00:13:10music
00:13:15music
00:13:21music
00:13:23music
00:13:25music
00:13:26Wow, that dress fits you perfectly.
00:13:54How did you know my size?
00:13:58My grandfather used to work at a carnival.
00:14:00I could guess your weight too, but I'd rather just buy a dress for you.
00:14:07This room must have cost a fortune.
00:14:09Yeah, they tend to comp the room when you own the hotel.
00:14:19I'm used to my wine coming in a box.
00:14:23You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:26No one has ever said that to me, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:30I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:37I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:44I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:46I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:49I love you.
00:15:02I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:16:06I hope you're not too good for boxed wine, though.
00:16:11Oh, I am never too good for boxed wine.
00:16:15Oh, gosh.
00:16:17This has been such a whirlwind.
00:16:19I am falling so hard.
00:16:21Just be careful, honey.
00:16:22I know.
00:16:27I'm trying to take it slow.
00:16:30I mean, that merger is heating up.
00:16:32All the stockholders in the company have their eye on him right now.
00:16:34They 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.
00:16:41The last 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.
00:16:54I really need to keep this job.
00:16:55Are you just going to stand there?
00:17:03We're 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.
00:17:10Are you a spy, homie?
00:17:33Not me.
00:17:35But somebody is.
00:17:38Those 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.
00:18:01Especially after that one in Gotham went rogue.
00:18:05Maybe it would help to be a happily married man.
00:18:08I don't think that exists.
00:18:12I got news for you, pal.
00:18:14It does.
00:18:1535 years.
00:18:16I 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.
00:18:30We are playing with fire.
00:18:36But I care about him so much, I just can't jeopardize anything.
00:18:39Well, well, well, what do we have here?
00:18:54Excuse me?
00:18:55I'm Lombardi.
00:18:56Bruno Lombardi.
00:18:57Hi, 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.
00:19:06I'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?
00:19:17Martinis.
00:19:18Teenies to bikinis.
00:19:19Oh, that's funny.
00:19:24Yeah.
00:19:25What'd you say we get out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini?
00:19:32Are all your pickup lines martini-based?
00:19:35Yeah.
00:19:37Ugh.
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?
00:19:58It'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.
00:20:20We'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 go.
00:20:32Come on.
00:20:33Out the door.
00:20:33Hey 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.
00:20:52She 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?
00:21:05I 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.
00:21:19No 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.
00:21:46I'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,
00:22:03don'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.
00:22:09And I have money.
00:22:10But 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...
00:22:32Cancer.
00:22:33She has cancer.
00:22:35And 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.
00:22:41Sebastian, 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.
00:23:03I 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.
00:23:18I see you.
00:23:32What?
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.
00:24:00Babe, 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.
00:24:21That's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:24:32Oh.
00:24:33Sorry, Mr. Sebastian.
00:24:36Hey, Sebastian.
00:24:37Don't worry.
00:24:37We're off the clock.
00:24:38Yeah.
00:24:39Yeah.
00:24:44This is hot.
00:24:47Don't ever touch me again.
00:24:55Playing hard again?
00:24:56I like that.
00:24:58Brew no likey.
00:25:02You big stud.
00:25:02You got this.
00:25:04She's yours.
00:25:04Two can play this game.
00:25:08I'll be there for you.
00:25:15Hey.
00:25:16I'm sorry about...
00:25:18There's nothing to be sorry about.
00:25:20We're both adults.
00:25:20You don't owe me anything.
00:25:22He was just being...
00:25:24I don't care about him.
00:25:27I just...
00:25:28I don't know.
00:25:28I thought that you were different.
00:25:30I...
00:25:30I have to let this happen.
00:25:32You know what?
00:25:33I think you're right.
00:25:35I think that we should just be friends.
00:25:38No.
00:25:39More like work colleagues.
00:25:45Because I had hoped that we were going to build something together.
00:25:49But my life, my business wasn't built off hope.
00:25:52It was built off hard work.
00:25:54No, and I was blinded by what I thought was such an amazing person.
00:26:00But the reality is you're just like everyone else.
00:26:05You're just after my money.
00:26:06Session, I don't...
00:26:16How about we finish where we started?
00:26:18Get off.
00:26:18What about all that break room talk?
00:26:20I thought I told you never touch me again.
00:26:23Let's pretend I didn't hear that.
00:26:25Get off me, Bruno.
00:26:26I'm not interested.
00:26:28Don't be that interested.
00:26:30Let's get in.
00:26:36You'll regret this.
00:26:43Tell me everything.
00:26:45It was terrible what I did, but this merger was so important to Sebastian.
00:26:50I couldn't risk losing it for him.
00:26:52You were never going to lose it for him.
00:26:54I can't be a distraction to him.
00:26:56Maybe he needs a distraction.
00:26:57What did you do?
00:27:01I almost kissed Bruno.
00:27:04The aggressive guy?
00:27:06He only did it to make Sebastian forget about me so he could think about the merger.
00:27:11I hope you know what you're doing.
00:27:17I wish we had met in college.
00:27:19Things would be so different.
00:27:27Kate, I don't know how to fix this.
00:27:28Girl, you can't fix being in love.
00:27:34What do you think Sebastian's doing right now?
00:27:43What is wrong with you?
00:27:44I mean, you have everything.
00:27:46And even after this merger, you'll have even more.
00:27:50You can have any woman you desire.
00:27:55Boy, don't ask, I am humble.
00:28:02You'd give it all up and be with her, wouldn't you?
00:28:07Well, if you love her, then you should just go to her.
00:28:14What do you have to drink in this dump?
00:28:16Ruby.
00:28:17What are you doing here?
00:28:18Come in.
00:28:19I'm sorry.
00:28:20I was a cranky bitch earlier.
00:28:21What are you doing here?
00:28:23Well, things got a little heated earlier.
00:28:25And I thought I should come make amends.
00:28:30Is it me?
00:28:33Is it hot in here?
00:28:34I've missed you.
00:28:47I've missed you.
00:28:59We're so good together.
00:29:00We're so good together.
00:29:01Let me take you to the bedroom.
00:29:16No, no, no, hey, I'm sorry.
00:29:24I can't do this.
00:29:27Look, we had something in the past, Ruby.
00:29:30Here, just put this on.
00:29:35Is this about that bitch?
00:29:39Don't call her that.
00:29:41You'll regret this, Sebastian Armstrong?
00:29:43Hey, hey, get off of me.
00:29:56Hey, hey, get off of me.
00:30:00Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:30:01You okay?
00:30:02What is that?
00:30:03You must have dropped it.
00:30:04Oh, my God, somebody's been spying on us.
00:30:29Thanks for the statement, ma'am.
00:30:31We'll keep an eye out for the perp.
00:30:32In 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?
00:30:49I 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.
00:31:00Vanessa, people in my position have a very hard time with dating.
00:31:07Everyone only seems to want one thing from me, and 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?
00:31:17She's, um...
00:31:18Bitch?
00:31:18Yeah, and she also could put this hold on people.
00:31:24And I didn't realize it till much later that 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.
00:31:47And 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.
00:32:19But as of now, all I'm asking is that we remain boss and secretary.
00:32:28Deal?
00:32:29Deal?
00:32:31Deal.
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?
00:32:47I 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.
00:32:54Well, 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.
00:33:13So what do you say?
00:33:16Deal?
00:33:16Deal?
00:33:16Deal?
00:33:16Deal?
00:33:16Deal?
00:33:16Deal?
00:33:17That's my one condition.
00:33:18You really are a good negotiator.
00:33:20You should probably go.
00:33:27Can 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.
00:33:52Oh, I know, I 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.
00:34:34You 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.
00:35:26Just stick with me.
00:35:27I 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. Cuomo, that 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.
00:36:39Thank you, Vanessa.
00:36:48Let 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.
00:37:07Oh, this 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.
00:37:24Come on, keep it classy.
00:37:27You won't be doing anything classy tonight.
00:37:29Respect the workplace.
00:37:31And you chill.
00:37:32I mean, you got money like us.
00:37:35Cheap sluts like Vanessa are a dime.
00:37:37A dozen.
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.
00:37:47We don't do sexual harassment at this company.
00:37:50Okay, big boss man.
00:37:52I'll leave.
00:37:54But you're gonna 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.
00:38:17Oh, 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.
00:41:28You need a replacement for the horn-mobile.
00:41:52You know I can accept this.
00:41:54You have to.
00:41:55I really can't.
00:41:57Then why not?
00:41:57Sebastian, 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.
00:42:25Look, I have the best security that money can buy.
00:42:28We don't need to be intimidated by people like Bruno.
00:42:33And 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.
00:43:47We wouldn't mind a man bidding on me for a change.
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:53Going once, going 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.
00:44:08Oh.
00:44:11What you lucky 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 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 and just dinner.
00:44:46No funny business.
00:44:47Okay, I'm talking to you, Mr. Rolstein.
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.
00:45:00We have $600,000 over there.
00:45:03$700,000.
00:45:05We got seven over here.
00:45:07$800,000.
00:45:09$800,000.
00:45:10$1,000,000.
00:45:16$1,000,000.
00:45:19Sir, 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 $1,000,000.
00:45:32What an amazing finale.
00:45:35Beating the previous record of...
00:45:37What's her name?
00:45:39Um, 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.
00:46:12I trust you.
00:46:15I also want to see what Bruno's up to.
00:46:19What's his game plan?
00:46:24You know, for a winning bet of $1,000,000,
00:46:26you'd think they'd serve better 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.
00:46:57I've paid a lot of money for this date.
00:47:00In the casino, I can make things very difficult for you and your little boyfriend.
00:47:03You know, this 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?
00:47:24Stop playing games, babe.
00:47:37We know what that $1,000,000 bought me.
00:47:44I'm good, everybody.
00:47:46I'm good.
00:47:46Knock, 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, it wasn't...
00:48:15No, no, no, it's fine.
00:48:16I'm, I have some work I need to be doing now.
00:48:29I'm just throwing this out there, but 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, and 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.
00:49:36So, do you have any plans for the weekend?
00:49:47How would I?
00:49:48I just found out I have the week off.
00:49:50Hmm, well, I'd like to take you to dinner.
00:49:52Sebastian, I...
00:49:53I can't.
00:49:56But 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.
00:50:09Can I come in?
00:50:12Jesus.
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.
00:50:22I don't know how to tell you this, Sebastian, but 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 and ultrasound.
00:50:43Let's see different.
00:50:46Right there.
00:50:47Well, if this is true, then I'm not the type of man that 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.
00:51:15I 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, but 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 when I broke into her house also didn't work.
00:51:44Okay, well, I'm still out two grand for a fake paternity test.
00:51:47I really thought Sebastian hitting me would ruin this merger.
00:51:51Okay, I still want the merger to happen, moron.
00:51:53I just want the divorce to happen after so that I get half.
00:51:57And if that doesn't work, we'll move on to plan C and eliminate Sebastian altogether.
00:52:02I know exactly where he hangs out when he needs time alone.
00:52:04He'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.
00:52:50If you change your mind, I'm here for you.
00:52:56With all my love, Sebastian.
00:53:06It's a plane ticket.
00:53:08To Italy.
00:53:12You must go.
00:53:14I'm not leaving you, Mom.
00:53:22Two tickets.
00:53:26Mom, how are you feeling?
00:53:28I'm feeling like I need to see the Italian countryside and eat some authentic Italian.
00:53:35Looks like we're going to Italy.
00:53:37Yes.
00:53:37Yes.
00:53:37Welcome.
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, how are you doing?
00:54:06Wonderful.
00:54:07Just wonderful.
00:54:09Thank you so much for bringing my daughter and I out here.
00:54:12And that private jet experience, that is the way to travel.
00:54:17And the food was delicious.
00:54:20What's mine is yours, so feel free to make yourself at home.
00:54:28Mom, where are you going?
00:54:29Are you feeling okay?
00:54:30I'm fine.
00:54:31Absolutely awesome.
00:54:32I have never felt better.
00:54:35Yeah.
00:54:36So, I'm just off now to 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.
00:54:48Well, cheers to that.
00:54:52Cheers to that.
00:54:57I 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.
00:55:13I 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, 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.
00:56:13I love you, too.
00:56:25I love you, too.
00:56:55I love you, Vanessa Porter.
00:56:59I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:57:01Mm-hmm.
00:57:09I should go check and wait.
00:57:11Okay.
00:57:14Mom!
00:57:14Mom!
00:57:17Mom?
00:57:25I'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?
00:57:58He'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.
00:58:18What 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 all for some trim.
00:58:30Just tell me why.
00:58:31Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:58:33I always hated guys like you, Sebastian.
00:58:36Bootstrap guys.
00:58:37That's why I'm going to love bleeding you dry for everything you worked for.
00:58:44I 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.
00:59:07Mom!
00:59:13It's okay.
00:59:16Mom, if it's okay, if it'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.
00:59:47As long as you and your mother are safe.
00:59:51I can always make my money back, but I need you on my side.
01:00:01Ka-ching!
01:00:02Thanks for the money.
01:00:04But you didn't really think I'll let your mom go, did you?
01:00:07Oh, my God.
01:00:18Oh, my God.
01:00:21Ruby, 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!
01:00:39Why 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.
01:00:54When I met you, you were nothing.
01:01:01The only reason you married me was for my family name, for my clout.
01:01:05You 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.
01:01:18But 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.
01:01:26We could.
01:01:28Spare me, Mr. Perfect, please.
01:01:30I really can't.
01:01:34No.
01:01:39No, no.
01:01:39Oopsies.
01:01:45Sorry, my little mouse.
01:01:47It won't happen again.
01:01:48Ruby, you can fix all of this.
01:01:50All you need to do is let Teresa go.
01:01:56Fix 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.
01:02:09Fuck 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!
01:02:41And I'll blame it on that, mafia moron.
01:02:47Drop it!
01:02:48You're okay?
01:03:02Yeah, I'm okay, honey.
01:03:06You're okay?
01:03:06I knew you'd come and get me.
01:03:20But next time, can we go to Paris, please?
01:03:24Okay.
01:03:24Miss 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.
01:03:38But 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 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 Talentease at just the right time.
01:04:01I would have never guessed.
01:04:02Guess those late night wine sessions were just research, huh?
01:04:06Getting to be your friend was just one of the benefits.
01:04:08Oh, uh, one more thing.
01:04:10Mr. Armstrong, your money's secure.
01:04:13We made sure the transfer didn't go through.
01:04:19And 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.
01:04:45Cheers.
01:04:49And cheers to Vanessa.
01:04:53For her hopefully making me the happiest man on earth.
01:04:57Oh, my God.
01:04:59Will you marry me?
01:05:04Yes.
01:05:10I promise to love you forever.
01:05:21I promise to love you forever.
