00:11:21Hey, I...
00:11:23I'm sorry, you go.
00:11:25I just wanted to apologize for Ruby's clumsiness.
00:11:29You know, divorces can be hard.
00:11:31I needed to get the stride cleaned anyway.
00:11:33Oh, you should put that on the company account.
00:11:36And I want to let you know that you're doing a really good job here.
00:11:39Thank you, Mr. Armstrong.
00:11:41Yeah, of course.
00:11:44I think I know where I know you from.
00:11:48You do?
00:11:49Yes, Va Tech.
00:11:50I gave a lecture there a couple years ago.
00:11:52I can't believe you remember that.
00:11:55Yeah, Chantelle Perfume No. 5.
00:11:57Is that it?
00:11:59You know, I thought about finding you after that lecture
00:12:01and going to the dorms and banging on some doors.
00:12:05Well, I wish you did.
00:12:07But it might have been frowned upon.
00:12:10You being a lecturer.
00:12:12Maybe some sort of power imbalance.
00:12:15Yeah, I don't think the university would have appreciated
00:12:18me taking advantage of my position.
00:12:22Interesting.
00:12:23I always thought you took risks.
00:12:32Hey, boss.
00:12:33Congrats on the merger.
00:12:36Yeah, I couldn't have done it with everybody in this room,
00:12:38but it's not over yet.
00:12:40But we'll get there soon.
00:12:448 p.m. tonight.
00:12:46He wants me to meet him at the fanciest hotel in the city.
00:13:59I used to work at a carnival. I could guess your weight too, but I'd rather just buy a dress for you.
00:14:08This room must have cost a fortune.
00:14:10Yeah, they tend to comp the room when you own the hotel.
00:14:12I'm used to my wine coming in a box.
00:14:21You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:27No one has ever said that to me, Sebastian.
00:14:30I'm not where I was from.
00:15:00I'm not where I was from.
00:15:05I'm not where I was from.
00:15:09I'm not where I was from.
00:15:10I'm not where I was from.
00:16:33They might be looking to make it a hostile takeover.
00:16:38You're the only person I've told.
00:16:39We both decided to be discreet.
00:16:41Last thing he needs is media attention.
00:16:44It's also the last thing you need with your mom.
00:16:46How is Teresa doing?
00:16:47Better.
00:16:48They say she has one more treatment and hopefully she'll be in remission.
00:16:51That's great news.
00:16:52I really need to keep this job.
00:17:01Are you just going to stand there or are we going to get to work?
00:17:04Do you have any idea what you're doing?
00:17:06We're getting so close to finalizing this merger.
00:17:09Of course I know what I'm doing.
00:17:12Are you just fine, homie?
00:17:30Not me.
00:17:35But somebody is.
00:17:37Those came across my desk earlier today.
00:17:40And I had to pay a pretty good penny to keep them out of the press.
00:17:44I'm not a married man.
00:17:46I can date somebody.
00:17:47Your divorce with Ruby isn't final.
00:17:49She won't sign the papers, Robert.
00:17:51Any way you cut it, Sebastian, it can be a problem.
00:17:55The board is wary of getting into business with another billionaire playboy.
00:18:00They like stability, especially after that one in Gotham went rogue.
00:18:05Maybe it would help to be a happily married man.
00:18:09I don't think that exists.
00:18:12I got news for you, pal.
00:18:14It does.
00:18:1535 years.
00:18:21I wish I could tell the world how I feel about her.
00:18:26But the world finding out about us during my divorce would hurt the merger.
00:18:34We are playing with fire, but I care about him so much, I just can't jeopardize anything.
00:18:48Well, well, well.
00:18:50What do we have here?
00:18:51Oh, excuse me?
00:18:55I'm Lombardi.
00:18:56Bruno Lombardi.
00:18:58Hi, I'm Vanessa, Mr. Armstrong's new assistant.
00:19:02We have so much in common.
00:19:03I'm also new at Armstrong Enterprises.
00:19:05I'm here to dictate the merger.
00:19:07But why talk about work while at work when we can talk about play while we play?
00:19:12What?
00:19:13Happy hour.
00:19:14Teenies only.
00:19:16Teenies?
00:19:17Martinies.
00:19:18Teenies to bikinis.
00:19:19Oh, that's funny.
00:19:24Yeah.
00:19:25What'd you say we get out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini?
00:19:32Are all your pickup lines martini-based?
00:19:34Yeah.
00:19:37Uh.
00:19:39We need to talk.
00:19:42Ruby, I didn't see you on my schedule.
00:19:45Oh, okay.
00:19:46I'm pretty sure I don't need to be on your schedule because I'm your wife.
00:19:50Ex-wife.
00:19:51What do you need?
00:19:52What's the problem?
00:19:53I'm still unhappy with the divorce terms.
00:19:56How can you be unhappy?
00:19:57It's fair.
00:19:58I paid you more than half.
00:20:01I still want you.
00:20:03No baby voice, Ruby.
00:20:06Okay, we're through.
00:20:08Fine.
00:20:08Clearly you don't want me anymore.
00:20:10But I do know that you want me to sign before the merger.
00:20:13The merger has nothing to do with you.
00:20:15What if I wanted to have something to do with me?
00:20:18You are entitled to none of that.
00:20:19We'll see about that.
00:20:23You need to get out of here before I call security.
00:20:25You wouldn't dare.
00:20:31You need to get off.
00:20:32Come on.
00:20:33Out the door.
00:20:42Hey there.
00:20:43Hey, sorry.
00:20:44I'm wiped.
00:20:46I know that you overheard Ruby yelling at me.
00:20:50It's none of my business.
00:20:51It's over between her and I.
00:20:53She does not think so.
00:20:57So, would you like to have dinner with me?
00:21:00I'm not really hungry.
00:21:04You sure about that?
00:21:09I don't think it's a good idea.
00:21:11Look, I know that we've both been under a lot of stress.
00:21:14We can just keep it simple.
00:21:16Have some good food.
00:21:17Take our mind off things.
00:21:18No pressure.
00:21:20He's right.
00:21:20We're both under a lot of stress.
00:21:22But I can't put my stress on him.
00:21:24So, dinner?
00:21:26Keep it simple.
00:21:27Keep it simple.
00:21:28This is simple.
00:21:42You're worth it.
00:21:43I'm worried about the merger.
00:21:52You too.
00:21:53I'm not worried about you closing it.
00:21:55I'm worried about us.
00:21:57Look, it's almost a done deal.
00:21:59All eyes are on you.
00:22:01With this and your divorce, don't you worry that this will make the company think you're unfit?
00:22:06Unfit for what?
00:22:07The merger is just money, and I have money, but I don't have luck.
00:22:14And I want to be with you.
00:22:18I don't know.
00:22:21Why are you so hesitant?
00:22:23I don't know if I can tell him.
00:22:27What's going on?
00:22:28My mom is cancer.
00:22:33She has cancer, and I just need to focus on work right now because her bills are mounting up.
00:22:39You know I can take care of that for you.
00:22:41No, Sebastian, that's not why I'm telling you.
00:22:44I don't want your charity.
00:22:45My mom always taught me to earn everything I get.
00:22:51Well, she sounds like a strong woman.
00:22:54She's the strongest woman I know.
00:22:56I admire you.
00:22:57I don't need to be admired.
00:22:59I need to be understood.
00:23:03Understood.
00:23:05I think we should slow down a little.
00:23:08What are you talking about?
00:23:10Maybe just be friends.
00:23:13I don't think I could just be friends with you.
00:23:16I don't think I can be anything more.
00:23:17I see you.
00:23:33What?
00:23:34I see you.
00:23:35You're a rising star of this company.
00:23:38I am just trying to work here.
00:23:40I don't need any distractions.
00:23:42Let me guess.
00:23:43Your job's a joke.
00:23:44You're broke.
00:23:44Your love life's the OA.
00:23:45It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
00:23:50It hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
00:23:58No.
00:23:58Babe, come on.
00:24:05Release the attention.
00:24:11Maybe this is for the better.
00:24:13I have to get Sebastian to end this.
00:24:15This is the only way.
00:24:17Uh, yeah.
00:24:19That's the spot.

00:32:00look i appreciate your generosity

00:32:10what is it
00:32:11what is it
00:32:12you replace
00:32:13you replace
00:32:14what is it
00:32:15you replace
00:32:16like you. Look, I appreciate your generosity, but as of now, all I'm asking is that we remain
00:32:23boss and secretary. Deal? Deal. Under one condition. What is it?
00:32:37You replace this. Sure. You still have my black Amex card? I never used it. Okay. Well,
00:32:49you need to go down to La Tour Boutique and get yourself another cocktail dress. I'm not going
00:32:54to do that. Well, you need to because I need you to attend a dinner with me. No dates. No,
00:33:04no, it's not a date. Personal assistant, strictly business. You feed me the names of people that I
00:33:10should know. It's boring, but the food is good. So what do you say? Deal? That's my one condition.
00:33:18You really are a good negotiator.
00:33:25You should probably go.
00:33:29Okay.
00:33:34Can I help you?
00:33:40Yes. Yes. I am looking for a dress. Looks like you need a whole new wardrobe.
00:33:45Oh, probably. Sorry. We don't have anything in the hobo casual collection.
00:33:52Oh, I know. I know. I don't usually shop at places like this, but I actually walk by here
00:33:57all the time and stare at that dress in the window. Not to cut you off. I'm pretty busy here.
00:34:02And we only serve to high-end clients.
00:34:07Okay.
00:34:10Maybe I'm in the wrong store. Maybe you are.
00:34:14I should probably go. You should.
00:34:16No, wait just a minute. What is going on here?
00:34:23I don't belong here.
00:34:24Of course you do.
00:34:25Mr. Sebastian Armstrong, welcome.
00:34:27You weren't very welcoming to my friend here.
00:34:29I didn't know she was...
00:34:30That shouldn't matter.
00:34:31You don't have to do this.
00:34:33Yes, I do.
00:34:34You should treat everyone who walks through that door with respect.
00:34:37I'm so sorry, Mr. Armstrong.
00:34:39I'm really sorry.
00:34:40My boyfriend just dumped me and I'm in a terrible mood.
00:34:44It's okay.
00:34:45I actually have those same sneakers that you're wearing.
00:34:47I love them.
00:34:49Also, that dress in the window, I love it too.
00:34:51But I'm jealous because I know it'll look way better on you.
00:34:54Plus, I have at least food.
00:34:56I'm oversharing.
00:34:57Just wrap up the dress.
00:34:59We have a big event to attend to tonight.
00:35:01Sorry, I know that this is a lot.
00:35:22I don't want to let you down.
00:35:25You won't.
00:35:25Just stick with me.
00:35:26I have some cocktail hour negotiating.
00:35:31Oh, God.
00:35:34I didn't realize they let trash in here.
00:35:36Ruby, this isn't the time or the place.
00:35:38Sebastian, you haven't answered any of my phone calls.
00:35:41Our divorce terms are unacceptable.
00:35:43I'm sorry, Ms. Cromwell, but Sebastian is about to give you a speech.
00:35:46I'm sorry.
00:35:46Who the fuck are you?
00:35:48This is a conversation between my husband and I.
00:35:52You mean your ex-husband.
00:35:58Oh!
00:36:01Oh, no, I'm so sorry.
00:36:04I'm such a klutz.
00:36:13And now, ladies and gentlemen, may we present Mr. Sebastian Armstrong.
00:36:19I think it's about time we got legal involved to talk about these terms and details.
00:36:27Before it goes to legal, should I have my guys look at it?
00:36:30Your guys.
00:36:32Just keep taking notes.
00:36:34You're new here, so maybe you can learn a thing or two about negotiating.
00:36:37Pretty sure I could teach you a thing or two.
00:36:39Thank you, Vanessa.
00:36:45Let me know if you need anything else.
00:36:50I need some of that.
00:36:52Damn, she's hot.
00:36:54Nothing wrong with dipping the pen in the company ink.
00:36:57Am I right, boys?
00:36:58I didn't know that you two were an item.
00:37:01There's a lot you don't know about me, Sebby.
00:37:04It's Mr. Armstrong.
00:37:06Oh, so formal.
00:37:08This company needed a little joke like me.
00:37:11Guys, this isn't a pissing contest.
00:37:14Yeah, I know.
00:37:16Because I already got the prize.
00:37:18So, you are dating.
00:37:20I mean, if you call getting freaky in a two-star hotel dating.
00:37:23Come on, keep it classy.
00:37:26You won't be doing anything classy tonight.
00:37:29Respect the workplace.
00:37:31And you chill.
00:37:33You ain't got money like us.
00:37:35Cheap sluts like Vanessa are a dime a dozen.
00:37:41Stop.
00:37:42Stop.
00:37:45You're done.
00:37:46Get out of here.
00:37:47Pack your shit up.
00:37:47We don't do sexual harassment at this company.
00:37:49Okay, big boss man.
00:37:52I'll leave.
00:37:53But you're going to regret this.
00:37:55You have no idea who I am and what I'm capable of.
00:37:59Just leave, son.
00:38:00It's over.
00:38:04Don't worry, Sebastian.
00:38:06I got your back.
00:38:08Back in my day, guys like him would have gotten it much worse.
00:38:12This won't affect our negotiations at all.
00:38:15It's good to be rid of the bad energy in the room.
00:38:19Oh, my God.
00:38:31Vanessa, what's wrong?
00:38:32Someone vandalized my car.
00:38:34What?
00:38:34Are you okay?
00:38:41Stop.
00:38:42There.
00:38:42I can't see their faces.
00:38:50They're wearing masks.
00:38:52The timestamp says it's from this afternoon, so it can't be...
00:38:55Bruno.
00:38:58He was in my office at that time.
00:39:01I'll send this to the authorities.
00:39:03I'm scared.
00:39:04I'll protect you.
00:39:14Oh, there's my sweet daughter.
00:39:16Hi, Doc.
00:39:17How's my mom doing?
00:39:19Hi, Vanessa.
00:39:20Your mother is doing exceptionally well.
00:39:23We couldn't be happier with her results.
00:39:25And as you know, the entire staff loves her.
00:39:27Oh, just trying to make the best of it.
00:39:30Hopefully, this will be her last treatment and send her cancer into remission.
00:39:34The only sad thing is, Ms. Porter won't be brightening up our oncology ward anymore.
00:39:39Stop.
00:39:41I'll leave you, too.
00:39:45How are you, honey?
00:39:46I'm good.
00:39:47Work's really busy.
00:39:49Well, you always manage to keep a handle on everything.
00:39:52I just can't wait to get out of here.
00:39:54Food sucks.
00:39:57Are you okay?
00:39:57You seem a bit distracted.
00:40:00I have to tell you something, Mom.
00:40:01I don't want you to worry.
00:40:03Well, I'm going to worry whether you tell me or not.
00:40:06I think I have a stalker.
00:40:09What?
00:40:09Someone vandalized my car.
00:40:10They wrote a...
00:40:11A bad word.
00:40:13A magic marker.
00:40:14Well, maybe some vinegar or something will help get that off.
00:40:17I know, Mom.
00:40:18I think it was somehow connected to this guy at work.
00:40:20This guy at work, Bruno Lombardi, he has been all over me and is starting to word me out.
00:40:26You said Bruno Lombardi?
00:40:28John Lombardi's son?
00:40:34John Lombardi runs a crime family.
00:40:37Yes.
00:40:38And Bruno is, quote-unquote, heir to that throne.
00:40:43A crime family?
00:40:45Yeah.
00:40:45Your uncle had some running with them years ago.
00:40:48They're thugs.
00:40:49And if Bruno is anything like his father, you want to be swiping left, like the kids say.
00:40:54I think he got fired today.
00:40:56What if he blames me for everything?
00:40:57Kids today, they always want to blame somebody else for their issues.
00:41:01They can't take responsibility.
00:41:03But not my baby girl.
00:41:04The Lombardi crime family accused of racketeering drugs.
00:41:11Human trafficking?
00:41:13Apparently, he's still running the crime family from prison.
00:41:17And he's grooming Bruno to take over.
00:41:20They've got some troubles going on.
00:41:22So, honey, please be careful.
00:41:24I have to warn Sebastian.
00:41:25I have to go, Mom.
00:41:28I love you.
00:41:28I love you.
00:41:28You need a replacement for the whore-mobile.
00:41:51You know I can accept this.
00:41:54You have to.
00:41:55I really can't.
00:41:57Then why not?
00:41:59Sebastian, I'm worried.
00:42:01I found out that Bruno has ties to the mafia.
00:42:06No, our HR fully vetted him.
00:42:09I'm sure there's ways of skirting that.
00:42:11Word is he's being groomed to become head of the crime family.
00:42:14Then why would he want a job here?
00:42:16I don't know.
00:42:16He could be dangerous.
00:42:18Look, you don't need to worry about that anymore.
00:42:21Because I fired him.
00:42:23That's why I'm worried.
00:42:25Look, I have the best security that money can buy.
00:42:28We don't need to be intimidated by people like Bruno.
00:42:32And we need to focus on the good that we can do.
00:42:35And speaking of, I have a charity event that I'd like you to help me out with tonight.
00:42:42Charity?
00:42:42Yes, for cancer research.
00:42:44Oh.
00:42:45I would love to.
00:42:46Hmm?
00:42:47But I don't know.
00:42:48Look, somebody just dropped out last minute.
00:42:50You'd be doing me a big, big favor.
00:42:52It's at the Biltmore Ballroom, 6 p.m. tonight.
00:42:58One condition.
00:43:00Okay.
00:43:00Okay.
00:43:01What?
00:43:01You take the car back.
00:43:09Fine.
00:43:11See you tonight.
00:43:16Damn.
00:43:17He is a good negotiator.
00:43:18You must be the new model.
00:43:33You're on stage in five.
00:43:35On stage?
00:43:37What is this?
00:43:38This is a charity auction.
00:43:39People are going to bid on you for dates.
00:43:41No, no, no, no, no, I can't do this.
00:43:44Are you kidding?
00:43:45This is going to be fun.
00:43:46And it's for a good cause, girl.
00:43:48You wouldn't mind a man bidding on me for a change.
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:50Going looks, going twice, and she is sold to that gentleman over there for $500,000 for a special
00:44:02date.
00:44:02And this is a new charity record for us.
00:44:04Thank you for your generosity, sir.
00:44:05Thank you for your generosity, sir.
00:44:08Oh.
00:44:11What'd you look here?
00:44:13I guess they let anyone into these charity events, don't they?
00:44:16Next on stage, please welcome Vanessa Porter.
00:44:24I just sold for $500,000.
00:44:26Set a new charity record.
00:44:28That crowd, it's going to eat you up.
00:44:30And remember, ladies and gents, your bids will be going towards a very special cause,
00:44:36Cancer Research Labs.
00:44:38Standing next to me is our beautiful last model, Vanessa Porter.
00:44:42The lucky winner will be taking this lovely lady on a date.
00:44:45And just dinner.
00:44:46No funny business.
00:44:48Okay, I'm talking to you, Mr. Wolstein.
00:44:50Mm-hmm.
00:44:51The bidding will start at $300,000.
00:44:55$500,000.
00:44:56$500,000.
00:44:58$600,000.
00:45:00Great, we have $600,000 over there.
00:45:03$700,000.
00:45:05We got seven over here.
00:45:07$800,000.
00:45:08$800,000.
00:45:10$1 million.
00:45:11$1 million.
00:45:15Sir, wow, what an amazing finale.
00:45:22Any other bids?
00:45:23Going once?
00:45:25Going twice?
00:45:28And sold to that gentleman over there for $1 million.
00:45:32What an amazing finale.
00:45:35Beating the previous record of...
00:45:37What's her name?
00:45:38Um, anyway, sir, please come up and claim your prize.
00:45:44This is going to be fun.
00:45:49You cannot go out on that date.
00:45:51It could be dangerous.
00:45:52I don't have a choice.
00:45:55You always have a choice.
00:45:57It's in the next room.
00:45:58It's in a controlled space.
00:46:00Why are you doing this?
00:46:01Because he wants me to back out.
00:46:03He wants to make you look bad.
00:46:06I'm doing this for the charity.
00:46:08It's just dinner in public.
00:46:09It'll be fine.
00:46:12Okay.
00:46:13I trust you.
00:46:15I also want to see what Bruno's up to.
00:46:18What's his game plan?
00:46:24You know, for a winning bet of $1 million,
00:46:26you'd think they'd serve at a hooch.
00:46:28I'd rather be home drinking my wine from a box.
00:46:33We have so much in common.
00:46:36I'd rather be at your home, too.
00:46:38What do you want from me?
00:46:40What are you talking about, baby?
00:46:42I just want to get to know you.
00:46:45Oh, I have been very clear.
00:46:48I am not interested.
00:46:51Don't you know who I am?
00:46:53Oh, I know who you think you are.
00:46:55I paid a lot of money for this date.
00:47:00I mean, Cassini and I can make things very difficult
00:47:02for you and your little boyfriend.
00:47:08You know?
00:47:11This wine ain't that bad.
00:47:18Where are you going?
00:47:20The date ain't over yet, sweetheart.
00:47:22Can a girl use the restroom?
00:47:25Stop playing games, babe.
00:47:37We know what that $1 million bought me.
00:47:39Ah!
00:47:44I'm good, everybody.
00:47:45I'm good.
00:47:46I'm good.
00:47:51Oh.
00:47:51Knock, knock.
00:48:01Hey, how was the date?
00:48:06And, um, who was this from?
00:48:09Uh, from Bruno, with all my love.
00:48:10Thanks for the magical night.
00:48:12Well, I guess that answers that.
00:48:13No, Sebastian, that's...
00:48:15It wasn't...
00:48:15No, no, it's fine.
00:48:16I'm...
00:48:17I have some work I need to be doing now.
00:48:18I'm just throwing this out there,
00:48:30but I think I'm entitled to more like 65%.
00:48:35Yeah, yeah, that sounds fine.
00:48:37Fine?
00:48:38Sebastian, that's robbery.
00:48:40Your head isn't in the game.
00:48:41We need to wrap this up so we can send it before Congress and push this merger through soon.
00:48:47A good negotiation is where both parties walk away equally unhappy.
00:48:52And right now, Sebastian, I'm very happy.
00:49:01That's it, Sebastian.
00:49:03I'm done.
00:49:04It's over.
00:49:07Wait, what do you mean that it's over?
00:49:09We need a break.
00:49:10Listen, why don't we take a long weekend?
00:49:13You can go home and refocus on this merger,
00:49:17and I can spend some time with my grandkids.
00:49:19We've spent every day at this damn office.
00:49:22We can come back on Tuesday and wrap this thing up.
00:49:27Okay.
00:49:28Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
00:49:30Let me...
00:49:31Everyone, listen up.
00:49:34Everyone can have all for the week with pay.
00:49:36Okay.
00:49:40So, do you have any plans for the weekend?
00:49:47How would I?
00:49:48I just found out I have the week off.
00:49:49Hmm, well, I'd like to take you to dinner.
00:49:51Sebastian, I...
00:49:52I can't.
00:49:55But thank you.
00:49:57My mom's still in the hospital, so I have to go visit her.
00:50:00Well, maybe she'd like a box of chocolates.
00:50:02Yeah, maybe she would.
00:50:04Can I come in?
00:50:11Jesus.
00:50:13Fine.
00:50:13I'd love to have a drink, but I can't.
00:50:16Well, no one offered you one.
00:50:17I can't, because I'm pregnant.
00:50:21You're pregnant.
00:50:23I don't know how to tell you this, Sebastian,
00:50:25but you're the father.
00:50:28That's impossible.
00:50:29We broke up three months ago.
00:50:36Can't you tell?
00:50:37I'm three months pregnant.
00:50:39No, no, no.
00:50:39I can't be the father.
00:50:41Okay.
00:50:41Well, I have a paternity test, an ultrasound.
00:50:43Let's see different.
00:50:46Right there.
00:50:59Well, if this is true,
00:51:04then I'm not the type of man
00:51:05that runs from his responsibilities.
00:51:08That's what I love about you.
00:51:09You're so responsible.
00:51:13You need to go.
00:51:15I need time to think, Ruby.
00:51:16Leave that there for you.
00:51:17I don't know how I'm going to tell Vanessa,
00:51:30but I have to be honest with her.
00:51:32I think we got them.
00:51:36I hope so.
00:51:38You riding whore on her car did nothing,
00:51:40and me leaving those photos that I took
00:51:42when I broke into her house also didn't work.
00:51:44Okay, well, I'm still out to Grand
00:51:45for a fake paternity test.
00:51:47I really thought Sebastian hitting me
00:51:49would ruin this merger.
00:51:51Okay, I still want the merger to happen, moron.
00:51:53I just want the divorce to happen after
00:51:55so that I get half.
00:51:57And if that doesn't work,
00:51:58we'll move on to plan C
00:51:59and eliminate Sebastian altogether.
00:52:02I know exactly where he hangs out
00:52:03when he needs time alone.
00:52:05He'll pay for humiliating a Lombardi.
00:52:33That is beautiful and delicious.
00:52:45Who's it from?
00:52:47I hope it's not from Bruno.
00:52:49Oh, my God.
00:52:53If you change your mind,
00:52:54I'm here for you.
00:52:56With all my love, Sebastian.
00:52:58It's a plane ticket
00:53:07to Italy.
00:53:12You must go.
00:53:14I'm not leaving you, Mom.
00:53:16Two tickets.
00:53:26Mom, how are you feeling?
00:53:28I'm feeling like I need to see
00:53:31the Italian countryside
00:53:32and eat some authentic Italian.
00:53:35Looks like we're going to Italy.
00:53:36Yes.
00:53:51Welcome.
00:53:52Hi.
00:53:56Nice to finally meet you.
00:53:57Oh, lovely to meet you, too.
00:53:59Yeah, come on in.
00:54:01So, Miss Porter,
00:54:03how are you doing?
00:54:05Wonderful.
00:54:07Just wonderful.
00:54:08Thank you so much
00:54:09for bringing my daughter
00:54:10and I out here.
00:54:12And that private jet experience,
00:54:14that is the way to travel.
00:54:17And the food was delicious.
00:54:19What's mine is yours,
00:54:21so feel free to make yourself at home.
00:54:27Mom, where are you going?
00:54:29Are you feeling okay?
00:54:30I'm fine.
00:54:31Absolutely awesome.
00:54:33I have never felt better.
00:54:35Yeah.
00:54:36So, I'm just off now
00:54:37to find myself an Italian man.
00:54:39Mom.
00:54:40You are in the right place, then.
00:54:43Oh, do not encourage her.
00:54:46I'm going to leave you guys alone.
00:54:48Enjoy.
00:54:50Well, cheers to that.
00:54:52Cheers to that.
00:54:53I need to come clean.
00:55:00Bruno and I...
00:55:02Well, I don't care, but...
00:55:03No, listen.
00:55:04We were never a thing.
00:55:05You and Bruno never had an affair?
00:55:07No, I faked the whole thing.
00:55:10Why?
00:55:11Mike didn't know how to break it off with you.
00:55:14I was afraid I was a distraction.
00:55:16So, I lied.
00:55:18And it blew up in my face.
00:55:22Vanessa, I need you to understand something very clearly.
00:55:26I'm not distracted by us together.
00:55:28I'm distracted by us apart.
00:55:29And I also want to be honest with you about something.
00:55:47Ruby told me that she is pregnant, and it's mine.
00:55:50What?
00:55:51How?
00:55:51Look, I don't believe her, but I still do need to play this thing right.
00:55:55And I hope that you can trust me on this.
00:56:00Okay.
00:56:01I trust you.
00:56:06I love you.
00:56:12I love you, too.
00:56:21I love you, too.
00:56:51I love you, Vanessa Porter.
00:56:59I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:57:01Mm-hmm.
00:57:09I should go, gentlemen.
00:57:11Okay.
00:57:14Mom!
00:57:17Mom?
00:57:21I'm coming for you, Mom.
00:57:46This is the address.
00:57:52Vanessa.
00:57:54Glad you made it.
00:57:56Looks like you brought here a little boyfriend, hmm?
00:58:06Yes, good in, boss.
00:58:08So is she.
00:58:09Let's go inside.
00:58:10Let's go inside.
00:58:14Look at you, too.
00:58:16Wow.
00:58:17The perfect couple.
00:58:18What do you want, Bruno?
00:58:20I'll do the questioning.
00:58:22That's what people with guns get to do.
00:58:25We could have been a great team, but you had to blow it off for some trim.
00:58:29Just tell me why.
00:58:31Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:58:33I always hated guys like you, Sebastian, bootstrap guys.
00:58:38That's why I'm going to love bleeding you dry for everything you worked for.
00:58:42I want your entire fortune.
00:58:47You son of a bitch.
00:58:50Calm down, Sebastian.
00:58:52You don't want to end up under the sea.
00:59:00Fine.
00:59:03For Teresa.
00:59:04We just need to know that she's alive.
00:59:06Mom, it's okay.
00:59:16Mom, it's okay.
00:59:18It's okay.
00:59:19Boo, boo.
00:59:22There's your proof of life.
00:59:24Transfer the money to this address using this phone.
00:59:29Come on.
00:59:30I'm so sorry that this is happening.
00:59:36This is all my fault.
00:59:42It's going to wipe you out.
00:59:46It doesn't matter.
00:59:48As long as you and your mother are safe.
00:59:51I can always make my money back, but I need you by my side.
00:59:54I need you.
01:00:00Ka-ching.
01:00:02Thanks for the money.
01:00:04But you didn't really think I'll let your mom go, did you?
01:00:17Oh, my God.
01:00:20Ruby, you killed him.
01:00:23Oh, whoopsies.
01:00:25I'm such a klutz.
01:00:27Guess I won't be sharing that money after all.
01:00:31Mmm.
01:00:32What, honey?
01:00:33You play chess.
01:00:34You know the pawns always die.
01:00:37Hands up!
01:00:42Why are you doing this?
01:00:43I gave you everything.
01:00:45Why?
01:00:46Because you left me.
01:00:48Nobody leaves me.
01:00:50I get everything I've always wanted.
01:00:52You know exactly why.
01:00:57When I met you, you were nothing.
01:01:01The only reason you married me was for my family name.
01:01:03For my clout.
01:01:04You used me to climb the social ladder.
01:01:08Then once you got to the top, you dropped me.
01:01:10And what you think this whore can replace me?
01:01:14You're wrong.
01:01:15I married you for what I thought was out of love.
01:01:17But then I quickly realized that all you ever cared about was material shit.
01:01:23And I tried to prove to you that we can't have it all.
01:01:25We could.
01:01:28Spare me, Mr. Perfect, please.
01:01:30I really can't.
01:01:31No.
01:01:34No.
01:01:39No.
01:01:39No.
01:01:39No.
01:01:44Oopsies.
01:01:45Sorry, my little mouse.
01:01:46It won't happen again.
01:01:48Ruby, you can fix all of this.
01:01:49All you need to do is let Teresa go.
01:01:51Fix this.
01:01:57Yes.
01:01:58This is beyond repair, my dear husband.
01:02:02Revenge, retribution, whatever you want to call it.
01:02:04I finally have the power.
01:02:06Fuck you, bitch!
01:02:12Most dads give their girls jewelry.
01:02:14But not my dad.
01:02:16I used to think guns were scary.
01:02:18But in the right hand, they're quite beautiful.
01:02:22We could have been great, Sebastian.
01:02:24But you had to go ahead and ruin it all.
01:02:26Shut the fuck up, Ruby!
01:02:30I'm going to kill you both.
01:02:32And when the police get here, they'll find me laying on the ground,
01:02:35covered in blood, screaming,
01:02:37Help me!
01:02:39Help me!
01:02:40And I'll blame it on that, mafia moron.
01:02:47Drop it!
01:02:48You're okay?
01:03:16Yeah, I'm okay, honey.
01:03:18I knew you'd come and get me.
01:03:20But next time, can we go to Paris, please?
01:03:24Okay.
01:03:26Miss Porter, I'm Detective Colombo.
01:03:29We've been monitoring the Lombardi crime family for several months now.
01:03:32And we have all the information we need to indict Ruby and Bruno on an extortion plot.
01:03:37But how?
01:03:39We had somebody on the inside.
01:03:40You're a cop?
01:03:47Yep.
01:03:48Department of Justice undercover.
01:03:49The merger made us look into a possible crime link with Armstrong Enterprises.
01:03:53Turns out, Sebastian is legit.
01:03:55He just hired the wrong people.
01:03:56Luckily, Interpol connected me to the Talentees at just the right time.
01:04:01I would have never guessed.
01:04:02Guess those late-night wine sessions were just research, huh?
01:04:05Getting it to be your friend was just one of the benefits.
01:04:08Oh, one more thing.
01:04:11Mr. Armstrong, your money's secure.
01:04:13We made sure the transfer didn't go through.
01:04:17And in business news, the Congress has approved the Bastion Enterprise merger.
01:04:27CEO Sebastian Armstrong is now the richest man in the world.
01:04:30This merger is an unprecedented green deal.
01:04:32They have agreed to convert 70% of their carbon producing plants into renewable energy power plants.
01:04:41Cheers to Teresa being cancer-free for six months.
01:04:44And cheers to Vanessa for her hopefully making me the happiest man on Earth.
01:04:57Oh, my God.
01:05:02Will you marry me?
01:05:10Yes.
01:05:10Yes.
01:05:14I promise to love you forever.
01:05:22I promise to love you forever.
01:05:23I promise to love you forever.
01:05:28I promise to love you forever.
01:05:35I promise to love you forever.
01:05:35I promise to love you forever.
01:05:36I promise to love you forever.
01:05:36I promise to love you forever.
01:05:37I promise to love you forever.
