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.
00:01:13I 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'm going to win.
00:02:01I don't know.
00:02:03I don't know.
00:02:04I don't know.
00:02:07Are you going to stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:02:19Of course.
00:02:27Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.
00:02:34You're so...
00:02:35Rich?
00:02:37Sexy?
00:02:38Frankly, yes.
00:02:41Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:45Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:47And you are?
00:02:48Lane Ellington, CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:52And this is a successful company?
00:02:55It's not ringing any bells.
00:02:58Waiter?
00:03:00Yes, Mr. Ellington.
00:03:01You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:03:05Yes, of course.
00:03:06If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:03:09Uh, it's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:03:12You want two?
00:03:14Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.
00:03:17Better bring three.
00:03:19Yeah, yes, of course.
00:03:20Right away, sir.
00:03:20And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:03:29I invest.
00:03:31In what?
00:03:33In everything.
00:03:36What am I not investing in?
00:03:39Businesses?
00:03:41Charities?
00:03:41I see.
00:03:44I 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.
00:04:04Hmm.
00:04:05Doesn't surprise me.
00:04:06I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:04:12Um.
00:04:13You've got a little, uh.
00:04:26Kurt?
00:04:27Kurt?
00:04:28What's my manager doing here?
00:04:31Blaine!
00:04:32My business dinner just ended.
00:04:36The presentation for the China branch.
00:04:37Looking good.
00:04:38Amazing.
00:04:39You're the best, Kurt.
00:04:40Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two.
00:04:42Just wanted to say hi.
00:04:44Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:46Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:47Ah, classic.
00:04:49All right, well.
00:04:51You two have fun?
00:04:57I've got to be honest with you.
00:04:59You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.
00:05:05Would you like to come to my place?
00:05:07I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:05:10Absolutely, darling.
00:05:18Whoa.
00:05:20Welcome to my home.
00:05:23After you.
00:05:29Oh, my.
00:05:50You like what you say?
00:05:53You're getting there, darling.
00:05:55Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:58Well, then.
00:06:00Shall we get started?
00:06:04Uh, not so fast.
00:06:07Okay.
00:06:08A little foreplay?
00:06:09I did not think this or 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.
00:06:25I 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?
00:06:46Patience, darling.
00:06:47I'm building the suspense.
00:06:50Ah, I see.
00:06:51Where could it be?
00:06:54Right.
00:06:54And...
00:06:55You say guys actually like this?
00:06:57Oh, yes.
00:06:58It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:07:05How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:07:12That's...
00:07:12That's new.
00:07:16The painting!
00:07:18Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:07:19Oh, uh...
00:07:21Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:07:24It looks exactly like...
00:07:25The one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:07:29It's where I keep my safe.
00:07:31Huh.
00:07:32People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:07:35Thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:38Uh, no.
00:07:38It's quite popular.
00:07:41Where do you hide your...
00:07:42Luxurious safekeepings?
00:07:44In 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!
00:08:08Wait!
00:08:14Untie me!
00:08:19Ew.
00:08:20Really, Blaine?
00:08:22What?
00:08:23You 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.
00:08:37The other girls, they're so boring.
00:08:41But this one, she's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:08:45I must see her again.
00:08:46Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:50It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.
00:08:57Grandfather.
00:08:58Hmm?
00:08:59Listen to him.
00:09:00He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:09:02I am much more qualified.
00:09:03Oh, yeah.
00:09:06I'm done having this conversation.
00:09:07I'm done with you, dear.
00:09:08No, no, no, no, no.
00:09:11Look, you two agree you were right where you are.
00:09:13Right?
00:09:14Yeah, you were meant to be some CEO.
00:09:17No, but Blaine, when we learn in time?
00:09:21Whatever.
00:09:23Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:09:25Blaine, I have actual work to attend to.
00:09:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:33Thanks.
00:09:40Hello?
00:09:41How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:43To perfection.
00:09:48She already has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:50It won't be long until he flips up, and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:57Brilliant.
00:09:58It's all coming together perfectly.
00:10:00And the VR tech you're developing.
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, I think I know who'd be perfect as your new assistant.
00:10:29Sorry.
00:10:30I'm fine.
00:10:33Ariel.
00:10:33How does he know my name?
00:10:36You dropped your badge.
00:10:44There you go.
00:10:46Thanks.
00:10:53She's amazing.
00:10:57Are you playing hide-and-seek?
00:10:58Is that where you were late?
00:10:59Can I hide next?
00:11:00No, I was dropping my mom off at the hospital.
00:11:02Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:11:05Wait, oh my God, is she okay?
00:11:07Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:11:08She's just getting some tests done.
00:11:10Oh, thank goodness.
00:11:12Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:11:14Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:11:17Are you going to apply?
00:11:18I'm good where I am.
00:11:19But all the girls are applying.
00:11:20Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:11:22You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:11:24I think this position is yours.
00:11:35He's gorgeous.
00:11:37I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:11:42Attention, everyone.
00:11:42My 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.
00:11:55And since he is adjusting to this new role, I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:12:01Not me, not me, not me.
00:12:03Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:12:06All right, everyone, back to work.
00:12:19You 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.
00:12:44Uh, first thing I need help with, if there's this file...
00:12:48Oh, uh, gotta take a phone call.
00:12:50Send it to me in an email.
00:12:55Ariel, he wants to meet you again.
00:12:58Really?
00:12:59Also, I got you a second number.
00:13:01Just 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. Westfall.
00:13:21We just got your mother's results.
00:13:23It's not what we hoped.
00:13:29So we need to move quickly if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:13:34Okay, I understand.
00:13:36I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:13:39Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:51I just finished dinner.
00:13:53Mom, you should be in bed.
00:13:55Honey, I'm fine.
00:13:57Besides, you've been working all day.
00:13:58You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:14:00Mom, please.
00:14:01Honey, sit down.
00:14:02The doctor called?
00:14:14He says it's gotten worse.
00:14:16Shh, shh, shh.
00:14:17Hush.
00:14:18None of that doc, okay?
00:14:20Mom, eat before your food gets cold.
00:14:23I'll be right back.
00:14:39It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:41Are you ready?
00:14:44Yeah.
00:14:47Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:49I'll make it to go.
00:15:06Oh, where am I?
00:15:12Valentina!
00:15:14Blaine!
00:15:16Darling.
00:15:17What 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.
00:15:37Honey, Mora.
00:15:39We're almost there.
00:15:40Come on.
00:15:47Wow.
00:16:06Did 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.
00:16:18You finally tried?
00:16:20Yeah.
00:16:21I've been thrown into the CEO position, and I'm a bit in over my head, so I never really
00:16:29get a chance to myself, except when I come here.
00:16:31I'm so sorry.
00:16:33I'm so sorry.
00:16:41My mom is sick.
00:16:46She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:49I'm so sorry.
00:16:50I'm so sorry.
00:16:51I'm sorry.
00:16:52I'm so sorry.
00:16:53You know how it feels, too.
00:16:55You want to get away?
00:16:57Yeah.
00:16:59I'm used to getting everything, but this is one thing that money can't buy.
00:17:05I'm so 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.
00:17:15Hey, who's out here?
00:17:31What's happening?
00:17:33Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:17:35What?
00:17:35Ron.
00:17:36Hey!
00:17:47Still!
00:17:52What was that?
00:17:54That was fun.
00:17:56Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that is interest?
00:17:58No.
00:17:59I suppose not.
00:18:00I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:18:07I feel like I can be myself around you.
00:18:11I 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 for my mom's surgery.
00:18:27I'd love to.
00:18:29Yeah.
00:18:30Well, well, well.
00:18:35Martina, what are you doing here?
00:18:38I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:18:42Had to see it for myself.
00:18:44Well, that blind date went so well the other night,
00:18:47it got me thinking maybe grandfather was right.
00:18:50Is that so?
00:18:52Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:18:54That's right.
00:18:55Wow.
00:18:57What's she like?
00:18:57She's funny, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable.
00:19:04She's the whole package.
00:19:05Sounds like one that dad actually would have approved of.
00:19:09I'd love to meet her.
00:19:12Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington.
00:19:14Is this about time?
00:19:15No, not at all.
00:19:16My sister just came to visit.
00:19:18Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:19:22Martina, nice to meet you.
00:19:23Well, likewise.
00:19:24Glad to see my brother as someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:19:28Don't you worry.
00:19:29I got this.
00:19:30Well, after you lost the keys to the Maserati,
00:19:33I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new AI tech that we need.
00:19:36I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati.
00:19:38And don't you worry.
00:19:39I've got the codes right here on this drive.
00:19:43And I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:44Glad to hear you're doing that.
00:19:59I have wasted enough time.
00:20:03Now you know exactly where it is.
00:20:05Get it.
00:20:14All right, where's that drive?
00:20:22Are you kidding?
00:20:23There's nothing in here.
00:20:37They're coming in.
00:20:39Crap.
00:20:40How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:20:44You don't have to twist my arm.
00:20:46You don't have to twist my arm.
00:20:48No, no, no.
00:20:56Oh, yeah.
00:21:01Sarah, cheers.
00:21:02Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:21:07Right.
00:21:08Right, right.
00:21:09After that.
00:21:10Yeah.
00:21:14That was close.
00:21:25Hey, girlfriend.
00:21:27Can I ask your advice on something?
00:21:29Sure.
00:21:29What's going on?
00:21:30So I have this friend who is having boy problems.
00:21:34Aren't we all?
00:21:35So she has a crush on her boss, and she doesn't know what to do about it because of the whole
00:21:39workplace relationship thing.
00:21:41How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:21:42Wait, I don't like Blaine.
00:21:45But he deserves to know, though, right?
00:21:47You're going to tell him?
00:21:48I mean, I don't know, because what if I tell Kurt I like him, and he doesn't like me, and
00:21:52then it's so totally awkward, and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.
00:21:56Wait, you like Kurt?
00:21:58I gotta go.
00:22:00Wait, uh, ring, ring.
00:22:02Oh, I'm getting a good call.
00:22:04Ring, ring.
00:22:06Ring, ring.
00:22:07Ring, ring.
00:22:08Ring, ring.
00:22:11Ariel.
00:22:12Yes, Mr. Ellington?
00:22:14I need your personal help.
00:22:16Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:22:18I've never gotten a girl a gift.
00:22:30Wow, really?
00:22:31Um, I mean, yeah.
00:22:34First girlfriend, first gift.
00:22:36Checks out.
00:22:37So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:48Oh, my God, I'm going to be wearing that?
00:22:56Sorry.
00:22:58Uh, your girlfriend's going to be wearing that?
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:02It's pretty nice, right?
00:23:03Well, I mean, it's option one.
00:23:06You think she'll like it?
00:23:08Um, well, what's her girlfriend like?
00:23:12What are her tastes?
00:23:15Um, sophisticated.
00:23:18Generous, gorgeous.
00:23:20The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.
00:23:26I see.
00:23:28So, keep that in mind.
00:23:31Option two.
00:23:36And that's even more revealing than the first one.
00:23:39Yeah.
00:23:40This is big in Europe.
00:23:41Between you and me, I'm rooting for this guy.
00:23:44Mm-hmm.
00:23:45I see.
00:23:45Do you have anything more modest?
00:23:51Huh.
00:23:51Modest?
00:23:52Yeah.
00:23:53That seems to be the style I've been seeing these days.
00:23:57Uh, with the rich folk.
00:23:59At least.
00:24:00You know, now that you say it's...
00:24:02I think I do have something.
00:24:09Uh-huh.
00:24:13What do you think?
00:24:15I think she'd really like that.
00:24:16Can I have a margarita?
00:24:26You can't be serious, darling.
00:24:29She'll have a friend 75 with Konya.
00:24:32Flora, what are you doing here?
00:24:33Making sure you look the part.
00:24:36You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?
00:24:39Yes, more than anything.
00:24:40Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize.
00:24:44We need to get our hands on that code fast.
00:24:47Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery.
00:24:49But until then, we're in this together.
00:24:52Yes?
00:24:54Yeah.
00:24:56Excellent.
00:24:56Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:59Make him even more vulnerable and get him to tell me where the code is.
00:25:04And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:25:06Um, be nice?
00:25:13Your ignorance is both cute and annoying.
00:25:17No.
00:25:19A man like Blaine Ellington is going to become vulnerable from two things.
00:25:23drinking with him
00:25:25and going to bed with him.
00:25:29Right.
00:25:31I can do that.
00:25:33I hope so.
00:25:34Because he's coming this way.
00:25:38Get the code soon, honey.
00:25:41For 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?
00:25:59Wonderful, love.
00:26:00I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:26:02Is that so?
00:26:03Indeed.
00:26:05I was so distracted.
00:26:08It affected my croquet score.
00:26:10Oh, no.
00:26:10Distracted over little old me.
00:26:12Yes.
00:26:13I simply must know everything about you.
00:26:16Well, what would you like to know?
00:26:19Everything.
00:26:20Well,
00:26:21I don't know about everything.
00:26:23It might take some time for me to open up.
00:26:25Well,
00:26:26maybe after a few drinks.
00:26:29Only if you can keep up.
00:26:31See,

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 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.
00:46:45You 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.
00:47:00You seem extra happy today.
00:47:16I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole nother level last night.
00:47:22Wow.
00:47:23That's awesome, man.
00:47:24I'm so happy for you.
00:47:26Hi, Mr. Ellington.
00:47:27Hi, Kurt.
00:47:28Hi, Anna.
00:47:29Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:47:33Kurt?
00:47:35Sorry.
00:47:35What are we talking about?
00:47:40Hi, Ariel.
00:47:42You all right?
00:47:43Yeah, I'm all right.
00:47:45Um, I actually had an idea about the Cherry Bowl.
00:47:50Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:47:56I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:59Where?
00:48:00I was thinking your house.
00:48:06Uh, I don't really...
00:48:09We could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:48:12Let's do it.
00:48:13Great.
00:48:14I'll send out the invitations.
00:48:19She really knows his company, inside and out.
00:48:22What do you know about Ariel?
00:48:26What do you want to know?
00:48:40Here you go, Mom.
00:48:42I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:48:45I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:47That's okay.
00:48:48We can watch it next weekend.
00:48:50Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:48:53Mom, you are my friend.
00:48:56People your age.
00:48:58Who you can be out dancing with.
00:49:00Flirting with boys.
00:49:03I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:49:06What?
00:49:06What's he like?
00:49:09It's complicated.
00:49:11Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:49:14Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:49:19Oh.
00:49:24Sweetie, I'm fine.
00:49:27I just need some rest.
00:49:28Okay.
00:49:29And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.
00:49:51I'm dreading giving this speech.
00:49:55I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:49:59I always thought that was a little pervy, but...
00:50:02I promise.
00:50:04You're going to be amazing.
00:50:05Thank you so much for helping with this.
00:50:10This charity ball idea was genius.
00:50:13I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:50:16I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:50:21Well, I should get going.
00:50:23Wait, um...
00:50:25I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:50:27Make sure the dress fits.
00:50:31I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:50:33All right.
00:50:34Good night.
00:50:35Hello, darling.
00:50:48I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:50:52It's perfect.
00:50:53I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:50:56I can't wait either, darling.
00:50:59Good night.
00:51:05Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:51:24Thanks, Kurt.
00:51:25You're looking sharp.
00:51:26Oh, yeah.
00:51:27Well, got to dress to impress, you know?
00:51:29Are you trying to impress anyone?
00:51:33Nah.
00:51:35Listen, random.
00:51:37Does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:51:40I don't think so.
00:51:43Do you like her?
00:51:45No.
00:51:45No.
00:51:46No.
00:51:46No.
00:51:47No.
00:51:48I'm just trying to make friendly conversation.
00:51:52Yeah.
00:51:52We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:51:58Oh.
00:52:00You're still here.
00:52:01Yeah.
00:52:02Uh, listen.
00:52:03If someone were to ask Hannah to dance, what do you think the chances are that she would
00:52:11say yes?
00:52:14Probably good.
00:52:14Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:52:17No.
00:52:18No.
00:52:19No, no, no, no, no.
00:52:20No, I'm just, um, a fan of wild hypothetical scenarios.
00:52:26That one just sprung to mind.
00:52:28Mm-hmm.
00:52:29Okay.
00:52:31Yep.
00:52:33Um, well, I'm going to go help Blaine practice his speech.
00:52:41So, I'm going to do that right now.
00:52:45I will see you later.
00:52:46All right.
00:52:47See ya.
00:52:49And you must be Ariel.
00:52:54Yes.
00:52:55Hi.
00:52:58Hmm.
00:52:59You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:53:02He has?
00:53:03Oh, yes, yes.
00:53:04In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:53:09I suppose so.
00:53:11Wonderful.
00:53:13Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:53:19Wow.
00:53:19That's such an honor.
00:53:21I heard he was a great man.
00:53:23He was a great man.
00:53:26Martina.
00:53:27Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:53:31Yes, briefly.
00:53:32She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.
00:53:36Man, yes, she has.
00:53:37In fact, I can, uh, I can see her playing a bigger role than Ellington if she keeps it up.
00:53:44Why wait?
00:53:44She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:47Really?
00:53:48I think so.
00:53:50Don't you, Ariel?
00:53:52Uh, uh-huh.
00:53:54Amazing.
00:53:56Well, I can't wait.
00:54:02Me either.
00:54:03Come on.
00:54:15I don't know.
00:54:45I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:54:46Here I am.
00:54:48Have you seen Valentina?
00:54:50No, I don't think so.
00:54:52About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:54:56Um, no.
00:54:57No, I don't think so.
00:54:59In fact...
00:55:00What?
00:55:02Nothing.
00:55:03Great.
00:55:04I'll get right on that.
00:55:06Bye.
00:55:09After his speech, then we're back to finding the drive.
00:55:13Okay.
00:55:13Okay, you can do this.
00:55:17Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:55:21Uh, he must be mistaken, love.
00:55:24I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:55:28Yeah, okay.
00:55:30Ariel.
00:55:30No, seriously.
00:55:33My name is Valentina Kingsley, and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:55:37Oh, I get it.
00:55:39It's like one of those improv games or something.
00:55:42No, no, no.
00:55:43No game.
00:55:44My name is...
00:55:45Who else should I be?
00:55:48Just be yourself.
00:55:49So, I'm the Queen of England.
00:55:54You can really tell it's me?
00:55:56Well, yeah.
00:55:57But, I mean, I can be very observant.
00:56:00Really?
00:56:01Mm-hmm.
00:56:02Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:56:06Okay.
00:56:07Can I ask why?
00:56:09Well, it's really complicated.
00:56:12Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:56:16Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:56:19Yeah, sure.
00:56:20Aw.
00:56:21Well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:56:25Yeah, thanks.
00:56:29I'm gonna need it.
00:56:51Ah, there you are, darling.
00:56:53Ah, Valentina.
00:56:54I'm so glad to see you.
00:56:56Look at this place.
00:56:58I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:57:01I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:57:03Of course.
00:57:04You're doing a speech, I see.
00:57:06Well, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:57:09They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:57:12You make me feel so confident.
00:57:15I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:57:18Of course.
00:57:25Okay, perfect.
00:57:27Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside.
00:57:30I must go speak with her.
00:57:31Ah, Valentina.
00:57:33I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:57:38Yes.
00:57:39I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:57:44Great.
00:57:44Where would this be taking place?
00:57:47In the study or...?
00:57:49Upstairs.
00:57:50Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:57:53Ah, I see.
00:57:56You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:58:02What the heck did I say?
00:58:05I'll give you hints.
00:58:06If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:58:12I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:58:16Good luck, darling.
00:58:25Excuse me.
00:58:42What are you doing in here?
00:58:49Excuse me.
00:58:50What are you doing in here?
00:58:52Um...
00:58:53And who are you?
00:58:55Oh, um...
00:58:57Um, I...
00:58:59I, um...
00:59:00You look lost.
00:59:03I am, darling.
00:59:05I am lost.
00:59:07I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:59:12Grandfather?
00:59:13Yes?
00:59:13This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:59:18Oh, yes, yes.
00:59:20From the front page of the Times.
00:59:22Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:59:23I hope it was all good things.
00:59:26Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.
00:59:33And I trust that Blaine is, uh, treating you respectfully, like a lady.
00:59:40She is.
00:59:41Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.
00:59:43If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.
00:59:48Right.
00:59:51Good thing.
00:59:53Shall we return to the party?
00:59:55Yes, we shall.
00:59:57Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
01:00:00You too, sir.
01:00:01You seem quiet.
01:00:24Is there anything wrong in it?
01:00:25Everything's fine, darling.
01:00:28Hey, Valentina.
01:00:29I have a girl question for you.
01:00:35Oh, my God.
01:00:36For the love of God.
01:00:38You clearly have a crush on Hannah.
01:00:39Just ask her to dance.
01:00:41You just met me.
01:00:42You can already tell.
01:00:43Yes.
01:00:45You read me like a book.
01:00:47I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:00:49You're really inquisitive.
01:00:51In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:00:54Would you?
01:00:55That would be great.
01:00:57Dude.
01:01:02Hannah, I need a favor.
01:01:04Anything.
01:01:05When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
01:01:08If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
01:01:10And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.
01:01:15Got it.
01:01:17Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:01:20Really?
01:01:21Sorry.
01:01:23When?
01:01:24Tonight.
01:01:25Oh, right.
01:01:26It's a ball.
01:01:26Oh, right.
01:01:26It's a ball.
01:01:37It's time, brother.
01:01:48You ready?
01:01:49It's ready as I'll ever be.
01:01:55Thank you for coming tonight.
01:01:57It means a lot.
01:01:59Of course.
01:02:01You're going to be amazing.
01:02:02You're going to be amazing.
01:02:07Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.
01:02:13It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend, your CEO of Ellington Incorporated,
01:02:21Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:02:23Good evening, everyone.
01:02:30I want to, before we get started, thank two people who, without their help, none of this would have happened tonight.
01:02:38My assistant, Ariel, and my girlfriend, Valentina.
01:02:46Not sure where they are right now, but I want to thank them for having my back.
01:02:53Hi, Anna.
01:02:58Oh, hi.
01:02:59You haven't seen Valentina around, have you?
01:03:02I wanted to try to find her so she can watch Blaine's speech.
01:03:06Valentina is sick, and Ariel was helping her get medicine.
01:03:11Oh, okay.
01:03:14Um, you look, you look really pretty, by the way.
01:03:19Thanks.
01:03:20You look really pretty, too.
01:03:44All right, time to find this code.
01:03:46Blaine mentioned something I said?
01:04:07What the heck did I say?
01:04:12It's a pain experience.
01:04:13So, tonight, I'm pledging $10 million to help research cures for illnesses and disorders unknown.
01:04:36Blaine, thank you all for coming.
01:04:37Thank you all for coming.
01:04:38I hope to see you on the dance floor.
01:04:41I'm sorry, Mom.
01:04:42I'm sorry, Mom.
01:04:43I failed you.
01:04:44I failed you.
01:04:45I'm sorry, Mom.
01:04:46I failed you.
01:04:48I failed you.
01:04:53I failed you.
01:05:03I love you.
01:05:33I'll give you hints.
01:05:36If you were to look for it,
01:05:38you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
01:05:43He wasn't talking about the painting.
01:05:48He was talking about me.
01:06:03He was talking about me.
01:06:33He was talking about me.
01:06:39Okay.
01:06:44Think, Ariel.
01:06:56What could the numbers be?
01:06:59It couldn't be our first date, could it?
01:07:03I've got the code.
01:07:30Excellent, darling.
01:07:32I'll give it to you after the ball.
01:07:34Or you could give it to me now.
01:07:38Flora?
01:07:43What are you doing here?
01:07:44I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be.
01:07:48Just like you, apparently.
01:07:52The code, darling.
01:07:53The future.
01:07:58In the palm of my hand.
01:08:03I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:08:05Link's a good man.
01:08:08Link's a good man.
01:08:09You're awful.
01:08:11He's rich, darling.
01:08:12He'll get over it.
01:08:14My mom?
01:08:16And her surgery?
01:08:16I've been accused of many things.
01:08:20But I always keep my word.
01:08:23Now, go and celebrate.
01:08:25You deserve it, darling.
01:08:25You deserve it, darling.
01:08:31Oh, yeah.
01:08:53Valentina.
01:08:54Hi, darling.
01:08:54There you are.
01:08:56How are you feeling?
01:08:58Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:09:01Excellent.
01:09:02Care to dance?
01:09:04Certainly.
01:09:07Well, well, well, well.
01:09:12Look at the happy couple.
01:09:19How did you get in?
01:09:20Oh, I have my ways.
01:09:22We lied.
01:09:23About our names on the guest list.
01:09:26Anyway, I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:09:33You need to leave.
01:09:35Actually, I don't think I do.
01:09:37Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:09:41She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:09:42No, no, no.
01:09:44There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:09:48What?
01:09:48If only your little assistant had assisted you
01:09:52in researching her.
01:09:54You know, it's funny.
01:09:55I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:09:59Lane, don't listen to him.
01:10:01What is he talking about?
01:10:02Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here.
01:10:08But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:10:12Ariel?
01:10:23Ariel?
01:10:24Ariel?
01:10:24This whole time, you've been Valentina?
01:10:40That's right.
01:10:42This whole time, you pretended to care about me.
01:10:46But you're just a liar.
01:10:47And worse, she's poor.
01:10:52Why?
01:10:53Yes, Ariel.
01:10:55But why?
01:10:57I'm so sorry.
01:10:59Ariel.
01:10:59Ariel, wait.
01:11:02How embarrassing.
01:11:03You know, I looked into you.
01:11:09You're in so much debt that it's surprising
01:11:11that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here.
01:11:14How preposterous.
01:11:16If anybody looks into that,
01:11:17it will be a complete waste of time.
01:11:20Ew.
01:11:21You're poor?
01:11:24Regina!
01:11:25Regina!
01:11:25You're my hero.
01:11:32Thanks.
01:11:33Sometimes I just gotta tell him no.
01:11:39Ariel!
01:11:49What are you smiling about?
01:11:51I mean, come on.
01:11:53This proves it, right?
01:11:55He's a joke.
01:11:57No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:12:00He's a liability, Richard.
01:12:02And you are giving him the company
01:12:03with the luxury of not having to deal with this shit show
01:12:05because you won't be alive much longer.
01:12:07Oh, I don't bet on that.
01:12:10You know, you've got a lot of nerve
01:12:11talking to me like this kid.
01:12:14You've got a lot of nerve
01:12:16letting this ship go down
01:12:17when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:12:19I should be running this company!
01:12:21Or
01:12:23is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:30Look, I'm not poor.
01:12:31I don't want to hear it.
01:12:32I do not want to hear it.
01:12:35You lied to me.
01:12:35Not only did you lie to me,
01:12:36but you embarrassed me.
01:12:37No, I didn't.
01:12:38That is fair.
01:12:39Regina!
01:12:43Regina!
01:12:44Regina!
01:12:46That was a disaster
01:13:11I just don't understand
01:13:16Why would she go through all that?
01:13:19I don't know
01:13:19But
01:13:21These scandals are exhausting
01:13:23Yeah
01:13:25I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon
01:13:28Right
01:13:31I got a lot to think about
01:13:36What do you mean?
01:13:38I mean
01:13:39We may have to take the company in a complete different direction
01:13:42If we're going to gain back the public's trust
01:13:44You can't be serious
01:13:47No
01:13:48Something better happen sooner
01:13:53I guess much worse
01:13:56Did she want anything from you?
01:14:00I don't know, Martina
01:14:02Nothing valuable?
01:14:04Martina, I said I don't
01:14:05No!
01:14:28Ariel, baby.
01:14:41Oh, you look like you had a rough night.
01:14:45It was a disaster, really.
01:14:48I feel awful.
01:14:49Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, baby.
01:14:53Thanks, Mom.
01:14:55Well, I have something to tell you.
01:14:58Dr. Westphal called.
01:15:00Are you okay? What's going on?
01:15:02He said that an anonymous donor sent in the funds for me to have my operation.
01:15:09What?
01:15:10I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.
01:15:12Oh, my God.
01:15:14Mom.
01:15:17Mom, I'm so happy.
01:15:19I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake.
01:15:23I agree.
01:15:28I agree.
01:15:31I agree.
01:15:32Yeah.
01:15:34I agree.
01:15:35I agree.
01:15:38I agree.
01:15:40I agree.
01:15:42It's time to celebrate
01:16:00To the future, darling
01:16:11Drink
01:16:12You've worked much too hard
01:16:13Not to revel in your victory
01:16:15There it is
01:16:20Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:16:24People walk in and out of my office
01:16:26Having no idea
01:16:28What's in the room with them
01:16:29Of course, I won't be able
01:16:32To enjoy it too much longer
01:16:33Since my programmer
01:16:35Is going to pick it up tonight
01:16:36I guess I just feel bad
01:16:38To get what you want in life
01:16:41Sometimes you have to do bold things
01:16:43Break the rules a little
01:16:45I guess
01:16:48Ask any CEO
01:16:50And they'll agree
01:16:52Including your little boy toy
01:16:54Blaine would never do anything like that
01:16:57Well, anyway
01:16:58Speaking of money
01:17:00Let's get that surgery paid for
01:17:03Shall we?
01:17:04What?
01:17:05All I need is your wiring info
01:17:07And I can send it on over
01:17:08I trust that the original estimate
01:17:12Hasn't changed
01:17:13I'm sorry
01:17:14You haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:17:18No
01:17:18That's why we're here, isn't it?
01:17:20Darlene
01:17:24Darlene
01:17:24Sorry
01:17:49One more drink
01:17:51And we'll start packing up my things
01:17:53Deal
01:17:55One more
01:17:56Anna
01:18:01Hi, Mr. Ellington
01:18:03May I come in?
01:18:04Sure
01:18:04Come on in
01:18:05Hi, cutie
01:18:07Care for a drink?
01:18:11Oh, no
01:18:12I stopped drinking on the job ages ago
01:18:13Wait, what was that?
01:18:15Mr. Ellington
01:18:16I have a delivery for you
01:18:18From who?
01:18:20Ariel
01:18:20From who?
01:18:26Ariel
01:18:27You said you might say that
01:18:29But she said that it was very, very important
01:18:31How important?
01:18:33She did say that it was something so important
01:18:35That she only trusted me to deliver it
01:18:37So
01:18:37Must be a big deal
01:18:39Oh, my God
01:18:54Oh, my God
01:18:56Ew
01:18:57What's happening?
01:18:58What's going on?
01:18:59What does this mean?
01:19:00Oh, Flora?
01:19:19Yes, darling
01:19:20Uh, your appointment had to leave early
01:19:22I asked if they wanted to schedule
01:19:24But they said no
01:19:25I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today
01:19:28What was the name?
01:19:32Valentina Kingsley
01:19:33You're rich
01:19:53You'll get over it
01:19:55Darling
01:19:56Oh, what's going on?
01:20:13What does this mean?
01:20:18Thank you
01:20:19For everything
01:20:20Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh
01:20:28That one
01:20:28The thing?
01:20:29Yes
01:20:29Yes
01:20:30Let's, uh
01:20:30Let's do that
01:20:31Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:20:44Lane
01:20:44There's no easy way for me to say this
01:20:47But it's time
01:20:51But it's time
01:21:00To celebrate
01:21:07Oh, my God
01:21:09You are going to regret this
01:21:13I promise you that
01:21:14Geez
01:21:19What did you do?
01:21:21I don't know, girl
01:21:22But the way she wears that dress
01:21:24She can step on me
01:21:26Any day
01:21:27Let me see
01:21:29I knew you could do it
01:21:31I knew it
01:21:31You know
01:21:33Your dad would be so proud of you
01:21:37Dr. Westfall
01:21:49Oh, hi, Ariel
01:21:50Is surgery over?
01:21:51How did it go?
01:21:52Yes, we just finished
01:21:53Um, there were complications
01:21:55Well
01:21:55Complications?
01:21:56Yes, but
01:21:57We were able to work through them
01:21:58And your mother's going to be just fine
01:22:00Really?
01:22:02Yeah, really, yes
01:22:03In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now
01:22:06She's going to need to rest for a few hours
01:22:08But when she wakes up
01:22:09She's going to feel better than she has in a long time
01:22:12I can't thank you enough
01:22:13I'm happy to help
01:22:14Thank you
01:22:44Come in, come in.
01:22:58Welcome.
01:23:03Ariel.
01:23:05Mom, why didn't you leave out of bed?
01:23:07The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:23:10I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy
01:23:12through the window, and I got kind of excited.
01:23:17Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:23:19No, thank you, but thank you.
01:23:20Oh, thank you.
01:23:22Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:23:24Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:23:28Oh, of course.
01:23:31I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:23:42I'm so, so sorry.
01:23:45I, uh, I understand why you did it.
01:23:51And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:23:55Thank you for everything.
01:23:57I don't even know where to start.
01:24:00I'm not looking for an apology.
01:24:06You're not?
01:24:07No.
01:24:09See, I'm still CEO, and I need an assistant.
01:24:14And you're kind of the best in town.
01:24:18I accept.
01:24:19And, uh, you're still looking for a girlfriend.
01:24:27Mom, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:24:32I love you, Valentina.
01:24:47I mean, Ariel.
01:24:50That's gonna take some getting used to.
01:24:53There aren't any starry rooftop views here.
01:24:57Oh.
01:24:58This is my special place.
01:25:01It's even better.
01:25:04It's her best.
