00:00:00Hey, this is Richard Allington.
00:00:10I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message.
00:00:14Hey, Grandpa.
00:00:17It's one thing to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody-tissue women,
00:00:22but to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind date, that's low.
00:00:30Let's hope this one's different.
00:00:34I don't even know what to say to this guy.
00:00:37I don't know how to talk to rich people.
00:00:39Be sexy.
00:00:40Darling, just act better than everyone else in the room.
00:00:44And being sexy is easy.
00:00:46Bite your lip, push up the girls.
00:00:48It works every time.
00:00:50Wait, but what girls?
00:00:51And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily.
00:00:55So challenge them, be bold, and put them on the spot.
00:00:57I don't think I can do this.
00:01:00The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech,
00:01:03the sooner I pay you for your mother's surgery.
00:01:05It's your call.
00:01:27Are you going to stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:01:37Of course.
00:01:45Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.
00:01:50You're so...
00:01:52Rich?
00:01:53Sexy?
00:01:55Frankly, yes.
00:01:57Sorry, what was her name?
00:02:01Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:03And you are?
00:02:03Blaine Ellington.
00:02:04CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:07Hmm.
00:02:08And this is a successful company?
00:02:10It's not ringing any bells.
00:02:13Waiter?
00:02:14Yes, Mr. Ellington.
00:02:16You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:02:19Yes, of course.
00:02:20If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:02:22Uh, it's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:02:25You want two?
00:02:27Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.
00:02:30Better bring three.
00:02:31Yes, of course.
00:02:32Right away, sir.
00:02:39And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:02:42I invest.
00:02:44In what?
00:02:45In everything.
00:02:49What am I not investing in?
00:02:51Businesses?
00:02:53Charities?
00:02:55I see.
00:02:56And you live in the city?
00:02:58The city.
00:03:00The hills.
00:03:02My yacht.
00:03:04My private island.
00:03:07I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:08You're so impressive.
00:03:12So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:14Hmm.
00:03:15Doesn't surprise me.
00:03:16I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:21Um.
00:03:23You've got a little, uh...
00:03:34Kurt?
00:03:35Kurt?
00:03:35What's my manager doing here?
00:03:39Blaine.
00:03:41My business dinner just ended.
00:03:43The presentation for the China branch.
00:03:44Looking good.
00:03:45Amazing.
00:03:46You're the best, Kurt.
00:03:46Well, I just, uh, want to keep you two.
00:03:48I just wanted to say hi.
00:03:51Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:03:52Ended up being a blind date.
00:03:53Ah, classic.
00:03:55All right, well, you two have fun.
00:04:03I've got to be honest with you.
00:04:04You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.
00:04:09Would you like to come to my place?
00:04:11I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:04:14Absolutely, darling.
00:04:21Whoa.
00:04:23Welcome to my home.
00:04:25After you.
00:04:34Oh, my.
00:04:52You like what you say?
00:04:54You're getting there, darling.
00:04:56Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:04:58Well, then, shall we get started?
00:05:04Uh, not so fast.
00:05:07Okay.
00:05:08A little foreplay?
00:05:09I did not think this through at all.
00:05:11How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:05:14Looking for something?
00:05:20Oh, um...
00:05:21Ah.
00:05:24I should have known that was your style.
00:05:27Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:31Ugh.
00:05:32I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:05:34I'm kind of used to being the one tied up.
00:05:36It's usually the other way around.
00:05:42Valentina?
00:05:44Patience, darling.
00:05:45I'm building the suspense.
00:05:47Ah.
00:05:48I see.
00:05:49Where could it be?
00:05:50Right.
00:05:51And...
00:05:52You say guys actually like this?
00:05:54Oh, yes.
00:05:55It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:05:59Huh.
00:06:01How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:04That's...
00:06:08That's new.
00:06:11The painting!
00:06:12Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:06:14Oh, uh...
00:06:15Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:06:18It looks exactly like...
00:06:19The one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:06:23It's where I keep my safe.
00:06:25People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:06:28Thought that was only in the movies.
00:06:31Oh, no, it's quite popular.
00:06:32Where do you hide your luxurious safe-keepings?
00:06:37In a super, super, super secret hiding place.
00:06:41Oh, come on.
00:06:44Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?
00:06:48Oh, uh...
00:06:49Most unfortunate.
00:06:50I'm getting the utmost important business call, and I must take it.
00:06:54Right now?
00:06:55What?
00:06:56What about me?
00:06:58Valentina!
00:06:59Wait!
00:07:03Untie me!
00:07:10Ew.
00:07:12Really, Blaine?
00:07:13What?
00:07:14You and your models.
00:07:15Last night was not a model.
00:07:19I was actually impressed.
00:07:22Did I hear it right?
00:07:24Blaine actually had a date he liked.
00:07:26It was fantastic.
00:07:28The other girls are so boring.
00:07:30But this one...
00:07:31She's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:07:33I must see her again.
00:07:35Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:07:39It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.
00:07:41Okay.
00:07:45Grandfather.
00:07:46Mm-hmm?
00:07:46Listen to him.
00:07:47He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:07:49I am much more qualified.
00:07:50Oh, yeah.
00:07:53I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:07:55Mm-hmm.
00:07:55No, no, no, no, no.
00:07:57Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:08:00Right?
00:08:00Yeah, you were meant to be some CEO.
00:08:03No, but Blaine, Blaine will learn in time.
00:08:07Whatever.
00:08:07Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:08:11I have actual work to attend to.
00:08:14Oh.
00:08:16Yeah, yeah.
00:08:17Thanks.
00:08:23Hello?
00:08:24How's our plan going, darling?
00:08:28To perfection.
00:08:31Sherry has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:08:33It won't be long until he slips up,
00:08:34and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:08:39Brilliant.
00:08:40It's all coming together perfectly.
00:08:42And the VR tech you're developing,
00:08:44it'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?
00:08:46Oh, yes.
00:08:47It'll be ready.
00:08:48Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:08:51What's he doing here?
00:09:05Speaking of girls,
00:09:06I think I know who would be perfect as your new sister.
00:09:10Sorry.
00:09:11I'm fine.
00:09:13Ariel.
00:09:14How does he know my name?
00:09:16You dropped your badge.
00:09:17Okay.
00:09:21There you go.
00:09:25Thanks.
00:09:32Amazing.
00:09:35Are you playing hide-and-seek?
00:09:36Is that where you're late?
00:09:37Can I hide next?
00:09:38No, I was dropping your mama at the hospital.
00:09:41No, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:09:43Wait, oh my god, is she okay?
00:09:44Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:09:46She's just getting some tests done.
00:09:47Oh, thank goodness.
00:09:49Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:09:51Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:09:53Are you going to apply?
00:09:54I'm good where I am.
00:09:55All the girls are applying.
00:09:57Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:09:58You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:10:00I think this position is yours.
00:10:12He's gorgeous.
00:10:14I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:10:17Attention, everyone.
00:10:19My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:10:22I will try my best to live up to my father, but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:10:29And since he is adjusting to this new role, I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:10:35Not me, not me, not me.
00:10:37Blaine, meet your new assistant, Harry.
00:10:44All right, everyone, back to work.
00:10:52You look exactly like...
00:10:55Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:04Kurt described.
00:11:06Clean, organized desk, confident composure.
00:11:10There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:11:13This could get me closer to finding my code.
00:11:16When do I start?
00:11:17Perfect.
00:11:18First thing I need help with is there's this file.
00:11:21Oh, um, gotta take a book all.
00:11:23Send it to me in an email.
00:11:27Ariel, he wants to meet you again.
00:11:30Really?
00:11:31Also, I got you a second number.
00:11:33Just click the link to connect it, so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:11:38Great.
00:11:44You're numbered, huh?
00:11:48Hello?
00:11:51Hello, Ariel?
00:11:54This is Dr. Westphal.
00:11:55We just got your mother's results.
00:12:00It's not what we hoped.
00:12:02So we need to move quickly if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:12:06Okay.
00:12:07I understand.
00:12:08I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:12:11Oh, perfect timing.
00:12:19I just finished dinner.
00:12:21Mom, you should be in bed.
00:12:23Honey, I'm fine.
00:12:24Besides, you've been working all day.
00:12:25You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:12:27Mom, please.
00:12:28Honey, sit down.
00:12:29The doctor called.
00:12:40He says it's gotten worse.
00:12:41Hush, hush, hush.
00:12:43Hush.
00:12:43None of that talk, okay?
00:12:45Mom.
00:12:46Eat before your food gets cold.
00:12:55I'll be right back.
00:12:56I'll be right back.
00:12:59It's time for the second date, darling.
00:13:04Are you ready?
00:13:07Yeah.
00:13:10Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:13:12I'll make it to go.
00:13:13Oh, where am I?
00:13:36Valentina!
00:13:37Blaine!
00:13:39Darling!
00:13:40What is this dreadful place?
00:13:41Do you intend to have me killed?
00:13:43No, not at all.
00:13:44This place is special.
00:13:46Follow me.
00:13:58Honey, Maura.
00:13:59We're almost there.
00:14:00Come on.
00:14:00Come on.
00:14:12Wow.
00:14:28Did you look at that view?
00:14:31I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:14:33Just you, actually.
00:14:35I discovered this place after my father died.
00:14:37On your father died?
00:14:40Yeah.
00:14:42I've been thrown into the CEO position, and I'm a bit in over my head, so I never really
00:14:48get a chance to myself except when I come here.
00:14:51I'm so sorry.
00:14:52I'm so sorry.
00:14:54I'm so sorry.
00:15:00My mom is sick.
00:15:04She needs experimental surgery.
00:15:07Just saying how it feels to...
00:15:12Want to get away?
00:15:14Yeah.
00:15:16I'm used to getting everything, but this is one thing that money can't buy.
00:15:23I'm so sorry about your mom.
00:15:25Thanks.
00:15:27She's all I've got.
00:15:28I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:15:40Hey!
00:15:40Who's out here?
00:15:48What's happening?
00:15:50Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:15:52What?
00:15:52Run.
00:15:58Hey!
00:16:03Still.
00:16:08What was that?
00:16:09That was fun.
00:16:11Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:16:13No.
00:16:14I suppose not.
00:16:17I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:16:21I feel like I can be myself around you.
00:16:25You feel the same way?
00:16:25Will you be my girlfriend, Valentina?
00:16:29That's right.
00:16:29I'm supposed to be Valentina.
00:16:31I can't do this to him.
00:16:38But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.
00:16:42I'd love to.
00:16:46Well, well, well.
00:16:49Martina, what are you doing here?
00:16:51I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:16:55I had to see it for myself.
00:16:57Well, that blind date went so well the other night,
00:17:00it got me thinking maybe grandfather was right.
00:17:03Is that so?
00:17:04Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:17:06That's right.
00:17:07Wow.
00:17:08What's she like?
00:17:09She's funny, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable.
00:17:15She's the whole package.
00:17:17Sounds like one that Dad actually would have approved of.
00:17:20I'd love to meet her.
00:17:25Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington.
00:17:28Is this about time?
00:17:29No, not at all.
00:17:30My sister just came to visit.
00:17:32Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:17:35Martina, nice to meet you.
00:17:36Likewise.
00:17:37Glad to see my brother.
00:17:38I saw one to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:17:41Don't you worry.
00:17:42I got this.
00:17:43Well, after you lost the keys to the Maserati,
00:17:45I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new AI tech that we need.
00:17:48I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati,
00:17:50and don't you worry.
00:17:51I've got the codes right here on this drive,
00:17:54and I'm keeping it safe.
00:18:07Glad to hear you're doing that.
00:18:09I have wasted enough time.
00:18:12Now you know exactly where it is.
00:18:15Get it.
00:18:15Get it.
00:18:24All right, where's that drive?
00:18:39Are you kidding?
00:18:40There's nothing in here.
00:18:50Oh, man.
00:18:51They're coming in.
00:18:54You're a trap.
00:18:55How about we celebrate your China contract
00:18:57with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:18:59Do you know, twist my arm.
00:19:04Do you know, twist my arm.
00:19:06No, no, no.
00:19:13Oh, yeah.
00:19:17Yes, sir.
00:19:18Cheers.
00:19:19Do you guys have a meeting with China right now?
00:19:20Right, right, right.
00:19:25After then.
00:19:26Yeah.
00:19:33Whew.
00:19:34That was close.
00:19:40Hey, girlfriend.
00:19:41Can I ask your advice on something?
00:19:43Sure.
00:19:43What's going on?
00:19:44So, I have this friend who is having boy problems.
00:19:48Aren't we all?
00:19:48So, she has a crush on her boss,
00:19:50and she doesn't know what to do about it
00:19:52because of the whole workplace relationship thing.
00:19:54How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:19:56Wait.
00:19:57I don't like Blaine.
00:19:58But he deserves to know, though, right?
00:19:59You're going to tell him?
00:20:00I mean, I don't know,
00:20:01because what if I tell Kurt I like him
00:20:03and he doesn't like me,
00:20:04and then it's so totally awkward,
00:20:05and so he fires me
00:20:06because it's so totally awkward.
00:20:08Wait.
00:20:09You like Kurt?
00:20:10I gotta go.
00:20:11What?
00:20:12Ring, ring.
00:20:13Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:20:15Ring, ring.
00:20:17Ring, ring.
00:20:18Ring, ring.
00:20:19Ring, ring.
00:20:21Ariel.
00:20:22Yes, Mr. Ellington?
00:20:26I need your personal help.
00:20:28Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:20:29I've never gotten a girl a gift.
00:20:40Wow, really?
00:20:42I mean, yeah.
00:20:44First girlfriend, first gift.
00:20:46Checks out.
00:20:47So, I need your help
00:20:49to figure out which you think
00:20:50a woman would prefer.
00:20:53Oh, no.
00:20:59Oh, my God.
00:21:03I'm going to be wearing that?
00:21:04Sorry?
00:21:06Your girlfriend's going to be wearing that?
00:21:08Yeah.
00:21:09It's pretty nice, right?
00:21:10Well, I mean,
00:21:12it's option one.
00:21:13You think she'll like it?
00:21:15Um,
00:21:16well,
00:21:17what's her girlfriend like?
00:21:19What are her
00:21:19tastes?
00:21:21Um,
00:21:22sophisticated,
00:21:24generous,
00:21:25gorgeous.
00:21:26The whole world
00:21:27slows down
00:21:27whenever she walks into a room.
00:21:31I see.
00:21:32Okay.
00:21:32So,
00:21:36keep that in mind.
00:21:38Option two.
00:21:43And that's even more revealing
00:21:44than the first one.
00:21:45Yeah.
00:21:46This is big in Europe.
00:21:48Between you and me,
00:21:48I'm rooting for this guy.
00:21:50Mm-hmm.
00:21:51I see.
00:21:51Do you have anything more
00:21:53modest?
00:21:56Hmm.
00:21:57Modest?
00:21:57Yeah.
00:21:58That
00:21:59seems to be the style
00:22:00I've been seeing these days.
00:22:02With the rich folk.
00:22:04At least.
00:22:05You know,
00:22:05now that you say it,
00:22:07I think I do have something.
00:22:13Aha.
00:22:16What do you think?
00:22:18I think she'd really like that.
00:22:21Hmm.
00:22:27Can I have a margarita?
00:22:32You can't be serious,
00:22:33darling.
00:22:35She'll have a friend
00:22:3575 at Cognac.
00:22:37Flora,
00:22:37what are you doing here?
00:22:39Making sure you look the part.
00:22:41You want to make the money
00:22:42for your dear mother,
00:22:42don't you?
00:22:44Yes,
00:22:44more than anything.
00:22:45Then you need to keep
00:22:46your eyes on the prize.
00:22:48We need to get our hands
00:22:49on that code fast.
00:22:51Once I do,
00:22:52I can fund your mother's surgery.
00:22:53But until then,
00:22:53we're in this together.
00:22:56Yes?
00:22:57Yeah.
00:22:59Excellent.
00:23:00Now,
00:23:01what's your game plan?
00:23:02Make him even more vulnerable.
00:23:04And get him to tell me
00:23:05where the code is.
00:23:06And how do you suppose
00:23:07you'll do that?
00:23:09Um,
00:23:10be nice?
00:23:13Ha ha ha!
00:23:15Your ignorance is both
00:23:16cute and annoying.
00:23:19No.
00:23:20A man like Blaine Ellington
00:23:22is going to become vulnerable
00:23:23from two things.
00:23:25Drinking with him
00:23:26and
00:23:27I'm going to bed with him.
00:23:29Right.
00:23:31I,
00:23:32I can,
00:23:32I can do that.
00:23:33I hope so,
00:23:34because he's coming this way.
00:23:37Get the code soon,
00:23:39honey.
00:23:40For your mother.
00:23:42Okay?
00:23:44Oh!
00:23:45And darling,
00:23:47have fun.
00:23:47Have fun.
00:23:50All right.
00:23:50Valentina.
00:23:56How are you?
00:23:59Wonderful,
00:24:00love.
00:24:01I've been looking forward
00:24:01to this all day.
00:24:03Is that so?
00:24:04Indeed.
00:24:05I was so distracted.
00:24:07It affected my croquet score.
00:24:09Oh, no.
00:24:10Distracted over little old me.
00:24:11Yes.
00:24:12I simply must know
00:24:14everything about you.
00:24:15Well,
00:24:16what would you like to know?
00:24:17Everything.
00:24:19Well,
00:24:20I don't know about everything.
00:24:22It might take some time
00:24:23for me to open up.
00:24:24Well,
00:24:25maybe after a few drinks.
00:24:27Only if you can keep up.
00:24:29See,
00:24:29I don't really start talking
00:24:30until after a lot of drinking.
00:24:33Oh, no.
00:24:34Well,
00:24:34here goes nothing.
00:24:35Oh, man.
00:24:40Oh.
00:24:44That's really good.
00:24:45Oh,
00:24:45that's fine.
00:24:46That's not an act.
00:24:47That's funny.
00:24:48Oh,
00:24:49that's fine.
00:24:50Oh,
00:24:50that's fine.
00:24:55You know,
00:24:56my sister
00:24:57is implying today
00:24:58that I should
00:24:58tell someone
00:24:59where my new
00:25:00AI code is
00:25:01because I
00:25:01forget stuff.
00:25:03And
00:25:03Are you
00:25:05forgetful?
00:25:07I mean,
00:25:08yeah.
00:25:09Can you actually believe
00:25:10I've lost the keys
00:25:11to a Maserati?
00:25:12What?
00:25:13Really?
00:25:13Yeah.
00:25:14It cost me
00:25:15$10,000
00:25:16just to get them
00:25:17re-keyed.
00:25:18Which is why
00:25:19I should probably
00:25:21tell someone
00:25:22in case
00:25:22I do forget.
00:25:24So,
00:25:25maybe I should
00:25:26tell you
00:25:26because you're so awesome
00:25:27and trustworthy.
00:25:29Well,
00:25:30if you'd like,
00:25:30go ahead.
00:25:32I'll tell you.
00:25:33But first,
00:25:34I'm going to
00:25:38hit the men's room.
00:25:43This is it.
00:25:45All I need to do
00:25:45is ask him
00:25:46where the code is
00:25:47and my mission
00:25:47is over.
00:25:48Nothing can
00:25:49stop me now.
00:25:50Ariel?

00:25:52ex-boyfriend.

00:43:57that's awesome, man.
00:43:59I'm so happy for you.
00:44:00Hi, Mr. Ellington.
00:44:01Hi, Kurt.
00:44:02Hi, Anna.
00:44:03Yeah,
00:44:04I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:44:06Kurt?
00:44:08Sorry,
00:44:08what were we talking about?
00:44:13Hi, Ariel.
00:44:14Are you
00:44:15all right?
00:44:16Yeah,
00:44:16I'm all right.
00:44:18I actually had an idea
00:44:20about the
00:44:20cherry bowl.
00:44:22Well,
00:44:22we keep reaching out
00:44:23to all of these
00:44:24extravagant venues
00:44:25for their availability.
00:44:27I was thinking
00:44:28we could host it ourselves.
00:44:30Where?
00:44:31I was thinking
00:44:32your house.
00:44:38I don't really like
00:44:41having people
00:44:41over at my house.
00:44:43Well,
00:44:43if we host it ourselves,
00:44:45it seems like
00:44:45a more
00:44:46intimate event.
00:44:48And then we could
00:44:49have it as soon
00:44:49as this weekend.
00:44:51Yeah,
00:44:51that makes sense.
00:44:53Okay,
00:44:54let's do it.
00:44:55Great.
00:44:56I'll send out
00:44:57the invitations.
00:45:00She really knows
00:45:01his company
00:45:01inside and out.
00:45:03What do you know
00:45:04about Ariel?
00:45:07What do you want to know?
00:45:12here you go, Mom.
00:45:23I'm sorry I couldn't
00:45:24stay awake for the movie.
00:45:25I'm just so sleepy.
00:45:27That's okay.
00:45:28We can watch it
00:45:28next weekend.
00:45:30Sweetie,
00:45:31you should be going out
00:45:31with your friends
00:45:32on a Saturday night.
00:45:34Mom,
00:45:34you are my friend.
00:45:35people your age,
00:45:37who you can be
00:45:38out dancing with,
00:45:40flirting with boys.
00:45:42I actually
00:45:43kind of have
00:45:44this one boy.
00:45:45What?
00:45:45What's he like?
00:45:47It's complicated.
00:45:49Honey,
00:45:50you just need
00:45:50to follow your heart.
00:45:52Yeah,
00:45:53he's kind of sweet.
00:45:57Oh.
00:46:00Oh.
00:46:01Sweetie,
00:46:02I'm fine.
00:46:04I just need
00:46:04some rest.
00:46:05And then after
00:46:25your speech,
00:46:26we're going to
00:46:26dance the night away.
00:46:29I'm dreading
00:46:29giving this speech.
00:46:31I guess I'll just
00:46:31picture everyone
00:46:32wearing their underwear
00:46:33and I'll be fine, right?
00:46:34I always thought
00:46:35that was a little
00:46:35pervy, but

00:46:38you're going
00:46:39to be amazing.
00:46:41Thank you

00:46:46It was genius.
00:46:47I need to
00:46:48make it up to
00:46:49you at some point.
00:46:50I was just
00:46:50doing my job,
00:46:51Mr. Ellington.
00:46:55Well,
00:46:55I should get going.
00:46:56Wait,
00:46:57I should probably
00:46:58call Valentina, right?
00:47:00Make sure
00:47:01the dress fits.
00:47:03I'm sure
00:47:04she'd appreciate that.
00:47:05All right.
00:47:06Good night.
00:47:18Hello, darling.
00:47:19I just wanted

00:48:03Listen,
00:48:04random,
00:48:05does Hannah
00:48:05have a boyfriend?
00:48:08I don't think so.
00:48:10Do you like her?
00:48:12No.
00:48:13No.
00:48:13No.
00:48:14No.
00:48:14No, I'm just
00:48:15trying to make
00:48:16friendly conversation.
00:48:18Yeah.
00:48:20We need more balloons
00:48:21in the dining room.
00:48:24Oh.
00:48:26You're still here.
00:48:27Yeah.
00:48:28Uh, listen.
00:48:29If someone
00:48:31were to ask
00:48:32Hannah
00:48:33to dance,
00:48:34what do you think
00:48:35the chances are
00:48:35that she would say
00:48:36yes?
00:48:38Probably good.
00:48:40Are you going
00:48:41to ask her to dance?
00:48:41No.
00:48:42No.
00:48:43No, no, no, no, no.
00:48:44No, I'm just, um,
00:48:46a fan of,
00:48:47of wild,
00:48:48hypothetical scenarios.
00:48:49That one just
00:48:50sprung to mind.
00:48:51Mm-hmm.
00:48:52Okay.
00:48:54Yeah.
00:48:56Um,
00:48:57well,

00:49:11And you must be Ariel.
00:49:17Yes, hi.
00:49:20Hmm.
00:49:21You know,
00:49:21my grandson
00:49:22has spoken very fondly
00:49:23of you.
00:49:24He has?
00:49:24Oh, yes, yes.
00:49:25In fact,
00:49:26he says that,
00:49:27well,
00:49:27this whole thing
00:49:28was your idea.
00:49:30I suppose so.
00:49:32Wonderful.
00:49:34Kind of reminds me
00:49:35of something
00:49:35Blaine's father
00:49:36would have done
00:49:37if he were
00:49:37in Blaine's situation.
00:49:39Wow,
00:49:40that's such an honor.
00:49:41I heard he was
00:49:42a great man.
00:49:43He was a great man.
00:49:45Martina,
00:49:47have you had
00:49:47the pleasure
00:49:48of meeting
00:49:48Blaine's assistant,
00:49:49Ariel?
00:49:50Yes, briefly.
00:49:51She's really helped
00:49:52Blaine become
00:49:53quite an impressive CEO.
00:49:54Yes, she has.
00:49:56In fact,
00:49:56I can,
00:49:56I can see her
00:49:58playing a bigger role
00:49:59than Ellington
00:50:00if she keeps it up.
00:50:02Why wait?
00:50:02She could be a part
00:50:03of something huge tonight.
00:50:05Really?
00:50:06I think so.
00:50:07Don't you,
00:50:08Ariel?
00:50:09Uh,
00:50:09Miss Hunt?
00:50:11Amazing.
00:50:12Well,
00:50:13I can't wait.
00:50:18Me either.
00:50:19Me either.
00:50:23I can't wait.
00:50:37I can't wait.
00:50:54Ariel
00:50:56Blaine
00:50:58There you are
00:50:59I've been looking everywhere for you
00:51:00Here I am
00:51:01Have you seen Valentina?
00:51:04No, I don't think so
00:51:05About your height, flowy hair, no glasses
00:51:08Um, no, no, I don't think so
00:51:11In fact
00:51:12What?
00:51:14Nothing
00:51:15It's ridiculous
00:51:16I better say hi to those guests
00:51:18But if you could find her for me, that would be great
00:51:21I'll get right on that
00:51:23Thank you
00:51:23Bye
00:51:24Just go out there and hype Blaine up
00:51:35So he can deliver his speech
00:51:36Then we're back to finding the drive
00:51:38Okay
00:51:40He can do this
00:51:42Oh, hi Ariel
00:51:45Um, he must be mistaken, love
00:51:49I don't know this Ariel you speak of
00:51:52Yeah, okay
00:51:54Ariel
00:51:55No, seriously
00:51:57My name is Valentina Kingsley
00:51:59And I'm a very wealthy socialite
00:52:01Oh, I get it
00:52:03It's like one of those improv games or something
00:52:06No, no, no, no game
00:52:07My name is Valentina
00:52:09How should I be?
00:52:11Just be yourself
00:52:12I'm the Queen of England
00:52:14You can really tell it's me?
00:52:18Yeah, but I mean, I can be very observant
00:52:22Really?
00:52:23Okay, well, Hannah
00:52:25It's very important that this stays between us
00:52:27Okay
00:52:28Can I ask why?
00:52:30Well, it's really complicated
00:52:32Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this
00:52:36Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:52:38Yeah, sure
00:52:40Aw, well, good luck with whatever this is
00:52:44Yeah, thanks
00:52:48I'm gonna need it
00:52:49Ah, there you are, darling
00:53:11Ah, Valentina
00:53:12I'm so glad to see you
00:53:14Look at this place
00:53:15I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday
00:53:19I'm glad it lives up to your approval
00:53:20Of course
00:53:21You're doing a speech, I see
00:53:23Well, I'm not much of a speech giver
00:53:26They're gonna eat you up, darling
00:53:28You make me feel so confident
00:53:31I need to be looking at you when I give my speech
00:53:34Of course
00:53:42Okay, perfect
00:53:43Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside
00:53:46I must go speak with her
00:53:47Ah, Valentina
00:53:48I was thinking
00:53:50Maybe tonight I could show you the AI code
00:53:54Yes
00:53:56I would love to see what you've been working on
00:53:59Great
00:54:00Where would this be taking place?
00:54:02In the study, or?
00:54:03Upstairs
00:54:04Hidden in a very high-tech safe
00:54:07Ah, I see
00:54:09You actually inspired my security team
00:54:12To create a new hiding space for it
00:54:14What the heck did I say?
00:54:18I'll give you a hint
00:54:19If you were to look for it
00:54:20You'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world
00:54:23I'll let you get back to socializing
00:54:26Good luck, darling
00:54:29Thank you
00:54:33Excuse me
00:54:52What are you doing in here?
00:54:55Excuse me
00:55:00What are you doing in here?
00:55:03Um
00:55:03And who are you?
00:55:05Oh
00:55:05Um
00:55:06Uh
00:55:07Um
00:55:08I
00:55:08I, um
00:55:09You look lost
00:55:12I am darling
00:55:14I am lost
00:55:15I've been to a lot of mansions
00:55:17But this one is big
00:55:19Grandfather
00:55:21Yes
00:55:21Mrs. Valentina Kingsley
00:55:23Blaine's new girlfriend
00:55:24Oh
00:55:27Oh
00:55:27Yes
00:55:27Yes
00:55:27From the front page of the Times
00:55:29Yes
00:55:30I've heard a lot about you
00:55:31I hope it was all good things
00:55:33Well
00:55:34I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now
00:55:37Since his father passed
00:55:39And I trust that Blaine is, uh
00:55:41Treating you
00:55:42Respectfully
00:55:44Like a lady
00:55:45He is
00:55:46Well
00:55:47It was a good thing that we were up here to find you
00:55:49If it had been during Blaine's speech
00:55:51No one would know you're here
00:55:53Right
00:55:55Good thing
00:55:56Shall we return to the party?
00:56:00Yes we shall
00:56:01Very nice meeting you, Mrs. Kingsley
00:56:03You too, sir
00:56:05Mm-hmm
00:56:06You seem quiet
00:56:26Is everything okay?
00:56:28Everything's fine, darling
00:56:29Hey, Valentina
00:56:31I have a girl question
00:56:33For you
00:56:34Oh my God
00:56:38For the love of God
00:56:39You clearly have a crush on Hannah
00:56:40Just ask her to dance
00:56:41You just met me
00:56:43You can already tell
00:56:44Yes
00:56:44You read me like a book
00:56:47And I see what Blaine sees in you
00:56:49You're really inquilitive
00:56:50In fact
00:56:51I'll go butter her up for you
00:56:53Would you?
00:56:54That would be great
00:56:55Dude
00:56:57Dude
00:56:57Hannah
00:57:01I need a favor
00:57:02Anything
00:57:03When Blaine is giving his speech
00:57:05I'm going to step away
00:57:06If anyone asks
00:57:07I'm not feeling well
00:57:08And Ariel
00:57:09Is going to help Valentina
00:57:11Get some medicine
00:57:12Got it

00:58:18Before we get started
00:58:19Thank two people
00:58:20Who, without their help

00:58:40Oh, hi
00:58:42You haven't seen Valentina
00:58:45Around, haven't you?
00:58:46I wanted to try to find her
00:58:47So she could watch
00:58:48Plain speech
00:58:48Valentina is sick
00:58:50And Ariel was helping her
00:58:53Get medicine
00:58:53Oh, okay

00:59:51Blaine mentioned something I said
00:59:57What the heck did I say?
00:59:59So
01:00:06Tonight
01:00:07I'm pledging
01:00:08Ten million dollars
01:00:10To help research cures
01:00:12For illnesses and disorders unknown
01:00:14Thank you all for coming

01:00:17On the dance floor
01:00:17I'm sorry, mom
01:00:37I feel to you
01:00:47I'll give you a hint
01:01:08If you were to look for it
01:01:10You'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world
01:01:13He wasn't talking about the painting
01:01:17He was talking about me
01:01:21He was talking about me
01:01:43Okay
01:01:44Okay
01:01:56Okay
01:02:09I think Ariel
01:02:13What could the numbers be?
01:02:26It couldn't be our first date
01:02:27Could it?
01:02:28Okay
01:02:39I've got the code
01:02:55Excellent, darling
01:02:57I'll give it to you after the ball
01:02:59Or you could give it to me now
01:03:01Flora
01:03:03What are you doing here?
01:03:08I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be
01:03:12Just like you, apparently
01:03:14The code, darling
01:03:17The future
01:03:22In the palm of my hand
01:03:25I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you
01:03:28Blaine's a good man
01:03:30You're awful
01:03:33He's rich, darling
01:03:34He'll get over it
01:03:35My mom
01:03:36And her surgery
01:03:38I've been accused of many things
01:03:41But I always keep my word
01:03:43Now
01:03:44Go and celebrate
01:03:45You deserve it, darling
01:03:46Balancina
01:03:59Hi, darling
01:03:59There you are
01:04:14How are you feeling?
01:04:17Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling
01:04:19Excellent
01:04:20Care to dance?
01:04:22Certainly
01:04:23Well, well, well, well
01:04:28Look at the happy couple
01:04:32How did you get in?
01:04:39Oh, I have my ways
01:04:40We lied about our names on the guest list
01:04:43Anyway
01:04:44I just came here to congratulate you
01:04:48On your little events
01:04:50You need to leave
01:04:52Actually, I don't think I do
01:04:53Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is
01:04:57She's Valentina Kingsley
01:04:58No, no, no
01:05:00There is no Valentina Kingsley
01:05:03What?
01:05:04If only your little assistant
01:05:06Had assisted you
01:05:08In researching her
01:05:09You know, it's funny
01:05:10I haven't actually seen her
01:05:12All night
01:05:13Blaine, don't listen to him
01:05:15What is he talking about?
01:05:16Yes, she may have fooled everyone in here
01:05:21But an ex-boyfriend
01:05:23Never forgets a but
01:05:25Ariel?
01:05:36Ariel?
01:05:36Ariel?
01:05:36Ariel?
01:05:36Ariel?
01:05:36Ariel?
01:05:38Ariel?
01:05:39Ariel?
01:05:40Ariel?
01:05:40Ariel?
01:05:40Ariel?
01:05:40Ariel?
01:05:41Ariel?
01:05:41Ariel?
01:05:41Ariel?
01:05:46Ariel?
01:05:47This whole time you've been Valentina?
01:05:50That's right
01:05:51This whole time you pretended to care about me
01:05:55But you're just a liar
01:05:57And worse
01:05:58She's poor
01:06:00Why?
01:06:01Yes, Ariel
01:06:03But why?
01:06:05I'm so sorry
01:06:06Ariel, Ariel, wait
01:06:08How embarrassing
01:06:11You know
01:06:14I looked into you
01:06:16You're in so much debt
01:06:17That it's surprising
01:06:18That you can't even rent
01:06:19The Lambo that you drove here
01:06:21How preposterous
01:06:22If anybody looks into that
01:06:24It will be a complete waste of time
01:06:25Ew
01:06:26You're poor?
01:06:30Regina!
01:06:33Whew
01:06:34You're my hero
01:06:36Thanks
01:06:37Sometimes I gotta just
01:06:39Gotta tell
01:06:39You know
01:06:40Ariel
01:06:44What are you smiling about?
01:06:55I mean, come on
01:06:56This proves it, right?
01:06:58He's a joke
01:06:59No, he's your brother, Martina
01:07:02He's a liability, Richard
01:07:04And you are giving him the company
01:07:06With the luxury of not having to deal with this shit show
01:07:08Because you won't be alive much longer
01:07:10Oh, well, don't bet on that
01:07:11You know, you've got a lot of nerve
01:07:13Talking to me like this, kid
01:07:15You've got a lot of nerve
01:07:17Letting this shit go down
01:07:19When the lifeboat is right in front of you
01:07:20I should be running this company
01:07:22Or
01:07:24Is this what success looks like to you?
01:07:30Look, I'm not for it
01:07:32I don't want to hear it
01:07:32I do not want to hear it
01:07:34I promise you
01:07:35You lied to me
01:07:35Not only did you lie to me
01:07:36But you embarrassed me in there
01:07:38That is fair
01:07:39Come on
01:07:39Come on
01:07:40That is fair
01:07:41Come on
01:07:41Come on
01:07:42Come on
01:07:42Regina
01:07:45Regina
01:07:45That was a disaster
01:08:08I just don't understand
01:08:12Why would she go through all that?
01:08:16I don't know
01:08:16But
01:08:17These scandals are exhausting
01:08:20Yeah
01:08:21I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon
01:08:24Why?
01:08:29I got a lot to think about
01:08:31What do you mean?
01:08:33I mean
01:08:34We may have to take the company
01:08:35In a complete different direction
01:08:37If we're going to gain back
01:08:38The public's trust
01:08:39You can't be serious
01:08:41Oh
01:08:42Something better happen sooner
01:08:47I guess much worse
01:08:49Did she want anything from you?
01:08:53I don't know, Martina
01:08:55Nothing valuable?
01:08:56Martina
01:08:57I said I don't
01:08:58No
01:09:19No
01:09:19Ariel
01:09:28Baby
01:09:29Oh
01:09:31You look like you had a rough night
01:09:33It was a disaster, really
01:09:36I feel awful
01:09:38Oh
01:09:39I'm so sorry to hear that, baby
01:09:41Thanks, Mom
01:09:42Well
01:09:44I have something to tell you
01:09:46Dr. Westfall called
01:09:48Are you okay?
01:09:49What's going on?
01:09:50He
01:09:51Said
01:09:52That anonymous donor
01:09:53Sent in the funds
01:09:54For me to have my operation
01:09:56What?
01:09:57I'm scheduled for surgery
01:09:58On Tuesday
01:09:59Oh my God
01:10:00Oh
01:10:01Mom, I'm so happy
01:10:05I think this calls for my
01:10:07Famous chocolate cake, huh?
01:10:09I agree
01:10:18It's time to celebrate
01:10:43To the future, darling
01:10:47Drink
01:10:53You've worked much too hard
01:10:55Not to revel in your victory
01:10:56There it is
01:11:01Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:11:04People walk in and out of my office
01:11:07Having no idea what's in the room with them
01:11:09Of course, I won't be able to enjoy too much longer
01:11:13Since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight
01:11:15I guess I just feel bad
01:11:17To get what you want in life
01:11:20Sometimes you have to do bold things
01:11:22Break the rules a little
01:11:24I guess
01:11:26Ask any CEO
01:11:29And they'll agree
01:11:30Including your little boy toy
01:11:32Blaine would never do anything like that
01:11:34Well, anyway
01:11:36Speaking of money
01:11:38Let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:11:41What?
01:11:42All I need is your wiring info
01:11:43And I can send it on over
01:11:45I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed?
01:11:50I'm sorry
01:11:50You haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:11:53No
01:11:54That's why we're here, isn't it?
01:11:58Not, Aline
01:11:59All right
01:12:23One more drink
01:12:25And we'll start packing up my things
01:12:26Deal, one more
01:12:29Anna
01:12:34Hi, Mr. Ellington
01:12:35May I come in?
01:12:36Sure
01:12:36Come on in
01:12:37Hi, cutie
01:12:39Care for a drink?
01:12:43Oh, no
01:12:43I stopped drinking on the job ages ago
01:12:45Wait, what was that?
01:12:47Mr. Ellington
01:12:47I have a delivery for you
01:12:49From who?
01:12:51Ariel
01:12:51From who?
01:12:57Ariel
01:12:57I don't want it
01:12:59Take it back
01:13:00She said you might say that
01:13:02But she said that it was very, very important
01:13:04How important?
01:13:07I don't know
01:13:08But she did say that it was something so important
01:13:10That she only trusted me to deliver it
01:13:12So it must be a big deal
01:13:13Oh, my God
01:13:28Oh, my God
01:13:29Ew, what's happening?
01:13:31What's going on?
01:13:32What does it mean?
01:13:33What does it mean?
01:13:37Oh, my God
01:13:43Oh, Flora
01:13:51Yes, darling
01:13:52Your appointment had to leave early
01:13:54I asked if they wanted to schedule
01:13:55But they said no
01:13:56I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today
01:13:59What was the name?
01:14:03Valentina Kingsley
01:14:04You're rich
01:14:22You'll get over it
01:14:24Darling
01:14:25What's going on?
01:14:40What does this mean?
01:14:46Thank you
01:14:46For everything
01:14:47Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh
01:14:54That thing
01:14:54I'd love to
01:14:56Yes, yes
01:14:56Let's, uh, do that
01:14:57Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:15:09Lane
01:15:09There's no easy way for me to say this
01:15:12But it's time
01:15:15But it's time
01:15:24To celebrate
01:15:30You are going to regret this
01:15:36I promise you that
01:15:37Geeze
01:15:42What did you do?
01:15:43I don't know, girl
01:15:44But the way she wears that dress
01:15:46She can step on me
01:15:48Any day
01:15:49Let me see
01:15:51I knew you could do it
01:15:52I know
01:15:52You know
01:15:54Your dad would be so proud of you
01:15:58Ha, ha, ha
01:16:00Ha, ha
01:16:07Dr. Westphal
01:16:09Oh, hi, Ariel
01:16:10Hey, surgery over
01:16:11How did it go?
01:16:12Yes, we just finished
01:16:13Um, there were complications
01:16:15Well
01:16:15Complications?
01:16:16Yes, but
01:16:17We were able to work through them
01:16:18And your mother's going to be just fine
01:16:20Really?
01:16:22Yeah, really, yes
01:16:23In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now
01:16:25She's going to need to rest for a few hours
01:16:27But when she wakes up
01:16:28She's going to feel better than she has in a long time
01:16:30I can't thank you enough
01:16:32I'm happy to help
01:16:37Thank you
01:17:07Come in, come in. Welcome.
01:17:18Ariel?
01:17:20Mom, when did you leave out of bed? The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:17:24I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window and I got kind of excited.
01:17:30Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:17:32No, thank you, but thank you.
01:17:33Oh, thank you. Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:17:37Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:17:40Oh, of course. I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:17:54I'm so, so sorry.
01:17:56I, uh, I understand why you did it.
01:18:01And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:18:04Thank you for everything.
01:18:08I don't even know where to start.
01:18:12I'm not looking for an apology.
01:18:15You're not?
01:18:16No.
01:18:17See, I'm still CEO and I need an assistant.
01:18:21And you're kind of the best in town.
01:18:23I accept.
01:18:27And, uh, I'm still looking for a girlfriend.
01:18:34Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:18:38I love you, Valentina.
01:18:52I, I mean, Ariel.
01:18:54That's gonna take some getting used to.
01:18:58There aren't any starry rooftop views here,
01:19:01but this is my special place.
01:19:03It's even better.
01:19:05It's even better.
01:19:05It's even better.
