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