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

00:51:18Thank you. Bye.
00:51:28Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.
00:51:32Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:51:34Okay.
00:51:36You can do this.
00:51:39Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:51:42Um, you must be mistaken, love. I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:51:48Yeah, okay. Ariel.
00:51:51No, seriously. My name is Valentina Kingsley, and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:51:57Oh, I get it. It's like one of those improv games or something.
00:52:01No, no, no. No game. My name is...
00:52:03Who else should I be?
00:52:06Just be yourself.
00:52:08I'm the Queen of England.
00:52:12You can really tell it's me?
00:52:13Well, yeah, but, I mean, I can be very observant.
00:52:17Really?
00:52:18Mm-hmm.
00:52:18Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:52:23Okay. Can I ask why?
00:52:25Well, it's really complicated.
00:52:28Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:52:32Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:52:34Yeah, sure.
00:52:35Aw.
00:52:36Well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:52:42Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna need it.
00:52:44Ah, there you are, darling.
00:53:07Ah, Valentina. I'm so glad to see you.
00:53:09Look at this place.
00:53:11I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:53:14I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:53:16Of course.
00:53:17You're doing a speech, I see.
00:53:19Well, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:53:21They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:53:24You make me feel so confident.
00:53:27I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:53:36Of course.
00:53:38Okay, perfect.
00:53:39Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside. I must go speak with her.
00:53:43Ah, Valentina.
00:53:44I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:53:49Yes, I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:53:54Great.
00:53:55Where would this be taking place? In the study, or...?
00:53:59Upstairs. Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:54:03Ah, I see.
00:54:05You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:54:11What the heck did I say?
00:54:13I'll give you a hint.
00:54:14If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:54:20I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:54:24Good luck, darling.
00:54:25Excuse me.
00:54:47What are you doing in here?
00:54:48Excuse me.
00:54:55What are you doing in here?
00:54:58Um...
00:54:58And who are you?
00:55:00Oh, um, uh...
00:55:02Um, I...
00:55:04I, um...
00:55:05You look lost.
00:55:08I am, darling.
00:55:10I am lost.
00:55:11I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:55:16Grandfather?
00:55:16Yes?
00:55:17Mrs. Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:55:21Oh, yes, yes.
00:55:22From the, uh, front page of the, the Times.
00:55:24Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:55:26Hope it was all good things.
00:55:28Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.
00:55:34And I trust that Blaine is, uh, treating you respectfully, like a lady.
00:55:41She is.
00:55:42Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.
00:55:44If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.
00:55:49Right.
00:55:51Good thing.
00:55:52Shall we return to the party?
00:55:55Yes, we shall.
00:55:56Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
00:55:59You too, sir.
00:56:00Mm-hmm.
00:56:04You seem quiet.
00:56:22Is everything okay?
00:56:23Everything's fine, darling.
00:56:25Hey, Valentina.
00:56:26I have a girl question for you.
00:56:29Oh, my God, for the love of God.
00:56:34You clearly have a crush on Hannah.
00:56:36Just ask her to dance.
00:56:37You just met me, you can already tell.
00:56:39Yes.
00:56:41You read me like a book.
00:56:43And I see what Blaine sees in you.
00:56:44You're really inquisitive.
00:56:46In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
00:56:49Would you?
00:56:50That would be great.
00:56:52Dude.
00:56:52Dude.
00:56:56Hannah, I need a favor.
00:56:57Anything.
00:56:59When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
00:57:01If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
00:57:04And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.
00:57:08Got it.
00:57:10Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
00:57:12Really?
00:57:14Sorry.
00:57:15When?
00:57:16Tonight.
00:57:17Oh, right, it's a ball.

00:57:52Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.
00:57:55It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend, your CEO of Ellington Incorporated,
00:58:03Mr. Blaine Ellington.
00:58:05Good evening, everyone.
00:58:11I want to, uh, before we get started, thank two people who, without their help, none of
00:58:17this would have happened tonight.
00:58:18My assistant Ariel and my girlfriend, Valentina.
00:58:22Uh, not sure where they are right now, but I want to thank them for having my back.
00:58:35Hi, Anna.
00:58:37Oh, hi.
00:58:38You haven't, uh, seen Valentina around, have you?
00:58:41I wanted to try to find her so she can watch Blaine's Beach.
00:58:44Valentina is sick, and Ariel was helping her get medicine.
00:58:49Oh, okay.
00:58:52Um, you look, you look really pretty, by the way.
00:58:56Thanks.
00:58:57You look really pretty, too.
00:59:00All right, time to find this code.
00:59:21All right, time to find this code.
00:59:30Blaine mentioned something I said.
00:59:41What the heck did I say?

01:01:07thing in the world.

01:09:14Ariel? Baby? Oh, you look like you had a rough night. It was a disaster, really? I feel awful.
01:09:33Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, baby. Thanks, ma'am. Well, I have something to tell you.
01:09:41Dr. Westfall called. Are you okay? What's going on? He said that an anonymous donor sent in the funds for me to have my operation. What? I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday. Oh, my God. Oh. Mom, I'm so happy. I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake, huh? I agree.
01:10:11It's time to celebrate.
01:10:38To the future, darling.
01:10:48Drink. You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:10:55There it is. Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:10:59People walk in and out of my office, having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:11:05Of course, I won't be able to enjoy it too much longer, since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:11:11I guess I just feel bad.
01:11:14To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:11:17Break the rules a little.
01:11:19Ask any CEO, and they'll agree, including your little boy toy.
01:11:28Lane would never do anything like that.
01:11:30Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:11:36What?
01:11:37All I need is your wiring info, and I can send it on over.
01:11:40I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed?
01:11:45I'm sorry, you haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:11:48No, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:11:53Not Aline.
01:11:54I'm sorry.
01:11:54I'm sorry.
01:11:54I'm sorry.
01:11:54I'm sorry.
01:11:56You haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:12:00No, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:12:04Not Aline.
01:12:10All right.
01:12:19One more drink, and we'll start packing up my things.
01:12:23Deal.
01:12:24One more.
01:12:29Anna.
01:12:30Hi, Mr. Wellington.
01:12:31May I come in?
01:12:31Sure.
01:12:32Come on in.
01:12:33Hi, cutie.
01:12:37Care for a drink?
01:12:38Oh, no.
01:12:38I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:12:41Wait, what was that?
01:12:42Mr. Wellington, I have a delivery for you.
01:12:45From who?
01:12:46Ariel.
01:12:51From who?
01:12:52Ariel.
01:12:53I don't want it.
01:12:54Take it back.
01:12:55She said you might say that, but she said that it was very, very important.
01:13:00How important?
01:13:00I don't know, but she did say that it was something so important that she only trusted
01:13:06me to deliver it, so it must be a big deal.
01:13:08Oh, my God.
01:13:23Oh, my God.
01:13:25Ew, what's happening?
01:13:26What's going on?
01:13:27What does it mean?
01:13:28What does it mean?
01:13:32Oh, my God.
01:13:38Oh, Flora?
01:13:46Yes, darling?
01:13:47Your appointment had to leave early.
01:13:49I asked if they wanted her scheduled, but they said no.
01:13:52I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:13:54What was the name?
01:13:58Valentina Kingsley?
01:13:59You're rich.
01:14:18You'll get over it.
01:14:19Darling.
01:14:29What's going on?
01:14:36What does this mean?
01:14:41Thank you for everything.
01:14:47Hannah, did you want to help me with that?
01:14:49That thing?
01:14:49The thing?
01:14:50Yes.
01:14:51I would love to.
01:14:51Yes.
01:14:51Let's do that.
01:14:52Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:15:04Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this.
01:15:09But it's time.
01:15:18But it's time.
01:15:22Celebrate.
01:15:30You are going to regret this.
01:15:31I promise you that.
01:15:37Jeez.
01:15:37What did you do?
01:15:39I don't know, girl.
01:15:40But the way she wears that dress, she can step on me any day.
01:15:45See?
01:15:46I knew you could do it.
01:15:47I know.
01:15:47And you know, your dad would be so proud of you.
01:16:04Dr. Westfall.
01:16:05Hi, Ariel.
01:16:06Hey, surgery over.
01:16:07How did it go?
01:16:07Yes, we just finished.
01:16:09There were complications.
01:16:10Complications?
01:16:11Yes, but we were able to work through them, and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:16:16Really?
01:16:17Yeah, really, yes.
01:16:18In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:16:20She's going to need to rest for a few hours, but when she wakes up, she's going to feel
01:16:24better than she has in a long time.
01:16:26I can't thank you enough.
01:16:27I'm happy to help.
01:16:28I'm happy to help.
01:16:46I'm happy to help.
01:17:00I can't thank you.
01:17:02I can't thank you.
01:17:04How are you?
01:17:04I can't thank you.
01:17:04Come in, come in. Welcome.
01:17:12Ariel? Mom, when did you leave out of bed? The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:17:18I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window and I got kind of excited.
01:17:24Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:17:26No, thank you, but thank you.
01:17:28Oh, thank you. Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:17:31Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:17:35Oh, of course. I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:17:48I'm so, so sorry.
01:17:50I understand why you did it.
01:17:54And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:17:59Thank you for everything. I don't even know where to start.
01:18:06I'm not looking for an apology.
01:18:09You're not?
01:18:10No.
01:18:12See, I'm still CEO and I need an assistant.
01:18:16And you're kind of the best in town.
01:18:19I accept.
01:18:22And, uh, I'm still looking for a girlfriend.
01:18:29Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:18:33I love you, Valentina. I mean, Ariel.
01:18:49And that's gonna take some getting used to.
01:18:52There aren't any starry rooftop views here.
01:18:55But this is my special place.
01:18:59It's either better.
01:19:01Like, what?
01:19:02I am still checking on the other side.
01:19:04I'm sorry.
01:19:06I hate you.
01:19:07Jeremy.
01:19:08Yeah.
01:19:11Yeah.
01:19:12Yeah.
01:19:13Yeah.
01:19:14I can't see you either.
01:19:16Yeah.
01:19:17I can't see you.
01:19:18Bye-bye.
01:19:20Yeah.
01:19:21I don't know.
01:19:22I'm sorry.
01:19:23I'm sorry.
01:19:24I'm sorry.
01:19:25Aw.
01:19:26I can't see you.
