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.
00:01:46It's your call.
00:01:48The sooner you take that out of your mother's surgery.
00:02:00Anyway.
00:02:00Are you going to stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:02:19Of course.
00:02:20Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.
00:02:33You're so...
00:02:35Rich?
00:02:36Sexy?
00:02:38Frankly, yes.
00:02:41Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:45Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:47And you are?
00:02:48Lane Ellington.
00:02:48I'm 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.
00:03:16I better bring three.
00:03:18Yeah, right, 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.
00:03:35What 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.
00:04:12You've got a little...
00:04:26Kurt?
00:04:27Kurt?
00:04:28What's my manager doing here?
00:04:31Blaine!
00:04:34My business center 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 my business center?
00:04:46Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:47Ah, classic.
00:04:49All right, well, you two have fun.
00:04:51I'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.
00:05:18Whoa.
00:05:18Welcome to my home.
00:05:23After you.
00:05:38Oh, my.
00:05:48You 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.
00:06:12How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:06:15Looking for something?
00:06:21Oh, um...
00:06:23Ah.
00:06:26I should have known that was your style.
00:06:30Oh, 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.
00:06:39Valentina?
00:06:46Patience, darling.
00:06:47I'm...
00:06:48Building the suspense.
00:06:50Ah, I see.
00:06:52Where could it be?
00:06:54Right.
00:06:54And...
00:06:55You 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...
00:07:21Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:07:24It looks exactly like...
00:07:25The one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:07:29It'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.
00:07:38Uh, 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...
00:07:57Most 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!
00:08:11Wait!
00:08:13Untie me!
00:08:19Ew.
00:08:20Really, Blaine?
00:08:22What?
00:08:23But...
00:08:24You 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.
00:09:11Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:09:13Right?
00:09:14You weren't 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.
00:09:40Hello?
00:09:41How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:43To perfection, Charity has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:50Won't be long until he flips 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.
00:10:07Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:10:09What'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.
00:10:36Here you go.
00:10:46Thanks.
00:10:53She's amazing.
00:10:57Are you playing hide-and-seek?
00:10:58Is that where you're late?
00:10:59Can I hide next?
00:11:00No, I was dropping my mom off at the hospital.
00:11:02Oh, 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.
00:11:25He'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,
00:11:51but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:11:55And since he is adjusting to this new role,
00:11:57I'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.
00:12:29Kurt 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,
00:13:03so 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.
00:14:02The doctor called.
00:14:14He says it's gotten worse.
00:14:16Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:14:17Hush.
00:14:18None of that talk, okay?
00:14:20Mom, eat before your food gets cold.
00:14:31I'll be right back.
00:14:32It'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.
00:14:50I'll make it to go.

00:44:08Now?
00:44:12Okay.
00:44:14I'll be there.
00:44:19Where are you going, darling?
00:44:24They need me to be on this call with China, so I have to leave.
00:44:28You have to leave right now, darling?
00:44:31Yeah.
00:44:32Now.
00:44:34I'm sorry.
00:44:35Pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:44:38Yeah.
00:44:42Martina was right about you.
00:44:44I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:46I should start sharing more with you.
00:45:16Did you get it?
00:45:18The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:45:21Excellent, darling. Excellent.
00:45:46Max, what are you doing here?
00:45:50What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:45:52Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?
00:45:56You wouldn't understand.
00:45:57Oh, I understand.
00:45:59You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:46:03No, I'm not. I...
00:46:05You know, I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.
00:46:11It's only the right thing to do.
00:46:15Please don't.
00:46:16You don't know what I'm doing.
00:46:17Oh, you lose your job?
00:46:19Your reputation?
00:46:21Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:46:25What do you want, Max?
00:46:26I just want a little, an arrangement.
00:46:31I'd rather not.
00:46:32Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:46:37Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:46:39Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.
00:46:43I want to destroy you.
00:46:46You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.
00:46:51If by tomorrow I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town,
00:46:57I'll do it for you.
00:47:09You seem extra happy today.
00:47:18I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole nother level last night.
00:47:22Wow, that's awesome, man.
00:47:24I'm so happy for you.
00:47:26Hi, Mr. Ellington.
00:47:27Hi, Kurt.
00:47:28Hi, Anna.
00:47:29Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:47:33Kurt?
00:47:34Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:47:39Hi, Ariel.
00:47:42You all right?
00:47:43Yeah, I'm all right.
00:47:45Um, I actually had an idea about the Cherry Bowl.
00:47:50Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:47:55I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:59Where?
00:48:00I was thinking your house.
00:48:02Uh, I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:48:11Well, if we hosted ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:48:17And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:48:20Yeah, that makes sense.
00:48:23Okay, let's do it.
00:48:25Great.
00:48:26I'll send out the invitations.
00:48:27She really knows his company, inside and out.
00:48:34What do you know about Ariel?
00:48:37What do you want to know?
00:48:52Here you go, Mom.
00:48:53I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:48:57I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:58That's okay.
00:48:59We can watch it next weekend.
00:49:02Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:49:06Mom, you are my friend.
00:49:08People your age, who you can be out dancing with, flirting with boys.
00:49:15I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:49:18What?
00:49:19What's he like?
00:49:20It's complicated.
00:49:22Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:49:26Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:49:36Sweetie, I'm fine.
00:49:39I just need some rest.
00:49:40Okay.
00:49:43Come on.
00:49:50And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.
00:50:04I'm dreading giving this speech.
00:50:07I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:50:10I always thought that was a little pervy, but...
00:50:13I promise, you're going to be amazing.
00:50:18Thank you so much for helping with this.
00:50:22This charity ball idea was genius.
00:50:25I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:50:28I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:50:29Well, I should get going.
00:50:35Wait, um...
00:50:37I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:50:39Make sure the dress fits.
00:50:42I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:50:44All right.
00:50:45Good night.
00:50:46Good night.
00:50:46Hello, darling.
00:51:00I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:51:04It's perfect.
00:51:05I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:51:08I can't wait either, darling.
00:51:10Good night.
00:51:11Good night.
00:51:11Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:51:35Thanks, Kurt.
00:51:36You're looking sharp.
00:51:38Oh, yeah.
00:51:39Well, got to dress to impress.
00:51:40No.
00:51:42Are you trying to impress anyone?
00:51:45Nah.
00:51:46Listen, random.
00:51:49Does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:51:52I don't think so.
00:51:54Do you like her?
00:51:56No.
00:51:57No, no, no, no.
00:51:59No, I'm just trying to make friendly conversation.
00:52:03Yeah.
00:52:05We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:52:07Oh, you're still here.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:14Listen, if someone were to ask Hannah to dance, what do you think the chances are that she would
00:52:22say yes?
00:52:24Probably good.
00:52:26Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:52:29No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:52:31No, I'm just a fan of wild hypothetical scenarios.
00:52:37I guess that one just sprung to mind.
00:52:40Mm-hmm.
00:52:41Okay.
00:52:43Yeah.
00:52:44Um, well, I'm going to go help Blaine practice his speech.
00:52:53So, I'm going to do that right now.
00:52:56I will see you later.
00:52:58All right.
00:52:58See ya.
00:53:01And you must be Ariel.
00:53:06Yes, hi.
00:53:09Hmm.
00:53:10You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:53:14He has?
00:53:14Oh, yes, yes.
00:53:15In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:53:21I suppose so.
00:53:23Wonderful.
00:53:25Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:53:30Wow.
00:53:31That's such an honor.
00:53:33I heard he was a great man.
00:53:35He was a great man.
00:53:38Martina.
00:53:38Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:53:43Yes, briefly.
00:53:44She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.
00:53:47Yes, yes, she has.
00:53:49In fact, I can, uh, I can see her playing a bigger role than Ellington if she keeps it up.
00:53:55Why wait?
00:53:56She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:59Really?
00:54:00I think so.
00:54:01Don't you, Ariel?
00:54:03Uh, mm-hmm.
00:54:06Amazing.
00:54:07Well.
00:54:09I can't wait.
00:54:14Me either.
00:54:14I can't wait.
00:54:15I can't wait.
00:54:15Me either.
00:54:15Me either.
00:54:16I can't wait.
00:54:25I don't know.
00:54:25I can't wait.
00:54:25I can't wait.
00:54:26I can't wait.
00:54:27Yeah.
00:54:27I can't wait.
00:54:27Let's go.
00:54:57Here I am.
00:54:59Have you seen Valentina?
00:55:02No, I don't think so.
00:55:04About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:55:07Um, no. No, I don't think so.
00:55:11In fact...
00:55:12What?
00:55:14Nothing. It's ridiculous.
00:55:16I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me, that would be great.
00:55:22I'll get right on that.
00:55:24Bye.
00:55:27Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.
00:55:37Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:55:39Okay.
00:55:41You can do this.
00:55:42Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:55:48Uh, you must be mistaken, love. I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:55:53Yeah, okay. Ariel.
00:55:58No, seriously. My name is Valentina Kingsley and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:56:04Oh, I get it. It's like one of those improv games or something.
00:56:09No, no, no. No game. My name is...
00:56:12Who the hell should I be?
00:56:14Just be yourself.
00:56:16I'm the Queen of England.
00:56:20You can really tell it's me?
00:56:22Well, yeah.
00:56:23Yeah, but, I mean, I can be very observant.
00:56:27Really?
00:56:28Mm-hmm.
00:56:29Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:56:33Okay. Can 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.
00:56:43Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:56:44Yeah, sure.
00:56:47Aw.
00:56:48Well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:56:54Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna need it.
00:56:57Yeah.
00:57:14Ah, there you are, darling.
00:57:20Ah, Valentina. I'm so glad to see you.
00:57:23Look at this place.
00:57:24I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:57:28I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:57:30Of course.
00:57:31You're doing a speech, I see.
00:57:33Oh, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:57:36They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:57:39You make me feel so confident.
00:57:40I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:57:50Of course.
00:57:52Okay, perfect.
00:57:54Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside. I must go speak with her.
00:57:58Uh, Valentina, I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:58:07Yes. I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:58:11Great.
00:58:12Where would this be taking place? In the study, or...?
00:58:16Upstairs. Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:58:20Ah, I see.
00:58:21You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:58:29What the heck did I say?
00:58:31I'll give you hints.
00:58:33If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:58:39I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:58:43Good luck, darling.
00:58:44See you.
00:58:45See you.
00:59:08Excuse me.
00:59:09What are you doing in here?
00:59:15Excuse me.
00:59:17What are you doing in here?
00:59:19Um...
00:59:20And who are you?
00:59:22Oh, um...
00:59:23Uh...
00:59:24Um, I...
00:59:26I, um...
00:59:27You look lost.
00:59:30I am, darling.
00:59:32I am lost.
00:59:33I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:59:37Grandfather.
00:59:39Yes?
00:59:40This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:59:45Oh, yes, yes.
00:59:46From the, uh, front page of the Times.
00:59:49Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:59:51Hope it was all good things.
00:59:53Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.
01:00:00And I trust that Blaine is, uh, treating you respectfully, like a lady.
01:00:06She is.
01:00:08Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.
01:00:10If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.
01:00:16Right.
01:00:17Good thing.
01:00:19Shall we return to the party?
01:00:22Yes, we shall.
01:00:24Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
01:00:26You too, sir.
01:00:27You seem quiet.
01:00:51Is everything right?
01:00:52Everything's fine, darling.
01:00:53Hey, Valentina.
01:00:56I have a girl question for you.
01:01:02Oh, my God, for the love I've got.
01:01:04You clearly have a crush on Hannah.
01:01:06Just ask her to dance.
01:01:08You just met me, you can already tell.
01:01:10Yes.
01:01:12You read me like a book.
01:01:14I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:01:16You're really inquisitive.
01:01:17In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:01:20Would you?
01:01:21That would be great.
01:01:24Dude.
01:01:28Hannah, I need a favor.
01:01:30Anything.
01:01:31When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
01:01:34If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
01:01:37And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.
01:01:41Got it.
01:01:42Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:01:47Really?
01:01:48Sorry.

01:09:00Valentina.
01:09:20Hi, darling.
01:09:21There you are.
01:09:23How are you feeling?
01:09:25Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:09:28Excellent.
01:09:29Care to dance?
01:09:30Certainly.
01:09:34Well, well, well, well.
01:09:39Look at the happy couple.
01:09:46How did you get in?
01:09:47Oh, I have my ways.
01:09:48We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:09:52Anyway, I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:10:00You need to leave.
01:10:01Actually, I don't think I do.
01:10:03Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.

01:10:09No, no, no.
01:10:10There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:10:14What?

01:16:08das
01:16:10oh
01:16:11It's time to celebrate.
01:16:29To the future, darling.
01:16:31Drink. You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:16:45There it is. Doesn'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 it too much longer, since my programmer is going to pick it 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.
01:17:14I guess.
01:17:15Ask any CEO, and they'll agree, including your little boy toy.
01:17:22Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:17:23Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:17:31What?
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, you haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:17:44No, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:17:50Darling!
01:17:50Darling!
01:17:53All right.
01:18:17One more drink, and we'll start packing up my things.
01:18:19Deal, one more.
01:18:28Anna!
01:18:28Hi, Mr. Ellington.
01:18:29May I come in?
01:18:30Sure, come 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, I have a delivery for you.
01:18:45From who?
01:18:46Ariel.
01:18:46Ariel.
01:18:46Ariel.
01:18:47Ariel.
01:18:49I 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.
01:19:02How 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, so it must be a big deal.
01:19:11Oh.
01:19:11Oh.
01:19:11Oh, my God.
01:19:28Oh, my God.
01:19:29Ew!
01:19:29What's happening?
01:19:31What's going on?
01:19:32What does this mean?
01:19:33Oh, Flora?
01:19:52Yes, darling.
01:19:53Uh, your 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.
01:20:27You'll get over it, darling.
01:20:29Oh, what's going on?
01:20:45What does this mean?
01:20:51Thank you for everything.
01:20:53Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh, that one, the thing?
01:21:01Yes, yes, let's, uh, let's do that.
01:21:09Can 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.
01:21:31But it's time.
01:21:38To celebrate.
01:21:44You are going to regret this.
01:21:46I promise you that.
01:21:50Jeez, what 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.
01:22:01See, I knew you could do it.
01:22:03I knew it.
01:22:05You know.
01:22:08Your dad would be so proud of you.
01:22:09Dr. Westfall.
01:22:22Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:22:23Is surgery over?
01:22:24How did it go?
01:22:24Yes, we just finished.
01:22:26Um, there were complications.
01:22:28Complications?
01:22:28Yes, but we were able to work through them, and 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.
01:22:39She's going to need to rest for a few hours, but when she wakes up, she's going to feel better than she has in a long time.
01:22:45I can't thank you enough.
01:22:46I'm happy to help.
01:22:47I'm happy to help.
01:23:03Come in, come in!
01:23:29Welcome!
01:23:33Ariel!
01:23:35Mom, why didn't you leave out of bed?
01:23:39The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:23:41I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window and I got kind of excited.
01:23:47Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:23:50No, thank you, but thank you.
01:23:52Oh, thank you.
01:23:53Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:23:56Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:23:59Oh, of course.
01:24:03I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:24:07I'm so, so sorry.
01:24:17I understand why you did it.
01:24:23And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:24:27Thank you for everything.
01:24:31I don't even know where to start.
01:24:35I'm not looking for an apology.
01:24:38You're not?
01:24:39No.
01:24:40See, I'm still CEO and I need an assistant.
01:24:45And you're kind of the best in town.
01:24:50I accept.
01:24:52And, uh, I'm still looking for a girlfriend.
01:24:57Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:25:05I love you, Valentina.
01:25:19I mean, Ariel.
01:25:22That's gonna take some good gifts, too.
01:25:26There aren't any starry rooftop views here.
01:25:29But this is my special place.
01:25:32It's even better.
01:25:34It's even better.
