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.
00:01:46I don't know.
00:01:47It's your call.
00:01:56It's your call.
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? Sexy?
00:02:38Frankly, yes.
00:02:41Sorry, what was her name?
00:02:45Valentina Kingsley. And you are?
00:02:47Lane Ellington, CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:52Hmm. And this is a successful company? It'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.
00:03:09Uh, it's $60,000 per bottle, sir. You want two?
00:03:13Actually, I'm pretty thirsty. Better bring three.
00:03:19Yeah, right, yes, of course, right away, sir.
00:03:25And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:03:29I invest.
00:03:31In what?
00:03:32In 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.
00:04:04Doesn't surprise me.
00:04:06I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:04:12Um, you've got a little, uh...
00:04:26Kurt?
00:04:27Kurt?
00:04:28What's my manager doing here?
00:04:31Blaine!
00:04:34My 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.
00:04:47Uh-huh.
00:04:48Classic.
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.
00:05:11I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:05:17I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:05:18Whoa.
00:05:20Welcome to my home.
00:05:23After you.
00:05:23Oh, my.
00:05:50You like what you see?
00:05:51You'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?
00:06:19Looking 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.
00:06:44Valentina?
00:06:44Patience, 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?
00:06:58Oh, yes.
00:06:58It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:07:05How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:07:07That's...
00:07:09That's new.
00:07:13That's new.
00:07:16The painting.
00:07:17Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:07:19Oh, uh...
00:07:20Sorry.
00:07:22This 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.
00:07:37Oh, 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 you and your models.
00:08:26Last 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, they're 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,
00:08:47these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:50It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with
00:08:52and running the company.
00:08:53Grandfather.
00:08:59Listen to him.
00:09:00He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:09:02I am much more qualified.
00:09:03You know...
00:09:04I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:09:09No, no, no, no.
00:09:11Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:09:13Right?
00:09:14Yeah, you...
00:09:15You were meant to be some CEO.
00:09:17No, but Blaine...
00:09:18Blaine, Blaine will learn in 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.
00:09:33Hello?
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,
00:09:52and 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,
00:10:02it'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.
00:10:22What's he doing here?
00:10:24Speaking of girls,
00:10:25I 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.
00:10:45Thanks.
00:10:46Are 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.
00:11:11Hey, 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.
00:11:36I 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.
00:11:47I will try my best to live up to my father, but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:11:54And 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.
00:12:13You 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.
00:12:45First thing I need help with is there's this file.
00:12:48Oh, I've got to 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.
00:13:13New number, huh?
00:13:18Hello?
00:13:19Hello, Ariel.
00:13:20This is Dr. Westphal.
00:13:21We just got your mother's results.
00:13:23It's not what we hoped, so we need to move quickly if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:13:34Okay, I understand.
00:13:36I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:13:49Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:51Honey, I 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.
00:14:15He says it's gotten worse.
00:14:16Shh, shh, 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.
00:15:02Oh, where am I?
00:15:13Valentina!
00:15:14Blaine!
00:15:16Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:15:19Do you intend to have me killed?
00:15:21No, not at all.
00:15:22This place is special.
00:15:24Follow me.
00:15:25How many more, uh...
00:15:39Almost there.
00:15:40Come on.
00:15:40Come on.
00:15:40Wow.
00:15:56Wow.
00:15:56Wow.
00:15:56Did you look at that view?
00:16:09I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:16:11Just you, actually.
00:16:12I discovered this place after my father died.
00:16:18Your family, darling?
00:16:20Yeah.
00:16:21I've been thrown into the CEO position,
00:16:24and, uh...
00:16:25I'm a bit in over my head,
00:16:27so...
00:16:28I never really get a chance to myself,
00:16:30except when I come here.
00:16:31I'm so sorry.
00:16:41My mom is sick.
00:16:46She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:52So I know it feels to...
00:16:54Want to get away?
00:16:56Yeah.
00:16:59I'm used to getting everything
00:17:00but this is one thing
00:17:03that money can't buy.
00:17:06So sorry about your mom.
00:17:08Thanks.
00:17:12She's all I've got.
00:17:14I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:17:25Hey!
00:17:26Who's out here?
00:17:30What's happening?
00:17:33Technically,
00:17:33we're not supposed to be up here.
00:17:34What?
00:17:35Ron.
00:17:44Hey!
00:17:47No!
00:17:53What was that?
00:17:54That was fun.
00:17:55Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates
00:17:57that adventurous?
00:17:58No.
00:17:59I suppose not.
00:18:02I haven't felt this way
00:18:04in a really long time.
00:18:07I feel like
00:18:08I can be myself around you.
00:18:11You feel the same way?
00:18:13Will you be my girlfriend, Valentina?
00:18:15That's right.
00:18:16I'm supposed to be Valentina.
00:18:18I can't do this to him.
00:18:23But I need to pay
00:18:24for my mom's surgery.
00:18:27I'd love to.
00:18:32Well, well, well.
00:18:35Martina,
00:18:36what are you doing here?
00:18:37Hmm.
00:18:37I heard you were actually
00:18:40acting like a big boy CEO.
00:18:42Had to see it for myself.
00:18:44Well,
00:18:45that blind date
00:18:46went so well
00:18:47the other night
00:18:47it got me thinking
00:18:48maybe grandfather was right.
00:18:50Is that so?
00:18:52Blaine's got himself
00:18:53a little girlfriend?
00:18:54That's right.
00:18:55Wow.
00:18:56What's she like?
00:18:58She's funny,
00:18:59mysterious,
00:19:00confident,
00:19:01hardworking,
00:19:03charitable.
00:19:04She's the whole package.
00:19:05Hmm.
00:19:06Sounds like one
00:19:07that dad actually
00:19:08would have approved of.
00:19:09I'd love to meet her.
00:19:12Oh, sorry,
00:19:13Mr. Ellington.
00:19:14Is this about time?
00:19:15No, not at all.
00:19:16My sister just
00:19:17came to visit.
00:19:18Martina,

00:19:31after you lost the keys
00:19:32to the Maserati,
00:19:33I'm not so sure
00:19:33that you won't lose
00:19:34this new AI tech
00:19:35that we need.
00:19:36I didn't lose
00:19:36the keys to the Maserati
00:19:38and don't you worry,
00:19:39I've got the codes
00:19:40right here

00:19:42and I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:57Glad to hear
00:19:58you're doing that.
00:19:59I have wasted
00:19:59enough time.
00:20:03Now you know
00:20:03exactly where it is.
00:20:05Get it.
00:20:14All right,
00:20:15where's that drive?
00:20:16Are you kidding?
00:20:23There's nothing in here.
00:20:24There's nothing in here.
00:20:24They're coming in.
00:20:32There's nothing in here.
00:20:37They're coming in.
00:20:39Crap!
00:20:40How about we celebrate
00:20:41your China contract
00:20:42with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:20:44If you don't toast my arm.
00:20:46If you don't toast my arm.
00:20:47No, no, no, no.
00:20:56Oh, yeah.
00:21:01Sarah?
00:21:01Cheers.
00:21:02Don't you guys have
00:21:02a meeting with China
00:21:03right now?
00:21:04Right.
00:21:08Right, right.
00:21:08After that.
00:21:10Yeah.
00:21:18Whew.
00:21:19That was close.
00:21:25Hey, girlfriend.
00:21:27Can I ask you
00:21:27your advice on something?
00:21:28Sure.
00:21:29What's going on?
00:21:30So I have this friend
00:21:31who is having
00:21:32boy problems.
00:21:34Aren't we all?
00:21:35So she has a crush
00:21:36on her boss
00:21:36and she doesn't know
00:21:38what to do about it
00:21:39because of the whole
00:21:39workplace relationship thing.
00:21:41How did she find out
00:21:41I like Blaine?
00:21:43Wait, I don't like Blaine.
00:21:45But he deserves
00:21:45to know though, right?
00:21:47You're going to tell him?
00:21:48I mean, I don't know
00:21:49because what if I tell Kurt
00:21:50I like him
00:21:51and he doesn't like me
00:21:52and then it's so totally awkward
00:21:53and so he fires me
00:21:54because it's so totally awkward.
00:21:56Wait, you like Kurt?
00:21:59I gotta go.

00:22:01Oh, I'm getting a cacau.
00:22:03Ring, ring.
00:22:06Ring, ring.
00:22:07Ring, ring.
00:22:11Ariel.
00:22:12Yes, Mr. Ellington?
00:22:14I need your personal help.
00:22:16Well, I am
00:22:16your personal assistant.
00:22:18I've never gotten
00:22:29a girl a gift.
00:22:30Wow, really?
00:22:31Um, I mean,
00:22:33yeah.
00:22:34First girlfriend,
00:22:35first gift.
00:22:36Checks out.
00:22:37So,
00:22:38I need your help
00:22:39to figure out
00:22:40which you think
00:22:41a woman would prefer.
00:22:42Oh, my God,
00:22:54I'm going to be wearing that.
00:22:56Sorry.
00:22:58Uh,
00:22:58your girlfriend's
00:22:59going to be wearing that?
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:02It's pretty nice, right?
00:23:03Well,
00:23:04I mean,
00:23:04it's option one.
00:23:06You think she'll like it?
00:23:08Um,
00:23:09well,
00:23:10what's your girlfriend like?
00:23:12What are her
00:23:13tastes?
00:23:15Um,
00:23:16sophisticated,
00:23:18generous,
00:23:19gorgeous.
00:23:20The whole world
00:23:21slows down
00:23:22whenever she walks
00:23:22into a room.
00:23:23I see.
00:23:28So,
00:23:29keep that in mind.
00:23:31Option two.
00:23:36And that's even more
00:23:37revealing than the first one.
00:23:39Yeah.
00:23:40This is big in Europe.
00:23:41Between you and me,
00:23:42I'm rooting for this guy.
00:23:44Mm-hmm.
00:23:45I see.
00:23:46Do you have anything
00:23:47more
00:23:48modest?
00:23:51Hmm.
00:23:51Modest?
00:23:52Yeah.
00:23:53That
00:23:53seems to be the style
00:23:55I've been seeing
00:23:56these days.
00:23:57With the rich folk.
00:23:59At least.
00:24:00You know,
00:24:01now that you say it,
00:24:02I think I do have something.
00:24:09Aha.
00:24:12What do you think?
00:24:15I think she'd really like that.
00:24:21Ah.
00:24:22Can I have a margarita?
00:24:26You can't be serious,
00:24:27darling.
00:24:29She'll have a friend
00:24:3075 with Konya.
00:24:32Flora,
00:24:32what are you doing here?
00:24:33Making sure you look the part.
00:24:36You want to make the money
00:24:37for your dear mother,
00:24:38don't you?
00:24:39Yes,
00:24:39more than anything.
00:24:40Then you need to keep
00:24:41your eyes
00:24:42on the prize.
00:24:44We need to get our hands
00:24:45on that code fast.
00:24:46Once I do,
00:24:47I can fund
00:24:48your mother's surgery,
00:24:49but until then,
00:24:50we're in this
00:24:51together.
00:24:52Yes?
00:24:54Yeah.
00:24:56Excellent.
00:24:57Now,
00:24:58what's your game plan?
00:24:59Make him
00:25:00even more vulnerable
00:25:01and get him
00:25:02to tell me
00:25:03where the code is.
00:25:04And how do you
00:25:05suppose you'll do that?
00:25:06Um,
00:25:08be nice.
00:25:10Your ignorance
00:25:14is both cute
00:25:15and annoying.
00:25:17No.
00:25:19A man like
00:25:20Blaine Ellington
00:25:21is going to become
00:25:22vulnerable
00:25:22from two things.
00:25:24Drinking with him
00:25:25and going to bed
00:25:27with him.
00:25:29Right.
00:25:31I can do that.
00:25:33I hope so,
00:25:34because he's
00:25:35coming this way.
00:25:38Get the code
00:25:39soon, honey.
00:25:40for your mother.
00:25:43Okay?
00:25:45Oh!
00:25:47And, darling,
00:25:48have fun.
00:25:52Okay.
00:25:54Valentina.
00:25:57How are you?
00:25:58Wonderful, love.
00:26:00I've been looking
00:26:01forward to this
00:26:01all day.
00:26:02Is that so?
00:26:03Indeed.
00:26:05I was
00:26:06so distracted.
00:26:07It affected
00:26:08my croquet score.
00:26:09Oh, no.
00:26:10Distracted
00:26:11over little old me.
00:26:12Yes.
00:26:13I simply
00:26:14must know
00:26:15everything about you.
00:26:16Well,
00:26:17what would you like
00:26:17to know?
00:26:19Everything.
00:26:21Well,
00:26:21I don't know
00:26:21about everything.
00:26:23It might take
00:26:24some time
00:26:24for me to open up.
00:26:25Well,
00:26:26maybe after
00:26:27a few drinks.
00:26:29Only if you
00:26:30can keep up.
00:26:31See,
00:26:31I don't really
00:26:32start talking
00:26:33until after
00:26:33a lot of drinking.
00:26:35Oh, no.
00:26:37Well,
00:26:37here goes
00:26:38nothing.
00:26:38You know,
00:26:59my sister
00:27:00is implying
00:27:01today that I
00:27:02should tell
00:27:03someone where
00:27:03my new AI code
00:27:05is because
00:27:05I forget
00:27:06stuff.
00:27:08Are you
00:27:10forgetful?
00:27:11I mean,
00:27:12yeah.
00:27:14Can you
00:27:14actually believe
00:27:15I lost the
00:27:16keys to a
00:27:16Maserati?
00:27:18Really?
00:27:18Yeah.
00:27:20It cost me
00:27:21$10,000
00:27:22just to get
00:27:23them re-keyed.
00:27:24Which is why
00:27:25I should probably
00:27:27tell someone
00:27:28in case
00:27:29I do forget.
00:27:31So,
00:27:32maybe I should
00:27:32tell you
00:27:33because you're
00:27:33so awesome
00:27:34and trustworthy.
00:27:36Well,
00:27:37if you'd like,
00:27:38go ahead.
00:27:39I'll tell you.
00:27:40But first,
00:27:43I'm going to
00:27:46hit the men's
00:27:47room.
00:27:47This is it.
00:27:53All I need
00:27:53to do is
00:27:54ask him
00:27:55where the
00:27:55code is
00:27:55and my
00:27:56mission is
00:27:56over.

00:30:13Are you
00:30:14okay?
00:30:15Yeah,
00:30:16I think so.
00:30:17We're getting
00:30:17it out of here.
00:30:19No,
00:30:19this isn't
00:30:19good.
00:30:19care to explain
00:30:29this?
00:30:30I assume
00:30:30the article
00:30:31does a good
00:30:32job.
00:30:33Getting into
00:30:34a physical
00:30:35altercation
00:30:36in a bar?
00:30:37What are you,
00:30:40a child?
00:30:40I'm not
00:30:41a child,
00:30:42I'm not a child,
00:30:42but he
00:30:42started it.
00:30:43I don't care
00:30:44who started
00:30:45it.
00:30:46Ellington
00:30:46is a company
00:30:47based in
00:30:49family values.
00:30:51I was out
00:30:51with my
00:30:52girlfriend
00:30:52trying to
00:30:53uphold those
00:30:54family values.
00:30:54Don't play
00:30:56the girlfriend
00:30:56card,
00:30:57okay?
00:30:57The onus
00:30:58is you
00:30:58on this,
00:30:59pal.
00:31:01Maybe your
00:31:02sister was
00:31:03right.
00:31:04Maybe you're
00:31:04too much of
00:31:05a risk,
00:31:05even though
00:31:06you say
00:31:06you've settled
00:31:06down.
00:31:08Either way,
00:31:10I just hope
00:31:10all this boils
00:31:11over next time
00:31:11we talk.
00:31:14What would
00:31:14your father
00:31:15think?
00:31:24A naisy
00:31:33lies the
00:31:34head that

00:31:34crown.
00:31:36What is
00:31:36that?
00:31:37Some family
00:31:38motto I'm

00:31:52different?
00:31:53She's
00:31:53not a
00:31:54bimbo.
00:31:54Then don't
00:31:57treat her

00:31:59Treat her
00:31:59like dad
00:32:01treated mom.

00:35:44doesn't think
00:35:44that that's
00:35:45my kind of lifestyle.
00:35:48You should just

00:35:49and be honest.
00:35:51Yeah.

00:36:44feeling?
00:36:45A little banged up,
00:36:46but I've been
00:36:47worse.
00:36:48You should have
00:36:49been with me
00:36:49in my partying
00:36:50days in Ibiza.
00:36:51I was an
00:36:52absolute heathen.
00:36:53Well, I'm glad
00:37:00to hear you're
00:37:01feeling all right.
00:37:02Uh,
00:37:03I was worried.
00:37:06No need, darling.
00:37:08I'm actually
00:37:09at the spa
00:37:09right now.
00:37:10Oh, I wanted
00:37:12to know if, uh,
00:37:14I get to see you
00:37:15again.
00:37:16You will.
00:37:17Very soon.
00:37:24Uh, sorry.
00:37:27Can I help you?
00:37:29I couldn't hear you.
00:37:30It kind of
00:37:30sounded like...
00:37:31Uh, sorry,
00:37:33Eduardo is calling
00:37:34me for my
00:37:35hot stone massage.
00:37:37Must be going.
00:37:39Okay, uh,
00:37:40sure.
00:37:40See you.
00:37:41Ta-ta!
00:37:48Community theater.
00:37:50Hmm.
00:37:51Character
00:37:52from rehearsing.
00:37:55We're a mystery.
00:37:58I'll, uh,
00:37:59send you the dates.
00:38:00I'm not in the theater.
00:38:04That's fair.
00:38:10Mom, I'm home.
00:38:21Hi, honey.
00:38:22How was your day?
00:38:25It was
00:38:26not boring.
00:38:29How was yours?
00:38:31It was wonderful.
00:38:32I did laundry,
00:38:34I did laundry,
00:38:34watched some soaps.
00:38:37Um, what are you
00:38:38cooking?
00:38:39I told you I was
00:38:40gonna cook tonight.
00:38:41Well, you weren't
00:38:42home yet, and I wanted
00:38:42to go ahead and get
00:38:43started so your
00:38:44coworker could have
00:38:45some, too.
00:38:46My coworker?
00:38:47Hello, darling.
00:38:49Hello, darling.
00:38:56Flora, what are you
00:38:58doing here?
00:39:00I was going to call you
00:39:01about a few work
00:39:02questions, but I was,
00:39:03uh, in the neighborhood
00:39:05and thought I'd drop in.
00:39:09Flora mentioned that
00:39:10you got a job promotion.
00:39:11You didn't say anything
00:39:12about a job promotion.
00:39:14I guess it slipped my mind.
00:39:18Well, you two don't mind me.
00:39:19Go ahead and have your
00:39:20work talk.
00:39:21Dinner will be ready soon.
00:39:22What are you doing here?
00:39:35Checking in to see what
00:39:36progress was made last
00:39:37night.
00:39:38I, um, I got close to
00:39:41finding out where he hit
00:39:41the drive, but I...
00:39:43But close doesn't pay the
00:39:45bills, does it?
00:39:46I'll get you the drive
00:39:47soon, I promise.
00:39:49Well, it sounds like the
00:39:50clock is ticking fast.
00:39:52You're not getting
00:39:54attached.
00:39:55What?
00:39:55No, of course not.
00:39:57Good.
00:39:58I was worried you were
00:39:59developing feelings for
00:40:01the man.
00:40:04Dinner's ready.
00:40:06Deeply sorry, darling.
00:40:08Urgent business.
00:40:09Must be taking off.
00:40:10Oh, um, okay.
00:40:11Well, it was nice
00:40:12meeting you.
00:40:13You too, darling.
00:40:19Tick tock.
00:40:22All right, I need ways to
00:40:34fix my image after that
00:40:36bar scandal.
00:40:37Any ideas?
00:40:39Inner rehab.
00:40:41Too tacky.
00:40:43Go volunteer in a third
00:40:44world country?
00:40:45Mm, too obvious.
00:40:47Record an apology video for
00:40:49social media and post it
00:40:50to cringe.
00:40:56Adopt an orphan.
00:40:58Now that is something.
00:40:59Ariel, how good are you at
00:41:00raising kids?
00:41:01Um, let's think of other
00:41:03options.
00:41:06What about a charity ball?
00:41:08Yes.
00:41:09That's it.
00:41:10That's the one.
00:41:11I like that.
00:41:12I like it a lot.
00:41:14Isn't she good?
00:41:15Phenomenal.
00:41:16Well, really, we wouldn't
00:41:18be here had I not appointed
00:41:19her as your assistant.
00:41:20So, really, this kind of
00:41:21all comes back to...
00:41:23Got it.
00:41:23Wait.
00:41:24What charity would it be
00:41:25for?
00:41:26How about unknown
00:41:28disorders and illnesses?
00:41:30I'd love that.
00:41:31Let's get it rolling.
00:41:32I'll start right away.
00:41:34Ariel, you've become an
00:41:37integral part of our company,
00:41:38and I want to have you
00:41:39seated at our VIP table.
00:41:41Oh, my gosh.
00:41:42I'm honored.
00:41:43Me, my family, Kurt, my
00:41:46girlfriend, Valentina, and
00:41:48you.
00:41:49Good job, Ariel.
00:41:55Let's see how it looks.
00:41:57Come on.
00:42:01It fits perfectly, darling.
00:42:05Wow.
00:42:06Stunning.
00:42:07Next, I'll have to get
00:42:12you a dress.
00:42:13A dress?
00:42:15What's the occasion?
00:42:17Well, I'm hosting this
00:42:19charity ball, and I would
00:42:21love for you to be my
00:42:23date.
00:42:23I love a good ball.
00:42:26But I must check my
00:42:28schedule, darling.
00:42:29Is this for that computer
00:42:31thingy you were talking
00:42:32about the other day?
00:42:32My new AI tech is going
00:42:36to revolutionize the world.
00:42:38Ah, yes.
00:42:40We got interrupted.
00:42:42You were going to tell me
00:42:42something important.
00:42:45What were you going to say?
00:42:48It's not really that
00:42:49necessary.
00:42:52You don't trust me?
00:42:53I do.
00:42:55This is my first major
00:42:56launch as Ellington CEO,
00:42:58and I just want it to go

00:43:10Wait.

00:43:17Mm-hmm.
00:43:18So, Blaine's going to tell
00:43:28me the super special secret?
00:43:32Mm-hmm.
00:43:35Where is it?
00:43:37It's here.
00:43:38In the mansion.
00:43:43It's here.
00:43:43Where in the mansion?
00:44:01It's...
00:44:01Yeah.

00:44:22darling?
00:44:24They need me to be on this
00:44:25call with China, so...

00:44:29You have to leave right
00:44:30now, darling?
00:44:31Yeah.
00:44:32Now.
00:44:33I'm sorry.
00:44:35Pick this back up again
00:44:37soon, huh?
00:44:38Yeah.

00:44:58my dad and my dad
00:44:59and I was about to
00:45:00you.
00:45:06I could start sharing

00:45:08how the world
00:45:08about you.
00:45:14Yeah.
00:45:14Did you get it?
00:45:18The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:45:21Excellent, darling.
00:45:23Excellent.
00:45:44Max, 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.
00:46:04You 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?
00:46:40Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.
00:46:42I 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,
00:46:56I'll do it for you.
00:47:14You seem extra happy today.
00:47:16I 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.
00:47:28Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:47:33Kurt?
00:47:34Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:47:40Hi, Ariel.
00:47:42You all right?
00:47:43Yeah, I'm all right.
00:47:46I actually had an idea about the Cherry Bowl.
00:47:50Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:47:54I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:59Where?
00:48:00I was thinking your house.
00:48:06I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:48:11Well, if we host it ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:48:17And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:48:20That makes sense.
00:48:22Okay, let's do it.
00:48:25Great.
00:48:26I'll send out the invitations.
00:48:31She really knows his company, inside and out.
00:48:34What do you know about Ariel?
00:48:37What do you want to know?
00:48:38Here you go, Mom.
00:48:54I'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.
00:49:07People your age, who you can be 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?
00:49:21It's complicated.
00:49:22Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:49:25Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:49:36Sweetie, I'm fine.
00:49:39I just need some rest.
00:49:40And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.
00:50:03I'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.
00:50:16You'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.
00:50:33Well, I should get going.
00:50:35Wait, um...
00:50:37I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:50:39Make sure the dress fits.
00:50:43I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:50:44All right.
00:50:45Good night.
00:50:59Hello, darling.
00:51:00I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:51:03It's perfect.
00:51:05I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:51:08I can't wait either, darling.
00:51:10Good night.
00:51:14Ariel, 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, you know?
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.
00:51:55Do you like her?
00:51:56No.
00:51:57No, no, no, no.
00:51:59No, I'm just trying to make
00:52:00friendly conversation.
00:52:03Yeah.
00:52:05We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:52:10Oh!
00:52:11You're still here.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:13Uh, listen.
00:52:16If someone were to ask Hannah to dance,
00:52:21what do you think the chances are that she would say yes?
00:52:25Probably good.
00:52:27Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:52:29No.
00:52:30No.
00:52:30No, no, no, no, no.
00:52:31No, I'm just, um,
00:52:32a fan of wild hypothetical scenarios.
00:52:37That one just sprung to mind.
00:52:40Mm-hmm.
00:52:41Okay.
00:52:43Yep.
00:52:43Um, well, I, 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.
00:53:07Hi.
00:53:07You 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.
00:53:23Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done
00:53:28if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:53:31Wow.
00:53:31That's such an honor.
00:53:33I heard he was a great man.
00:53:35He was a great man.
00:53:37Martina.
00:53:39Have 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, she has.
00:53:48In fact, I can, uh,
00:53:50I can see her playing a bigger role,
00:53:53at 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, uh-huh.
00:54:06Amazing.
00:54:07Well, I can't wait.
00:54:14Me either.
00:54:23Like, listen.
00:54:32Bye-bye.
00:54:40Bye-bye.
00:54:45Bye-bye.
00:54:45Bye-bye.
00:54:46Jesus.
00:54:50Ariel
00:54:54Lane
00:54:56There you are
00:54:56I've been looking everywhere for you
00:54:58Here I am
00:54:59Have you seen Valentina?
00:55:02No, I don't think so
00:55:03About your height, flowy hair, no glasses
00:55:07Um, no, no, I don't think so
00:55:10In fact
00:55:11What?
00:55:14Nothing
00:55:14It's ridiculous
00:55:15I better say hi to those guests
00:55:18But if you could find her for me, that would be great
00:55:21I'll get right on that
00:55:23Thank you
00:55:24Bye
00:55:24Just go out there and hype Lane up
00:55:35So he can deliver his speech
00:55:36Then we're back to finding the drive
00:55:38Okay
00:55:40You can do this
00:55:42Oh, hi Ariel
00:55:45Uh
00:55:48He must be mistaken, love
00:55:51I don't know this Ariel you speak of
00:55:54Yeah, okay
00:55:56Ariel
00:55:57No, seriously
00:55:59My name is Valentina Kingsley
00:56:01And I'm a very wealthy socialite
00:56:03Oh, I get it
00:56:05It's like one of those improv games or something
00:56:08No, no, no, no game
00:56:10My name is Valentina
00:56:12Should I be
00:56:13Just be yourself
00:56:16I'm the Queen of England
00:56:18You can really tell it's me?
00:56:22Well, yeah
00:56:23But, I mean, I can be very observant
00:56:26Really?
00:56:28Mm-hmm
00:56:28Okay, well, Hannah
00:56:30It's very important that this stays between us
00:56:32Okay
00:56:33Can I ask why?
00:56:36Well, it's really complicated
00:56:38Um, but you have to promise me
00:56:40You won't tell anybody about this
00:56:42Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:56:45Yeah, sure
00:56:46Aw
00:56:47Well, good luck with whatever this is
00:56:52Yeah, thanks
00:56:55I'm gonna need it
00:56:57Ah, there you are, darling
00:57:19Ah, Valentina
00:57:21I'm so glad to see you
00:57:22Look at this place
00:57:24I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this
00:57:26Since the King of Spain's birthday
00:57:27I'm glad it lives up to your approval
00:57:29Of course
00:57:31You're doing a speech, I see
00:57:33Well, I'm not much of a speech giver
00:57:35They're gonna eat you up, darling
00:57:37You make me feel so confident
00:57:40I need to be looking at you
00:57:43When I give my speech
00:57:44Of course
00:57:51Okay, perfect
00:57:53Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside
00:57:57I must go speak with her
00:57:58Ah, Valentina
00:57:59I was thinking
00:58:00Maybe tonight
00:58:02I could show you
00:58:03The AI code
00:58:05Yes
00:58:07I would love to see what you've been working on
00:58:10Great
00:58:11Where would this be taking place?
00:58:14In the study, or?
00:58:16Upstairs
00:58:16Hidden
00:58:17In a very high-tech safe
00:58:19Ah
00:58:20I see
00:58:21You actually inspired my security team
00:58:25To create a new hiding space for it
00:58:28What the heck did I say?
00:58:31I'll give you hints
00:58:32If you were to look for it
00:58:34You'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world
00:58:37I'll let you get back to socializing
00:58:41Good luck, darling
00:58:44Thank you
00:58:45Excuse me
00:59:09What are you doing in here?
00:59:15Excuse me
00:59:16What are you doing in here?
00:59:19Um
00:59:19And who are you?
00:59:22Oh
00:59:22Um
00:59:23Uh
00:59:24Um
00:59:25I
00:59:25I, um
00:59:26You look lost
00:59:29I am, darling
00:59:31I am lost
00:59:33I've been to a lot of mansions
00:59:35But this one is big
00:59:37Grandfather
00:59:39Yes
00:59:40This is Valentina Kingsley
00:59:41Blaine's new girlfriend
00:59:43Oh, yes, yes
00:59:46From the, uh
00:59:47Front page of the
00:59:48The Times
00:59:48Yes, I've heard a lot about you
00:59:50Hope it was all good things
00:59:52Well
00:59:53I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now
00:59:57Since his father passed
00:59:59And I trust that Blaine is, uh
01:00:02Treating you
01:00:03Respectfully
01:00:05Like a lady
01:00:05She is
01:00:07Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you
01:00:10If it had been during Blaine's speech
01:00:12No one would know you're here
01:00:15Right
01:00:17Good thing
01:00:18Shall we return to the party?
01:00:22Yes, we shall
01:00:23Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley
01:00:25You too, sir
01:00:42You seem quiet
01:00:50Is everything on it?
01:00:52Everything's fine, darling
01:00:53Hey, Valentina
01:00:55I have a girl question
01:00:57For you
01:00:58Oh, my God
01:01:03For the love of God
01:01:04You clearly have a crush on Hannah
01:01:06Just ask her to dance
01:01:07You just met me
01:01:09You can already tell
01:01:09Yes
01:01:10You read me like a book
01:01:13I see what Blaine sees in you
01:01:15You're really inquisitive
01:01:17In fact
01:01:18I'll go butter her up for you
01:01:20Would you?
01:01:21That would be great
01:01:22Dude
01:01:25Hannah
01:01:29I need a favor
01:01:30Anything
01:01:31When Blaine is giving his speech
01:01:32I'm gonna step away
01:01:34If anyone asks
01:01:35I'm not feeling well
01:01:36And Ariel
01:01:37Is going to help Valentina
01:01:40Get some medicine
01:01:41Got it
01:01:42Oh
01:01:44And Kurt's gonna ask you to dance
01:01:46Really?
01:01:48Sorry
01:01:49When?
01:01:51Tonight
01:01:51Oh, right
01:01:52It's a ball
01:01:53It's time, brother
01:02:14You ready?
01:02:15As ready as I'll ever be
01:02:16Thank you
01:02:17Thank you
01:02:22For coming tonight
01:02:23It means a lot
01:02:25Of course
01:02:26You're gonna be amazing
01:02:29Ladies and gentlemen
01:02:36I want to thank you all so much
01:02:38I want to thank you all so much
01:02:38For coming out here tonight
01:02:39It is my great honor
01:02:41And privilege
01:02:42To introduce my good friend
01:02:44Your CEO
01:02:45Of Ellington Incorporated
01:02:47Mr. Blaine Ellington
01:02:49Good evening everyone
01:02:56I want to
01:02:58Before we get started
01:02:59Thank two people
01:03:01Who
01:03:01Without their help
01:03:02None of this would have happened tonight
01:03:04My assistant Ariel
01:03:06And my girlfriend
01:03:07Valentina
01:03:08Not sure where they are right now
01:03:14But
01:03:14I want to thank them
01:03:16For having my back
01:03:18Hi
01:03:23Oh, hi
01:03:25You haven't
01:03:27Seen Valentina
01:03:28Around, have you?
01:03:29I wanted to try to find her
01:03:30So she can watch
01:03:31Blaine's speech
01:03:32Valentina
01:03:33Is sick
01:03:34And
01:03:35Ariel
01:03:36Was helping her
01:03:36Get medicine
01:03:37Oh, okay
01:03:38Um
01:03:41You look
01:03:42You look really pretty
01:03:44By the way
01:03:44Thanks
01:03:46You look really pretty too
01:03:49Thank you
01:03:50Alright, time to find this code
01:04:12Blaine mentioned something I said
01:04:33What the heck did I say
01:04:36The paintings
01:04:40So
01:04:55Tonight
01:04:56I'm pledging
01:04:57Ten million dollars
01:04:59To help research cures
01:05:01For illnesses and disorders unknown
01:05:03Thank you all for coming
01:05:05I hope to see you on the dance floor
01:05:07I'm sorry, Mom
01:05:29L
01:05:45I love to you
01:05:46You
01:05:47I know
01:05:51You
01:05:52I know
01:05:53I'll give you hints
01:06:02If you were to look for it
01:06:04You'd be seeing it the most beautiful thing in the world
01:06:06He wasn't talking about the painting
01:06:12He was talking about me
01:06:23He was talking about me
01:06:53Okay.
01:07:06Okay.
01:07:10Think Ariel.
01:07:23What could the numbers be?
01:07:25It couldn't be our first date, could it?
01:07:53I've got the code.
01:07:57Excellent, darling.
01:07:58I'll give it to you after the ball.
01:08:00Or you could give it to me now.
01:08:05Flora?
01:08:09What are you doing here?
01:08:12I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be.
01:08:15Just like you, apparently.
01:08:18The code, darling.
01:08:23The future.
01:08:26In the palm of my hand.
01:08:30I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:08:33Link's a good man.
01:08:36You're awful.
01:08:38He's rich, darling.
01:08:39He'll get over it.
01:08:40My mom?
01:08:42And her surgery?
01:08:44I've been accused of many things.
01:08:46But I always keep my word.
01:08:49Now, go and celebrate.
01:08:51You deserve it, darling.
01:08:53You deserve it.
01:09:19Valentina.
01:09:20Hi, darling.
01:09:21There you are.
01:09:21How 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, because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:10:07She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:10:09No, no, no.
01:10:11There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:10:14What?
01:10:15If only your little assistant had assisted you in researching her.
01:10:21You know, it's funny.
01:10:22I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:10:26Lane, don't listen to him.
01:10:27What is he talking about?
01:10:30Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here.
01:10:34But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:10:38Okay.
01:10:48Ariel?
01:10:50Ariel?
01:10:51Ariel?
01:10:51Ariel?
01:10:51Ariel?
01:10:51Ariel?
01:10:52Ariel?
01:10:52Ariel?
01:10:53Ariel?
01:10:53Ariel?
01:10:54Ariel?
01:10:54Ariel?
01:10:55Do you think I am coming here?
01:11:04This whole time, you've been Valentina?
01:11:07That's right.
01:11:08This whole time, you pretended to care about me.
01:11:12You're just a liar.
01:11:14And worse.
01:11:16She's poor.
01:11:18Why?
01:11:20Yes, Ariel.
01:11:21But why?
01:11:23I'm so sorry.
01:11:25Ariel.
01:11:26Ariel, wait.
01:11:28How embarrassing.
01:11:32You know, I looked into you.
01:11:36You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here.
01:11:41How preposterous.
01:11:43If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:11:46Ew.
01:11:48You're poor?
01:11:50Regina!
01:11:56You're my hero.
01:11:58Thanks.
01:12:00Sometimes I just gotta tell him no.
01:12:06Ariel!
01:12:15What are you smiling about?
01:12:18I mean, come on.
01:12:20This proves it, right?
01:12:21He's a joke.
01:12:23No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:12:26He's a liability, Richard.
01:12:28And 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.
01:12:34Oh, well, don't bet on that.
01:12:36You know, you've got a lot of nerve talking to me like this, kid.
01:12:39You've got a lot of nerve letting the ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:12:46I should be running this company.
01:12:49Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:52Look, I'm not cool.
01:12:58I don't want to hear it.
01:12:59I do not want to hear it.
01:13:01You lied to me.
01:13:02Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me in there.
01:13:05That is fair.
01:13:12Regina!
01:13:12That was a disaster.
01:13:37I just don't understand.
01:13:43Why would she go through all that?
01:13:45I don't know.
01:13:47But these scandals are exhausting.
01:13:51Yeah.
01:13:52I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:13:57What?
01:14:01I got a lot to think about.
01:14:03What do you mean?
01:14:04I mean, we may have to take the company in a complete different direction for it to gain back the public's trust.
01:14:12You can't be serious.
01:14:14Huh?
01:14:18Something 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...
01:14:34No!
01:14:56No!
01:14:57No!
01:14:58ariel baby oh you look like you had a rough night it was a disaster really i feel awful

01:16:26To the future, darling.
01:16:33Drink.
01:16:39You'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.
01:16:57Of 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.
01:17:24Well, 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, 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.
01:17:50All right.
01:18:16One more drink, and we'll start packing up my things.
01:18:21Deal.
01:18:22One more.
01:18:28Anna.
01:18:28Hi, Mr. Ellington.
01:18:29May I come in?
01:18:30Sure.
01:18:31Come on in.
01:18:32Hi, cutie.
01:18:33Care 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.
01:18:52From 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.
01:19:02How important?
01:19:02I don't know, but she did say that it was something so important that she only trusted
01:19:09me to deliver it, so it must be a big deal.
01:19:24Oh, 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?
01:19:51Oh, Flora?
01:19:51Yes, darling.
01:19:53Your appointment had to leave early.
01:19:55I asked if they wanted to schedule, but they said no.
01:19:58I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:20:01What was the name?
01:20:02Valentina Kingsley?
01:20:05Valentina Kingsley?
01:20:06You're rich.
01:20:10You'll get over it, darling.
01:20:29Oh, what's going on?
01:20:32Oh, what's going on?
01:20:45What does this mean?
01:20:46Oh, thank you for everything.
01:20:53Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh, that, uh, that, uh, that thing?
01:21:01Yes, yes, let's, uh, let's do that.
01:21:03Can 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.
01:21:37To celebrate.
01:21:39Celebrate.
01:21:44You are going to regret this.
01:21:46I promise you that.
01:21:47Jeez, 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, your 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
01:22:42better than she has in a long time.
01:22:45I can't thank you enough.
01:22:46I'm happy to help.
01:23:19Come in, come in.
01:23:30Welcome.
01:23:36Ariel.
01:23:38Mom, why didn't you leave 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, and I got kind of excited.
01:23:49Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:23:52No, thank you, but thank you.
01:23:53Oh, thank you.
01:23:54Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:23:57Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:24:00Oh, of course.
01:24:02Um, I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:24:16I'm so, so sorry.
01:24:17I, uh, I 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.
01:24:30I, I don't even know where to start.
01:24:33I'm not looking for an apology.
01:24:39You're not?
01:24:40No.
01:24:42See, I'm still CEO, and I need an assistant.
01:24:45And you're kind of the best in town.
01:24:51I accept.
01:24:53And, uh, you're still looking for a girlfriend?
01:25:00Mom, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:25:04Bye.
01:25:15I love you, Valentina.
01:25:19I, I 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.
01:25:34I love you, Valentina.
01:25:45This is my special place.
01:25:46I love you, Valentina.
