00:00:00.
00:00:30Hey, this is Richard Allenton. I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message.
00:00:48Hey, Grandpa.
00:00:52It's one thing to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody-two-shoe women.
00:00:56But to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind date, that's low.
00:01:07Let's hope this one's different.
00:01:10I don't even know what to say to this guy.
00:01:13We don't know how to talk to rich people.
00:01:16Be sexy.
00:01:17Darling, just act better than everyone else in the room.
00:01:21And being sexy is easy.
00:01:24Bite your lip, push up the girls.
00:01:26It works every time.
00:01:28Wait, but what girls?
00:01:29And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily.
00:01:33So challenge them, be bold, and put them on the spot.
00:01:37I don't think I can do this.
00:01:39The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your mother's surgery.
00:01:45It's your call.
00:01:46Whoa.
00:01:47It's your call.
00:01:56Ooh.
00:01:57Ooh.
00:01:59Ooh.
00:02:00Ooh.
00:02:02Ooh.
00:02:05Ooh.
00:02:07Ooh.
00:02:12Ooh.
00:02:12Ooh.
00:02:13Ooh.
00:02:14Are you going to stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:02:19Of course.
00:02:27Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.
00:02:34You're so...
00:02:35Rich?
00:02:37Sexy?
00:02:38Frankly, yes.
00:02:41Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:45Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:47And you are?
00:02:48Lane Ellington, CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:52And this is a successful company?
00:02:55It's not ringing any bells.
00:02:58Waiter?
00:03:00Yes, Mr. Ellington.
00:03:01You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:03:05Yes, of course.
00:03:06If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:03:09It's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:03:12You want two?
00:03:14Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.
00:03:17Better bring three.
00:03:19Yeah, yes, of course, right away, sir.
00:03:26And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:03:29I invest.
00:03:31In what?
00:03:33In everything.
00:03:36What am I not investing in?
00:03:39Businesses?
00:03:41Charities?
00:03:43I see.
00:03:44And you live in the city?
00:03:47The city.
00:03:49The hills.
00:03:51My yacht.
00:03:54My private island.
00:03:56I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:58You're so impressive.
00:04:01So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:04:05Doesn't surprise me.
00:04:06I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:04:08Um, you've got a little, uh...
00:04:26Kurt?
00:04:27Kurt?
00:04:28What's my manager doing here?
00:04:31Blaine!
00:04:32My business dinner just ended.
00:04:36The presentation for the China branch?
00:04:37Looking good.
00:04:38Amazing.
00:04:39You're the best, Kurt.
00:04:40Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two.
00:04:42I just wanted to say hi.
00:04:44Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:46Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:47Ah, classic.
00:04:49All right, well, you two have fun.
00:04:57I've got to be honest with you.
00:05:01You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.
00:05:05Would you like to come to my place?
00:05:07I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:05:10Absolutely, darling.
00:05:11I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:05:41You like what you say?
00:05:53You're getting there, darling.
00:05:55Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:58Well, then, shall we get started?
00:06:04Uh, not so fast.
00:06:07Okay, a little foreplay?
00:06:09I did not think this to her at all.
00:06:11How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:06:19Looking for something?
00:06:21Oh, um...
00:06:23Ah.
00:06:26I should have known that was your style.
00:06:28Oh, yes, darling.
00:06:33Ugh.
00:06:33I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:06:35I'm not used to being the one tied up.
00:06:37It's usually the other way around.
00:06:44Valentina?
00:06:46Patience, darling.
00:06:47I'm building the suspense.
00:06:50Ah, I see.
00:06:52Where could it be?
00:06:54Right.
00:06:54And you say guys actually like this?
00:06:57Oh, yes.
00:06:58It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:07:02How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:07:12That's...
00:07:12That's new.
00:07:16The painting!
00:07:18Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:07:19Oh, uh...
00:07:20Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:07:24It looks exactly like...
00:07:25The one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:07:28It's where I keep my safe.
00:07:31Huh.
00:07:32People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:07:35Thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:38Oh, no.
00:07:38It's quite popular.
00:07:41Where do you hide your...
00:07:42Luxurious safekeepings?
00:07:45In a super...
00:07:47Super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:49Oh, come on.
00:07:53Now, why don't you come over here and...
00:07:55Get this thing started.
00:07:57Oh, uh...
00:07:58Most unfortunate.
00:07:59I'm...
00:07:59I'm getting the utmost important business call.
00:08:02And I must take it.
00:08:04Right now?
00:08:05What?
00:08:06What about me?
00:08:08Valentina!
00:08:12Wait!
00:08:14Untie me!
00:08:19Ew.
00:08:20Really, Blank?
00:08:22What?
00:08:23You and your models.
00:08:25Last night was not a model.
00:08:29I was actually impressed.
00:08:31Did I hear it right?
00:08:34Blaine actually had a date he liked.
00:08:36It was fantastic.
00:08:38The other girls are so boring.
00:08:41But this one...
00:08:42She's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:08:45I must see her again.
00:08:46Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:50It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.
00:08:57Grandfather.
00:08:58Hmm?
00:08:59Listen to him.
00:09:00He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:09:02I am much more qualified.
00:09:03Yeah.
00:09:06I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:09:08No, no, no, no, no.
00:09:11Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:09:13Right?
00:09:14You were meant to be some CEO.
00:09:17No, but Blaine, when learning time?
00:09:21Whatever.
00:09:23Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:09:26I have actual work to attend to.
00:09:32Yeah, yeah.
00:09:33Thanks.
00:09:33Thanks.
00:09:33Thanks.
00:09:33Thanks.
00:09:38Hello?
00:09:41How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:45To perfection.
00:09:48Charity has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:50Won't be long until he slips up, and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:57Brilliant.
00:09:58It's all coming together perfectly.
00:10:00And the VR tech you're developing, it'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?
00:10:05Oh, yes.
00:10:06It'll be ready.
00:10:06Soon, we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:10:22What's he doing here?
00:10:24Speaking of girls, I think I know who'd be perfect as your new assistant.
00:10:29Sorry.
00:10:30I'm fine.
00:10:33Ariel.
00:10:34How does he know my name?
00:10:36You dropped your badge.
00:10:44There you go.
00:10:46Thanks.
00:10:53You're just amazing.
00:10:57Are you playing hide-and-seek?
00:10:58Is that where you were late?
00:10:59Can I hide next?
00:11:00No, I was dropping your mom off at the hospital.
00:11:03Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:11:05Wait, oh my God, is she okay?
00:11:07Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:11:08She's just getting some tests done.
00:11:10Oh, thank goodness.
00:11:12Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:11:14Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:11:17Are you going to apply?
00:11:18I'm good where I am.
00:11:19But all the girls are applying.
00:11:20Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:11:22You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:11:24I think this position is yours.
00:11:35He's gorgeous.
00:11:37I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:11:42Attention, everyone.
00:11:43My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:11:46I will try my best to live up to my father, but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:11:55And since he is adjusting to this new role, I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:12:01Not me, not me, not me.
00:12:03Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:12:11All right, everyone, back to work.
00:12:16You look exactly like...
00:12:23Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:12:29You're described.
00:12:31Clean, organized desk, confident composure.
00:12:36There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:12:38This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:12:42When do I start?
00:12:43Perfect.
00:12:44First thing I need help with is there's this file.
00:12:48Oh, um, gotta take a phone call.
00:12:50Send it to me in an email.
00:12:55Ariel, he wants to meet you again.
00:12:58Really?
00:12:59Also, I got you a second number.
00:13:02Just click the link to connect it, so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:13:07Great.
00:13:07New number, huh?
00:13:18Hello?
00:13:19Hello, Ariel.
00:13:20This is Dr. Westphal.
00:13:21We just got your mother's results.
00:13:27It's not what we hoped.
00:13:29So we need to move quickly if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:13:33Okay, I understand.
00:13:36I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:13:49Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:51I just finished dinner.
00:13:53Mom, you should be in bed.
00:13:55Honey, I'm fine.
00:13:57Besides, you've been working all day.
00:13:58You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:14:00Mom, please.
00:14:01Honey, sit down.
00:14:11The doctor called?
00:14:14He says it's gotten worse.
00:14:16Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:14:17None of that talk, okay?
00:14:20Mom, eat before your food gets cold.
00:14:23I'll be right back.
00:14:39It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:41Are you ready?
00:14:44Yeah.
00:14:47Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:49I'll make it to go.
00:14:53Oh, where am I?
00:15:13Valentina!
00:15:14Blaine!

00:56:09No game.
00:56:11My name is...
00:56:12Who the hell should I be?
00:56:14Just be yourself.
00:56:16I'm the Queen of England.
00:56:18You can really tell it's me?
00:56:22Well, yeah, but, I mean, I can be very observant.
00:56:26Really?
00:56:27Mm-hmm.
00:56:29Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:56:33Okay.
00:56:34Can I ask why?
00:56:36Well, it's really complicated.
00:56:38Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:56:42Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:56:45Yeah, sure.
00:56:47Aw.
00:56:48Well, good luck with whatever this is.

01:08:16The code darling
01:08:20The future
01:08:25In the palm of my hand
01:08:28I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you
01:08:32Blake's a good man
01:08:34You're awful
01:08:37He's rich darling
01:08:39He'll get over it

01:08:41And her surgery
01:08:43I've been accused of many things
01:08:46But I always keep my word
01:08:48Now
01:08:50Go and celebrate
01:08:51You deserve it darling
01:08:52Balancina
01:09:06Valentina, hi darling, there you are, how are you feeling, stronger than the rains in the
01:09:26Amazon, darling. Excellent. Care as you dance? Certainly. Well, well, well, well, look at the happy couple.
01:09:45How did you get in? Oh, I have my ways. We lied about our names on the guest list. Anyway,
01:09:53I just came here to congratulate you on your little events. You need to leave. Actually,
01:10:02I don't think I do because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:10:07She's Valentina Kingsley. No, no, no. There is no Valentina Kingsley. What? If only your little
01:10:16assistant had assisted you in researching her. You know, it's funny. I haven't actually seen her
01:10:23all night. Blaine, don't listen to him. What is he talking about?
01:10:30She may have fooled everyone in here, but an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:10:38Ariel?
01:10:50Ariel?
01:10:50This whole time, you've been Valentina? That's right. This whole time, you pretended to care
01:11:11about me. But you're just a liar. And worse, she's poor. Why?
01:11:19Yes, Ariel. But why? I'm so sorry.
01:11:25Ariel. Ariel, wait. How embarrassing.
01:11:32You know, I looked into you. You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even
01:11:38rent the Lamo that you drove here. How preposterous. If anybody looks into that,
01:11:44it will be a complete waste of time. Ew. You're poor?
01:11:51Regina!
01:11:54Phew. You're my hero.
01:11:58Thanks. Sometimes I just gotta tell him, you know.
01:12:06Ariel!
01:12:06Ariel!
01:12:07What are you smiling about?
01:12:18I mean, come on. This proves it, right? He's a joke.
01:12:23No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:12:26He's a liability, Richard. And you are giving him the company with the luxury of not having
01:12:31to deal with this shit show because you won't be alive much longer.
01:12:34Oh, I don't do a bet on that. You know, you got a lot of nerve talking to me like this,
01:12:39kid.
01:12:41You've got a lot of nerve letting the ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front
01:12:45of you. I should be running this company. Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:52Look, I'm not. I don't hear it. I do not want to hear it. You lied to me. Not only did you
01:13:03lie to me, but you embarrassed me in there. That is fair.
01:13:12Regina!
01:13:12That was a disaster.
01:13:37I just don't understand. Why would she go through all of that?
01:13:45I don't know. But, uh, these scandals are exhausting.
01:13:51Yeah. I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:13:57Right.
01:13:58I got a lot to think about.
01:14:03What do you mean?
01:14:05I mean, we may have to take the company in a complete different direction for it to gain
01:14:09back the public's trust.
01:14:12You can't be serious.
01:14:14Huh?
01:14:14Something better happen sooner.
01:14:21It gets much worse.
01:14:24Did she want anything from you?
01:14:27I don't know, Martina.
01:14:29Nothing valuable?
01:14:30Martina, I said I don't...
01:14:31No!
01:14:51No!
01:14:55No!
01:14:56ariel baby oh you look like you had a rough night it was a disaster really i feel awful
01:15:15oh i'm so sorry to hear that baby thanks mom well i have something to tell you
01:15:24dr westfall called are you okay what's going on he said that anonymous donor sent in the
01:15:33funds for me to have my operation what i'm scheduled for surgery on tuesday oh my god
01:15:40oh i'm so happy i think this calls for my famous chocolate cake i agree
01:15:50oh
01:16:02It's time to celebrate.
01:16:29To the future, darling.
01:16:32Drink.
01:16:38You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:16:45There it is.
01:16:47Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:16:50People walk in and out of my office, having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:16:55Of course, I won't be able to enjoy too much longer, since my programmer is going to pick
01:17:02it up tonight.
01:17:03I guess I just feel bad.
01:17:06To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:17:10Break the rules a little.
01:17:11I guess.
01:17:15Ask any CEO, and they'll agree.
01:17:18Including your little boy toy.
01:17:21Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:17:23Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:17:30What?
01:17:31All I need is your wiring info, and I can send it on over.
01:17:35I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed.
01:17:40I'm sorry.
01:17:41You haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:17:43No, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:17:50Darlene.
01:17:50Darlene.
01:18:13All right.
01:18:17One more drink, and we'll start packing up my things.
01:18:21Deal.
01:18:22One more.
01:18:27Anna.
01:18:28Hi, Mr. Ellington.
01:18:29May I come in?
01:18:30Sure.
01:18:30Come on in.
01:18:32Hi, cutie.
01:18:37Care for a drink?
01:18:38Oh, no.
01:18:38I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:18:41Wait, what was that?
01:18:42Mr. Ellington.
01:18:42I have a delivery for you.
01:18:45From who?
01:18:46Ariel.
01:18:51From who?
01:18:53Ariel.
01:18:54I don't want it.
01:18:55Take it back.
01:18:56She said you might say that, but she said that it was very, very important.
01:19:01How important?
01:19:04I don't know, but she did say that it was something so important that she only trusted me to deliver it,
01:19:10so it must be a big deal.
01:19:12Oh, my God.
01:19:27Oh, my God.
01:19:29Ew, what's happening?
01:19:30What's going on?
01:19:32What does this mean?
01:19:32Oh, Flora?
01:19:52Yes, darling.
01:19:53Your appointment had to leave early.
01:19:55I asked if they wanted to schedule, but they said no.
01:19:57I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:20:01What was the name?
01:20:04Valentina Kingsley?
01:20:05You're rich.
01:20:26You'll get over it, darling.
01:20:29Oh, what's going on?
01:20:45What does this mean?
01:20:46Thank you for everything.
01:20:58Hannah, did you want to help me with that thing?
01:21:00Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:21:16Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this.
01:21:20But it's time to celebrate.
01:21:39Oh, my God.
01:21:41You are going to regret this.
01:21:46I promise you that.
01:21:51Jeez.
01:21:52What did you do?
01:21:54I don't know, girl.
01:21:55But the way she wears that dress, she can step on me any day.
01:22:01Let me see.
01:22:02I knew you could do it.
01:22:03I knew it.
01:22:04You know, your dad would be so proud of you.
01:22:20Dr. Westfall.
01:22:22Hi, Ariel.
01:22:23Is surgery over?
01:22:24How did it go?
01:22:24Yes, we just finished.
01:22:26There were complications.
01:22:28Complications?
01:22:28Yes, but we were able to work through them,
01:22:31and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:22:34Really?
01:22:35Yeah, really, yes.
01:22:36In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:22:38She's going to need to rest for a few hours,
01:22:41but when she wakes up,
01:22:42she's going to feel better than she has in a long time.
01:22:44I can't thank you enough.
01:22:46I'm happy to help.
01:23:04Come in.
01:23:28Come in.
01:23:28Welcome.
01:23:36Ariel.
01:23:38Mom, why didn't you leave me out of bed?
01:23:40The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:23:42I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window,
01:23:45and I got kind of excited.
01:23:49Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:23:51No, thank you, but thank you.
01:23:53Oh, thank you.
01:23:54Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:23:56Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:24:00Oh, of course.
01:24:04I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:24:06I'm so, so sorry.
01:24:18I, uh...
01:24:19I understand why you did it.
01:24:23And you gave me the drive back,
01:24:25so there's no need to apologize.
01:24:26Thank you for everything.
01:24:30I don't even know where to start.
01:24:33I'm not looking for an apology.
01:24:39You're not?
01:24:40No.
01:24:41See, I'm still CEO, and I need an assistant.
01:24:46And you're kind of the best in town.
01:24:51I accept.
01:24:52And, uh, I'm still looking for a girlfriend.
01:25:00Mom, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:25:17I love you, Valentina.
01:25:19I mean, Ariel.
01:25:22That's gonna take some getting used to.
01:25:26There aren't any starry rooftop views here.
01:25:29But this is my special place.
01:25:33It's even better.
01:25:34It's even better.
