00:00:00Hey, this is Richard Allenton, I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message.

00:00:15Hey, Grandpa.

00:00:17It's one thing to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody-two-shoe women.

00:00:24But to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind

00:00:28date, that's low.

00:00:33Let's hope this one's different.

00:00:36I don't even know what to say to this guy.

00:00:39I don't know how to talk to rich people.

00:00:41Be sexy.

00:00:43Darling, just act better than everyone else in the room.

00:00:47And being sexy is easy.

00:00:49Bite your lip, push up the girls.

00:00:52It works every time.

00:00:53Wait, what about girls?

00:00:55And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily.

00:00:58So challenge them, be bold, and put them on the spot.

00:01:02I don't think I can do this.

00:01:04The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your

00:01:09mother's surgery.

00:01:10It's your call.

00:01:25Are you going to stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?

00:01:45Of course.

00:01:46Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.

00:01:59You're so...

00:02:01Rich?

00:02:02Sexy?

00:02:04Frankly, yes.

00:02:06Sorry, what was your name?

00:02:11Valentina Kingsley.

00:02:13And you are?

00:02:14Blaine Ellington.

00:02:15CEO of Ellington Incorporated.

00:02:19And this is a successful company?

00:02:21It's not ringing any bells.

00:02:24Waiter?

00:02:25Yes, Mr. Ellington.

00:02:27You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?

00:02:31Yes, of course.

00:02:32If so, we'll have two bottles.

00:02:35It's $60,000 per bottle, sir.

00:02:38You want two?

00:02:40Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.

00:02:44Yes, of course, right away, sir.

00:02:52And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?

00:02:55I invest.

00:02:57In what?

00:02:59In everything.

00:03:02What am I not investing in?

00:03:05Businesses.

00:03:06Charities.

00:03:09I see.

00:03:10And you live in the city?

00:03:13The city.

00:03:15The hills.

00:03:17My yacht.

00:03:19My private island.

00:03:22I'm everywhere, darling.

00:03:24You're so impressive.

00:03:27So unlike the other girls I've seen.

00:03:31Doesn't surprise me.

00:03:32I'm one of a kind, darling.

00:03:36Um, you've got a little, uh...

00:03:51Kurt?

00:03:52Kurt?

00:03:53What's my manager doing here?

00:03:56Blaine.

00:03:59My business dinner just ended.

00:04:01The presentation for the China branch?

00:04:03Looking good.

00:04:04Amazing.

00:04:05You're the best, Kurt.

00:04:06Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two.

00:04:07Just wanted to say hi.

00:04:10Rose petals for a business dinner?

00:04:12Ended up being a blind date.

00:04:13Ah, classic.

00:04:15All right, well, you two have fun.

00:04:23I've got to be honest with you.

00:04:27You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.

00:04:31Would you like to come to my place?

00:04:33I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.

00:04:35Absolutely, darling.

00:04:43Whoa.

00:04:46Welcome to my home.

00:04:48After you.

00:05:04Oh, my.

00:05:16You like what you see?

00:05:19You're getting there, darling.

00:05:21Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...

00:05:24Well, then.

00:05:26Shall we get started?

00:05:30Not so fast.

00:05:33Okay, a little foreplay?

00:05:35I did not think this through at all.

00:05:37How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?

00:05:45Looking for something?

00:05:47Oh, um...

00:05:50Ah.

00:05:52I should have known that was your style.

00:05:56Oh, yes, darling.

00:05:59I can't believe people are actually into this.

00:06:01I'm not used to being the one tied up.

00:06:03It's usually the other way around.

00:06:09Valentina?

00:06:11Patience, darling.

00:06:13I'm building the suspense.

00:06:16Ah, I see.

00:06:18Where could it be?

00:06:19Right.

00:06:20And you say guys actually like this?

00:06:23Oh, yes.

00:06:24It's very popular with the manly men in France.

00:06:31How long does it take for something to actually happen?

00:06:38That's...

00:06:39That's new.

00:06:42The painting!

00:06:43Maybe there's a safe behind there.

00:06:45Oh, uh...

00:06:46Sorry, this painting caught my eye.

00:06:49It looks exactly like the one in my mansion in Sweden.

00:06:54It's where I keep my safe.

00:06:57People actually still hide things behind paintings?

00:07:01I thought that was only in the movies.

00:07:03Oh, no, it's quite popular.

00:07:06Where do you hide your luxurious safe keepings?

00:07:11In a super, super, super secret hiding place.

00:07:15Oh, come on.

00:07:18Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?

00:07:22Oh, uh...

00:07:23Most unfortunate, I'm getting the utmost important business call,

00:07:28and I must take it.

00:07:30Right now?

00:07:31What?

00:07:32What about me?

00:07:33Valentina!

00:07:37Wait!

00:07:39Untie me!

00:07:45Ew.

00:07:46Really, Blaine?

00:07:48What?

00:07:49You and your models.

00:07:52Last night was not a model.

00:07:54I was actually impressed.

00:07:57Did I hear right?

00:07:59Blaine actually had a date he liked?

00:08:02It was fantastic.

00:08:04The other girls are so boring.

00:08:06But this one, she's a mystery I can't quite crack.

00:08:10I must see her again.

00:08:12Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.

00:08:16It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.

00:08:23Grandfather.

00:08:24Listen to him.

00:08:26He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.

00:08:28I am much more qualified.

00:08:31I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.

00:08:34No, no, no, no.

00:08:36Look, you do great work right where you are.

00:08:39Right?

00:08:40You were meant to be some CEO.

00:08:43No, but Blaine, Blaine will learn in time.

00:08:46Whatever.

00:08:49Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.

00:08:51I have actual work to attend to.

00:08:57Yeah, yeah, thanks.

00:09:05Hello?

00:09:06How's our plan going, darling?

00:09:10To perfection.

00:09:13Charity has Blaine wrapped around her finger.

00:09:15It won't be long until he flips up and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.

00:09:22Brilliant.

00:09:23It's all coming together perfectly.

00:09:26And the VR tech you're developing, it'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?

00:09:30Oh, yes.

00:09:31It'll be ready.

00:09:32Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.

00:09:40I can't stop thinking about this girl from last night.

00:09:43I think she's the one.

00:09:44It's about time we broke up.

00:09:45What's he doing here?

00:09:46Speaking of girls, I think I know who would be perfect as your new assistant.

00:09:51Oh.

00:09:52Sorry.

00:09:53I'm fine.

00:09:56Ariel.

00:09:57How does he know my name?

00:09:59You dropped your badge.

00:10:01You dropped your badge.

00:10:09There you go.

00:10:11Thanks.

00:10:22Are you playing hide and seek?

00:10:23Is that where you were laying?

00:10:24Can I hide next?

00:10:26No, I was dropping my mom off at the hospital.

00:10:28Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.

00:10:30Wait.

00:10:31Oh, my God.

00:10:32Is she okay?

00:10:33Should I bring her a fruit basket?

00:10:34She's just getting some tests done.

00:10:36Oh, thank goodness.

00:10:38Hey.

00:10:39By the way, did you hear?

00:10:40Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.

00:10:42Are you going to apply?

00:10:43I'm good where I am, but all the girls are applying.

00:10:46Everyone wants to get close to our boss.

00:10:48You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.

00:10:50I think this position is yours.

00:11:01He's gorgeous.

00:11:03I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.

00:11:07Attention, everyone.

00:11:09My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.

00:11:13I will try my best to live up to my father,

00:11:16but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.

00:11:20And since he is adjusting to this new role,

00:11:23I've decided to assign him a new assistant.

00:11:26Not me, not me, not me.

00:11:28Blaine.

00:11:30Meet your new assistant, Ariel.

00:11:37All right, everyone, back to work.

00:11:45You look exactly like...

00:11:49Oh, my God, my cover's blown.

00:11:52Kurt described.

00:11:54Clean, organized desk, confident composure.

00:11:59There'd be a pay raise, of course.

00:12:02This could get me closer to finding the code.

00:12:05When do I start?

00:12:07Perfect.

00:12:08First thing I need help with is this file.

00:12:11Oh, got to take a phone call.

00:12:14Send it to me in an email.

00:12:16Send it to me in an email.

00:12:20Ariel, he wants to meet you again.

00:12:23Really?

00:12:25Also, I got you a second number.

00:12:27Just click the link to connect it,

00:12:29so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.

00:12:32Great.

00:12:39New number, huh?

00:12:43Hello?

00:12:45Hello, Ariel? This is Dr. Westphal.

00:12:47We just got your mother's results.

00:12:53It's not what we hoped,

00:12:55so we need to move quickly if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.

00:12:59Okay, I understand.

00:13:02I'll come up with the money for it soon.

00:13:15Oh, perfect timing.

00:13:17I just finished dinner.

00:13:19Mom, you should be in bed.

00:13:21Honey, I'm fine.

00:13:22Besides, you've been working all day.

00:13:24You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.

00:13:26Mom, please.

00:13:27Honey, sit down.

00:13:38The doctor called.

00:13:40He says it's gotten worse.

00:13:42Hush, hush.

00:13:44None of that talk, okay?

00:13:46Mom.

00:13:48Eat before your food gets cold.

00:13:57I'll be right back.

00:14:05It's time for the second date, darling.

00:14:07Are you ready?

00:14:09Yeah.

00:14:13Mom, I have to leave for work.

00:14:15I'll make it to go.

00:14:32Oh, where am I?

00:14:38Valentina!

00:14:40Wayne!

00:14:42Darling, what is this dreadful place?

00:14:45Do you intend to have me killed?

00:14:47No, not at all.

00:14:48This place is special.

00:14:50Follow me.

00:15:03How many more?

00:15:05We're almost there. Come on.

00:15:10Hurry up.

00:15:21Wow.

00:15:31Would you look at that view?

00:15:35I bet you bring all your models up here.

00:15:37Just you, actually.

00:15:39I discovered this place after my father died.

00:15:43Your family died?

00:15:45Yeah.

00:15:47And I've been thrown into the CEO position,

00:15:49and I'm a bit in over my head.

00:15:53So I never really get a chance to myself,

00:15:55except when I come here.

00:16:00I'm so sorry.

00:16:02It's okay.

00:16:08My mom is sick.

00:16:13She needs experimental surgery.

00:16:19So I know how it feels to want to get away.

00:16:23Yeah.

00:16:26I'm used to getting everything,

00:16:28but this is one thing that money can't buy.

00:16:32I'm so sorry about your mom.

00:16:34Thanks.

00:16:37She's all I've got.

00:16:40I want to say goodbye to her.

00:16:51Hey! Who's out here?

00:16:54What's happening?

00:16:56Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.

00:16:58What?

00:16:59Run.

00:17:08Hey!

00:17:10Still.

00:17:16What was that?

00:17:18That was fun.

00:17:20Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates?

00:17:22No, I suppose not.

00:17:26I haven't felt this way in a really long time.

00:17:31I feel like I can be myself around you.

00:17:34I feel the same way.

00:17:37Will you be my girlfriend, Valentina?

00:17:39That's right. I'm supposed to be Valentina.

00:17:41I can't do this to him.

00:17:46But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.

00:17:49I'd love to.

00:17:54Well, well, well.

00:17:57Martina, what are you doing here?

00:18:00I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.

00:18:04Had to see it for myself.

00:18:06Well, that blind date went so well the other night,

00:18:09it got me thinking maybe Grandfather was right.

00:18:12Is that so?

00:18:14Klein's got himself a little bit of a problem.

00:18:17Klein's got himself a little girlfriend?

00:18:19That's right.

00:18:21Wow. What's she like?

00:18:23She's funny, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable.

00:18:29She's the whole package.

00:18:31Sounds like one that Dad actually would have approved of.

00:18:34I'd love to meet her.

00:18:37Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington. Is this a bad time?

00:18:40No, not at all. My sister just came to visit.

00:18:43Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.

00:18:46Martina, nice to meet you.

00:18:48Likewise. Glad to see my brother as someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.

00:18:53Don't you worry. I got this.

00:18:55Well, after you lost the keys to the Maserati,

00:18:58I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new AI tech that we need.

00:19:01I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati.

00:19:03And don't you worry. I've got the codes right here on this drive.

00:19:08And I'm keeping it safe.

00:19:17I'm glad to hear you're doing that.

00:19:19I have wasted enough time.

00:19:23Now you know exactly where it is.

00:19:25Get it.

00:19:36All right, where's that drive?

00:19:41Oh, God.

00:19:44Are you kidding? There's nothing in here.

00:19:59They're coming in. Crap!

00:20:02How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey?

00:20:05Oh, man.

00:20:06You don't toss my arm.

00:20:08You don't toss my arm.

00:20:10You don't toss my arm.

00:20:12You don't toss my arm.

00:20:14No, no, no.

00:20:21Oh, yeah.

00:20:26Sarah, cheers.

00:20:28Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?

00:20:33Right, right, right. After then.

00:20:35Yeah.

00:20:41Phew. That was close.

00:20:48Hey, hey, girlfriend. Can I ask you for advice on something?

00:20:51Sure. What's going on?

00:20:53So, I have this friend who is having boy problems.

00:20:56Aren't we all?

00:20:58So, she has a crush on her boss, and she doesn't know what to do about it

00:21:01because of the whole workplace relationship thing.

00:21:03How did she find out I like Blaine?

00:21:05Wait, I don't like Blaine.

00:21:07How did she find out I like Blaine?

00:21:09Wait, I don't like Blaine.

00:21:11But he deserves to know, though, right?

00:21:13You're going to tell him?

00:21:14I mean, I don't know.

00:21:15Because what if I tell Kurt I like him, and he doesn't like me,

00:21:18and then it's so totally awkward, and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.

00:21:22Wait, you like Kurt?

00:21:24I gotta go. What?

00:21:26Ring, ring. Oh, I'm getting a call.

00:21:30Ring, ring. Ring, ring. Ring, ring.

00:21:33Ring, ring.

00:21:36Ariel.

00:21:38Yes, Mr. Ellington?

00:21:40I need your personal help.

00:21:42Well, I am your personal assistant.

00:21:54I've never gotten a girl a gift.

00:21:56Wow, really?

00:21:58Um, I mean, yeah.

00:22:00First girlfriend, first gift.

00:22:02Checks out.

00:22:03So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.

00:22:19Oh my God, I'm going to be wearing that?

00:22:22Sorry?

00:22:24Your girlfriend's going to be wearing that?

00:22:26Yeah.

00:22:27It's pretty nice, right?

00:22:29Well, I mean, it's option one.

00:22:31You think she'll like it?

00:22:33Um, well, what's your girlfriend like?

00:22:37What are her tastes?

00:22:40Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous.

00:22:45The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.

00:22:51I see.

00:22:54So, keep that in mind.

00:22:56Option two.

00:23:02And that's even more revealing than the first one.

00:23:04Yeah.

00:23:05This is bacon Europe.

00:23:07Between you and me, I'm rooting for this guy.

00:23:09Mm-hmm.

00:23:10I see.

00:23:11Do you have anything more modest?

00:23:16Hm, modest?

00:23:18Yeah, that seems to be the style I've been seeing these days.

00:23:23With the rich folk, at least.

00:23:26You know, now that you say it, I think I do have something.

00:23:34Aha!

00:23:38What do you think?

00:23:40I think she'd really like that.

00:23:48Can I have a margarita?

00:23:51You can't be serious, darling.

00:23:54She'll have a French 75 with cognac.

00:23:57Flora, what are you doing here?

00:23:59Making sure you look the part.

00:24:01You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?

00:24:04Yes, more than anything.

00:24:06Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize.

00:24:09We need to get our hands on that code fast.

00:24:12Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery.

00:24:14But until then, we're in this together.

00:24:17Yes?

00:24:19Yeah.

00:24:21Excellent.

00:24:23Now, what's your game plan?

00:24:25Make him even more vulnerable,

00:24:27and get him to tell me where the code is.

00:24:30And how do you suppose you'll do that?

00:24:32Um...

00:24:35Be nice?

00:24:38Your ignorance is both cute and annoying.

00:24:43No.

00:24:45A man like Blaine Ellington

00:24:47is going to become vulnerable from two things.

00:24:50Drinking with him,

00:24:52and going to bed with him.

00:24:55Right.

00:24:57I can do that.

00:24:59I hope so, because he's coming this way.

00:25:04Get the code soon, honey.

00:25:07For your mother.

00:25:09Okay.

00:25:11Oh!

00:25:13Come on, darling. Have fun.

00:25:18Okay.

00:25:20Valentina.

00:25:23How are you?

00:25:24Wonderful, love.

00:25:26I've been looking forward to this all day.

00:25:28Is that so?

00:25:29Indeed.

00:25:31I was so distracted.

00:25:33It affected my croquet score.

00:25:35Oh, no. Distracted over little old me.

00:25:38Yes.

00:25:39I simply must know everything about you.

00:25:42Well, what would you like to know?

00:25:45Everything.

00:25:47Well, I don't know about everything.

00:25:49It might take some time for me to open up.

00:25:51Well, maybe after a few drinks?

00:25:55Only if you can keep up.

00:25:57You see, I don't really start talking

00:25:59until after a lot of drinking.

00:26:01Oh, no.

00:26:03Well, here goes nothing.

00:26:06Oh, man.

00:26:09Oh.

00:26:11Right?

00:26:12That's really good.

00:26:14That's not bad.

00:26:16That's funny.

00:26:24You know, my sister was implying today

00:26:27that I should tell someone where my new AI code is

00:26:30because I forget stuff, and...

00:26:34Are you forgetful?

00:26:37I mean, yeah.

00:26:39Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?

00:26:43What? Really?

00:26:44Yeah.

00:26:45It cost me $10,000 just to get them rekeyed,

00:26:49which is why I should probably tell someone

00:26:53in case I do forget.

00:26:56So maybe I should tell you

00:26:58because you're so awesome and trustworthy?

00:27:01Well, if you'd like, go ahead.

00:27:04I'll tell you, but first...

00:27:11I'm going to hit the men's room.

00:27:17This is it.

00:27:18All I need to do is ask him where the code is,

00:27:21and my mission is over.

00:27:22Nothing can stop me now.

00:27:24Ariel?

00:27:26Except my ex-boyfriend.

00:27:32I don't know what you're talking about, darling.

00:27:34I don't know this... Ariel.

00:27:37No, no, no, no, no.

00:27:39You are definitely Ariel.

00:27:42But what are you doing in a place like this?

00:27:45You're poor.

00:27:47Fine. Please just leave, Max.

00:27:50It's Maximilian now.

00:27:52Because I'm Max, and I make millions.

00:27:55Whatever. Please. I'm begging you.

00:27:57Look at you.

00:27:59You look so much better.

00:28:01You look... what's that word?

00:28:04Rich?

00:28:06Please.

00:28:07I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately,

00:28:09but I've become very rich.

00:28:12Yes, you've sent me 50 messages about it.

00:28:14I had to block your number.

00:28:16Oh, yeah, that's right.

00:28:18Please, I'll do whatever you want, okay?

00:28:20I just...

00:28:22How about a kiss for old time's sake?

00:28:25You know, Ariel, sometimes I reminisce

00:28:28about our poor days together.

00:28:30This isn't happening.

00:28:32Do you not remember when we'd go and get taco Tuesday

00:28:35at that Mexican restaurant

00:28:37and eat unlimited discount tacos?

00:28:40How embarrassing.

00:28:42Don't you have a girlfriend?

00:28:44Yes, he does.

00:28:45A situation shipped at best.

00:28:48Let go, Max.

00:28:49Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.

00:28:52Get off of me.

00:28:55Blaine Ellington?

00:28:57Max Fletcher.

00:28:58Maximilian?

00:29:00What are you doing with that peasant?

00:29:02That's my girlfriend you're talking about.

00:29:04Blaine Ellington.

00:29:06Getting my sloppy seconds.

00:29:10Ugh!

00:29:22This isn't over.

00:29:27Come on, Regina.

00:29:32Just stay away from my man, skank.

00:29:35I was actually trying to.

00:29:39Are you okay?

00:29:40Yeah, I think so.

00:29:42We gotta get out of here.

00:29:44This isn't good.

00:29:53Care to explain this?

00:29:55I assume the article does a good job.

00:29:59Getting into a physical altercation

00:30:02in a bar?

00:30:04What are you, a child?

00:30:06I'm not a child.

00:30:07But he started it.

00:30:09I don't care who started it.

00:30:11Ellington is a company based in family values.

00:30:16I was out with my girlfriend

00:30:18trying to uphold those family values.

00:30:20No, don't play the girlfriend card.

00:30:23The onus is you on this, pal.

00:30:26Maybe your sister was right.

00:30:29Maybe you're too much of a risk,

00:30:31even though you say you've settled down.

00:30:34Either way,

00:30:35I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.

00:30:39What would your father think?

00:30:58Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

00:31:01What is that?

00:31:03A family motto I'm not aware of?

00:31:05It's Shakespeare, you idiot.

00:31:08What are you doing here?

00:31:09You don't want any of this.

00:31:11You don't know what I want.

00:31:13Uh, booze and bimbos?

00:31:16Or does page one of the paper say something different?

00:31:19She's not a bimbo.

00:31:22Then don't treat her like one.

00:31:25Treat her like Dad treated Mom.

00:31:29How do you mean?

00:31:32Bring her completely into your life.

00:31:35Let her know everything about you.

00:31:38I'm trying to.

00:31:39Just last night, we were sharing everything with each other.

00:31:42Okay, share more.

00:31:44Behind most men's success is a strong woman.

00:31:47I will.

00:31:49I'm gonna get close to this woman.

00:31:51You'll see.

00:31:53And you will be like

00:31:55two lovely berries molded onto one stem.

00:31:58Shakespeare?

00:32:01Yeah.

00:32:02Ow.

00:32:13Martina, how are you?

00:32:16How am I?

00:32:18Yeah, how are you?

00:32:19I am annoyed.

00:32:21Time is running out, understand?

00:32:23We chose you because we thought you could get the job done.

00:32:26But now I'm not so sure.

00:32:29Wait.

00:32:31Oh my God, do you have feelings for him?

00:32:34What? No.

00:32:36I hope not.

00:32:37Because you have four days to get that code.

00:32:39Or you can say bye to Mommy.

00:32:42Other than that...

00:32:44I am fine.

00:32:45Thanks for asking.

00:32:54Happy hump day, bestie!

00:32:56It's Tuesday, Hannah.

00:32:58Oh, right.

00:33:00Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?

00:33:02Better.

00:33:04And worse.

00:33:06It sounds super complicated.

00:33:08You have no idea.

00:33:10Ariel?

00:33:11Can you come in here?

00:33:13I'll be right there.

00:33:14Good thing you've got work to distract you.

00:33:16Good thing.

00:33:19Good thing.

00:33:26You have the file for the new China branch?

00:33:29Yeah.

00:33:37Long night?

00:33:41You know what?

00:33:43Let's forget about the file.

00:33:48Okay.

00:33:55Let's just close our eyes for ten minutes.

00:34:07That's an order.

00:34:09Okay.

00:34:12Ugh.

00:34:17This is nice.

00:34:19Yeah.

00:34:21This should be, like, an everyday thing.

00:34:25Mm-hmm.

00:34:29Good morning!

00:34:30Another beautiful day in Ellington.

00:34:32Let's get it! Woo!

00:34:34Oh, Hannah!

00:34:37Well, I guess that's over.

00:34:42Um...

00:34:44Well, everything should be there.

00:34:47I can't even concentrate on work right now.

00:34:51Oh? Why?

00:34:53Well, I don't know if you heard, but...

00:34:57Oh, my.

00:34:59That's, uh, quite a scene.

00:35:01Well, I'm glad you weren't there.

00:35:04I can imagine.

00:35:06Yeah, I just...

00:35:08I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.

00:35:13You should just talk to her.

00:35:15And be honest.

00:35:17Yeah.

00:35:18I'm gonna call her.

00:35:20What?

00:35:22Yeah, can you be in the room when I do it?

00:35:25Uh, you want me in the room?

00:35:28Yeah, maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.

00:35:32Tell me if she sounds upset.

00:35:35Um...

00:35:36Yeah?

00:35:37I don't know if I feel comfortable.

00:35:39Okay, but she makes me so nervous.

00:35:41I'm sure you make her nervous, too.

00:35:44Shit, shit, shit!

00:35:45Uh-oh!

00:35:47Uh-oh!

00:35:49Think, Ariel, think!

00:35:51Uh, I'm gonna be sick.

00:35:53Uh, bathroom!

00:35:56Hello, darling.

00:35:58Hey, Valentina.

00:36:01How are you?

00:36:03Thriving, my dear.

00:36:05How are you feeling?

00:36:07A little banged up, but I've been worse.

00:36:10You should have been with me in my partying days in Ibiza.

00:36:13I was an absolute heathen.

00:36:20Well, I'm glad you're here.

00:36:24Well, I'm glad to hear you're feeling all right.

00:36:28Uh, I was worried.

00:36:32No need, darling.

00:36:34I'm actually at the spa right now.

00:36:37Oh, I wanted to know if I'd get to see you again.

00:36:42You will, very soon.

00:36:46Uh, sorry.

00:36:49Can I help you?

00:36:51I couldn't hear you.

00:36:53It kind of sounded like...

00:36:55Sorry, Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.

00:37:00Must be going.

00:37:02Okay, sure.

00:37:04See you.

00:37:05Ta-ta!

00:37:07Ta-ta!

00:37:14Community theater.

00:37:17Character, I'm rehearsing.

00:37:21Murder mystery.

00:37:24I'll, uh, send you the dates.

00:37:27I'm not in the theater.

00:37:30That's fair.

00:37:38Mom, I'm home!

00:37:40Hi, honey, how was your day?

00:37:44It was not boring.

00:37:48How was yours?

00:37:50It was wonderful.

00:37:52I did laundry, watched some soaps.

00:37:56Um, what are you cooking?

00:37:58I told you I was going to cook tonight.

00:38:00Well, you know, I'm not a good cook.

00:38:03Mom, what are you cooking?

00:38:05I told you I was going to cook tonight.

00:38:07Well, you weren't home yet, and I wanted to go ahead and get started so your co-worker could have some, too.

00:38:12My co-worker?

00:38:14Hello, darling.

00:38:22Flora!

00:38:24What are you doing here?

00:38:26I was going to call you about a few work questions, but I was, uh, in the neighborhood.

00:38:32And thought I'd drop in.

00:38:34Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion.

00:38:37You didn't say anything about a job promotion.

00:38:40I guess it slipped my mind.

00:38:43Well, you two don't mind me.

00:38:45Go ahead and have your work talk, then I'll be ready soon.

00:38:59What are you doing here?

00:39:01Checking in to see what progress was made last night.

00:39:04I, um, I got close to finding out where he hid the drive, but I...

00:39:09But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?

00:39:12I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.

00:39:15Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.

00:39:19You're not getting attached.

00:39:21What? No. Of course not.

00:39:23Good. I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.

00:39:29Dinner's ready.

00:39:31Deeply sorry, darling. Urgent business. Must be taking off.

00:39:35Oh, um, okay, well, it was nice meeting you.

00:39:39You too, darling.

00:39:45Tick tock.

00:39:47Tick tock.

00:39:58All right, I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal.

00:40:02Any ideas?

00:40:05Inner rehab.

00:40:07Too tacky.

00:40:09Go volunteer in a third world country?

00:40:12Too obvious.

00:40:14Make a biology video for social media and post it there.

00:40:17Too cringe.

00:40:22Adopt an orphan.

00:40:24Now that is something. Ariel, how good are you at raising kids?

00:40:27Um, let's think of other options.

00:40:32What about a charity ball?

00:40:34Yes, that's it. That's the one.

00:40:37I like that. I like it a lot.

00:40:40Isn't she good?

00:40:41Phenomenal.

00:40:43Really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant.

00:40:46So, really, this kind of all comes back to...

00:40:48Got it. Wait, what charity would it be for?

00:40:52How about unknown disorders and illnesses?

00:40:55I'd love that. Let's get it rolling.

00:40:58I'll start right away.

00:41:00Ariel, you've become an integral part of our company,

00:41:04and I want to have you seated at our VIP table.

00:41:07Oh my gosh, thank you. I'm honored.

00:41:09Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend Valentina, and you.

00:41:14Good job, Ariel.

00:41:21Let's see how it looks. Come out.

00:41:27It fits perfectly, darling.

00:41:31Wow. Stunning.

00:41:34Next, I'll have to get your dress.

00:41:36A dress? What's the occasion?

00:41:40Well, I'm hosting this charity ball,

00:41:44and I would love for you to be my date.

00:41:47I love a good ball.

00:41:49But I must check my schedule, darling.

00:41:52Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?

00:41:56My new AI tech.

00:41:58It's going to revolutionize the world.

00:42:01It's going to revolutionize the world.

00:42:04Ah, yes.

00:42:06We got interrupted. You were going to tell me something important.

00:42:11What were you going to say?

00:42:13It's not really that necessary.

00:42:17You don't trust me?

00:42:19I do. This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO,

00:42:24and I just want it to go well.

00:42:27But I thought I was special.

00:42:30You are. I just...

00:42:32Well, you know, if you don't trust me...

00:42:35Wait.

00:42:40So you do trust me?

00:42:42Mm-hmm.

00:42:52So Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?

00:42:58Mm-hmm.

00:43:01Where is it?

00:43:02It's here. In the mansion.

00:43:08It's here?

00:43:15Mm-hmm.

00:43:23Where in the mansion?

00:43:26It's...

00:43:30Yeah.

00:43:32Yeah.

00:43:35Now?

00:43:39Okay. I'll be there.

00:43:47Where are you going, darling?

00:43:49They need me to be on this call with China, so I have to leave.

00:43:54You have to leave right now, darling?

00:43:57Yeah. Now.

00:43:59I'm sorry.

00:44:01We'll pick this back up again soon, huh?

00:44:04Yeah.

00:44:07Martina was right about you.

00:44:10I should start sharing more with you.

00:44:28Did you get it?

00:44:30The code is in Blaine's mansion.

00:44:33Excellent, darling. Excellent.

00:44:41Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:44:46I'm so sorry.

00:44:48I'm so sorry.

00:44:50I'm so sorry.

00:44:52I'm so sorry.

00:44:54I'm so sorry.

00:44:56I'm so sorry.

00:45:14Max, what are you doing here?

00:45:16What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?

00:45:18Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?

00:45:22You wouldn't understand.

00:45:23Oh, I understand.

00:45:25You'd like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?

00:45:29No, I'm not. I...

00:45:31You know, I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.

00:45:37It's only the right thing to do.

00:45:40Please don't. You don't know what I'm doing.

00:45:42Oh, you'll lose your job?

00:45:44Your reputation?

00:45:46Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?

00:45:51What do you want, Max?

00:45:52I just want a little... an arrangement.

00:45:56I'd rather not.

00:45:57Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.

00:46:03Did you just come here to hurt me?

00:46:05Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.

00:46:09I want to destroy you.

00:46:12You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.

00:46:17If by tomorrow, I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town...

00:46:24I'll do it for you.

00:46:40You seem extra happy today.

00:46:43I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole other level last night.

00:46:48Wow, that's awesome, man. I'm so happy for you.

00:46:51Hi, Mr. Lington. Hi, Kurt.

00:46:53Hi, Anna.

00:46:55Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.

00:46:59Kurt?

00:47:00Sorry, what were we talking about?

00:47:06Hi, Ariel. Are you alright?

00:47:09Yeah, I'm alright.

00:47:12I actually had an idea about the charity ball.

00:47:16Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.

00:47:21I was thinking we could host it ourselves.

00:47:25Where?

00:47:26I was thinking your house.

00:47:33I don't really like having people over at my house.

00:47:37Well, if we host it ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.

00:47:43And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.

00:47:46That makes sense.

00:47:49Okay, let's do it.

00:47:51Great. I'll send out the invitations.

00:47:57She really knows this company inside and out.

00:48:00What do you know about Ariel?

00:48:03What do you want to know?

00:48:07Here you go, Mom.

00:48:09I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.

00:48:12I'm just so sleepy.

00:48:14That's okay. We can watch it next weekend.

00:48:17Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.

00:48:21Mom, you are my friend.

00:48:23People your age, who you can be.

00:48:26How dandy you can be.

00:48:28I don't know.

00:48:30I don't know.

00:48:32I don't know.

00:48:34People your age, who you can be out dancing with.

00:48:38Flirting with boys.

00:48:41I actually kind of have met this one boy.

00:48:44What?

00:48:45What's he like?

00:48:47It's complicated.

00:48:49Honey, you just need to follow your heart.

00:48:52Yeah, he's kind of sweet.

00:48:56Um.

00:48:58Um.

00:49:00Oh.

00:49:02Sweetie, I'm fine.

00:49:04I just need some rest.

00:49:06Okay.

00:49:08Um.

00:49:25And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.

00:49:30I'm dreading giving this speech.

00:49:32I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?

00:49:36I always thought that was a little pervy, but.

00:49:40I promise you're going to be amazing.

00:49:44Thank you so much for helping with this.

00:49:48This charity ball idea was genius.

00:49:50I need to make it up to you at some point.

00:49:53I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.

00:49:58Well, I should get going.

00:50:00Wait, um.

00:50:02I should probably call Valentina, right?

00:50:05Make sure the dress fits.

00:50:08I'm sure she'd appreciate that.

00:50:10Alright.

00:50:11Good night.

00:50:24Hello, darling.

00:50:26I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.

00:50:29It's perfect.

00:50:31I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

00:50:34I can't wait either, darling.

00:50:36Good night.

00:50:53Ariel.

00:50:59This place looks amazing.

00:51:01Thanks, Kurt.

00:51:02You're looking sharp.

00:51:04Oh, yeah.

00:51:05Well, got a dress to impress, you know.

00:51:08Are you trying to impress anyone?

00:51:10Nah.

00:51:12Listen, Random.

00:51:14Does Hannah have a boyfriend?

00:51:18I don't think so.

00:51:20Do you like her?

00:51:22No.

00:51:23No, no, no.

00:51:25No, I'm just trying to make friendly conversation.

00:51:29Yeah.

00:51:31We need more balloons in the dining room.

00:51:35Oh.

00:51:37You're still here.

00:51:38Yeah.

00:51:39Uh, listen.

00:51:41If someone were to ask Hannah to dance,

00:51:47what do you think the chances are that she would say yes?

00:51:51Probably good.

00:51:53Are you going to ask her to dance?

00:51:55No.

00:51:56No, no, no, no, no.

00:51:57No, I'm just a fan of wild, hypothetical scenarios.

00:52:03That one just sprung to mind.

00:52:05Mm-hmm.

00:52:06Okay.

00:52:08Yep.

00:52:10Um, well, I'm going to go help Blaine practice his speech.

00:52:19So I'm going to do that right now.

00:52:22I will see you later.

00:52:24All right, see ya.

00:52:27And you must be Ariel.

00:52:32Yes, hi.

00:52:35Hmm.

00:52:36You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.

00:52:39He has?

00:52:40Oh, yes, yes.

00:52:41In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.

00:52:46I suppose so.

00:52:48Wonderful.

00:52:50Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done

00:52:53if he were in Blaine's situation.

00:52:56Wow, that's such an honor.

00:52:58I heard he was a great man.

00:53:00He was a great man.

00:53:03Martina.

00:53:04Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?

00:53:08Yes, briefly.

00:53:09She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.

00:53:13Yes, she has.

00:53:14In fact, I can see her playing a bigger role at Ellington if she keeps it up.

00:53:21Why wait?

00:53:22She could be a part of something huge tonight.

00:53:25Really?

00:53:26I think so.

00:53:27Don't you, Ariel?

00:53:29Uh, uh-huh.

00:53:31Amazing.

00:53:33Well, I can't wait.

00:53:39Me either.

00:54:09Ariel.

00:54:21Blaine.

00:54:22There you are.

00:54:23I've been looking everywhere for you.

00:54:24Here I am.

00:54:25Have you seen Valentina?

00:54:28No, I don't think so.

00:54:29About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?

00:54:33Um, no.

00:54:34No, I don't think so.

00:54:36In fact.

00:54:39Nothing.

00:54:40It's ridiculous.

00:54:42I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me, that would be great.

00:54:47I'll get right on that.

00:54:50Bye.

00:54:58Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.

00:55:02Then we're back to finding the drive.

00:55:05Okay.

00:55:07You can do this.

00:55:10Oh, hi, Ariel.

00:55:14Uh, you must be mistaken, love.

00:55:17I don't know this Ariel you speak of.

00:55:20Yeah, okay.

00:55:22Ariel.

00:55:24No, seriously.

00:55:26My name is Valentina Kingsley, and I'm a very wealthy socialite.

00:55:30Oh, I get it.

00:55:31It's like one of those improv games or something.

00:55:35No, no, no.

00:55:36My name is-

00:55:37Who else should I be?

00:55:40Just be yourself.

00:55:42I'm the Queen of England.

00:55:46You can really tell it's me?

00:55:48Yeah, but, I mean, I can be very observant.

00:55:52Really?

00:55:53Mm-hmm.

00:55:54Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.

00:55:58Okay.

00:55:59Can I ask why?

00:56:02Well, it's really complicated.

00:56:05But you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.

00:56:08Can we make it a pinky promise?

00:56:11Yeah, sure.

00:56:13Aw, well, good luck with whatever this is.

00:56:20Yeah, thanks.

00:56:22I'm going to need it.

00:56:32Oh, there you are, darling.

00:56:45Valentina, I'm so glad to see you.

00:56:48Look at this place.

00:56:50I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.

00:56:53I'm glad it lives up to your approval.

00:56:55Of course.

00:56:57You're doing a speech, I see.

00:56:59Well, I'm not much of a speech giver.

00:57:02They're going to eat you up, darling.

00:57:05You make me feel so confident.

00:57:08I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.

00:57:16Of course.

00:57:18Okay, perfect.

00:57:20Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside.

00:57:22I must go speak with her.

00:57:24Valentina, I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.

00:57:33Yes, I would love to see what you've been working on.

00:57:37Great.

00:57:38Where would this be taking place?

00:57:40In the study, or...

00:57:42Upstairs, hidden in a very high-tech safe.

00:57:46Ah, I see.

00:57:49I actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.

00:57:55What the heck did I say?

00:57:57I'll give you a hint.

00:57:59If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.

00:58:05I'll let you get back to socializing.

00:58:09Good luck, darling.

00:58:34Excuse me.

00:58:35What are you doing in here?

00:58:41Excuse me.

00:58:42What are you doing in here?

00:58:44Um...

00:58:45And who are you?

00:58:47Oh, um, uh...

00:58:50Um, I, I, um...

00:58:53You look lost.

00:58:56I am, darling.

00:58:58I am lost.

00:58:59I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.

00:59:04Grandfather.

00:59:05Yes?

00:59:06This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.

00:59:10Oh, yes, yes.

00:59:12From the front page of the Times.

00:59:14Yes, I've heard a lot about you.

00:59:16I hope it was all good things.

00:59:18Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.

00:59:25And I trust that Blaine is treating you respectfully, like a lady.

00:59:32He is.

00:59:33Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.

00:59:36If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.

00:59:41Right.

00:59:43Good thing.

00:59:45Shall we return to the party?

00:59:47Yes, we shall.

00:59:49Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.

00:59:52You too, sir.

01:00:07You seem quiet.

01:00:16Is everything all right?

01:00:17Everything's fine, darling.

01:00:19Hey, Valentina.

01:00:21I have a girl question for you.

01:00:27Oh, my God.

01:00:28For the love of God, you clearly have a crush on Hannah.

01:00:31Just ask her to dance.

01:00:33You just met me.

01:00:34You can already tell.

01:00:35Yes.

01:00:37You read me like a book.

01:00:39I see what Blaine sees in you.

01:00:41You're really inquisitive.

01:00:43In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.

01:00:46Would you?

01:00:47That would be great.

01:00:49Dude.

01:00:54Hannah, I need a favor.

01:00:56Anything.

01:00:57When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.

01:01:00If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.

01:01:02And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.

01:01:07Got it.

01:01:09Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.

01:01:12Really?

01:01:13Sorry.

01:01:15When?

01:01:16Tonight.

01:01:17Oh, right. It's a ball.

01:01:33It's time, brother.

01:01:35You ready?

01:01:36As ready as I'll ever be.

01:01:41Thank you for coming tonight.

01:01:44It means a lot.

01:01:46Of course.

01:01:48You're going to be amazing.

01:01:56Ladies and gentlemen,

01:01:59I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.

01:02:02It is my great honor and privilege

01:02:05to introduce my good friend,

01:02:07your CEO of Ellington Incorporated,

01:02:10Mr. Blaine Ellington.

01:02:18Good evening, everyone.

01:02:20I want to, before we get started,

01:02:23thank two people who, without their help,

01:02:26none of this would have happened tonight.

01:02:28My assistant, Ariel, and my girlfriend, Valentina.

01:02:36Not sure where they are right now,

01:02:38but I want to thank them for having my back.

01:02:46Hi, Anna.

01:02:48Oh, hi.

01:02:49You haven't seen Valentina around, have you?

01:02:52I wanted to try to find her.

01:02:54Valentina is sick,

01:02:56and Ariel was helping her get medicine.

01:02:59Oh, okay.

01:03:03You look really pretty, by the way.

01:03:07Thanks.

01:03:09You look really pretty, too.

01:03:13You look really pretty, too.

01:03:36All right, time to find this code.

01:03:44Oh.

01:03:57Blaine mentioned something I said?

01:04:00What the heck did I say?

01:04:04Phoenix.

01:04:14Phoenix.

01:04:20So, tonight, I'm pledging $10 million

01:04:24to help research cures for illnesses and disorders unknown.

01:04:29Thank you all for coming.

01:04:31I hope to see you on the dance floor.

01:04:43Thanks.

01:04:54I'm sorry, Mom.

01:04:56I failed you.

01:05:14Okay.

01:05:26I'll give you a hint.

01:05:28If you were to look for it,

01:05:30you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.

01:05:35He wasn't talking about the painting.

01:05:40He was talking about me.

01:05:43Oh, my God.

01:06:13Okay.

01:06:33Okay.

01:06:38Think, Ariel.

01:06:43Think.

01:06:49What could the numbers be?

01:06:51It couldn't be our first date, could it?

01:07:14No!

01:07:20I've got the code.

01:07:22Excellent, darling.

01:07:24I'll give it to you after the ball.

01:07:26Or you could give it to me now.

01:07:30Flora?

01:07:35What are you doing here?

01:07:37I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be.

01:07:40Just like you, apparently.

01:07:44The code, darling.

01:07:50The future.

01:07:52In the palm of my hand.

01:07:55I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.

01:07:59Blaine's a good man.

01:08:01I feel awful.

01:08:03He's rich, darling. He'll get over it.

01:08:06My mom?

01:08:08And her surgery?

01:08:10I've been accused of many things.

01:08:12But I always keep my word.

01:08:15Now, go and celebrate. You deserve it, darling.

01:08:39Valentina.

01:08:41Hi, darling.

01:08:42There you are.

01:08:44How are you feeling?

01:08:46Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.

01:08:49Excellent. Care to dance?

01:08:51Certainly.

01:08:55Well, well, well, well.

01:09:00Look at the happy couple.

01:09:04Look at the happy couple.

01:09:11How did you get in?

01:09:12Oh, I have my ways.

01:09:14We lied about our names on the guest list.

01:09:17Anyway.

01:09:21I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.

01:09:25You need to leave.

01:09:27Actually, I don't think I do.

01:09:29Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.

01:09:32She's Valentina Kingsley.

01:09:34No, no, no.

01:09:36There is no Valentina Kingsley.

01:09:39What?

01:09:41If only your little assistant had assisted you in researching her.

01:09:46You know, it's funny.

01:09:47I haven't actually seen her all night.

01:09:51Blaine, don't listen to him.

01:09:53What is he talking about?

01:09:55Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here.

01:10:00But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.

01:10:15Ariel?

01:10:30This whole time, you've been Valentina?

01:10:32That's right.

01:10:34This whole time, you pretended to care about me.

01:10:38But you're just a liar.

01:10:40And worse, she's poor.

01:10:44Why?

01:10:45Yes, Ariel.

01:10:47But why?

01:10:49I'm so sorry.

01:10:51Ariel.

01:10:52Ariel, wait.

01:10:54How embarrassing.

01:10:57You know, I looked into you.

01:11:01You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here.

01:11:06How preposterous.

01:11:08If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.

01:11:11Ew.

01:11:13You're poor?

01:11:16Regina!

01:11:22You're my hero.

01:11:24Thanks.

01:11:25Sometimes I just gotta tell her.

01:11:27You know?

01:11:31Ariel!

01:11:41What are you smiling about?

01:11:43I mean, come on.

01:11:45This proves it, right?

01:11:47He's a joke.

01:11:49No, he's your brother, Martina.

01:11:52He's a liability, Richard.

01:11:54And you are giving him the company with the luxury of not having to deal with this shit show

01:11:58because you won't be alive much longer.

01:12:00Oh, well, don't bet on that.

01:12:02You know, you've got a lot of nerve talking to me like this, kid.

01:12:07You've got a lot of nerve letting this ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.

01:12:12I should be running this company!

01:12:15Or is this what success looks like to you?

01:12:20Look, I'm not poor.

01:12:22I don't want to hear it.

01:12:24I do not want to hear it.

01:12:26You lied to me. Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me in there.

01:12:30That is fair.

01:12:37Regina!

01:12:49Regina!

01:13:02That was a disaster.

01:13:06I just don't understand.

01:13:08Why would she go through all of that?

01:13:11I don't know.

01:13:13But these scandals are exhausting.

01:13:16Yeah.

01:13:18I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.

01:13:23Right.

01:13:26I got a lot to think about.

01:13:29What do you mean?

01:13:31I mean we may have to take the company in a complete different direction if we're going to gain back the public's trust.

01:13:38You can't be serious.

01:13:40No?

01:13:44Something better happen sooner.

01:13:47I guess much worse.

01:13:50Did she want anything from you?

01:13:53I don't know, Martina.

01:13:55Nothing valuable?

01:13:56Martina, I said I don't...

01:14:18No!

01:14:29Ariel, baby.

01:14:32Oh, you look like you had a rough night.

01:14:36It was a disaster, really.

01:14:39I feel awful.

01:14:41Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, baby.

01:14:45Thanks, Mom.

01:14:47Well, I have something to tell you.

01:14:50Dr. Westfall calls.

01:14:52Are you okay? What's going on?

01:14:54He said that an anonymous donor sent in the funds for me to have my operation.

01:15:01What?

01:15:02I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.

01:15:04Oh, my God.

01:15:09Mom, I'm so happy.

01:15:12I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake.

01:15:15I agree.

01:15:42It's time to celebrate.

01:15:54To the future, darling.

01:16:03Drink. You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.

01:16:09There it is.

01:16:12Doesn't our little prize look nice?

01:16:15People walk in and out of my office having no idea what's in the room with them.

01:16:21Of course, I won't be able to enjoy it too much longer since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.

01:16:28I guess I just feel bad.

01:16:30To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things.

01:16:35Break the rules a little.

01:16:38I guess.

01:16:40Ask any CEO and they'll agree, including your little boy toy.

01:16:46Blaine would never do anything like that.

01:16:49Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?

01:16:55What?

01:16:57All I need is your wiring info and I can send it on over.

01:17:00I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed?

01:17:05I'm sorry, you haven't paid for the surgery yet?

01:17:09No, that's why we're here, isn't it?

01:17:15Darling.

01:17:36Alright, one more drink and we'll start packing up my things.

01:17:46Deal, one more.

01:17:53Anna.

01:17:54Hi, Mr. Lington. May I come in?

01:17:56Sure, come on in.

01:17:58Hi, cutie.

01:18:02Care for a drink?

01:18:03Oh, no. I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.

01:18:06Wait, what was that?

01:18:07Mr. Lington, I have a delivery for you.

01:18:10From who?

01:18:11Ariel.

01:18:17From who?

01:18:18Ariel.

01:18:20I don't want it. Take it back.

01:18:22She said you might say that, but she said that it was very, very important.

01:18:27How important?

01:18:29I don't know, but she did say that it was something so important that she only trusted me to deliver it.

01:18:35So, it must be a big deal.

01:18:51Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

01:18:54Ew, what's happening?

01:18:56What's going on? What does this mean?

01:19:16Oh, Flora.

01:19:17Yes, darling.

01:19:18Your appointment had to leave early. I asked if they wanted her scheduled, but they said no.

01:19:24I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.

01:19:26What was the name?

01:19:30Valentina Kingsley?

01:19:51You're rich.

01:19:52You'll get over it, darling.

01:20:09Oh, what's going on? What does this mean?

01:20:16Thank you for everything.

01:20:23Hannah, did you want to help me with that thing?

01:20:27Yes, let's do that.

01:20:34Can you please get the hell out of my seat?

01:20:41Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this, but it's time.

01:20:53But it's time.

01:21:00To celebrate.

01:21:06You are going to regret this. I promise you that.

01:21:13Geez, what did you do?

01:21:16I don't know, girl, but the way she wears that dress, I don't know.

01:21:20I don't know, girl, but the way she wears that dress, she can step on me any day.

01:21:27See, I knew you could do it. I knew it.

01:21:31You know, your dad would be so proud of you.

01:21:46Dr. Westfall.

01:21:47Oh, hi, Ariel.

01:21:48Is surgery over? How did it go?

01:21:50Yes, we just finished. There were complications.

01:21:53Complications?

01:21:54Yes, but we were able to work through them, and your mother's going to be just fine.

01:21:59Really?

01:22:00Really, yes. In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.

01:22:04She'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.

01:22:10I can't thank you enough.

01:22:11I'm happy to help.

01:22:49Come in, come in.

01:22:53Welcome.

01:22:58Ariel.

01:23:00Mom, why didn't you let me out of bed? The doctor said to stay in after surgery.

01:23:04I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window, and I got kind of excited.

01:23:12Are you hungry? Thirsty?

01:23:15Are you hungry? Thirsty?

01:23:17No, thank you, but thank you.

01:23:19Oh, thank you. Sit down, make yourself comfortable.

01:23:22Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?

01:23:26Oh, of course. I'll just be right over here. Don't mind me.

01:23:41I'm so, so sorry.

01:23:43I, uh, I understand why you did it.

01:23:49And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.

01:23:53Thank you for everything. I don't even know where to start.

01:24:01I'm not looking for an apology.

01:24:04You're not?

01:24:05No.

01:24:07See, I'm still CEO, and I need an assistant.

01:24:11And you're kind of the best in town.

01:24:16I accept.

01:24:18And, uh, still looking for a girlfriend?

01:24:25Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.

01:24:41I love you, Valentina. I mean, Ariel.

01:24:46And that's going to take some getting used to.

01:24:50There aren't any starry rooftop views here, but this is my special place.

01:24:57It's even better.
