00:30:20oh my god somebody's been spying on us
00:30:21Thanks for the statement, ma'am.
00:30:31We'll keep an eye out for the perp.
00:30:33In the meantime, try to get some rest.
00:30:36Good night.
00:30:43Yeah, of course.
00:30:46How did you know where I lived?
00:30:47I looked your address up at work.
00:30:52I was coming over to apologize.
00:30:54About what?
00:30:56Look, I was a jerk earlier, and I overreacted.
00:30:59It's okay.
00:31:01Vanessa.
00:31:04People in my position have a very hard time with dating.
00:31:07Everyone only seems to want one thing from me,
00:31:09and that's why I have to be protective.
00:31:11I've been blinded by love before.
00:31:14Ruby?
00:31:15That obvious, huh?
00:31:16She's, um...
00:31:18Bitch.
00:31:20Yeah.
00:31:21And she also could put this hold on people.
00:31:24And I didn't realize it till much later
00:31:26that she's just a gold digger.
00:31:29And she never loved me.
00:31:30She only loved my bank account.
00:31:32And that's why I tend to be defensive.
00:31:36Sebastian, maybe it's just not the right time for us.
00:31:40You have this merger.
00:31:41I don't want you to lose sight of it.
00:31:46And you have your mother.
00:31:49How's she doing?
00:31:51She has her last treatment coming up, so we're hopeful.
00:31:55Yeah.
00:31:57She knows that I put off my career goals to take care of her.
00:32:01And she carries that guilt.
00:32:06The other day, she said that sometimes she wished she had died.
00:32:11So I could live.
00:32:14She's a strong woman, just like you.
00:32:17Look, I appreciate your generosity.
00:32:18But as of now, all I'm asking is that we remain boss and secretary.
00:32:28Deal?
00:32:32Deal.
00:32:34Under one condition.
00:32:36What is it?
00:32:39You replace this.
00:32:43Sure.
00:32:44You still have my black Amex card?
00:32:46I never used it.
00:32:48Okay.
00:32:49Well, you need to go down to La Tour Boutique and get yourself another cocktail dress.
00:32:53I'm not going to do that.
00:32:58Well, you need to because I need you to attend a dinner with me.
00:33:02No dates.
00:33:04No, no, it's not a date.
00:33:05Personal assistant.
00:33:06Strictly business.
00:33:08You feed me the names of people that I should know.
00:33:11It's boring, but the food is good.
00:33:14So what do you say?
00:33:15Deal?
00:33:17That's my one condition.
00:33:18You really are a good negotiator.
00:33:25You should probably go.
00:33:29Okay.
00:33:30Can I help you?
00:33:40Yes, yes.
00:33:41I am looking for a dress.
00:33:43Looks like you need a whole new wardrobe.
00:33:45Oh, probably.
00:33:48Sorry, we don't have anything in the hobo casual collection.
00:33:51Oh, I know.
00:33:53I know.
00:33:53I don't usually shop at places like this.
00:33:56But I actually walk by here all the time and stare at that dress in the window.
00:34:00Not to cut you off.
00:34:01I'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.
00:34:12Maybe you are.
00:34:12I should probably go.
00:34:15You should.
00:34:20Now, wait just a minute.
00:34:22What 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.
00:34:33You should treat everyone who walks through that door with respect.
00:34:37I'm so sorry, Mr. Armstrong.
00:34:39I'm really sorry.
00:34:41My 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.
00:34:58We have a big event to attend to tonight.
00:35:03Sorry, I know that this is a lot.
00:35:22I don't want to let you down.
00:35:25You won't.
00:35:26Just stick with me.
00:35:26I have some cocktail hour negotiating.
00:35:28Oh, 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.
00:35:47Who the fuck are you?
00:35:48This is a conversation between my husband and I.
00:35:52You mean your ex-husband.
00:35:54Oh, no.
00:36:03I'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.
00:36:45Thank you, Vanessa.
00:36:46Let 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, ain't it?
00:36:57Am I right, boys?
00:36:59I didn't know that you two were an item.
00:37:01There's a lot you don't know about me, Seb.
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.
00:37:13Yeah, 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.
00:37:24Come on, keep it classy.
00:37:27You won't be doing anything classy tonight.
00:37:29Respect the workplace.
00:37:31And you chill.
00:37:33You've got money like us.
00:37:35Cheap sluts like Vanessa are a dime a dozen.
00:37:38That's a...
00:37:39Oh!
00:37:41Stop.
00:37:42Stop.
00:37:45You're done.
00:37:46Get out of here.
00:37:47Pack your shit up.
00:37:48We don't do sexual harassment at this company.
00:37:50Okay, big boss man.
00:37:52I'll leave.
00:37:54Are you 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.
00:38:01Don'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.
00:38:17Oh, my God.
00:38:31Vanessa, what's wrong?
00:38:32Someone vandalized my car.
00:38:34What?
00:38:35Are you okay?
00:38:41Stop.
00:38:42There.
00:38:47I 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.
00:39:08I'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.
00:39:28Just 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, Miss 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?
00:39:58You seem a bit distracted.
00:39:59I 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.
00:40:07I think I have a stalker.
00:40:09What?
00:40:09Someone vandalized my car.
00:40:10They wrote a 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.
00:40:21This guy at work, Bruno Lombardi.
00:40:23He has been all over me and is starting to word me out.
00:40:26You said Bruno Lombardi?
00:40:29John 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 run-in with them years ago.
00:40:48They're thugs.
00:40:49And if Bruno is anything like his father,
00:40:51you 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.
00:41:03They're not my baby girl.
00:41:07The Lombardi crime family accused of racketeering trafficking.
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.
00:41:26I have to go, Mum.
00:41:28I love you.
00:41:47You need a replacement for the whoremobile.
00:41:52You 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.
00:42:03I 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.
00:42:17He 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.
00:42:25No, look, I have the best security that money can buy.
00:42:29We 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.
00:43:01What?
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.
00:43:34You'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.
00:43:42No, no, no, no.
00:43:43I 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.
00:43:53Going what?
00:43:54Going twice.
00:43:56And she is sold to that gentleman over there for $500,000 for a special date.
00:44:02And this is a new charity record for us.
00:44:05Thank you for your generosity, sir.
00:44:06Oh.
00:44:08Oh.
00:44:11What you lucky here.
00:44:13I guess they let anyone into these charity events, don't they?
00:44:17Next on stage, please welcome Vanessa Porter.
00:44:20I just sold for $500,000.
00:44:26Set a new charity record.
00:44:28That crowd is 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?
00:44:48I'm talking to you, Mr. Rolstein.
00:44:49The bidding will start at $300,000.
00:44:55$500,000.
00:44:56$500,000.
00:44:58$600,000.
00:45:00Great.
00:45:00We have $600,000 over there.
00:45:03$700,000.
00:45:05We got $700,000 over here.
00:45:07$800,000.
00:45:09$800,000.
00:45:10$1 million.
00:45:16$1 million.
00:45:18Sir, wow, what an amazing finale.
00:45:22Any other bids?
00:45:24Going once?
00:45:25Going twice?
00:45:28And sold to that gentleman over there for $1 million.
00:45:33What 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.
00:46:19What's his game plan?
00:46:20You know, for a winning bet of $1 million,
00:46:26you'd think they'd serve better hooch.
00:46:29I'd rather be home,
00:46:31drinking 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.
00:46:57I paid a lot of money for this thing.
00:47:00In the casino,
00:47:01I can make things very difficult for you
00:47:02and 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?
00:47:35Stop playing games, babe.
00:47:37We know what that $1 million bought me.
00:47:39I'm good, everybody.
00:47:46I'm good.
00:47:51Oh.
00:48:00Knock, knock.
00:48:01Hey, how was the date?
00:48:02And, 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 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.
00:48:42We need to wrap this up
00:48:43so we can send it before Congress
00:48:45and push this merger through soon.
00:48:47A good negotiation
00:48:48is where both parties
00:48:50walk away equally unhappy.
00:48:52And right now, Sebastian,
00:48:54I'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.
00:49:11Listen, why don't we take a long weekend?
00:49:13You can go home
00:49:14and refocus on this merger.
00:49:16And I can spend some time
00:49:18with my grandkids.
00:49:19We've spent every day
00:49:20at this damn office.
00:49:22We can come back on Tuesday
00:49:23and 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
00:49:35with pay.
00:49:36So, do you have any plans
00:49:47for the weekend?
00:49:47How would I?
00:49:48I just found out
00:49:49I have the week off.
00:49:50Well, I'd like to take you to dinner.
00:49:52Sebastian, I...
00:49:52I can't.
00:49:56But thank you.
00:49:57My mom's still in the hospital,
00:49:59so I have to go visit her.
00:50:00Well, maybe she'd like
00:50:01a box of chocolates.
00:50:02Yeah, maybe she would.
00:50:09Can I come in?
00:50:11Jesus.
00:50:13Fine.
00:50:13I'd love to have a drink,
00:50:14but 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.
00:50:26That'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,
00:50:43an ultrasound.
00:50:43Let's see different.
00:50:44Right there.
00:50:47Well, 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.
00:51:10You're so responsible.
00:51:13You need to go.
00:51:14I need time to think, Ruby.
00:51:16Leave that there for you.
00:51:28I 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,
00:51:46for a fake paternity test.
00:51:47I really thought Sebastian hitting me
00:51:50would 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.
00:52:06He'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.
00:52:49If you change your mind,
00:52:54I'm here for you.
00:52:56With all my love, Sebastian.
00:53:06It's a plane ticket
00:53:07to Italy.
00:53:09You must go.
00:53:14I'm not leaving you, Mom.
00:53:21Two 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.
00:53:37Yes.
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.
00:54:00So, Miss Porter,
00:54:03how are you doing?
00:54:06Wonderful.
00:54:07Just wonderful.
00:54:09Thank 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.
00:54:20What's mine is yours,
00:54:21so feel free to make yourself at home.
00:54:27Mm.
00:54:28Mom, 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
00:54:38to 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.
00:54:54I need to come clean.
00:55:00Bruno and I...
00:55:02Look, 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.
00:55:17So, 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.
00:55:30And I also want to be honest with you about something.
00:55:47Ruby told me that she is pregnant, and it's mine.
00:55:51What?
00:55:51How?
00:55:51Look, I don't believe her,
00:55:53but 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.
00:56:05I love you.
00:56:12I love you, too.
00:56:13I love you, too.
00:56:30I love you, Vanessa Porter.
00:56:59I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:57:01Mm-hmm.
00:57:09I should go check a minute.
00:57:11Okay.
00:57:14Mom!
00:57:17Mom?
00:57:17Mom?
00:57:17I'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?
00:57:58She's coming, boss.
00:58:08So is she.
00:58:10Let's go inside.
00:58:14Look at you, too.
00:58:16Wow.
00:58:17The perfect couple.
00:58:19What 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,
00:58:27but you had to blow it all for some trim.
00:58:30Just tell me why.
00:58:31Shh, 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 pleading you dry
00:58:40for 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.
00:59:12Mom!
00:59:13It's okay.
00:59:16Mom, it's okay.
00:59:18It's okay.
00:59:20Boo, boo.
00:59:22There's your proof of life.
00:59:24Transfer the money to this address using this phone.
00:59:29Come on.
00:59:34I'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,
00:59:53but I need you on my side.
01:00:00Ka-ching!
01:00:02Thanks for the money.
01:00:04But you didn't really think
01:00:05I'll let your mom go, did you?
01:00:18Oh, my...
01:00:18Ruby, you killed him!
01:00:23Oh, oopsies.
01:00:25I'm such a klutz.
01:00:27Guess I won't be sharing that money after all.
01:00:29What, 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.
01:00:53You know exactly why.
01:00:57When I met you,
01:00:59you were nothing.
01:01:01The only reason you married me
01:01:02was for my family name,
01:01:03for my clout.
01:01:05You used me
01:01:06to climb the social ladder.
01:01:07Then once you got to the top,
01:01:09you dropped me.
01:01:10And what you think
01:01:11this whore
01:01:12can replace me?
01:01:14You're wrong.
01:01:15I married you
01:01:16for what I thought
01:01:17was out of love.
01:01:18But then I quickly realized
01:01:20that all you ever cared about
01:01:22was material shit.
01:01:23And I tried to prove to you
01:01:24that we can't have it all.
01:01:26We could.
01:01:28Spare me,
01:01:29Mr. Perfect, please.
01:01:30I really can't.
01:01:31No, no.
01:01:44Oopsies!
01:01:45Sorry, my little mouse.
01:01:47It won't happen again.
01:01:48Ruby, you can fix
01:01:49all of this.
01:01:50All you need to do
01:01:50is let Teresa go.
01:01:56Fix this?
01:01:57Yes.
01:01:59This is beyond repair,
01:02:00my dear husband.
01:02:02Revenge,
01:02:02retribution,
01:02:03whatever you want to call it.
01:02:04I finally have the power.
01:02:08Fuck!
01:02:09Fuck, you bitch!
01:02:12Most dads
01:02:13give their girls jewelry,
01:02:14but not my dad.
01:02:16I used to think
01:02:16guns were scary,
01:02:18but in the right hand,
01:02:19they're quite beautiful.
01:02:22We could have been
01:02:23great, Sebastian,
01:02:24but you had to go ahead
01:02:25and ruin it all.
01:02:26Shut the fuck up, Ruby!
01:02:28I'm going to kill you both.
01:02:32And when the police get here,
01:02:33they'll find me
01:02:34laying on the ground
01:02:35covered in blood,
01:02:36screaming,
01:02:37help me!
01:02:39Help me!
01:02:41And I'll blame it
01:02:41on that mafia moron.
01:02:47Drop it!
01:02:48You're okay?
01:03:00You're okay?
01:03:02Yeah, I'm okay, honey.
01:03:18I knew you'd come
01:03:19and get me.
01:03:20But next time,
01:03:21can we go to Paris, please?
01:03:24Okay.
01:03:26Miss Porter,
01:03:27I'm Detective Colombo,
01:03:29and we've been monitoring
01:03:30the Lombardi crime family
01:03:31for several months now,
01:03:32and we have all the information
01:03:34we need to indict Ruby and Bruno
01:03:36on an extortion plot.
01:03:37But how?
01:03:39We had somebody on the inside.
01:03:44You're a cop?
01:03:47Yep.
01:03:48Department of Justice undercover.
01:03:49The merger made us look
01:03:51into a possible crime link
01:03:52with Armstrong Enterprises.
01:03:53Turns out, Sebastian is legit.
01:03:55He just hired the wrong people.
01:03:56Luckily, Interpol
01:03:57connected me to the talent piece
01:03:58at just the right time.
01:04:01I would have never guessed.
01:04:02Guess those late-night wine sessions
01:04:04were just research, huh?
01:04:06Getting to be your friend
01:04:07was just one of the benefits.
01:04:08Oh, one more thing.
01:04:10Mr. Armstrong,
01:04:12your money's secure.
01:04:13We made sure the transfer
01:04:14didn't go through.
01:04:23And in business news,
01:04:24the Congress has approved
01:04:25the Bastion Enterprise merger.
01:04:27CEO Sebastian Armstrong
01:04:28is now the richest man
01:04:30in the world.
01:04:30This merger
01:04:31is an unprecedented green deal.
01:04:32They have agreed
01:04:33to convert 70%
01:04:34of their carbon-producing plans
01:04:36into renewable energy power.
01:04:38Cheers to Teresa
01:04:42being cancer-free
01:04:43for six months.
01:04:45Cheers.
01:04:49And cheers to Vanessa
01:04:52for her hopefully making me
01:04:55the happiest man on Earth.
01:04:57Oh, my God.
