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

00:24:40Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize.
00:24:44We need to get our hands on that code fast.
00:24:47Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery.
00:24:49But until then, we're in this together.
00:24:52Yes?
00:24:54Yeah.
00:24:55Excellent.
00:24:57Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:59Make him even more vulnerable and get him to tell me where the code is.
00:25:04And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:25:06Um, be nice?
00:25:13Your ignorance is both cute and annoying.
00:25:16No.
00:25:18A man like Blaine Ellington is going to become vulnerable from two things.
00:25:24Drinking with him and going to bed with him.
00:25:28Right.
00:25:31I can, I can do that.
00:25:33I hope so.
00:25:34Because he's coming this way.
00:25:38Get the code soon, honey.
00:25:41For your mother.
00:25:43Okay.
00:25:43Oh!
00:25:47And darling, have fun.
00:25:51Okay.
00:25:54Valentina.
00:25:55How are you?
00:25:58Wonderful, love.
00:26:00I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:26:02Is that so?
00:26:03Indeed.
00:26:05I was so distracted.
00:26:07It affected my croquet score.
00:26:09Oh, no.
00:26:10Distracted over little old me.
00:26:12Yes.
00:26:13I simply must know everything about you.
00:26:16Well, what would you like to know?
00:26:19Everything.
00:26:20Well, I don't know about everything.
00:26:23It might take some time for me to open up.
00:26:25Well, maybe after a few drinks.
00:26:29Only if you can keep up.
00:26:31See, I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking.
00:26:35Oh, no.
00:26:36Well, here goes nothing.
00:26:38Nothing.
00:26:46You know, my sister.
00:27:00Is implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is.
00:27:05Because I forget stuff.
00:27:07And...
00:27:07Are you forgetful?
00:27:11I mean, yeah.
00:27:13Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:27:17Really?
00:27:18Yeah.
00:27:20It cost me $10,000 just to get them re-keyed.
00:27:24Which is why I should probably tell someone in case I do forget.
00:27:31So, maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome and trustworthy?
00:27:36Well, if you'd like, go ahead.
00:27:39I'll tell you.
00:27:40But first...
00:27:43I'm gonna hit the men's room.
00:27:47This is it.
00:27:53All I need to do is ask him where the code is, and my mission is over.
00:27:57Nothing can stop me now.
00:27:59Ariel?
00:28:01Except my ex-boyfriend.
00:28:03I don't know what you're talking about, darling.
00:28:08I don't know this...
00:28:10Ariel.
00:28:11No, no, no, no, no.
00:28:13You are definitely Ariel.
00:28:16Well, what are you doing in a place like this?
00:28:19You're poor.
00:28:21Fine.
00:28:22Please just leave, Max.
00:28:24It's Maximilian now.
00:28:26Because I'm Max, and I make millions.
00:28:29Whatever.
00:28:29Uh, please.
00:28:30I'm begging you.
00:28:31Look at you.
00:28:33You look so much better.
00:28:35You look...
00:28:37Oh, what's that word?
00:28:39Rich?
00:28:39Oh, please.
00:28:40I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately, but I've become very rich.
00:28:46Yes.
00:28:46You've sent me 50 messages about it.
00:28:48I had to block your number.
00:28:50Oh.
00:28:50Yeah, that's right.
00:28:52Please, I'll do whatever you want, okay?
00:28:54I just...
00:28:54How about a kiss for old time's sake?
00:28:59You know, Ariel, sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together.
00:29:04This isn't happening.
00:29:05Do you not remember when we'd go and get Taco Tuesday at that Mexican restaurant and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:29:14I'm very...
00:29:15Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:29:18Yes, he does.
00:29:19A situationship of best.
00:29:21Let go, Max.
00:29:23Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:29:26Get off!
00:29:30Blaine Ellington?
00:29:32Max Fletcher.
00:29:33Maximilian?
00:29:35What are you doing with that peasant?
00:29:37That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
00:29:39Blaine Ellington.
00:29:41Getting my sloppy sack kiss.
00:29:56This isn't over.
00:30:01Come on, Regina.
00:30:05Just stay away from my man, skink.
00:30:09He's actually trying to.
00:30:13Are you okay?
00:30:15Yeah, I think so.
00:30:17We gotta get out of here.
00:30:19No, this isn't good.
00:30:19Care to explain this?
00:30:31I assume the article does a good job.
00:30:33Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?
00:30:39What are you, a child?
00:30:40I'm not a child.
00:30:41I'm not a child, but he started it.
00:30:43Well, I don't care who started it.
00:30:46Ellington is a company based in family values.
00:30:50I was out with my girlfriend trying to uphold those family values.
00:30:54No, no, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't play the girlfriend card, okay?
00:30:57The onus is you on this, pal.
00:31:01You know, maybe, maybe, maybe your sister was right.
00:31:04Maybe you're too much of a risk, even though you say you've settled down.
00:31:07Either way, I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.
00:31:14What would your father think?
00:31:33Unleazy lies the head that wears a crown.
00:31:36What is that?
00:31:37Some family motto I'm not aware of?
00:31:39It's Shakespeare, you idiot.
00:31:41What are you doing here?
00:31:43You don't want any of this.
00:31:45You don't know what I want.
00:31:47Uh, booze and bimbos?
00:31:50Or does page one of the paper say something different?
00:31:53She's not a bimbo.
00:31:56Then don't treat her like one.
00:31:59Treat her like dad treated mom.
00:32:05How do you mean?
00:32:07Bring her completely into your life.
00:32:10Let her know everything about you.
00:32:12I'm trying to.
00:32:14Just last night, we were sharing everything with each other.
00:32:16How can you share more?
00:32:19Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:32:21I will.
00:32:23I'm going to get close to this woman.
00:32:26You'll see.
00:32:27Hmm.
00:32:28And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one stem.
00:32:33Shakespeare.
00:32:35Yeah?
00:32:36Ow.
00:32:37Martina, how are you?
00:32:50How am I?
00:32:52Yeah.
00:32:53How are you?
00:32:54I am annoyed.
00:32:55Time is running out, understand?
00:32:57Mm-hmm.
00:32:57We chose you because we thought you could get the job done.
00:33:00But now I'm not so sure.
00:33:04Wait.
00:33:05Oh, my God.
00:33:06Do you have feelings for him?
00:33:08What?
00:33:09No.
00:33:10I hope not.
00:33:11Because you have four days to get that code.
00:33:14Or you can say bye to Mommy.
00:33:15Other than that.
00:33:18I am fine.
00:33:20Thanks for asking.
00:33:32Happy hump day, bestie.
00:33:34It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:33:36Oh, right.
00:33:37Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:33:39Better.
00:33:41And worse.
00:33:43That sounds super complicated.
00:33:45You have no idea.
00:33:46Hey, are you?
00:33:48Can you come in here?
00:33:49I'll be right there.
00:33:50Good thing you've got work to distract you.
00:33:53Good thing.
00:34:00You have the file for the new China branch?
00:34:03Yeah.
00:34:11All right.
00:34:15You know what?
00:34:17Let's forget about the file.
00:34:28Let's just close our eyes for, um, ten minutes.
00:34:33Let's...
00:34:34That's an order.
00:34:43Okay.
00:34:44Okay.
00:34:51This is nice.
00:34:53Yeah.
00:34:55This should be like an everyday thing.
00:34:58Good morning. Another beautiful day in Ellington. Let's get it. Oh, Hannah.
00:35:13Well, I guess that's over.
00:35:19Well, everything should be there.
00:35:23I can't even concentrate on work right now.
00:35:26Oh, why?
00:35:27Well, I don't know if you heard, but...
00:35:32Oh, my. That's quite a scene.
00:35:36Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:35:39I can imagine.
00:35:41Yeah, I just... I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.
00:35:48You should just talk to her and be honest.
00:35:51Yeah. I'm gonna call her.
00:35:54What?
00:35:54Yeah, can you be in the room when I do it?
00:35:59Uh, you want me in the room?
00:36:02Yeah. Maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.
00:36:07Tell me if she sounds upset.
00:36:08Uh, I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:36:13Oh, girl, she makes me so nervous.
00:36:15I'm sure you make her nervous, too.
00:36:19Shit, shit, shit.
00:36:20Uh-oh.
00:36:22Uh-oh.
00:36:24Think, Ariel, think.
00:36:26Uh, I'm gonna be sick.
00:36:28Bathroom!
00:36:28Hello, darling.
00:36:37Hey, Valentina.
00:36:40How are you?
00:36:41Thriving, my dear.
00:36:43How are you feeling?
00:36:45A little banged up, but I've been worse.
00:36:48You should have been with me in my partying days in Ibiza.
00:36:51I was an absolute heathen.
00:36:59Well, I'm glad to hear you're feeling all right.
00:37:02Uh, I was worried.
00:37:06No need, darling.
00:37:08I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:37:11Uh, I wanted to know if, uh, I get to see you again.
00:37:16You will.
00:37:17Very soon.
00:37:24Uh, sorry.
00:37:27Can I help you?
00:37:29I couldn't hear you.
00:37:30It kind of sounded like...
00:37:31Uh, sorry, Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.
00:37:37Must be going.
00:37:38Okay, uh, sure.
00:37:40See you.
00:37:41Ta-ta!
00:37:45Community theater.
00:37:50Hmm.
00:37:51Character from rehearsing.
00:37:55We're a mystery.
00:37:58I'll, uh, send you the dates.
00:38:00I'm not in the theater.
00:38:04That's fair.
00:38:04Mom, I'm home.
00:38:21Hi, honey.
00:38:22How was your day?
00:38:25It was...
00:38:27not boring.
00:38:29How was yours?
00:38:31It was wonderful.
00:38:32I did laundry, watched some soaps.
00:38:37Um, what are you cooking?
00:38:38I told you I was gonna cook tonight.
00:38:41Well, you weren't home yet, and I wanted to go ahead and get started so your co-worker
00:38:44could have some, too.
00:38:46My co-worker?
00:38:48Hello, darling.
00:38:49Flora, what are you doing here?
00:39:00I was going to call you about a few work questions, but I was, uh, in the neighborhood
00:39:05and thought I'd drop in.
00:39:09Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion.
00:39:11You didn't say anything about a job promotion.
00:39:14I guess it slipped my mind.
00:39:17Well, you two don't mind me.
00:39:19Go ahead and have your work talk.
00:39:21Dinner will be ready soon.
00:39:33What are you doing here?
00:39:35Checking in to see what progress was made last night.
00:39:37I, um, I got close to finding out where he hit the drive, but I...
00:39:43But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:39:46I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:39:49Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:39:53You're not getting attached.
00:39:55What?
00:39:55No.
00:39:56Of course not.
00:39:57Good.
00:39:58I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:40:03Dinner's ready.
00:40:04Deeply sorry, darling.
00:40:08Urgent business.
00:40:09Must be taking off.
00:40:10Oh, um, okay.
00:40:11Well, it was nice meeting you.
00:40:13You too, darling.
00:40:15Mwah.
00:40:19Tick tock.
00:40:20All right.
00:40:33I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal.
00:40:37Any ideas?
00:40:39Inner rehab.
00:40:41Too tacky.
00:40:43Go volunteer in a third world country?
00:40:45Mm, too obvious.
00:40:47Record an apology video for social media?
00:40:50I post it there.
00:40:51Too cringe.
00:40:56Adopt an orphan.
00:40:57Now that is something.
00:40:59Ariel, how good are you at raising kids?
00:41:01Um, let's think of other options.
00:41:06What about a charity ball?
00:41:08Yes.
00:41:09That's it.
00:41:10That's the one.
00:41:11I like that.
00:41:12I like it a lot.
00:41:14Isn't she good?
00:41:15Phenomenal.
00:41:15Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant.
00:41:20So, really, this kind of all comes back to...
00:41:22Got it.
00:41:23Wait.
00:41:24What charity would it be for?
00:41:26How about unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:41:30I'd love that.
00:41:31Let's get it rolling.
00:41:32I'll start right away.
00:41:34Ariel, you've become an integral part of our company, and I want to have you seated at our VIP table.
00:41:41Oh, my gosh.
00:41:42I'm honored.
00:41:43Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend, Valentina, and you.
00:41:49Good job, Ariel.
00:41:55Let's see how it looks.
00:41:57Come on.
00:42:01It fits perfectly, darling.
00:42:02Wow.
00:42:06Stunning.
00:42:11Next, I'll have to get you a dress.
00:42:13A dress?
00:42:15What's the occasion?
00:42:17Well, I'm hosting this charity ball, and I would love for you to be my date.
00:42:23I love a good ball.
00:42:26But I must check my schedule, darling.
00:42:29Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?
00:42:33My new AI tech is going to revolutionize the world.
00:42:38Ah, yes.
00:42:40We got interrupted.
00:42:41You were going to tell me something important.
00:42:45What were you going to say?
00:42:47It's not really that necessary.
00:42:51You don't trust me?
00:42:53I do.
00:42:54This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO, and I just want it to go well.
00:43:00But I thought I was special.
00:43:04You are?
00:43:05I just...
00:43:06Well, you know, if you don't trust me...
00:43:09Wait.
00:43:10So, you do trust me?
00:43:17Mm-hmm.
00:43:18So, Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?
00:43:32Mm-hmm.
00:43:35Where is it?
00:43:36It's here.
00:43:38In the mansion.
00:43:39It's...
00:43:40Yeah.
00:43:41Uh...
00:43:42He's here.
00:43:45It's...
00:43:46It's...
00:43:47It's...
00:43:50It's...
00:44:03Yeah.
00:44:07Uh, now?
00:44:13Okay.
00:44:15I'll be there.
00:44:18Where are you going, darling?
00:44:24They need me to be on this call with China, so I have to leave.
00:44:28You have to leave right now, darling?
00:44:31Yeah, now.
00:44:33I'm sorry.
00:44:35Pick this back up again soon.
00:44:37Huh?
00:44:38Yeah.
00:44:42Martina was right about you.
00:44:44I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:46I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:56Did you get it?
00:45:18The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:45:21Excellent, darling.
00:45:23Excellent.
00:45:26Max, what are you doing here?
00:45:50What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:45:52Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?
00:45:56You wouldn't understand.
00:45:57Oh, I understand.
00:45:58You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:46:03No, I'm not.
00:46:05I...
00:46:05You know, I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really
00:46:10are.
00:46:11It's only the right thing to do.
00:46:15Please don't.
00:46:16You don't know what I'm doing.
00:46:17Oh, you lose your job?
00:46:18Oh, you lose your job?
00:46:18Your reputation?
00:46:21Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:46:25What do you want, Max?
00:46:26I just want a little, an arrangement.
00:46:30I'd rather not.
00:46:32Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:46:36Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:46:40Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.
00:46:43I want to destroy you.
00:46:46In 24 hours.
00:46:48To end this charade, on your own.
00:46:51If by tomorrow, I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town, I'll do it for you.
00:47:14You seem extra happy today.
00:47:16I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole nother level last night.
00:47:22Wow, that's awesome, man.
00:47:24I'm so happy for you.
00:47:26Hi, Mr. Ellington.
00:47:27Hi, Kurt.
00:47:28Hi, Anna.
00:47:29Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:47:33Kurt?
00:47:35Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:47:40Hi, Ariel.
00:47:42You all right?
00:47:43Yeah, I'm all right.
00:47:45Um, I actually had an idea about the Cherry Bowl.
00:47:50While we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability,
00:47:55I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:59Where?
00:48:00I was thinking your house.
00:48:06Uh, I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:48:11Well, if we host it ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:48:17And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:48:20Yeah, that makes sense.
00:48:23Okay.
00:48:24Let's do it.
00:48:25Great.
00:48:26I'll send out the invitations.
00:48:27She really knows his company, inside and out.
00:48:34What do you know about Ariel?
00:48:37What do you want to know?
00:48:38Here you go, Mom.
00:48:54I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:48:56I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:58That's okay.
00:48:59We can watch it next weekend.
00:49:02Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:49:05Mom, you are my friend.
00:49:08People your age, who you can be out dancing with, flirting with boys.
00:49:15I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:49:18What?
00:49:19What's he like?
00:49:20That's complicated.
00:49:23Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:49:26Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:49:28Sweetie, I'm fine.
00:49:39I just need some rest.
00:49:40Okay.
00:49:43Hmm.
00:49:43Hmm.
00:49:43Hmm.
00:49:45Hmm.
00:49:46Hmm.
00:49:47Hmm.
00:49:48Hmm.
00:49:49Hmm.
00:49:50Hmm.
00:49:51Hmm.
00:49:52Hmm.
00:49:53Hmm.
00:49:54Hmm.
00:49:55Hmm.
00:49:56Hmm.
00:49:57Hmm.
00:49:58Hmm.
00:49:58And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.
00:50:04I'm dreading giving this speech.
00:50:07I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:50:10I always thought that was a little pervy, but I promise you're going to be amazing.
00:50:18Thank you so much for helping with this.
00:50:22This charity ball idea was genius.
00:50:25I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:50:27I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:50:29I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:50:32All right.
00:50:32Good night.
00:50:33Well, I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:50:39Make sure the dress fits.
00:50:41I'm sure she'd appreciate it.
00:50:43I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:50:44All right.
00:50:45Good night.
00:50:46Good night.
00:50:58Good night.
00:50:59Hello, darling.
00:51:00I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:51:03It's perfect.
00:51:05I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:51:08I can't wait either, darling.
00:51:10Good night.
00:51:30Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:51:35Thanks, Kurt.
00:51:36You're looking sharp.
00:51:38Oh, yeah, well, got to dress to impress, you know?
00:51:42Are you trying to impress anyone?
00:51:44Nah.
00:51:46Listen, random, does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:51:52I don't think so.
00:51:54Do you like her?
00:51:56No, no, no, no.
00:51:58No, no, I'm just trying to make friendly conversation.
00:52:03Yeah.
00:52:05We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:52:10Oh, you're still here.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:14Listen, if someone were to ask Hannah to dance,
00:52:21what do you think the chances are that she would say yes?
00:52:25Probably good.
00:52:26Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:52:29No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:52:31No, I'm just a fan of wild hypothetical scenarios.
00:52:37That one just sprung to mind.
00:52:40Mm-hmm.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:41Um, well, I'm going to go help Blaine practice his speech.
00:52:53So I'm going to do that right now.
00:52:56I will see you later.
00:52:58All right, see ya.
00:52:59And you must be Ariel.
00:53:06Yes, hi.
00:53:10You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:53:13He has?
00:53:14Oh, yes, yes.
00:53:15In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:53:21I suppose so.
00:53:22Wonderful.
00:53:25Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:53:30Wow, that's such an honor.
00:53:33I heard he was a great man.
00:53:35He was a great man.
00:53:37Martina.
00:53:39Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:53:43Yes, briefly.
00:53:44She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.
00:53:47Man, yes, she has.
00:53:48In fact, I can, uh, I can see her playing a bigger role than Ellington if she keeps it up.
00:53:55Why wait?
00:53:56She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:59Really?
00:54:00I think so.
00:54:01Don't you, Ariel?
00:54:03Uh, mm-hmm.
00:54:06Amazing.
00:54:07Well, I can't wait.
00:54:14Me either.
00:54:18I can't wait.
00:54:49Jesus.
00:54:53Ariel.
00:54:55Blaine.
00:54:56There you are.
00:54:57I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:54:58Here I am.
00:54:59Have you seen Valentina?
00:55:02No, I don't think so.
00:55:04About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:55:07Um, no.
00:55:09No, I don't think so.
00:55:10In fact...
00:55:12What?
00:55:13Nothing.
00:55:14It's ridiculous.
00:55:15I better say hi to those guests.
00:55:18But if you could find her for me, that would be great.
00:55:22I'll get right on that.
00:55:24Bye.
00:55:24Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.
00:55:37Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:55:39Okay.
00:55:40You can do this.
00:55:44Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:55:48Uh, he must be mistaken, love.
00:55:51I don't know this Ariel to speak of.
00:55:53Yeah, okay.
00:55:56Ariel.
00:55:58No, seriously.
00:56:00My name is Valentina Kingsley and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:56:04Oh, I get it.
00:56:05It's like one of those improv games or something.
00:56:09No, no, no.
00:56:09No game.
00:56:11My name is...
00:56:12Who should I be?
00:56:13Just be yourself.
00:56:16I'm the Queen of England.
00:56:20You can really tell it's me?
00:56:22Well, yeah.
00:56:23But, I mean, I can be very observant.
00:56:27Really?
00:56:27Mm-hmm.
00:56:28Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:56:33Okay.
00:56:33Can I ask why?
00:56:36Well, it's really complicated.
00:56:38Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:56:42Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:56:45Yeah, sure.
00:56:47Aw.
00:56:48Well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:56:54Yeah, thanks.
00:56:56I'm gonna need it.
00:56:56I'm gonna need it.
00:57:12Ah, there you are, darling.
00:57:20Ah, Valentina.
00:57:21I'm so glad to see you.
00:57:23Look at this place.
00:57:24I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:57:28I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:57:30Of course.
00:57:31You're doing a speech, I see.
00:57:33Well, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:57:36They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:57:39You make me feel so confident.
00:57:41I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:57:50Of course.
00:57:52Okay, perfect.
00:57:54Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside.
00:57:57I must go speak with her.
00:57:58Uh, Valentina, I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:58:07Yes.
00:58:08I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:58:11Great.
00:58:12Where would this be taking place?
00:58:14In the study or...?
00:58:16Upstairs.
00:58:17Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:58:20Ah, I see.
00:58:21You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:58:29What the heck did I say?
00:58:31I'll give you hints.
00:58:33If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:58:39I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:58:43Good luck, darling.
00:58:51Excuse me.
00:59:09What are you doing in here?
00:59:16Excuse me.
00:59:17What are you doing in here?
00:59:19Um...
00:59:19And who are you?
00:59:21Oh, um...
00:59:23Um, I...
00:59:26I, um...
00:59:27You look lost.
00:59:30I am, darling.
00:59:32I am lost.
00:59:33I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:59:38Grandfather?
00:59:39Yes?
00:59:40This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:59:45Oh, yes, yes.
00:59:46From the front page of the Times.
00:59:48Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:59:50I hope it was all good things.
00:59:53Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.
01:00:00And I trust that Blaine is, uh, treating you respectfully, like a lady.
01:00:06She is.
01:00:08Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.
01:00:10If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.
01:00:14Right.
01:00:17Good thing.
01:00:19Shall we return to the party?
01:00:22Yes, we shall.
01:00:24Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
01:00:26You too, sir.
01:00:27You seem quiet.
01:00:50Is everything all right?
01:00:52Everything's fine, darling.
01:00:53Hey, Valentina.
01:00:56I have a girl question for you.
01:01:02Oh, my God.
01:01:03For the love of God.
01:01:04You clearly have a crush on Hannah.
01:01:06Just ask her to dance.
01:01:08You just met me.
01:01:09You can already tell.
01:01:10Yes.
01:01:12You read me like a book.
01:01:14I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:01:16You're really inquisitive.
01:01:17In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:01:20Would you?
01:01:21That would be great.
01:01:24Dude.
01:01:28Hannah, I need a favor.
01:01:30Anything.
01:01:31When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
01:01:34If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
01:01:37And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.
01:01:41Got it.
01:01:42Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:01:46Really?
01:01:48Sorry.

01:06:30He was talking about me.
01:07:00Okay.
01:07:10Think, Ariel.
01:07:23What could the numbers be?
01:07:25It couldn't be our first date, could it?

01:08:19The code, darling.
01:08:24The future.
01:08:26In the palm of my hand.
01:08:28I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:08:33Blake's a good man.
01:08:36You're awful.
01:08:37He's rich, darling.
01:08:39He'll get over it.
01:08:40My mom?
01:08:42And her surgery?
01:08:43I've been accused of many things.
01:08:46But I always keep my word.
01:08:49Now, go and celebrate.
01:08:51You deserve it, darling.
01:08:52You deserve it, darling.
01:08:59Balancina.
01:09:20Hi, darling.
01:09:21There you are.
01:09:23How are you feeling?
01:09:25Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:09:28Excellent.
01:09:28Care as you dance?
01:09:30Certainly.
01:09:33Well, well, well, well.
01:09:38Look at the happy couple.
01:09:45How did you get in?
01:09:47Oh, I have my ways.
01:09:48We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:09:52Anyway, I just came here to congratulate you.
01:09:57On your little events.
01:10:00You need to leave.
01:10:01Actually, I don't think I do.
01:10:03Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:10:07She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:10:09No, no, no.
01:10:11There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:10:14What?
01:10:15If only your little assistant had assisted you in researching her.
01:10:21You know, it's funny.
01:10:22I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:10:26Lane, don't listen to him.
01:10:27What is he talking about?
01:10:30Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here.
01:10:33But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:10:49Ariel?
01:10:50This whole time, you've been Valentina?
01:11:07That's right.
01:11:08This whole time, you pretended to care about me.
01:11:12But you're just a liar.
01:11:14And worse, she's poor.
01:11:18Why?
01:11:20Yes, Ariel.
01:11:21But why?
01:11:23I'm so sorry.
01:11:25Ariel.
01:11:26Ariel, wait.
01:11:28How embarrassing.
01:11:30You know, I looked into you.
01:11:35You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the LAMO that you drove here.
01:11:41How preposterous.
01:11:43If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:11:46Ew.
01:11:48You're poor?
01:11:51Regina!
01:11:54Whew.
01:11:57You're my hero.
01:11:58Thanks.
01:11:59Sometimes I just got to tell him, you know.
01:12:06Ariel!
01:12:16What are you smiling about?
01:12:18I mean, come on.
01:12:20This proves it, right?
01:12:21He's a joke.
01:12:23No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:12:26He's a liability, Richard.
01:12:28And you are giving him the company with the luxury of not having to deal with this shit show because you won't be alive much longer.
01:12:34Oh, I'll do better on that.
01:12:36You know, you've got a lot of nerve talking to me like this, kid.
01:12:39You've got a lot of nerve letting the ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:12:46I should be running this company.
01:12:49Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:52Look, I do not want to hear it.
01:13:01You lied to me.
01:13:02Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me in there.
01:13:05That is fair.
01:13:12Regina!
01:13:12That was a disaster.
01:13:37I just don't understand.
01:13:42Why would she go through all that?
01:13:45I don't know.
01:13:47But, uh, these scandals are exhausting.
01:13:51Yeah.
01:13:52I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:13:54Right.
01:14:01I got a lot to think about.
01:14:03What do you mean?
01:14:05I mean, we may have to take the company in a complete different direction if we're going to gain back the public's trust.
01:14:12You can't be serious.
01:14:14Huh?
01:14:14Something better happen soon or it gets much worse.
01:14:24Did she want anything from you?
01:14:27I don't know, Martina.
01:14:29Nothing valuable?
01:14:30Martina, I said I don't...
01:14:31No!
01:14:55No!
01:14:55No!
01:14:55No!
01:14:56No!

01:16:36Drink. You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:16:45There it is. Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:16:50People walk in and out of my office, having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:16:56Of course, I won't be able to enjoy it too much longer, since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:17:02I guess I just feel bad.
01:17:06To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things. Break the rules a little.
01:17:13I guess.
01:17:15Ask any CEO, and they'll agree, including your little boy toy.
01:17:21Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:17:24Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:17:29What? All I need is your wiring info, and I can send it on over.
01:17:35I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed?
01:17:40I'm sorry, you haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:17:44No, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:17:50Marlene!
01:17:50All right, one more drink and we'll start packing up my things.
01:18:19Deal, one more.
01:18:27Anna!
01:18:28Hi, Mr. Ellington. May I come in?
01:18:30Sure, come on in.
01:18:32Hi, cutie.
01:18:37Care for a drink?
01:18:38Oh, no. I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:18:41Wait, what was that?
01:18:42Mr. Ellington, I have a delivery for you.
01:18:45From who?
01:18:46Ariel.
01:18:46Ariel.
01:18:49I don't want it. Take it back.
01:18:56She said you might say that, but she said that it was very, very important.
01:19:01How important?
01:19:04I don't know, but she did say that it was something so important that she only trusted me to deliver it, so it must be a big deal.
01:19:11Oh, my God.
01:19:27Oh, my God.
01:19:29What's happening?
01:19:31What's going on? What does this mean?
01:19:32Oh, Flora?
01:19:52Yes, darling?
01:19:53Your appointment had to leave early.
01:19:55I asked if they wanted to schedule, but they said no.
01:19:57I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:20:01What was the name?
01:20:04Valentina Kingsley?
01:20:05You're rich.
01:20:26You'll get over it, darling.
01:20:29Darling.
01:20:29Oh, what's going on? What does this mean?
01:20:51Thank you for everything.
01:20:53Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh, that one, the thing?
01:21:01Yes, yes, let's, uh, let's do that.
01:21:08Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:21:11Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this, but it's time, but it's time, but it's time, to celebrate.
01:21:39You are going to regret this.
01:21:46I promise you that.
01:21:51Jeez, what did you do?
01:21:54I don't know, girl, but the way she wears that dress, she can step on me any day.
01:22:01Let me see.
01:22:02I knew you could do it.
01:22:03I knew it.
01:22:05You know, your dad would be so proud of you.
01:22:09Dr. Westfall.
01:22:22Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:22:23Is surgery over? How did it go?
01:22:24Yes, we just finished.
01:22:26Um, there were complications.
01:22:28Complications?
01:22:28Yes, but we were able to work through them, and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:22:34Really?
01:22:35Yeah, really, yes.
01:22:36In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:22:38She's going to need to rest for a few hours, but when she wakes up, she's going to feel better than she has in a long time.
01:22:44I can't thank you enough.
01:22:46I'm happy to help.
01:22:47I'm happy to help.
01:23:02Come in, come in!
01:23:28Welcome!
01:23:32Ariel!
01:23:34Mom, why didn't you leave out of bed?
01:23:39The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:23:41I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window and I got kind of excited.
01:23:47Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:23:50No, thank you, but thank you.
01:23:52Oh, thank you.
01:23:53Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:23:55Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:23:59Oh, of course.
01:24:02I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:24:06I'm so, so sorry.
01:24:17I, uh, I understand why you did it.
01:24:22And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:24:26Thank you for everything.
01:24:29I don't even know where to start.
01:24:35I'm not looking for an apology.
01:24:38You're not?
01:24:39No.
01:24:40See, I'm still CEO and I need an assistant.
01:24:45And you're kind of the best in town.
01:24:48I accept.
01:24:49And, uh, you're still looking for a girlfriend?
01:24:58Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:25:05I love you, Valentina.
01:25:19I mean, Ariel.
01:25:22That's gonna take some getting used to.
01:25:26There aren't any starry rooftop views here, but this is my special place.
01:25:33It's even better.
