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

01:09:16Balancina!
01:09:17Hi darling!
01:09:18There you are.
01:09:20How are you feeling?
01:09:21Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:09:24Excellent.
01:09:25Care to dance?
01:09:27Certainly.
01:09:31Well, well, well, well.
01:09:36Look at the happy couple.
01:09:43How did you get in?
01:09:44Oh, I have my ways.
01:09:45We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:09:49Anyway...
01:09:51I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:09:57You need to leave.
01:09:58Actually, I don't think I do.
01:10:00Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:10:04She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:10:05No, no, no.
01:10:06There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:10:11What?
01:10:12If only your little assistant had assisted you in researching her.
01:10:17You know, it's funny.
01:10:18I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:10:23Blaine, don't listen to him.
01:10:24What is he talking about?
01:10:27Yes, she may have fooled everyone in here.
01:10:31But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:10:35What?
01:10:47Ariel?
01:10:48This whole time, you've been Valentina?
01:11:03That's right.
01:11:05This whole time, you pretended to care about me.
01:11:09But you're just a liar.
01:11:11And worse.
01:11:13She's poor.
01:11:15Why?
01:11:16Yes, Ariel.
01:11:18But why?
01:11:20I'm so sorry.
01:11:22Ariel.
01:11:23Ariel, wait.
01:11:25How embarrassing.
01:11:29You know, I looked into you.
01:11:32You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here.
01:11:38How preposterous.
01:11:39If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:11:43Ew.
01:11:44You're poor?
01:11:45You're poor?
01:11:48Regina!
01:11:51Oh.
01:11:53You're my hero.
01:11:55Thanks.
01:11:56Sometimes I got to tell him.
01:11:57You know.
01:11:58Ariel!
01:11:59What are you smiling about?
01:12:01Ariel!
01:12:02What are you smiling about?
01:12:03I mean, come on.
01:12:04This proves it, right?
01:12:05He's a joke.
01:12:06No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:12:07He's a liability, Richard.
01:12:08And you are giving him the company with the luxury of not having to deal with this shit show because you won't be alive much longer.
01:12:21Oh, well, don't bet on that.
01:12:22You know, you got a lot of nerve talking to me like this kid.
01:12:23You got a lot of nerve letting this ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:12:26I should be running this company.
01:12:27I should be running this company.
01:12:28Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:29Look, I'm not sure.
01:12:30I don't want to hear it.
01:12:31I do not want to hear it.
01:12:32I promise you.
01:12:33You lied to me not only.
01:12:34I'm not sure.
01:12:35You made a lot of nerve.
01:12:36No, I'm sure you'll be right away.
01:12:38Because you won't be alive much longer.
01:12:39Well, I don't do that.
01:12:40You won't be alive much longer.
01:12:41Oh, well, don't bet on that.
01:12:42You know, you got a lot of nerve talking to me like this kid.
01:12:43You got a lot of nerve letting this ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:12:44I should be running this company.
01:12:46Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:48Look, I'm not worried.
01:12:49I don't want to hear it.
01:12:52I do not want to hear it.
01:12:57I promise you.
01:12:58You lied to me. Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me.
01:13:01No, I didn't. That is fair.
01:13:09Regina!
01:13:28That was a disaster.
01:13:37I just don't understand.
01:13:40Why would she go through all that?
01:13:42I don't know.
01:13:44But, uh, these scandals are exhausting.
01:13:48Yeah.
01:13:49I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:13:55Right.
01:13:55I got a lot to think about.
01:14:00What do you mean?
01:14:02I mean, we may have to take the company in a complete different direction for her to gain back the public's trust.
01:14:09You can't be serious.
01:14:11Huh?
01:14:16Something better happen sooner.
01:14:18I guess much worse.
01:14:21Did she want anything from you?
01:14:23I don't know, Martina.
01:14:26Nothing valuable?
01:14:27Martina, I said I don't...
01:14:28I didn't...
01:14:30I said I don't...
01:14:31I said I don't...
01:14:32No!
01:14:40No!
01:14:40No!

01:16:31Drink! You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:16:41There it is. Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:16:48People walk in and out of my office, having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:16:54Of course, I won't be able to enjoy it too much longer, since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:17:00I guess I just feel bad.
01:17:03To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things. Break the rules a little.
01:17:11I guess.
01:17:12Ask any CEO and they'll agree, including your little boy toy.
01:17:19Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:17:21Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:17:27What?
01:17:28All I need is your wiring info and I can send it on over.
01:17:32I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed?
01:17:37I'm sorry.
01:17:38You haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:17:41No.
01:17:42Well, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:17:47Darlene.

01:18:18Deal, one more.
01:18:25Anna.
01:18:26Hi, Mr. Wellington. May I come in?
01:18:27Sure, come on in.
01:18:29Hi, cutie.
01:18:34Care for a drink?
01:18:35Oh, no. I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:18:38Wait, what was that?
01:18:39Mr. Wellington, I have a delivery for you.
01:18:42From who?
01:18:43Ariel.
01:18:49From who?
01:18:50Ariel.
01:18:52I don't want it. Take it back.
01:18:53She said you might say that, but she said that it was very, very important.
01:18:59How important?
01:19:01I 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.
01:19:08Oh.
01:19:09Oh, my God.
01:19:25Oh, my God.
01:19:26Ew, what's happening?
01:19:28What's going on?
01:19:29What does this mean?
01:19:30Oh, Flora?
01:19:49Yes, darling.
01:19:50Your appointment had to leave early.
01:19:52I asked if they wanted to schedule, but they said no.
01:19:55I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:19:58What was the name?
01:20:02Valentina Kingsley?
01:20:03You're rich.
01:20:24You'll get over it, darling.
01:20:26Oh, what's going on?
01:20:42What does this mean?
01:20:48Thank you for everything.
01:20:50Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh, that one, the thing?
01:20:59Yes, yes.
01:20:59Let's, uh, let's do that.
01:21:06Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:21:08Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this, but it's time.
01:21:29But it's time.
01:21:35To celebrate.
01:21:37You are going to regret this.
01:21:43I promise you that.
01:21:49Jeez.
01:21:50What did you do?
01:21:51I don't know, girl.
01:21:52But the way she wears that dress, she can step on me any day.
01:21:58Let me see.
01:21:59I knew you could do it.
01:22:00I knew it.
01:22:02You know, your dad would be so proud of you.
01:22:07Dr. Westphal.
01:22:19Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:22:20Is surgery over?
01:22:21How did it go?
01:22:21Yes, we just finished.
01:22:23Um, there were complications.
01:22:25Complications?
01:22:26Yes, but we were able to work through them, and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:22:31Really?
01:22:32Yeah, really, yes.
01:22:33In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:22:36She'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.
01:22:42I can't thank you enough.
01:22:43I'm happy to help.
01:22:46Thank you very much.
01:23:13Come in, come in.
01:23:28Welcome.
01:23:33Ariel.
01:23:35Mom, why didn't you leave me out of bed?
01:23:37The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:23:39I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window
01:23:42and I got kind of excited.
01:23:46Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:23:49No, thank you, but thank you.
01:23:50Oh, thank you.
01:23:52Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:23:54Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:23:57Oh, of course.
01:24:01I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:24:12I'm so, so sorry.
01:24:15I, uh, I understand why you did it.
01:24:20And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:24:25Thank you for everything.
01:24:27I don't even know where to start.
01:24:30I'm not looking for an apology.
01:24:36You're not?
01:24:37No.
01:24:39See, I'm still CEO and I need an assistant.
01:24:43And you're kind of the best in town.
01:24:48I accept.
01:24:49And, uh, you're still looking for a girlfriend.
01:24:57Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:25:02I love you, Valentina.
01:25:17I mean, Ariel.
01:25:19That's gonna take some getting used to.
01:25:23There aren't any starry rooftop views here.
01:25:26But this is my special place.
