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