the first one.
00:22:57Yeah.
00:22:58This is big in Europe.
00:23:00Between you and me, I'm written for this guy.
00:23:02Mm-hmm.
00:23:04I see.
00:23:04Do you have anything more modest?
00:23:09Hmm.
00:23:10Modest?
00:23:11Yeah.
00:23:11That seems to be the style I've been seeing these days.
00:23:16With the rich folk, at least.
00:23:19You know, now that you say it, I think I do have something.
00:23:27Aha.
00:23:31What do you think?
00:23:33I think she'd really like that.
00:23:42Can I have a margarita?
00:23:44You can't be serious, darling.
00:23:47She'll have a friend at 75 with Konya.
00:23:50Flora, what are you doing here?
00:23:52Making sure you look the part.
00:23:54You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?
00:23:57Yes, more than anything.
00:23:59Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize.
00:24:02We need to get our hands on that code fast.
00:24:05Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery.
00:24:08But until then, we're in this together.
00:24:10Yes?
00:24:12Yeah.
00:24:14Excellent.
00:24:16Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:18Make him even more vulnerable and get him to tell me where the code is.
00:24:22And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:24:27Um, be nice?
00:24:32Your ignorance is both cute and annoying.
00:24:35No.
00:24:37A man like Blaine Ellington is going to become vulnerable from two things.
00:24:42Drinking with him.
00:24:45And going to bed with him.
00:24:47Right.
00:24:49I-I can-I can do that.
00:24:52I hope so.
00:24:53Because he's coming this way.
00:24:56Get the code soon, honey.
00:24:59For your mother.
00:25:01Okay.
00:25:04Oh!
00:25:05And darling.
00:25:07Have fun.
00:25:10All right.
00:25:13Valentina.
00:25:15How are you?
00:25:17Wonderful, love.
00:25:18I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:25:21Is that so?
00:25:22Indeed.
00:25:23I was so distracted.
00:25:25It affected my croquet score.
00:25:28Oh, no.
00:25:29Distracted over little old me.
00:25:30Yes.
00:25:31I simply must know everything about you.
00:25:34Well, what would you like to know?
00:25:37Everything.
00:25:39Well, I don't know about everything.
00:25:41It might take some time for me to open up.
00:25:44Well, maybe after a few drinks.
00:25:47Only if you can keep up.
00:25:49See, I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking.
00:25:54Oh, no.
00:25:55Well, here goes nothing.
00:26:01Oh, man.
00:26:02Oh.
00:26:03Oh.
00:26:05Oh.
00:26:05Wait.
00:26:06That's really bad.
00:26:07What the fuck?
00:26:08That's not how I'm at.
00:26:10That's funny.
00:26:11That's not.
00:26:12What the fuck?
00:26:16You know, my sister is implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is
00:26:23because I forget stuff.
00:26:25And...
00:26:27Are you forgetful?
00:26:29I mean, yeah.
00:26:32Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:26:36Really?
00:26:37Yeah.
00:26:37It cost me $10,000 just to get them reekied.
00:26:42Which is why I should probably tell someone in case I do forget.
00:26:49So, maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome and trustworthy.
00:26:53Well, if you'd like, go ahead.
00:26:57I'll tell you.
00:26:58But first...
00:27:04I'm going to hit the men's room.
00:27:10This is it.
00:27:11All I need to do is ask him where the code is, and my mission is over.
00:27:15Nothing can stop me now.
00:27:17Ariel?
00:27:19Except my ex-boyfriend.
00:27:23I don't know what you're talking about, darling.
00:27:25I don't know this Ariel.
00:27:29No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:30You are definitely Ariel.
00:27:34Well, what are you doing in a place like this?
00:27:37You're poor.
00:27:38Fine.
00:27:39Please just leave, Max.
00:27:41It's Maximilian now.
00:27:43Because I'm Max, and I make millions.
00:27:46Whatever.
00:27:47Please.
00:27:48I'm begging you.
00:27:49Look at you.
00:27:50You look so much better.
00:27:53You look...
00:27:54Oh, what's that word?
00:27:56Rich?
00:27:57Please.
00:27:57I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately, but I've become very rich.
00:28:03Yes.
00:28:04You've sent me 50 messages about it.
00:28:06I had to block your number.
00:28:07Oh.
00:28:08Yeah, that's right.
00:28:09Please, I'll do whatever you want, okay?
00:28:11I just...
00:28:13How about a kiss for old time's sake?
00:28:16You know, Ariel, sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together.
00:28:21This isn't happening.
00:28:22Do you not remember when we'd go and get Taco Tuesday at that Mexican restaurant and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:28:31I'm very...
00:28:34Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:35Yes, he does.
00:28:36A situationship at best.
00:28:39Let go, Max.
00:28:40Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:28:43Get off of it.
00:28:46Blaine Ellington?
00:28:48Max Fletcher.
00:28:49Maximilian?
00:28:50What are you doing with that peasant?
00:28:53That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
00:28:55Blaine Ellington.
00:28:57Getting my sloppy seconds.
00:29:12This isn't over.
00:29:17Come on, Regina.
00:29:22Just stay away from my man, skink.
00:29:25He's actually trying to.
00:29:29Are you okay?
00:29:31Yeah, I think so.
00:29:33We gotta get out of here.
00:29:34This isn't good.
00:29:43Care to explain this?
00:29:45I assume the article does a good job.
00:29:49Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?
00:29:55What are you, a child?
00:29:56I'm not a child.
00:29:58But he started it.
00:29:59Well, I don't care who started it.
00:30:01Ellington is a company based in family values.
00:30:06I was out with my girlfriend trying to uphold those family values.
00:30:10Oh, no, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't play the girlfriend card, okay?
00:30:13The onus is you on this, pal.
00:30:16You know, maybe, maybe, maybe your sister was right.
00:30:20Maybe you're too much of a risk, even though you say you've settled down.
00:30:24Either way, I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.
00:30:30What would your father think?
00:30:48And the easy lies the head that wears a crown.
00:30:51What is that?
00:30:52Some family motto I'm not aware of?
00:30:55It's Shakespeare, you idiot.
00:30:56Ah.
00:30:57What are you doing here?
00:30:59You don't want any of this.
00:31:00You don't know what I want.
00:31:03Uh, booze and bimbos?
00:31:05Or does page one of the paper say something different?
00:31:08She's not a bimbo.
00:31:12Then don't treat her like one.
00:31:14Treat her like dad treated mom.
00:31:20How do you mean?
00:31:23Bring her completely into your life.
00:31:25Let her know everything about you.
00:31:28I'm trying to.
00:31:29Just last night, we were sharing everything with each other.
00:31:32How can you share more?
00:31:34Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:31:38I will.
00:31:39I'm going to get close to this woman.
00:31:41You'll see.
00:31:42Hmm.
00:31:42And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one stem.
00:31:48Shakespeare.
00:31:50Yeah.
00:31:52Ow.
00:32:03Martina, how are you?
00:32:05How am I?
00:32:07Yeah.
00:32:08How are you?
00:32:09I am annoyed.
00:32:11Time is running out, understand?
00:32:12Mm-hmm.
00:32:13We chose you because we thought you could get the job done.
00:32:15But now I'm not so sure.
00:32:19Wait.
00:32:21Oh my God.
00:32:22Do you have feelings for him?
00:32:23What?
00:32:24No.
00:32:25I hope not.
00:32:26Because you have four days to get that code?
00:32:29Or you can say bye to Mommy.
00:32:32Other than that...
00:32:33I am fine.
00:32:35Thanks for asking.
00:32:47Happy hump day, bestie!
00:32:49It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:32:52Oh, right.
00:32:53Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:32:54Better.
00:32:56And worse.
00:32:58That sounds super complicated.
00:33:00You have no idea.
00:33:02Aaron.
00:33:03Can you come in here?
00:33:04I'll be right there.
00:33:06Good thing you've got work to distract you.
00:33:08Good thing.
00:33:15You have the file for the new China branch?
00:33:18Yeah.
00:33:27Long night.
00:33:30You know what?
00:33:33Let's forget about the file.
00:33:44Let's just close our eyes for, um, ten minutes.
00:33:56That's an order.
00:33:58Okay.
00:34:05This is nice.
00:34:09Yeah.
00:34:11This should be, like, an everyday thing.
00:34:15Mm-hmm.
00:34:19Good morning.
00:34:20Another beautiful day in Ellington.
00:34:22Let's get it.
00:34:22Woo!
00:34:23Oh, Hannah.
00:34:29Well, I guess that's over.
00:34:34Um...
00:34:34Well, everything should be there.
00:34:38I can't even concentrate on work right now.
00:34:42Oh?
00:34:42Why?
00:34:43Well, I don't know if you heard, but...
00:34:48Oh, my.
00:34:50That's, uh, quite a scene.
00:34:51Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:34:54I can imagine.
00:34:56Yeah, I just...
00:34:57I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.
00:35:03You should just talk to her.
00:35:05And be honest.
00:35:06Yeah.
00:35:07I'm gonna call her.
00:35:09What?
00:35:12Yeah, can you be in the room when I do it?
00:35:15Uh, you want me in the room?
00:35:17Yeah.
00:35:18Maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.
00:35:22Tell me if she sounds upset.
00:35:26Uh...
00:35:26Yeah.
00:35:27I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:35:29Oh, gosh.
00:35:29She makes me so nervous.
00:35:31I'm sure you make her nervous, too.
00:35:34Shit, shit, shit.
00:35:35Uh-oh.
00:35:38Uh-oh.
00:35:40Think, Ariel.
00:35:40Think.
00:35:42Uh...
00:35:42I'm gonna be sick.
00:35:43Uh, bathroom!
00:35:51Hello, darling.
00:35:52Hey, Valentina.
00:35:55How are you?
00:35:57Thriving, my dear.
00:35:58How are you feeling?
00:36:00A little banged up, but I've been worse.
00:36:04You should have been with me in my partying days in Ibiza.
00:36:07I was an absolute heathen.
00:36:14Well, I'm glad to hear you're feeling all right.
00:36:17Uh...
00:36:18I was worried.
00:36:21No need, darling.
00:36:23I'm...
00:36:23I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:36:26Uh, I wanted to know if, uh...
00:36:30I get to see you again.
00:36:31You will.
00:36:32Very soon.
00:36:39Uh, sorry.
00:36:42Can I help you?
00:36:44I couldn't hear you.
00:36:45It kind of sounded like...
00:36:46Uh, sorry.
00:36:48Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.
00:36:52Must be going.
00:36:54Okay.
00:36:54Uh, sure.
00:36:56See you.
00:36:57Ta-ta!
00:37:03Community theater.
00:37:05Hmm.
00:37:06Character.
00:37:07I'm rehearsing.
00:37:10We're a mystery.
00:37:13I'll, uh, send you the dates.
00:37:16I'm not in the theater.
00:37:19That's fair.
00:37:35Mom, I'm home.
00:37:36Hi, honey.
00:37:38How was your day?
00:37:41It was...
00:37:42Not boring.
00:37:44How was yours?
00:37:46It was wonderful.
00:37:48I did laundry, watched some soaps.
00:37:52Um, what are you cooking?
00:37:54I told you I was gonna cook tonight.
00:37:56Well, you weren't home yet,
00:37:57and I wanted to go ahead and get started
00:37:59so your co-worker could have some, too.
00:38:01My co-worker?
00:38:04Hello, darling.
00:38:12Flora, what are you doing here?
00:38:15I was going to call you about a few work questions,
00:38:18but I was, uh, in the neighborhood
00:38:21and thought I'd drop in.
00:38:24Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion.
00:38:26You didn't say anything about a job promotion.
00:38:29I guess it slipped my mind.
00:38:33Well, you two don't mind me.
00:38:34Go ahead and have your work talk.
00:38:36Then I'll be ready soon.
00:38:48What are you doing here?
00:38:50Checking in to see what progress was made last night.
00:38:54I, um...
00:38:54I got close to finding out where he hit the drive,
00:38:58but I...
00:38:58But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:39:01I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:39:03Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:39:08You're not getting attached.
00:39:10What?
00:39:11No.
00:39:11Of course not.
00:39:13Good.
00:39:13I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:39:19Dinner's ready.
00:39:21Deeply sorry, darling.
00:39:23Urgent business.
00:39:24Must be taking off.
00:39:25Oh, um, okay.
00:39:26Well, it was nice meeting you.
00:39:28You too, darling.
00:39:30Mwah.
00:39:34Tick tock.
00:39:47All right.
00:39:48I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal.
00:39:52Any ideas?
00:39:54Inner rehab.
00:39:56Too tacky.
00:39:58Go volunteer in a third world country?
00:40:01Mm, too obvious.
00:40:03Record an apology video for social media and post it there.
00:40:06Too cringe.
00:40:11Adopt an orphan.
00:40:13Now that is something.
00:40:14Ariel, how good are you at raising kids?
00:40:16Um, let's think of other options.
00:40:21What about a charity ball?
00:40:23Yes.
00:40:24That's it.
00:40:25That's the one.
00:40:26I like that.
00:40:27I like it a lot.
00:40:29Isn't she good?
00:40:30Phenomenal.
00:40:32Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant.
00:40:35So, really, this kind of all comes back to...
00:40:38Got it.
00:40:38Wait.
00:40:39What charity would it be for?
00:40:41How about unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:40:45I'd love that.
00:40:46Let's get it rolling.
00:40:47I'll start right away.
00:40:49Ariel, you've become an integral part of our company, and I want to have you seated at
00:40:55our VIP table.
00:40:56Oh, my gosh.
00:40:58I'm honored.
00:40:59Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend Valentina, and you.
00:41:04Good job, Ariel.
00:41:10Let's see how it looks.
00:41:12Come out.
00:41:16It fits perfectly, darling.
00:41:20Wow.
00:41:21Stunning.
00:41:26Next, I'll have to get you a dress.
00:41:28A dress?
00:41:30What's the occasion?
00:41:32Well, I'm hosting this charity ball, and I would love for you to be my date.
00:41:38I love a good ball.
00:41:41But I must check my schedule, darling.
00:41:44Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?
00:41:48My new AI tech is going to revolutionize the world.
00:41:53Ah, yes.
00:41:55We got interrupted.
00:41:56You were going to tell me something important.
00:42:00What were you going to say?
00:42:03It's not really that necessary.
00:42:07You don't trust me?
00:42:08I do.
00:42:09This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO, and I just want it to go well.
00:42:16But I thought I was special.
00:42:19You are.
00:42:20I just...
00:42:21Well, you know, if you don't trust me...
00:42:25Wait.
00:42:30So, you do trust me?
00:42:32Mm-hmm.
00:42:42So, Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?
00:42:47Mm-hmm.
00:42:50Where is it?
00:42:51It's here.
00:42:53In the mansion.
00:42:57It's...
00:43:04Mm-hmm.
00:43:13Where in the mansion?
00:43:16It's...
00:43:21Yeah.
00:43:24Now?
00:43:28Okay.
00:43:29I'll be there.
00:43:33No, I...
00:43:36Where are you going, darling?
00:43:39They need me to be on this call with China, so...
00:43:42I have to leave.
00:43:44You have to leave right now, darling?
00:43:46Yeah.
00:43:47Now.
00:43:48I'm sorry.
00:43:50Pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:43:53Yeah.
00:43:57Martina was right about you.
00:43:59I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:01No, I can't.
00:44:03I don't know.
00:44:03I don't know.
00:44:05I don't know.
00:44:27Uh-huh.
00:44:31Did you get it?
00:44:33The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:44:36Excellent, darling.
00:44:38Excellent.
00:45:02Max, what are you doing here?
00:45:04What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:45:06Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?
00:45:10You wouldn't understand.
00:45:11Oh, I understand.
00:45:12You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:45:17No, I'm not.
00:45:19You know, I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.
00:45:25It's only the right thing to do.
00:45:28Please don't.
00:45:30You don't know what I'm doing.
00:45:31Oh, you'll lose your job?
00:45:33Your reputation?
00:45:35Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:45:39What do you want, Max?
00:45:40I just want a little, an arrangement.
00:45:45I'd rather not.
00:45:46Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:45:51Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:45:54Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.
00:45:57I want to destroy you.
00:46:00You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.
00:46:05If by tomorrow, I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town,
00:46:12I'll do it for you.
00:46:28You seem extra happy today.
00:46:31I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole nother level last night.
00:46:36Wow, that's awesome, man.
00:46:38I'm so happy for you.
00:46:40Hi, Mr. Lington.
00:46:41Hi, Kurt.
00:46:42Hi, Anna.
00:46:43Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:46:47Kurt?
00:46:48Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:46:54Hi, Ariel.
00:46:56You all right?
00:46:57Yeah, I'm all right.
00:46:59Um, I actually had an idea about the Cherry Bowl.
00:47:04Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:47:09I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:13Where?
00:47:14I was thinking your house.
00:47:20Uh, I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:47:25Well, if we host it ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:47:31And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:47:34Yeah, that makes sense.
00:47:37Okay, let's do it.
00:47:39Great.
00:47:40I'll send out the invitations.
00:47:45She really knows his company, inside and out.
00:47:48What do you know about Ariel?
00:47:51What do you want to know?
00:48:06Here you go, Mom.
00:48:08I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:48:10I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:12That's okay.
00:48:13We can watch it next weekend.
00:48:16Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:48:20Mom, you are my friend.
00:48:21People your age, who you can be out dancing with, flirting with boys.
00:48:29I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:48:32What?
00:48:33What's he like?
00:48:34It's complicated.
00:48:37Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:48:40Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:48:50Sweetie, I'm fine.
00:48:52I just need some rest.
00:49:14And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.
00:49:18I'm dreading giving this speech.
00:49:20I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:49:24I always thought that was a little pervy, but...
00:49:28I promise.
00:49:29You're going to be amazing.
00:49:32Thank you so much for helping with this.
00:49:36This charity ball idea was genius.
00:49:39I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:49:41I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:49:47Well, I should get going.
00:49:50Wait, um...
00:49:51I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:49:53Make sure the dress fits.
00:49:56I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:49:58All right.
00:49:59Good night.
00:50:13Hello, darling.
00:50:14I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:50:17It's perfect.
00:50:19I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:50:22I can't wait either, darling.
00:50:23Good night.
00:50:46Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:50:49Thanks, Kurt.
00:50:50You're looking sharp.
00:50:52Oh, yeah.
00:50:53Well, got a dress to impress, you know?
00:50:56Are you trying to impress anyone?
00:50:58Nah.
00:51:00Listen, random.
00:51:03Does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:51:06I don't think so.
00:51:08Do you like her?
00:51:10No.
00:51:11No, no, no, no.
00:51:13No, I'm just trying to make...
00:51:15friendly conversation.
00:51:17Yeah.
00:51:19We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:51:24Oh.
00:51:25You're still here.
00:51:27Yeah.
00:51:28Uh, listen.
00:51:28Listen, if someone were to ask Hannah to dance, what do you think the chances are that she
00:51:36would say yes?
00:51:39Probably good.
00:51:41Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:51:43No.
00:51:44No.
00:51:44No, no, no, no, no.
00:51:45No, I'm just, um, a fan of wild hypothetical scenarios.
00:51:51That one just sprung to mind.
00:51:53Mm-hmm.
00:51:55Okay.
00:51:57Yeah.
00:51:58Um, well, I'm...
00:52:01I'm going to go...
00:52:04help Blaine practice his speech.
00:52:07So I'm going to do that right now.
00:52:10I will see you later.
00:52:12All right, see ya.
00:52:14Yeah.
00:52:15And you must be Ariel.
00:52:20Yes, hi.
00:52:23Hmm.
00:52:24You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:52:27He has?
00:52:28Oh, yes, yes.
00:52:29In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:52:34I suppose so.
00:52:36Wonderful.
00:52:38Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done if he were in Blaine's
00:52:43situation.
00:52:44Wow, that's such an honor.
00:52:46I heard he was a great man.
00:52:49He was a great man.
00:52:52Martina, have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:52:57Yes, briefly.
00:52:58She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.
00:53:01Man, yes, she has.
00:53:02In fact, I can, uh, I can see her playing a bigger role at Ellington if she keeps it
00:53:08up.
00:53:09Why wait?
00:53:10She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:13Really?
00:53:14I think so.
00:53:15Don't you, Ariel?
00:53:17Uh, mm-hmm.
00:53:20Amazing.
00:53:21Well, I can't wait.
00:53:27Me either.
00:53:33I can't wait.
00:54:07Ariel.
00:54:09Blaine.
00:54:10There you are.
00:54:10I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:54:12Here I am.
00:54:13Have you seen Valentina?
00:54:16No, I don't think so.
00:54:17About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:54:21Um, no.
00:54:23No, I, I, I don't think so.
00:54:24In fact...
00:54:26What?
00:54:27Nothing.
00:54:28It's ridiculous.
00:54:30I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me, that would be great.
00:54:36I'll get right on that.
00:54:38Bye.
00:54:46Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.
00:54:50Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:54:53Okay.
00:54:55You can do this.
00:54:58Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:55:01Uh, you must be mistaken, love.
00:55:05I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:55:08Yeah, okay.
00:55:10Ariel.
00:55:12No, seriously.
00:55:13My name is Valentina Kingsley and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:55:17Oh, I get it.
00:55:19It's like one of those improv games or something.
00:55:23No, no, no.
00:55:23No game.
00:55:24My name is...
00:55:26Who the hell should I be?
00:55:28Just be yourself.
00:55:30I'm the Queen of England.
00:55:34You can really tell it's me?
00:55:36Yeah, but, I mean, I can be very observant.
00:55:40Really?
00:55:41Mm-hmm.
00:55:43Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:55:46Okay, can I ask why?
00:55:49Well, it's really complicated.
00:55:52Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:55:56Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:55:59Yeah, sure.
00:56:00Aw, well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:56:08Yeah, thanks.
00:56:09I'm gonna need it.
00:56:31Ah, there you are, darling.
00:56:33Ah, Valentina.
00:56:34I'm so glad to see you.
00:56:36Look at this place.
00:56:38I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:56:41I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:56:43Of course.
00:56:45You're doing a speech, I see.
00:56:47Well, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:56:49They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:56:52You make me feel so confident.
00:56:54But I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:57:03Of course.
00:57:06Okay, perfect.
00:57:07Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside.
00:57:10I must go speak with her.
00:57:11Ah, Valentina.
00:57:12I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:57:20Yes.
00:57:21I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:57:23Great.
00:57:25Where would this be taking place?
00:57:26In the study or?
00:57:29Upstairs.
00:57:29Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:57:33Ah, I see.
00:57:35You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:57:42What the heck did I say?
00:57:44I'll give you a hint.
00:57:46If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:57:52I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:57:56Good luck, darling.
00:58:05Liz.
00:58:21Excuse me.
00:58:22What are you doing in here?
00:58:28Excuse me.
00:58:29What are you doing in here?
00:58:31Um.
00:58:32And who are you?
00:58:34Oh.
00:58:35Um.
00:58:36Uh.
00:58:37Um, I, I, um.
00:58:40You look lost.
00:58:43I am, darling.
00:58:44I am lost.
00:58:46I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:58:51Grandfather.
00:58:52Yes?
00:58:52This is Valentina Kingsley.
00:58:54Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:58:57Oh, yes, yes.
00:58:59From the, uh, front page of the, the Times.
00:59:01Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:59:03Hope it was all good things.
00:59:06Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.
00:59:12And I trust that Blaine is, uh, treating you, uh, respectfully, like a lady.
00:59:19He is.
00:59:20Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.
00:59:23If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.
00:59:28Right.
00:59:30Good thing.
00:59:32Shall we return to the party?
00:59:34Yes, we shall.
00:59:36Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
00:59:39You too, sir.
00:59:59You seem quiet.
01:00:02Is everything all right?
01:00:03Everything's fine, darling.
01:00:06Hey, Valentina.
01:00:07Hannah, I have a girl question for you.
01:00:13Oh, my God, for the love of God.
01:00:16You clearly have a crush on Hannah.
01:00:17Just ask her to dance.
01:00:19You just met me, you can already tell.
01:00:21Yes.
01:00:23You read me like a book.
01:00:25I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:00:27You're really inquisitive.
01:00:29In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:00:32Would you?
01:00:33That would be great.
01:00:35Toad.
01:00:40Hannah, I need a favor.
01:00:42Anything.
01:00:43When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
01:00:46If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
01:00:48And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.
01:00:53Got it.
01:00:55Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:00:58Really?
01:00:59Sorry.
01:01:01When?
01:01:02Tonight.
01:01:03Oh, right.
01:01:04It's a ball.
01:01:18It's time, brother.
01:01:19You ready?
01:01:20As ready as I'll ever be.
01:01:21All right.
01:01:26Thank you for coming tonight.
01:01:28It means a lot.
01:01:30Of course.
01:01:32You're going to be amazing.
01:01:39Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.
01:01:44It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend, your CEO of Ellington Incorporated,
01:01:52Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:01:59Good evening, everyone.
01:02:01I want to, before we get started, thank two people who, without their help, none of this
01:02:08would have happened tonight.
01:02:09My assistant Ariel and my girlfriend, Valentina.
01:02:17I'm not sure where they are right now, but I want to thank them for having my back.
01:02:27Hi, Anna.
01:02:29Oh, hi.
01:02:30You haven't seen Valentina around, have you?
01:02:33I wanted to try to find her so she can watch Blaine's speech.
01:02:37Valentina is sick, and Ariel was helping her get medicine.
01:02:42Oh, okay.
01:02:45Um, you look really pretty, by the way.
01:02:49Thanks.
01:02:51You look really pretty, too.
01:03:14All right, time to find this code.
01:03:35Blaine mentioned something I said?
01:03:37What the heck did I say?
01:03:42The paintings.
01:03:56Thanks.
01:03:58So, tonight, I'm pledging $10 million to help research cures for illnesses and disorders unknown.
01:04:08Thank you all for coming.
01:04:09I hope to see you on the dance floor.
01:04:31I'm sorry, Mom.
01:04:33I failed you.
01:05:00I failed you, too.
01:05:04I'll give you a hint, if you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing
01:05:09in the world.
01:05:13He wasn't talking about the painting.
01:05:18He was talking about me.
01:05:34He was talking about me.
01:06:09Okay.
01:06:14Think, Ariel.
01:06:26What could the numbers be?
01:06:28It couldn't be our first date, could it?
01:06:58I've got the code.
01:07:00Excellent, darling.
01:07:02I'll give it to you after the ball.
01:07:04Or you could give it to me now.
01:07:08Flora?
01:07:13What are you doing here?
01:07:15I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be.
01:07:18Just like you, apparently.
01:07:22The code, darling.
01:07:27The future.
01:07:30In the palm of my hand.
01:07:33I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:07:37Blaine's a good man.
01:07:39You're awful.
01:07:41He's rich, darling.
01:07:42He'll get over it.
01:07:44My mom?
01:07:45And her surgery?
01:07:47I've been accused of many things.
01:07:50But I always keep my word.
01:07:53Now, go and celebrate.
01:07:55You deserve it, darling.
01:08:16Here we go.
01:08:22There you are.
01:08:25Here you are, darling.
01:08:25And take a look.
01:08:25How are you feeling?
01:08:28Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:08:31Excellent.
01:08:32Care to dance?
01:08:33Certainly.
01:08:37Well, well, well, well.
01:08:42Look at the happy couple.
01:08:48How did you get in?
01:08:50Oh, I have my ways.
01:08:51We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:08:57Anyway, I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:09:03You need to leave.
01:09:04Actually, I don't think I do, because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:09:10She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:09:11No, no, no.
01:09:13There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:09:17What?
01:09:18If only your little assistant had assisted you in researching her.
01:09:23You know, it's funny.
01:09:24I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:09:28Lane, don't listen to him.
01:09:30What is he talking about?
01:09:33Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here.
01:09:36But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:09:52Ariel?
01:10:03This whole time, you've been Valentina?
01:10:06That's right.
01:10:08This whole time, you pretended to care about me.
01:10:12But you're just a liar.
01:10:14And worse, she's poor.
01:10:18Why?
01:10:19Yes, Ariel.
01:10:21But why?
01:10:23I'm so sorry.
01:10:25Ariel.
01:10:26Ariel, wait.
01:10:28How embarrassing.
01:10:32You know, I looked into you.
01:10:35You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here.
01:10:40How preposterous.
01:10:42If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:10:46Ew.
01:10:47You're poor?
01:10:50Regina!
01:10:54Whew.
01:10:56You're my hero.
01:10:58Thanks.
01:10:59Sometimes I just gotta tell him.
01:11:01You know?
01:11:05Ariel!
01:11:14What are you smiling about?
01:11:16I mean, come on.
01:11:18This proves it, right?
01:11:20He's a joke.
01:11:22No, he is your brother, Martina.
01:11:25He's a liability, Richard.
01:11:26And you are giving him the company with the luxury of not having to deal with this shit show
01:11:30because you won't be alive much longer.
01:11:32Oh, well, don't bet on that.
01:11:34But, you know, you've got a lot of nerve talking to me like this, kid.
01:11:40You've got a lot of nerve letting this ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:11:45I should be running this company.
01:11:48Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:11:55Look, I'm not poor.
01:11:56What is that?
01:11:57I don't want to hear it.
01:11:58I do not want to hear it.
01:11:59I promise you.
01:12:00You lied to me.
01:12:01Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me in there.
01:12:03That is fair.
01:12:10Regina!
01:12:32That was a disaster.
01:12:38I just don't understand.
01:12:40Why would she go through all of that?
01:12:43I don't know.
01:12:44But, uh, these scandals are exhausting.
01:12:49Yeah.
01:12:50I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:12:58I got a lot to think about.
01:13:01What do you mean?
01:13:03I mean, we may have to take the company in a complete different direction for it to gain back the
01:13:08public's trust.
01:13:10You can't be serious.
01:13:16Something better happen soon, or I guess much worse.
01:13:22Did she want anything from you?
01:13:25I don't know, Martina.
01:13:27Nothing valuable?
01:13:28Martina, I said I don't...
01:13:51No!
01:13:53No!

01:15:32Drink. You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:15:40There it is.
01:15:42Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:15:45People walk in and out of my office, having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:15:52Of course, I won't be able to enjoy too much longer, since my programmer is going to pick it up
01:15:57tonight.
01:15:58I guess I just feel bad.
01:16:00To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:16:05Break the rules a little.
01:16:08I guess.
01:16:10Ask any CEO, and they'll agree.
01:16:13Including your little boy toy.
01:16:16Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:16:19Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:16:25What?
01:16:26All I need is your wiring info, and I can send it on over.
01:16:30I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed?
01:16:34I'm sorry, you haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:16:39No, that's why we're here, isn't it?

01:17:27Hi, Cutie.
01:17:31Care for a drink?
01:17:32Oh, no. I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:17:35Wait, what was that?
01:17:36Mr. Ellington, I have a delivery for you.
01:17:39From who?
01:17:40Ariel.
01:17:44From who?
01:17:45Ariel.
01:17:47I don't want it. Take it back.
01:17:49She said you might say that, but she said that it was very, very important.
01:17:54How important?
01:17:56I don't know, but she did say that it was something so important
01:18:00that she only trusted me to deliver it, so it must be a big deal.
01:18:19Oh, my God.
01:18:20Oh, my God.
01:18:21Ew, what's happening?
01:18:23What's going on? What does this mean?
01:18:42Oh, Flora?
01:18:43Yes, darling?
01:18:45Your appointment had to leave early.
01:18:47I asked if they wanted to schedule, but they said no.
01:18:49I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:18:52What was the name?
01:18:56Valentina Kingsley?
01:19:17You're rich.
01:19:18You'll get over it.
01:19:20Darling.

01:19:48Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh, that one, the thing?
01:19:52Yes, yes, let's, uh, let's do that.
01:19:59Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:20:08Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this.
01:20:12But, but it's time, but it's time, but it's time, to celebrate.
01:20:34You are going to regret this, I promise you that.
01:20:41Jeez, what did you do?
01:20:43I don't know, girl, but the way she wears that dress, she can step on me any day.
01:20:51I see, I knew you could do it, I knew it.
01:20:55You know, your dad would be so proud of you.
01:21:09Dr. Westfall.
01:21:10Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:21:12Is surgery over?
01:21:13How did it go?
01:21:13Yes, we just finished.
01:21:15Um, there were complications.
01:21:17Complications?
01:21:17Yes, but we were able to work through them, and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:21:23Really?
01:21:24Yeah, really, yes.
01:21:25In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:21:27She's going to need to rest for a few hours, but when she wakes up, she's going to feel
01:21:31better than she has in a long time.
01:21:33I can't thank you enough.
01:21:35I'm happy to help.
01:22:15Come in, come in!
01:22:18Welcome!
01:22:24Ariel!
01:22:26Mom, why didn't you hang out of bed?
01:22:28The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:22:30I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window and I got kind of excited.
01:22:37Are you hungry?
01:22:39Thirsty?
01:22:40No, thank you.
01:22:41But thank you.
01:22:41Oh, thank you.
01:22:42Sit down.
01:22:43Make yourself comfortable.
01:22:45Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:22:48Oh, of course.
01:22:52I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:23:02I'm so, so sorry.
01:23:04I, uh, I understand why you did it.
01:23:09And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:23:13Thank you for everything.
01:23:17I don't even know where to start.
01:23:21I'm not looking for an apology.
01:23:24You're not?
01:23:25No.
01:23:27See?
01:23:28I'm still CEO and I need an assistant.
01:23:32And you're kind of the best in town.
01:23:37I accept.
01:23:39And, uh, you're still looking for a girlfriend?
01:23:47Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:24:03I love you, Valentina.
01:24:05I mean, Ariel.
01:24:08That's gonna take some getting used to.
01:24:12There aren't any starry rooftop views here.
01:24:15But this is my special place.
01:24:19It's even better.
