00:00:00You can do this.
00:00:03You're so...
00:00:04Rich?
00:00:06Sexy?
00:00:07Soon we'll be queens at the table.
00:00:09Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery.
00:00:12Drinking with him, I'm going to bed with him.
00:00:14So you do trust me?
00:00:17She already has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:00:20I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:00:30Sophisticated, generous, gorgeous.
00:00:35The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.
00:00:38Blaine's a good man.
00:00:39You're awful.
00:00:40Oh my God, do you have feelings for him?
00:00:43I am annoyed.
00:00:45Time is running out, understand?
00:00:47My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:00:50This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:00:53Now you know exactly where it is.
00:00:54Get it.
00:00:56What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:00:58Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?
00:01:05Ariel!
00:01:16Hey, this is Richard Allenton.
00:01:17I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message.
00:01:21Hey, Grandpa.
00:01:22It's one thing to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody two-shoe women.
00:01:31But to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind date, that's low.
00:01:37Let's hope this one's different.
00:01:43I don't even know what to say to this guy.
00:01:46I don't know how to talk to rich people.
00:01:49Be sexy.
00:01:50Darling, just act better than everyone else in the room.
00:01:54And being sexy is easy.
00:01:57Bite your lip.
00:01:57Push up the girls.
00:01:59It works every time.
00:02:01Wait, what girls?
00:02:03And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily.
00:02:06So challenge them.
00:02:07Be bold and put them on the spot.
00:02:10I don't think I can do this.
00:02:12The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your mother's surgery.
00:02:18It's your call.
00:02:19I don't think I can do this.
00:02:49Are you going to stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:02:53Of course.
00:03:01Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.
00:03:07You're so...
00:03:08Rich?
00:03:10Sexy?
00:03:11Frankly, yes.
00:03:14Sorry, what was her name?
00:03:15Um, Valentina Kingsley.
00:03:20And you are?
00:03:21Blaine Ellington, CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:03:26And this is a successful company?
00:03:29It's not ringing any bells.
00:03:32Waiter?
00:03:33Yes, Mr. Ellington.
00:03:34You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:03:38Yes, of course.
00:03:39If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:03:42It's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:03:45You want two?
00:03:47Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.
00:03:50Better bring three.
00:03:52Yes, of course, right away, sir.
00:03:58And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:04:02I invest.
00:04:04In what?
00:04:06In everything.
00:04:08What am I not investing in?
00:04:12Businesses.
00:04:14Charities.
00:04:16I see.
00:04:17And you live in the city?
00:04:20The city.
00:04:22The hills.
00:04:24My yacht.
00:04:26My private island.
00:04:29I'm everywhere, darling.
00:04:30You're so impressive.
00:04:34So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:04:37Hmm.
00:04:38Doesn't surprise me.
00:04:39I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:04:45Um.
00:04:46You've got a little, uh...
00:04:59Kurt?
00:05:00Kurt?
00:05:00What's my manager doing here?
00:05:04Blaine.
00:05:07My business dinner just ended.
00:05:09The presentation for the China branch.
00:05:10Looking good.
00:05:11Amazing.
00:05:12You're the best, Kurt.
00:05:12Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two.
00:05:14I just wanted to say hi.
00:05:17Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:05:19Ended up being a blind date.
00:05:20Ah, classic.
00:05:22All right, well, you two have fun.
00:05:30I've got to be honest with you.
00:05:34You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.
00:05:38Would you like to come to my place?
00:05:39I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:05:43Absolutely, darling.
00:05:51Whoa.
00:05:53Welcome to my home.
00:05:55After you.
00:06:09You like what you say?
00:06:26You're getting there, darling.
00:06:28Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:06:31Well then, shall we get started?
00:06:37Uh, not so fast.
00:06:40Okay.
00:06:41A little foreplay?
00:06:42I did not think this through at all.
00:06:45How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:06:52Looking for something?
00:06:54Oh, um...
00:06:55Ah.
00:06:59I should have known that was your style.
00:07:03Oh, yes, darling.
00:07:05Ugh, I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:07:08I'm not used to being the one tied up.
00:07:10It's usually the other way around.
00:07:17Valentina?
00:07:19Patience, darling.
00:07:20I'm building the suspense.
00:07:23Ah, I see.
00:07:25Where could it be?
00:07:26Right.
00:07:27And you say guys actually like this?
00:07:30Oh, yes.
00:07:31It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:07:38How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:07:45That's...
00:07:45That's new.
00:07:49The painting!
00:07:50Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:07:52Oh, uh...
00:07:53Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:07:57It looks exactly like the one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:08:02It's where I keep my safe.
00:08:04People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:08:08Thought that was only in the movies.
00:08:11Oh, no.
00:08:11It's quite popular.
00:08:14Where do you hide your luxurious safekeepings?
00:08:17In a super, super, super secret hiding place.
00:08:22Oh, come on.
00:08:25Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?
00:08:29Oh, uh...
00:08:30Most unfortunate.
00:08:32I'm getting the utmost important business call,
00:08:35and I must take it.
00:08:37Right now?
00:08:38What?
00:08:39What about me?
00:08:41Valentina!
00:08:41Wait!
00:08:46Untie me!
00:08:51Ew.
00:08:52Really, Blaine?
00:08:54What?
00:08:55But you and your models.
00:08:58Last night was not a model.
00:09:00I was actually impressed.
00:09:03Did I hear it right?
00:09:05Blaine actually had a date he liked.
00:09:08It was fantastic.
00:09:09The other girls are so boring.
00:09:12But this one, she's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:09:16I must see her again.
00:09:18Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:09:22It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with
00:09:24and running the company.
00:09:29Grandfather.
00:09:30Hmm?
00:09:30Listen to him.
00:09:32He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:09:34I am much more qualified.
00:09:35Oh, yeah.
00:09:35I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:09:40No, no, no, no.
00:09:42Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:09:45Right?
00:09:46Yeah, you weren't meant to be some CEO.
00:09:49No, but Blaine.
00:09:50Blaine will learn in time.
00:09:53Whatever.
00:09:55Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:09:57I have actual work to attend to.
00:10:00Oh, yeah, yeah, thanks.
00:10:11Hello?
00:10:12How's our plan going, darling?
00:10:16To perfection.
00:10:19Charity has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:10:22It won't be long until he slips up,
00:10:23and I can step in and take my throne
00:10:26as Ellington's CEO.
00:10:28Brilliant.
00:10:29It's all coming together perfectly.
00:10:32And the VR tech you're developing,
00:10:34it'll be ready in time
00:10:35when I trade the AI code, right?
00:10:36Oh, yes.
00:10:37It'll be ready.
00:10:39Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:10:41What's he doing here?
00:10:56Speaking of girls,
00:10:57I think I know who would be perfect
00:10:58as your new assistant.
00:11:01Sorry.
00:11:02I'm fine.
00:11:05Ariel.
00:11:06How does he know my name?
00:11:08You dropped your badge.
00:11:11There you go.
00:11:17Thanks.
00:11:25She's amazing.
00:11:29Are you playing hide-and-seek?
00:11:30Is that where you were late?
00:11:31Can I hide next?
00:11:32No, I was dropping your mom off at the hospital.
00:11:35Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:11:37Wait, oh my God, is she okay?
00:11:39Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:11:40She's just getting some tests done.
00:11:42Oh, thank goodness.
00:11:44Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:11:46Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:11:49Are you going to apply?
00:11:50I'm good where I am.
00:11:51But all the girls are applying.
00:11:52Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:11:54You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:11:56I think this position is yours.
00:11:57He's gorgeous.
00:12:10I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:12:14Attention, everyone.
00:12:16My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:12:18I will try my best to live up to my father,
00:12:23but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:12:27And since he is adjusting to this new role,
00:12:29I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:12:33Not me, not me, not me.
00:12:35Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:12:38All right, everyone, back to work.
00:12:51You look exactly like...
00:12:55Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:13:01Kurt described.
00:13:03Clean, organized desk, confident composure.
00:13:08There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:13:11This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:13:14When do I start?
00:13:16Perfect.
00:13:17First thing I need help with is there's this file.
00:13:20Oh, um, gotta take a phone call.
00:13:23Send it to me in an email.
00:13:27Ariel, he wants to meet you again.
00:13:30Really?
00:13:32Also, I got you a second number.
00:13:34Just click the link to connect it,
00:13:35so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:13:39Great.
00:13:46New number, huh?
00:13:50Hello?
00:13:51Hello, Ariel.
00:13:52This is Dr. Westphal.
00:13:54We just got your mother's results.
00:13:55It's not what we hoped.
00:14:01So we need to move quickly
00:14:03if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:14:06Okay, I understand.
00:14:08I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:14:11Oh, perfect timing.
00:14:24I just finished dinner.
00:14:26Mom, you should be in bed.
00:14:28Honey, I'm fine.
00:14:29Besides, you've been working all day.
00:14:31You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:14:33Mom, please.
00:14:33Honey, sit down.
00:14:35The doctor called?
00:14:47He says it's gotten worse.
00:14:48Hush, hush, hush, hush.
00:14:50Hush.
00:14:50None of that talk, okay?
00:14:53Mom, eat before your food gets cold.
00:14:55I'll be right back.
00:15:11It's time for the second date, darling.
00:15:14Are you ready?
00:15:16Yeah.
00:15:20Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:15:21I'll make it to go.
00:15:39Oh, where am I?
00:15:44Valentina!
00:15:46Blaine!
00:15:48Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:15:50Do you intend to have me killed?
00:15:52No, not at all.
00:15:54This place is special.
00:15:56Follow me.
00:16:09How many more are?
00:16:10We're almost there.
00:16:11Come on.
00:16:17I'm just kidding.
00:16:20I'm just kidding.
00:16:27Wow.
00:16:28Look at you.
00:16:38Did you look at that view?
00:16:41I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:16:43Just you, actually.
00:16:45I discovered this place after my father died.
00:16:48You're familiar, darling?
00:16:51Yeah.
00:16:53I've been thrown into the CEO position,
00:16:56and I'm a bit in over my head,
00:16:59so I never really get a chance to myself,
00:17:02except when I come here.
00:17:03I'm so sorry.
00:17:05I'm so sorry.
00:17:13My mom is sick.
00:17:18She needs experimental surgery.
00:17:20So now it feels to...
00:17:25Want to get a wee?
00:17:28Yeah.
00:17:31I'm used to getting everything,
00:17:33but this is one thing that money can't buy.
00:17:38So sorry about your mom?
00:17:40Thanks.
00:17:41She's all I've got.
00:17:46I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:17:57Hey, who's out here?
00:18:03What's happening?
00:18:05Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:18:07What?
00:18:07Run.
00:18:08Run.

00:18:19Still!
00:18:25What was that?
00:18:26That was fun.
00:18:28Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:18:30No.
00:18:31I suppose not.
00:18:34I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:18:38I feel like I can be myself around you I feel the same way
00:18:44Will you be my girlfriend Valentina that's right I'm supposed to be Valentina I can't do this to him
00:18:51But I need to pay for my mom's surgery
00:18:58I'd love to
00:19:01Well well well
00:19:08Martina what are you doing here?
00:19:10I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO had to see it for myself
00:19:16Well that blind date went so well the other night it got me thinking maybe grandfather was right
00:19:22Is that so?
00:19:24Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:19:27That's right
00:19:28Wow
00:19:28What's she like?
00:19:30She's funny, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable
00:19:36She's the whole package
00:19:37Sounds like one that dad actually would have approved of
00:19:41I'd love to meet her
00:19:42Oh sorry Mr. Ellington, is this about time?
00:19:48No, not at all
00:19:48My sister just came to visit

00:20:02Well after you lost the keys to the Maserati I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new AI tech that we need
00:20:08I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati and don't you worry
00:20:11I've got the codes right here on this drive
00:20:15And I'm keeping it safe

00:20:37Get it?
00:20:46All right, where's that drive?
00:20:53Are you kidding?

00:21:43Whew
00:21:52That was close
00:21:53Hey girlfriend
00:21:59Can I ask your advice on something?
00:22:02Sure
00:22:02What's going on?
00:22:03So I have this friend who is having boy problems
00:22:07Aren't we all?
00:22:08So she has a crush on her boss
00:22:10And she doesn't know what to do about it
00:22:12Because of the whole workplace relationship thing
00:22:14How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:22:16Wait, I don't like Blaine
00:22:18But he deserves to know though, right?
00:22:20You're gonna tell him?
00:22:21I mean, I don't know
00:22:22Because what if I tell Kurt I like him
00:22:24And he doesn't like me
00:22:25And then it's so totally awkward
00:22:27And so he fires me
00:22:28Because it's so totally awkward
00:22:29Wait, you like Kurt?
00:22:32I gotta go
00:22:33What?
00:22:34Ring, ring
00:22:35Oh, I'm getting a call
00:22:36Ring, ring
00:22:39Ring, ring
00:22:40Ariel
00:22:45Yes, Mr. Ellington
00:22:47I need your personal help
00:22:49Well, I am your personal assistant
00:22:51I've never gotten a girl a gift
00:23:03Wow, really?
00:23:05Um, I mean
00:23:06Yeah
00:23:07First girlfriend, first gift
00:23:09Checks out
00:23:10So
00:23:11I need your help
00:23:12To figure out
00:23:13Which you think
00:23:14A woman would prefer
00:23:16Oh my god
00:23:28I'm gonna be wearing that
00:23:29Sorry?
00:23:31Uh, your girlfriend's gonna be wearing that?
00:23:34Yeah
00:23:34It's pretty nice, right?
00:23:37Well, I mean
00:23:38It's option one
00:23:39Do you think she'll like it?
00:23:42Um
00:23:42Well
00:23:44What's her girlfriend like?
00:23:45What are her
00:23:46Tastes?
00:23:48Um
00:23:49Sophisticated
00:23:50Generous
00:23:52Gorgeous
00:23:53The whole world slows down
00:23:55Whenever she walks into a room
00:23:56I see
00:24:00So
00:24:03Keep that in mind
00:24:04Option two
00:24:06And that's even more revealing than the first one
00:24:12Yeah
00:24:13This is big in Europe
00:24:15Between you and me
00:24:16I'm written for this guy
00:24:17Mm-hmm
00:24:18I see
00:24:19Do you have anything more
00:24:21Modest?
00:24:25Hmm
00:24:25Modest?
00:24:26Yeah
00:24:26That
00:24:27Seems to be the style I've been seeing these days
00:24:30Uh
00:24:31With the rich folk
00:24:32At least
00:24:34You know
00:24:35Now that you say it
00:24:36I think I do have something
00:24:38Aha
00:24:43What do you think?
00:24:49I think she'd really like that
00:24:50Can I have a margarita?
00:25:00You can't be serious, darling
00:25:02She'll have a friend 75 with Konya
00:25:05Flora, what are you doing here?
00:25:08Making sure you look the part
00:25:09You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?
00:25:13Yes, more than anything
00:25:14Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize
00:25:17We need to get our hands on that code fast
00:25:21Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery
00:25:23But until then, we're in this together
00:25:26Yes
00:25:27Yeah
00:25:29Excellent
00:25:30Now, what's your game plan?
00:25:33Make him even more vulnerable
00:25:35And get him to tell me where the code is
00:25:38And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:25:41Um
00:25:41Be nice
00:25:44Your ignorance is both cute and annoying
00:25:50No
00:25:52A man like Blaine Ellington is going to become vulnerable from two things
00:25:58Drinking with him
00:26:00And going to bed with him
00:26:02Right
00:26:04I can do that
00:26:07I hope so
00:26:08Because he's coming this way
00:26:10Get the code soon, honey
00:26:14For your mother
00:26:16Okay
00:26:18Oh
00:26:20And darling
00:26:22Have fun
00:26:23All right
00:26:27Valentina
00:26:29How are you?
00:26:33Wonderful, love
00:26:34I've been looking forward to this all day
00:26:37Is that so?
00:26:38Indeed
00:26:39I was so distracted
00:26:42It affected my croquet score
00:26:44Oh no
00:26:45Distracted over little old me
00:26:46Yes
00:26:47I simply must know everything about you
00:26:51Well, what would you like to know?
00:26:54Everything
00:26:54Well, I don't know about everything
00:26:57It might take some time for me to open up
00:27:00Well
00:27:00Maybe after a few drinks
00:27:03Only if you can keep up
00:27:05See, I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking
00:27:09Oh no
00:27:11Well, here goes nothing
00:27:13Oh man
00:27:18That's really bad
00:27:23Let's stop
00:27:25That's not an act
00:27:26That's funny
00:27:26Let's stop
00:27:28You know
00:27:34My sister
00:27:35Is implying today
00:27:36That I should
00:27:37Tell someone where
00:27:38My new AI code is
00:27:39Because I
00:27:40Forget stuff
00:27:41And
00:27:42Are you
00:27:44Forgetful?
00:27:46I mean
00:27:47Yeah
00:27:48Can you actually believe
00:27:50I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:27:52Really?
00:27:53Yeah
00:27:53It cost me $10,000
00:27:56Just to get them reekied
00:27:58Which is why
00:28:00I should probably tell someone
00:28:03In case
00:28:03I do forget
00:28:05So
00:28:06Maybe I should
00:28:07Tell you
00:28:08Because you're so awesome
00:28:09And trustworthy
00:28:10Well
00:28:11If you'd like
00:28:12Go ahead
00:28:13I'll tell you
00:28:15But first
00:28:16I'm gonna hit the men's room
00:28:22This is it
00:28:27All I need to do
00:28:29Is ask him where the code is
00:28:30And my mission is over
00:28:31Nothing can stop me now
00:28:34Ariel?
00:28:35Except my ex-boyfriend
00:28:37I don't know what you're talking about, darling
00:28:42I
00:28:42Don't know this
00:28:44Ariel
00:28:45No, no, no, no, no
00:28:47You
00:28:48Are definitely Ariel
00:28:50But what are you doing
00:28:52In a place like this?
00:28:54You're poor
00:28:55Fine
00:28:56Please
00:28:57Just leave, Max
00:28:58It's Maximilian now
00:29:00Cause I'm Max
00:29:01And I make millions
00:29:03Whatever
00:29:03Please
00:29:05I'm begging you
00:29:06Look
00:29:06At you
00:29:07You look so much better
00:29:09You look
00:29:10Oh, what's that word?
00:29:13Rich?
00:29:14Please
00:29:15I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately
00:29:17But I've become very rich
00:29:20Yes
00:29:21You've sent me 50 messages about it
00:29:23I had to block your number
00:29:24Oh
00:29:24Yeah, that's right
00:29:26Please, I'll do whatever you want, okay?
00:29:28I just
00:29:29How about a kiss for old time's sake?
00:29:32You know, Ariel, sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together
00:29:38This isn't happening
00:29:39Do you not remember when we'd go and get Taco Tuesday at that Mexican restaurant and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:29:48I'm embarrassed
00:29:49Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:29:52Yes
00:29:53He does
00:29:53A situationship at best
00:29:55Let go, Max
00:29:57Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher
00:30:00Get off her
00:30:01Blaine
00:30:04Ellington?
00:30:05Max Fletcher
00:30:06Maximilian?
00:30:07What are you doing with that peasant?
00:30:10That's my girlfriend you're talking about
00:30:12Blaine Ellington
00:30:14Getting my sloppy seconds
00:30:16This isn't over
00:30:31Come on, Regina
00:30:35Just stay away from my man, skink
00:30:41He's actually trying to
00:30:44Are you okay?
00:30:48Yeah, I think so
00:30:50We gotta get out of here
00:30:51This isn't good
00:31:01Care to explain this?
00:31:03I assume the article does a good job
00:31:06Getting into a physical altercation
00:31:09In a bar?
00:31:12What are you, a child?
00:31:14I'm not a child
00:31:15But he started it
00:31:17I don't care who started it
00:31:19Ellington is a company
00:31:21Based in family values
00:31:23I was out with my girlfriend
00:31:26Trying to uphold those family values
00:31:28No, no, no, no, don't, don't, don't
00:31:29Don't play the girlfriend card
00:31:31Okay, the onus is you on this, pal
00:31:33Maybe your sister was right
00:31:37Maybe you're too much of a risk
00:31:39Even though you say you've settled down
00:31:41Either way
00:31:43I just hope all this boils over
00:31:45Next time we talk
00:31:46What would your father think?
00:31:49Unleady lies the head that wears a crown
00:32:09What is that?
00:32:11Some family motto
00:32:12I'm not aware of?
00:32:13It's Shakespeare, you idiot
00:32:14Ah
00:32:15What are you doing here?
00:32:17You don't want any of this
00:32:18You don't know what I want
00:32:21Uh, booze and bimbos?
00:32:24But does page one of the paper
00:32:25Say something different?
00:32:27She's not a bimbo
00:32:28Then don't treat her like one
00:32:31Treat her like
00:32:33Dad treated mom
00:32:35How do you mean?
00:32:41Bring her completely into your life
00:32:43Let her know everything about you
00:32:46I'm trying to
00:32:47Just last night
00:32:48We were sharing everything with each other
00:32:50Okay, share more
00:32:51Behind most men's success
00:32:54Is a strong woman
00:32:55I will
00:32:57I'm gonna get close to this woman
00:32:59You'll see
00:33:00And you will be like
00:33:03Two lovely berries
00:33:04Molded onto one stem
00:33:06Shakespeare
00:33:07Yeah
00:33:10Ow
00:33:10Martina, how are you?
00:33:24How am I?
00:33:26Yeah
00:33:27How are you?
00:33:28I am annoyed
00:33:28Time is running out, understand?
00:33:31Mm-hmm
00:33:31We chose you because we thought you could get the job done
00:33:34But now I'm not so sure
00:33:36Wait
00:33:38Oh my god, do you have feelings for him?
00:33:42What?
00:33:43No
00:33:44I hope not
00:33:45Because you have four days to get that code
00:33:47Or you can say bye to mommy
00:33:49Other than that
00:33:52I am fine
00:33:53I am fine
00:33:53Thanks for asking
00:33:55Happy hump day, bestie!
00:34:08It's Tuesday, Hannah
00:34:10Oh, right
00:34:11Hey, how's your guide trouble coming?
00:34:13Better
00:34:14And worse
00:34:16That sounds super complicated
00:34:19You have no idea
00:34:20Hey, are you?
00:34:22Can you come in here?
00:34:23I'll be right there
00:34:24Good thing you've got work to distract you
00:34:26Good thing
00:34:28Oh, you have the file for the new China branch?
00:34:37Yeah
00:34:38Long night
00:34:47You know what
00:34:50Let's forget about the file
00:34:53Let's just close our eyes for, um, ten minutes
00:35:07That's an order
00:35:16Okay
00:35:18This is nice
00:35:27Yeah
00:35:28This should be like
00:35:31An everyday thing
00:35:33Mm-hmm
00:35:35Good morning
00:35:39Another beautiful day in Ellington
00:35:40Let's get it
00:35:41Woo!
00:35:42Oh, Hannah
00:35:43Well
00:35:48I guess that's over
00:35:51Um
00:35:53Well, everything should be there
00:35:55I can't even concentrate on work right now
00:36:00Oh?
00:36:02Why?
00:36:03Well
00:36:03I don't know if you heard, but
00:36:05Oh, my
00:36:09That's, uh, quite a scene
00:36:11Well, I'm glad you weren't there
00:36:13I can imagine
00:36:15Yeah, I just
00:36:17I hope
00:36:18My girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle
00:36:21You should just talk to her
00:36:24And be honest
00:36:26Yeah
00:36:26I'm gonna call her
00:36:28What?
00:36:32Yeah, can you be in the room when I do it?
00:36:35Uh, you want me in the room?
00:36:37Yeah, maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her
00:36:41Tell me if she sounds upset
00:36:43Uh, I don't know if I feel comfortable
00:36:48Oh, gosh, she makes me so nervous
00:36:50I'm sure you make her nervous, too
00:36:52Shit, shit, shit
00:36:54Uh-oh
00:36:55Uh-oh
00:36:58Think, Ariel, think
00:37:01Uh, I'm gonna be sick
00:37:03Bathroom
00:37:04Hello, darling
00:37:12Hey, Valentina
00:37:14How are you?
00:37:17Thriving, my dear
00:37:18How are you feeling?
00:37:21A little banged up, but
00:37:22I've been worse
00:37:23You should have been with me in my partying days in Ibiza
00:37:26I was an absolute heathen
00:37:34Well, I'm glad to hear you're feeling all right
00:37:37Uh, I was worried
00:37:40No need, darling
00:37:43I'm actually at the spa right now
00:37:46Uh, I wanted to know if, uh, I get to see you again
00:37:51You will
00:37:53Very soon
00:37:54Uh, sorry
00:38:02Can I help you?
00:38:04I-I couldn't hear you
00:38:06It-it kinda sounded like
00:38:07Uh, uh, sorry
00:38:08Eduardo is calling me for my
00:38:11Hot-hot stone massage
00:38:13Must be going
00:38:14Okay, uh, sure
00:38:16See you
00:38:17Ta-ta
00:38:18Community theater
00:38:25Mm
00:38:26Character
00:38:27I'm rehearsing
00:38:29We're a mystery
00:38:32I'll, uh, send you the dates
00:38:36I'm not in the theater
00:38:38That's fair
00:38:41Mom, I'm home
00:38:57Hi, honey
00:38:58How was your day?
00:38:59It was
00:39:03Not boring
00:39:04How was yours?
00:39:06It was wonderful
00:39:08I did laundry
00:39:10Watched some soaps
00:39:11Um, what are you cooking?
00:39:15I told you I was gonna cook tonight
00:39:17Well, you weren't home yet
00:39:18And I wanted to go ahead and get started
00:39:20So your co-worker could have some too
00:39:21My co-worker
00:39:23Hello, darling
00:39:26Flora
00:39:33What are you doing here?
00:39:36I was going to call you about a few work questions
00:39:39But I was, uh, in the neighborhood
00:39:41And thought I'd drop in
00:39:44Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion
00:39:48You didn't say anything about a job promotion
00:39:50I guess it slipped my mind
00:39:53Well, you two don't mind me
00:39:56Go ahead and have your work talk
00:39:57Dinner will be ready soon
00:39:59What are you doing here?
00:40:12Checking in to see what progress was made last night
00:40:14I, um, I got close to finding out where he hit the drive
00:40:18But I, um
00:40:20But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:40:23I'll get you the drive soon, I promise
00:40:25Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast
00:40:28You are not getting attached
00:40:31What? No, of course not
00:40:34Good
00:40:34I was worried you were developing feelings for the man
00:40:38Dinner's ready
00:40:41Deeply sorry, darling
00:40:44Urgent business, must be taking off
00:40:46Oh, um, okay, well
00:40:48It was nice meeting you
00:40:49You too, darling
00:40:51Mwah
00:40:52Tick tock
00:40:57Alright, I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal
00:41:13Any ideas?
00:41:16In a rehab
00:41:17Too tacky
00:41:19Go volunteer in a third world country?
00:41:22Mmm
00:41:23Too obvious
00:41:24Record an apology video for social media
00:41:26And post it there
00:41:27Too cringe
00:41:29Adopt an orphan
00:41:34Now that is something
00:41:36Ariel
00:41:36How good are you at raising kids?
00:41:38Um, let's think of other options
00:41:40What about a charity ball?
00:41:45Yes
00:41:46That's it
00:41:47That's the one
00:41:47I like that
00:41:49I like it a lot
00:41:50Isn't she good?
00:41:52Phenomenal
00:41:53Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant
00:41:57So, really, this kind of all comes back to
00:41:59Got it
00:42:00Wait
00:42:00What charity would it be for?
00:42:02How about unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:42:06I love that
00:42:07Let's get it rolling
00:42:09I'll start right away
00:42:10Ariel
00:42:11You've become an integral part of our company
00:42:15And I want to have you seated at our VIP table
00:42:18Oh my gosh
00:42:19Thank you
00:42:19I'm honored
00:42:20Me
00:42:21My family

00:42:22My girlfriend Valentina
00:42:24And you
00:42:25Good job, Ariel
00:42:27Let's see how it looks
00:42:34Come out
00:42:35It fits perfectly, darling
00:42:40Wow
00:42:43Stunning
00:42:44Next I'll have to get you a dress
00:42:50A dress?
00:42:52What's the occasion?
00:42:55Well, I'm hosting this charity ball
00:42:58And I would love for you to be my date
00:43:01I love a good ball
00:43:02But I must check my schedule, darling
00:43:06Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?
00:43:11My new AI tech
00:43:12It's going to revolutionize the world
00:43:15Ah, yes
00:43:16We got interrupted
00:43:19You were going to tell me something important
00:43:22What were you going to say?
00:43:25It's not really that necessary
00:43:27You don't trust me?
00:43:31I do
00:43:31This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO
00:43:35And I just want it to go well
00:43:38But I thought I was special
00:43:40You are
00:43:43I just
00:43:43Well, you know
00:43:45If you don't trust me
00:43:47Wait
00:43:47So you do trust me?
00:43:55Mm-hmm
00:43:56So Blaine's going to tell me the
00:44:07Super special secret
00:44:10Mm-hmm
00:44:11Where is it?
00:44:14It's here
00:44:15In the mansion
00:44:17It's here
00:44:21Mm-hmm
00:44:26Mm-hmm
00:44:28We're in the mansion
00:44:37It's
00:44:39Yeah
00:44:43Yeah
00:44:45Now?
00:44:51Okay
00:44:52I'll be there
00:44:53Where are you going, darling?
00:45:02They need me to be on this call with China
00:45:04So
00:45:04I have to leave
00:45:06You have to leave right now, darling?
00:45:09Yeah
00:45:09Now
00:45:11I'm sorry
00:45:12Pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:45:16Yeah
00:45:17Martina was right about you
00:45:21I should start sharing more with you
00:45:24I swear
00:45:27It was
00:45:27Man
00:45:29No
00:45:29No
00:45:30No
00:45:31No
00:45:31No
00:45:33No
00:45:33No
00:45:45I
00:45:50Did you get it?
00:45:57The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:46:00Excellent, darling.
00:46:01Excellent.
00:46:20Max, what are you doing here?
00:46:28What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:46:29Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?
00:46:33You wouldn't understand.
00:46:35Oh, I understand.
00:46:36You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:46:41No, I'm not.
00:46:42You know, I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.
00:46:49It's only the right thing to do.
00:46:52Please don't.
00:46:54You don't know what I'm doing.
00:46:54Oh, you'll lose your job?
00:46:57Your reputation?
00:46:59Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:47:03What do you want, Max?
00:47:04I just want a little, an arrangement.
00:47:08I'd rather not.
00:47:09Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:47:15Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:47:16Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.
00:47:20I want to destroy you.
00:47:24You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.
00:47:29If by tomorrow I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town,
00:47:34I'll do it for you.
00:47:37You seem extra happy today.
00:47:56I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole nother level last night.
00:48:00Wow, that's awesome, man.
00:48:02I'm so happy for you.
00:48:04Hi, Mr. Ellington.
00:48:05Hi, Kurt.
00:48:05Hi, Anna.
00:48:07Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:48:11Kurt?
00:48:13Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:48:18Hi, Ariel.
00:48:20You all right?
00:48:21Yeah, I'm all right.
00:48:23Um, I actually had an idea about the Cherry Bowl.
00:48:28Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:48:33I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:48:37Where?
00:48:37I was thinking your house.
00:48:44Uh, I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:48:50Well, if we hosted ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:48:55And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:48:59Yeah, that makes sense.
00:49:01Okay.
00:49:02Let's do it.
00:49:03Great.
00:49:04I'll send out the invitations.
00:49:05She really knows his company, inside and out.
00:49:12What do you know about Ariel?
00:49:16What do you want to know?
00:49:17Here you go, Mom.
00:49:33I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:49:35I'm just so sleepy.
00:49:37That's okay.
00:49:38We can watch it next weekend.
00:49:41Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:49:45Mom, you are my friend.
00:49:46People your age, who you can be out dancing with, flirting with boys.
00:49:54I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:49:57What?
00:49:58What's he like?
00:49:59It's complicated.
00:50:02Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:50:05Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:50:10Oh.
00:50:13Oh.
00:50:15Sweetie.
00:50:16I'm fine.
00:50:16I'm fine.
00:50:18I just need some rest.
00:50:22Hmm.
00:50:25Uh-oh.
00:50:25And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.
00:50:44I'm dreading giving this speech.
00:50:46I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:50:49I always thought that was a little pervy, but I promise you're going to be amazing.
00:50:58Thank you so much for helping with this.
00:51:01This charity ball idea was genius.
00:51:03I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:51:07I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:51:12Well, I should get going.
00:51:14Wait.
00:51:15Um.
00:51:16I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:51:19Make sure the dress fits.
00:51:20I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:51:24All right.
00:51:25Good night.
00:51:25Good night.
00:51:38Hello, darling.
00:51:39I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:51:43It's perfect.
00:51:44I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:51:47I can't wait either, darling.
00:51:50Good night.
00:51:50Good night.
00:51:50Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:52:15Thanks, Kurt.
00:52:16You're looking sharp.
00:52:17Oh, yeah.
00:52:18Well, got a dress to impress.
00:52:20No.
00:52:21Are you trying to impress anyone?
00:52:24Nah.
00:52:26Listen, random.
00:52:28Does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:52:31I don't think so.
00:52:34Do you like her?
00:52:36No.
00:52:37No, no, no, no.
00:52:38No, I'm just trying to make friendly conversation.
00:52:43Yeah.
00:52:45We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:52:49Oh.
00:52:50You're still here.
00:52:52Yeah.
00:52:53Listen.
00:52:55If someone were to ask Hannah to dance, what do you think the chances are that she would
00:53:02say yes?
00:53:03Probably good.
00:53:05Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:53:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:53:11No, I'm just a fan of wild hypothetical scenarios.
00:53:17Unless that one just sprung to mind.
00:53:19Mm-hmm.
00:53:19Okay.
00:53:22Yep.
00:53:24Um, well, I'm, I'm going to go help Blaine practice his speech.
00:53:32So I'm going to do that right now.
00:53:36I will see you later.
00:53:37All right.
00:53:38See ya.
00:53:38And you must be Ariel.
00:53:42Yes, hi.
00:53:47Hi.
00:53:49Hmm.
00:53:50You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:53:53He has?
00:53:54Oh, yes, yes.
00:53:55In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:54:00I suppose so.
00:54:02Wonderful.
00:54:04Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:54:10Wow.
00:54:11That's such an honor.
00:54:12I heard he was a great man.
00:54:14He was a great man.
00:54:17Martina.
00:54:19Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:54:22Yes, briefly.
00:54:24She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.
00:54:27Man, yes, she has.
00:54:28In fact, I can, uh, I can see her playing a bigger role at Ellington if she keeps it up.
00:54:35Why wait?
00:54:36She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:54:39Really?
00:54:40I think so.
00:54:41Don't you, Ariel?
00:54:43Uh, mm-hmm.
00:54:45Amazing.
00:54:47Well, I can't wait.
00:54:53Me either.
00:54:58I don't know.
00:55:10I can't wait.
00:55:13You can do it.
00:55:14Oh.
00:55:14I've got a conse atoll.
00:55:14You have a faculty member.
00:55:15I can take this.
00:55:15Okay.
00:55:16Didn't you see her?
00:55:17Whatever.
00:55:18I can do it.
00:55:19I can do it.
00:55:20I can do it.
00:55:21I can do it.
00:55:22I can do it.
00:55:23And I can do it.
00:55:23I can do it.
00:55:24I can do it.
00:55:25And whenever I, I could do it.
00:55:25Ariel
00:55:34Blaine
00:55:36There you are
00:55:36I've been looking everywhere for you
00:55:38Here I am
00:55:39Have you seen Valentina?
00:55:42No, I don't think so
00:55:43About your height, flowy hair, no glasses
00:55:47Um, no
00:55:48No, I don't think so
00:55:50In fact
00:55:51What?
00:55:54Nothing
00:55:54It's ridiculous
00:55:55I better say hi to those guests
00:55:58But if you could find her for me
00:56:00That would be great
00:56:01I'll get right on that
00:56:03Thank you
00:56:04Bye
00:56:04Just go out there and hype Blaine up
00:56:15So he can deliver his speech
00:56:17Then we're back to finding the drive
00:56:19Okay
00:56:21You can do this
00:56:23Oh, hi Ariel
00:56:26Uh, you must be mistaken, love
00:56:31I don't know this Ariel you speak of
00:56:34Yeah, okay
00:56:36Ariel
00:56:37No, seriously
00:56:40My name is Valentina Kingsley
00:56:42And I'm a very wealthy socialite
00:56:44Oh, I get it
00:56:46It's like one of those improv games or something
00:56:49No, no, no, no game
00:56:51My name is
00:56:52Who else should I be
00:56:53Just be yourself
00:56:56I'm the queen of England
00:56:59You can really tell it's me?
00:57:03Yeah
00:57:03Yeah, but
00:57:04I mean
00:57:05I can be very observant
00:57:07Really?
00:57:08Mm-hmm
00:57:09Okay, well, Hannah
00:57:10It's very important that this stays between us
00:57:13Okay
00:57:14Can I ask why?
00:57:16Well, it's really complicated
00:57:18Um
00:57:19But you have to promise me
00:57:21You won't tell anybody about this
00:57:22Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:57:26Yeah, sure
00:57:27Aw
00:57:28Well, good luck with whatever this is
00:57:32Yeah, thanks
00:57:36I'm gonna need it
00:57:57Ah, there you are, darling
00:58:00Ah, Valentina
00:58:01I'm so glad to see you
00:58:03Look at this place
00:58:05I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this
00:58:07Since the king of Spain's birthday
00:58:08I'm glad it lives up to your approval
00:58:10Of course
00:58:11You're doing a speech, I see
00:58:13Well, I'm not much of a speech giver
00:58:16They're gonna eat you up, darling
00:58:18You make me feel so confident
00:58:21I need to be looking at you
00:58:24When I give my speech
00:58:25Of course
00:58:32Okay, perfect
00:58:34Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside
00:58:37I must go speak with her
00:58:39Ah, Valentina
00:58:39I was thinking
00:58:41Maybe tonight
00:58:43I could show you
00:58:44The AI code
00:58:45Yes
00:58:48I would love to see what you've been working on
00:58:51Great
00:58:52Where would this be taking place?
00:58:54In the study, or?
00:58:56Upstairs
00:58:57Hidden
00:58:58In a very high-tech safe
00:59:00Ah
00:59:01I see
00:59:02You actually inspired my security team
00:59:06To create a new hiding space for it
00:59:08What the heck did I say?
00:59:12I'll give you a hint
00:59:13If you were to look for it
00:59:15You'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world
00:59:17I'll let you get back to socializing
00:59:21Good luck, darling
00:59:25Thank you
00:59:26Excuse me
00:59:49What are you doing in here?
00:59:56Excuse me
00:59:57What are you doing in here?
00:59:59Um
01:00:00And who are you?
01:00:02Oh
01:00:03Um
01:00:04Uh
01:00:04Um
01:00:06I
01:00:06I
01:00:06Um
01:00:07You look lost
01:00:09I am
01:00:11Darling
01:00:12I am lost
01:00:13I've been to a lot of mansions
01:00:16But this one is big
01:00:18Grandfather
01:00:20Yes
01:00:20This is Valentina Kingsley
01:00:22Blaine's new girlfriend
01:00:23Oh yes
01:00:26Yes
01:00:27From the front page of the
01:00:28The Times
01:00:29Yes
01:00:29I've heard a lot about you
01:00:30Hope it was all good things
01:00:33Well
01:00:34I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now
01:00:37Since his father passed
01:00:39And I trust that Blaine is treating you
01:00:43Respectfully
01:00:45Like a lady
01:00:46He is
01:00:48Well
01:00:48It was a good thing that we were up here to find you
01:00:51If it had been during Blaine's speech
01:00:53No one would know you're here
01:00:55Right
01:00:57Good thing
01:00:59Shall we return to the party?
01:01:02Yes we shall
01:01:03Very nice meeting you Miss Kingsley
01:01:06You too sir
01:01:23You seem quiet
01:01:30Is everything alright?
01:01:32Everything's fine darling
01:01:33Hey Valentina
01:01:35I have a girl question
01:01:37For you
01:01:38Oh my god
01:01:43For the love of god
01:01:44You clearly have a crush on Hannah
01:01:46Just ask her to dance
01:01:47You just met me
01:01:48You can already tell
01:01:49Yes
01:01:50You read me like a book
01:01:53I see what Blaine sees in you
01:01:55You're really inquisitive
01:01:57In fact
01:01:58I'll go butter her up for you
01:02:00Would you?
01:02:01That would be great
01:02:02Dude
01:02:04Hannah
01:02:09I need a favor
01:02:10Anything
01:02:10When Blaine is giving his speech
01:02:12I'm gonna step away
01:02:14If anyone asks
01:02:15I'm not feeling well
01:02:16And Ariel
01:02:17Is going to help Valentina
01:02:20Get some medicine
01:02:21Got it
01:02:22Oh
01:02:24And Kurt's gonna ask you to dance
01:02:26Really?
01:02:28Sorry
01:02:28When?
01:02:31Tonight
01:02:31Oh right
01:02:32It's a ball
01:02:33It's time brother
01:02:48You ready
01:02:48You ready?
01:02:49As ready as I'll ever be
01:02:50Thank you
01:02:55For coming tonight
01:02:57It means a lot
01:02:58Of course
01:03:00You're gonna be amazing
01:03:02Ladies and gentlemen
01:03:09I want to thank you all so much
01:03:11For coming out here tonight
01:03:12It is my great honor
01:03:15And privilege
01:03:15To introduce my good friend
01:03:17Your CEO
01:03:18Of Ellington Incorporated
01:03:20Mr. Blaine Ellington
01:03:22Good evening everyone
01:03:29I want to
01:03:31Before we get started
01:03:33Thank two people
01:03:34Who without their help
01:03:36None of this would have happened tonight
01:03:37My assistant Ariel
01:03:39And my girlfriend
01:03:40Valentina
01:03:42Not sure where they are right now
01:03:47But I want to thank them
01:03:49For having my back
01:03:51Hi Anna
01:03:56Oh hi
01:03:58You haven't seen Valentina
01:04:01Around have you?
01:04:02I wanted to try to find her
01:04:03So she can watch
01:04:04Blaine's speech
01:04:05Valentina is sick
01:04:07And Ariel was helping her
01:04:10Get medicine
01:04:10Oh okay

01:07:40I think Ariel.
01:07:57What could the numbers be?
01:07:59It couldn't be our first date, could it?
01:08:10I've got the code.
01:08:31Excellent, darling.
01:08:33I'll give it to you after the ball.
01:08:35Or you could give it to me now.
01:08:39Flora?
01:08:44What are you doing here?
01:08:46I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be.
01:08:49Just like you, apparently.
01:08:53The code, darling.
01:08:54The future in the palm of my hand.
01:09:04I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:09:08Lane's a good man.
01:09:11You're awful.
01:09:12He's rich, darling.
01:09:13He'll get over it.
01:09:15My mom?
01:09:16And her surgery?
01:09:18I've been accused of many things.
01:09:21But I always keep my word.
01:09:24Now, go and celebrate.
01:09:26You deserve it, darling.
01:09:27You deserve it, darling.
01:09:54Valentina.
01:09:55Hi, darling.
01:09:55There you are.
01:09:58How are you feeling?
01:09:59Stronger than the reins in the Amazon, darling.
01:10:02Excellent.
01:10:03Care to dance?
01:10:05Certainly.
01:10:08Well, well, well, well.
01:10:13Look at the happy couple.
01:10:20How did you get in?
01:10:22Oh, I have my ways.
01:10:23We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:10:27Anyway.
01:10:30I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:10:35You need to leave.
01:10:36Actually, I don't think I do.
01:10:38Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:10:42She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:10:43No, no, no, no.
01:10:45There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:10:49What?
01:10:50If only your little assistant had assisted you in researching her.
01:10:55You know, it's funny.
01:10:56I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:11:00Lane, don't listen to him.
01:11:02What is he talking about?
01:11:03Yes, she may have fooled everyone in here.
01:11:09But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:11:13Ariel?
01:11:25Ariel?
01:11:25this whole time you've been valentina that's right this whole time you pretended to care
01:11:43about me but you're just a liar and worse she's poor why yes ariel but why

01:14:07That was a disaster
01:14:11I just don't understand. Why would she go through all that?
01:14:16I don't know, but
01:14:19These scandals are exhausting. Yeah, I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon
01:14:28Well
01:14:31I got a lot to think about
01:14:34What do you mean?
01:14:36I mean we may have to take the company in a complete different direction if we're gonna gain back the public's trust
01:14:43You can't be serious
01:14:49Something better happen sooner I guess much worse
01:14:54Did she want anything from you I don't know Martina nothing valuable Martina I said I don't

01:15:50Thanks mom
01:15:50Well
01:15:51I have something to tell you
01:15:54Dr. Westfall calls
01:15:56Are you okay? What's going on?
01:15:59He
01:15:59said that anonymous donor sent in the funds for me to have my operation
01:16:05What?
01:16:06I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday
01:16:08Oh my god
01:16:10Oh
01:16:13Mom I'm so happy
01:16:16I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake
01:16:18I agree
01:16:19I agree
01:16:48It's time to celebrate.
01:16:58To the future, darling.
01:17:06Drink.
01:17:07You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:17:13There it is.
01:17:15Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:17:18People walk in and out of my office,
01:17:21having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:17:25Of course, I won't be able to enjoy too much longer
01:17:28since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:17:31I guess I just feel bad.
01:17:34To get what you want in life,
01:17:35sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:17:38Break the rules a little.
01:17:42I guess.
01:17:43Ask any CEO and they'll agree,
01:17:46including your little boy toy.
01:17:50Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:17:52Well, anyway, speaking of money,
01:17:55let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:17:59What?
01:18:00All I need is your wiring info and I can send it on over.
01:18:03I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed.
01:18:08I'm sorry, you haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:18:12No, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:18:18Darlene.
01:18:18All right.
01:18:44One more drink and we'll start packing up my things.
01:18:49Deal.
01:18:50One more.
01:18:55Anna.
01:18:56Hi, Mr. Ellington.
01:18:57May I come in?
01:18:58Sure.
01:18:59Come on in.
01:19:00Hi, cutie.
01:19:04Care for a drink?
01:19:06Oh, no.
01:19:06I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:19:09Wait, what was that?
01:19:10Mr. Ellington,
01:19:10I have a delivery for you.
01:19:13From who?
01:19:14Ariel.
01:19:18From who?
01:19:19Ariel.
01:19:21I don't want it.
01:19:22Take it back.
01:19:23She said you might say that,
01:19:25but she said that it was very, very important.
01:19:28How important?
01:19:30I don't know,
01:19:31but she did say that it was something so important
01:19:34that she only trusted me to deliver it,
01:19:36so it must be a big deal.
01:19:38Okay.
01:19:40Oh, my God.
01:19:54Oh, my God.
01:19:55Ew, what's happening?
01:19:57What's going on?
01:19:58What does this mean?
01:19:59Oh, Flora?
01:20:18Yes, darling?
01:20:19Your appointment had to leave early.
01:20:21I asked if they were under schedule,
01:20:22but they said no.
01:20:24I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:20:26What was the name?
01:20:31Valentina Kingsley?
01:20:51You're rich.
01:20:52You'll get over it, darling.
01:21:09Oh, what's going on?
01:21:10What does this mean?
01:21:11Oh, my God.
01:21:12Thank you for everything.
01:21:18Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh,
01:21:25that one, the thing?
01:21:27Yes, yes.
01:21:28Let's, uh, let's do that.
01:21:34Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:21:36Blaine, there's no easy way for me to say this,
01:21:45but it's time.
01:21:56But it's time
01:21:57You are going to regret this.
01:22:10I promise you that.
01:22:16Jeez.
01:22:17What did you do?
01:22:18I don't know, girl,
01:22:20but the way she wears that dress,
01:22:22she can step on me any day.
01:22:24Oh, gee, I knew you could do it.
01:22:28I knew it.
01:22:30You know,
01:22:31your dad would be so proud of you.
01:22:44Dr. Westfall.
01:22:46Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:22:47Is surgery over?
01:22:48How did it go?
01:22:48Yes, we just finished.
01:22:50Um, there were complications.
01:22:52Complications?
01:22:52Yes, but we were able to work through them,
01:22:55and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:22:58Really?
01:22:59Yeah, really, yes.
01:23:00In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:23:03She's going to need to rest for a few hours,
01:23:05but when she wakes up,
01:23:06she's going to feel better than she has in a long time.
01:23:09I can't thank you enough.
01:23:10I'm happy to help.
01:23:11I'm happy to help her.
01:23:27I'm happy to help her.
01:23:30Come in, come in!
01:23:52Welcome!
01:23:54Ariel!
01:23:59Mom, why didn't you hang out of bed?
01:24:02The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:24:05I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window
01:24:08and I got kind of excited.
01:24:12Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:24:14No, thank you, but thank you.
01:24:16Oh, thank you. Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:24:19Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:24:23Oh, of course.
01:24:27I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:24:37I'm so, so sorry.
01:24:39I, uh...
01:24:41I understand why you did it.
01:24:44And you gave me the drive back,
01:24:46so there's no need to apologize.
01:24:48Thank you for everything.
01:24:51I...
01:24:52I don't even know where to start.
01:24:57I'm not looking for an apology.
01:25:00You're not?
01:25:01No.
01:25:02See, I'm still CEO and I need an assistant.
01:25:07And you're kind of the best in town.
01:25:12I accept.
01:25:14And, uh...
01:25:16You're still looking for a girlfriend?
01:25:18Well...
01:25:19If you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:25:25I love you, Valentina.
01:25:28I...
01:25:29I mean, Ariel.
01:25:30That's gonna take some getting used to.
01:25:45There aren't any starry rooftop views here.
01:25:49But...
01:25:50This is my special place.
01:25:53It's even better.
01:25:55It's even better.
