00:00:00Hey, this is Richard Allenton, I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message.
00:00:15Hey Grandpa, it's one to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody-two-shoe women,
00:00:24but to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind
00:00:28date, that's low.
00:00:31Let's hope this one's different.
00:00:35I don't know what to say to this guy, I don't know how to talk to rich people, be sexy.
00:00:44Darling, just act better than everyone else in the room, and being sexy is easy, bite
00:00:49your lip, push up the girls, it works every time.
00:00:53Wait, what was?
00:00:54And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily, so challenge them, be bold, and put
00:01:00them on the spot.
00:01:01I don't think I can do this.
00:01:03The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your
00:01:08mother's surgery.
00:01:09It's your call.
00:01:23Are you going to stare at me all night, or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:01:44Of course.
00:01:47Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.
00:01:58You're so...
00:02:00Rich?
00:02:01Sexy?
00:02:02Frankly, yes.
00:02:04Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:10Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:11And you are?
00:02:12Blaine Ellington.
00:02:14CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:17And this is a successful company?
00:02:20It's not ringing any bells.
00:02:23Waiter?
00:02:24Yes, Mr. Ellington.
00:02:26You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:02:29Yes, of course.
00:02:30If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:02:33It's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:02:36You want two?
00:02:38Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.
00:02:41Better bring three.
00:02:43Yes, of course, right away, sir.
00:02:50And what do you do, Valentina King?
00:02:53I invest.
00:02:55In what?
00:02:57In everything.
00:03:00What am I not in?
00:03:02Businesses, charities.
00:03:06I see.
00:03:08And you live in the city?
00:03:11The city.
00:03:13The hills.
00:03:15My yacht.
00:03:17My private island.
00:03:20I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:22You're so impressive.
00:03:25So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:29Doesn't surprise me.
00:03:30I'm one of a kind.
00:03:33Um, you've got a little, uh...
00:03:47Kurt?
00:03:48Kurt?
00:03:49What's my manager doing here?
00:03:52Blaine.
00:03:55My business dinner just ended.
00:03:57The presentation for the China branch?
00:03:59Good, amazing.
00:04:00You're the best, Kurt.
00:04:01Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two.
00:04:03Just wanted to say hi.
00:04:05Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:07Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:09Ah, classic.
00:04:11All right, well, you two have fun.
00:04:19I've got to be honest with you.
00:04:22You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.
00:04:26Would you like to come to my place?
00:04:29I can take this chance to get closer to the A.I. code.
00:04:32Absolutely.
00:04:39Whoa.
00:04:42Welcome to my home.
00:04:44After you.
00:05:00Oh, my.
00:05:11Do you like what you see?
00:05:14You're getting there, darling.
00:05:16Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:19Well, then, shall we get started?
00:05:25Not so fast.
00:05:28Okay, a little foreplay?
00:05:30I did not think that all.
00:05:32How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:05:39Looking for something?
00:05:42Oh, um...
00:05:45Ah.
00:05:47I should have known that was your style.
00:05:50Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:53Ugh, I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:05:56I'm used to being the one tied up.
00:05:58It's usually the other way around.
00:06:04Valentina?
00:06:06Patience, darling.
00:06:08I'm building the suspense.
00:06:11Ah, I see.
00:06:13Right.
00:06:15And you say guys actually like this?
00:06:17Oh, yes.
00:06:19It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:06:24How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:30That's...
00:06:32That's new.
00:06:35The painting!
00:06:37Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:06:39Oh, uh, sorry.
00:06:41This painting caught my eye.
00:06:43It looks exactly like the one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:06:48It's where I keep my safe.
00:06:51People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:06:55I thought that was only in the movies.
00:06:57Oh, no, it's quite popular.
00:07:00Where do you hide your luxurious safe keepings?
00:07:05In a super, super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:09Ugh, come on.
00:07:11Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?
00:07:15Oh, uh, most unfortunate.
00:07:18I'm getting the utmost important business call, and I must take it.
00:07:22Right now? What?
00:07:24What about me?
00:07:26Valentina!
00:07:30Wait!
00:07:32Untie me!
00:07:37Ew.
00:07:39Really, Blaine?
00:07:40What?
00:07:42You and your models.
00:07:44Last night was not a model.
00:07:47I was actually impressed.
00:07:50Did I hear right?
00:07:52Blaine actually had a date he liked?
00:07:55It was fantastic.
00:07:57The other girls are so boring.
00:07:59But this one, she's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:08:03I must see her again.
00:08:05These dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:08It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.
00:08:13Grandfather, listen to him.
00:08:16He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:08:18I am much more qualified.
00:08:20I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:08:23No, no, no, no.
00:08:25Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:08:28Right?
00:08:30You weren't meant to be some CEO.
00:08:32I'm not.
00:08:34I'm not.
00:08:36I'm not.
00:08:38I'm not.
00:08:40You weren't meant to be some CEO.
00:08:43No, but Blaine, Blaine will learn in time.
00:08:46Whatever.
00:08:48Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:08:51I have actual work to attend to.
00:08:57Yeah, yeah, thanks.
00:09:05Hello?
00:09:06How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:10To perfection.
00:09:13Charity has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:15It won't be long until he slips up,
00:09:17and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:22Brilliant.
00:09:23It's all coming together perfectly.
00:09:26And the VR tech you're developing,
00:09:28it'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?
00:09:30Oh, yes.
00:09:31It'll be ready.
00:09:32Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:09:40I can't stop thinking about this girl from last night.
00:09:43I think she's the one.
00:09:44It's about time we broke up.
00:09:45What's he doing here?
00:09:46Speaking of girls,
00:09:47I think I know who fixed the measurement system.
00:09:50Oh.
00:09:51Sorry.
00:09:52I'm fine.
00:09:55Ariel.
00:09:56What's my name?
00:09:58You dropped your badge.
00:10:06There you go.
00:10:08There you go.
00:10:10Thanks.
00:10:21Are you playing hide and seek?
00:10:22Is that where you were laying?
00:10:23Can I hide next?
00:10:24No, I was dropping my mom off at the hospital.
00:10:27Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:10:29Wait, oh my god, is she okay?
00:10:31Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:10:32She's just getting some tests done.
00:10:34Oh, thank goodness.
00:10:36Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:10:38Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:10:41Are you gonna apply?
00:10:42I'm good where I am,
00:10:43but all the girls are applying.
00:10:45Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:10:46I'm the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:10:48I think this position is yours.
00:10:59He's gorgeous.
00:11:01I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:11:05Attention, everyone.
00:11:06My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:11:10I will try my best to my father,
00:11:13but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:11:17And since he is adjusting to this new role,
00:11:20I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:11:23Not me, not me, not me.
00:11:25Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:11:29Ah!
00:11:34All right, everyone, back to work.
00:11:42You look exactly like...
00:11:46Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:52Kurt described.
00:11:54Clean, organized desk.
00:11:56Confident composure.
00:11:59There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:12:01This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:12:04When do I start?
00:12:06Perfect.
00:12:07First thing I need help with is this file.
00:12:10Oh, got to take a phone call.
00:12:13Send it to me in an e-mail.
00:12:17Ariel wants to meet you again.
00:12:20Really?
00:12:21Also, I got you a second number.
00:12:24Just click the link to connect it,
00:12:25so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:12:28Great.
00:12:34Hmm, new number, huh?
00:12:39Hello?
00:12:40Hello, Ariel? This is Dr. Westfall.
00:12:42We just got your mother's results.
00:12:48It's not what we hoped,
00:12:50so we need to move quickly
00:12:52if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:12:55Okay, I understand.
00:12:57I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:13:10Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:12I just finished dinner.
00:13:14Mom, you should be in bed.
00:13:16Honey, I'm fine.
00:13:18Besides, you've been working all day.
00:13:19You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:13:21Mom, please.
00:13:22Honey, sit down.
00:13:28Sit down.
00:13:38The doctor called?
00:13:40He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:42Hush, hush, hush.
00:13:43Hush.
00:13:44None of that talk, okay?
00:13:46Mom, eat before your food gets cold.
00:13:51Okay.
00:13:57Okay.
00:14:05It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:07Are you ready?
00:14:09Yeah.
00:14:13Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:15I'll make it to go.
00:14:21Oh.
00:14:31Oh, where am I?
00:14:37Valentina!
00:14:39Blaine!
00:14:41Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:14:44Do you intend to have me killed?
00:14:46No, not at all.
00:14:47This place is special.
00:14:49Follow me.
00:15:01How many more?
00:15:03We're almost there. Come on.
00:15:20Wow.
00:15:30Would you look at that view?
00:15:34I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:15:36Just you, actually.
00:15:38I discovered this place after my father died.
00:15:42When your family died?
00:15:44Yeah.
00:15:45And I've been thrown into the CEO position,
00:15:48and I'm a bit in over my head,
00:15:51so I never really get a chance to myself,
00:15:54except when I come here.
00:15:58I'm so sorry.
00:16:05My mom is sick.
00:16:10She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:16So I know how it feels to want to get away.
00:16:20Yeah.
00:16:23I'm used to getting everything,
00:16:25but this is one thing that money can't buy.
00:16:30I'm so sorry about your mom.
00:16:32Thanks.
00:16:35She's all I've got.
00:16:38I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:16:46Hey, who's out here?
00:16:51What's happening?
00:16:53Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:16:55What?
00:16:56Run.
00:17:04Hey!
00:17:07Still.
00:17:15What was that?
00:17:17That was fun.
00:17:18Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:17:21No, I suppose not.
00:17:25I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:17:30I can be myself around you.
00:17:33I feel the same way.
00:17:35Will you be my girlfriend, Valentina?
00:17:37That's right. I'm supposed to be Valentina.
00:17:40I can't do this to him.
00:17:45But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.
00:17:49I'd love to.
00:17:54Well, well, well.
00:17:57Martina, what are you doing here?
00:18:00I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:18:04Had to see it for myself.
00:18:06Well, that blind date went so well the other night,
00:18:09it got me thinking maybe Grandfather was right.
00:18:12Is that so?
00:18:14Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:18:16That's right.
00:18:18Wow. What's she like?
00:18:20She's funny, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable.
00:18:26She's the whole package.
00:18:28Sounds like one that Dad actually would have approved of.
00:18:31I'd love to meet her.
00:18:34Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington. Is this a bad time?
00:18:37No, not at all. My sister just came to visit.
00:18:40Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:18:43Martina, nice to meet you.
00:18:45Likewise. Glad to see my brother has someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:18:50Don't you worry. I got this.
00:18:52Well, after you lost the keys to the Maserati,
00:18:54I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new AI tech that we need.
00:18:57I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati.
00:18:59And don't you worry. I've got the codes right here on this drive.
00:19:04And I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:14I'm glad to hear you're doing that. I have wasted enough time.
00:19:20Now you know exactly where it is.
00:19:22Get it.
00:19:33All right, where's that drive?
00:19:35I don't know.
00:19:37It's in the back.
00:19:40All right, where's that drive?
00:19:48Are you kidding? There's nothing in here.
00:20:03They're coming in. Crap!
00:20:06How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:20:10If you don't twist my arm.
00:20:12If you don't twist my arm.
00:20:14No, no, no.
00:20:22Oh, yeah.
00:20:27Sarah?
00:20:28Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:32Right, right, right. After then.
00:20:34Yeah.
00:20:43That was close.
00:20:50Hey, girlfriend. Can I ask your advice on something?
00:20:53Sure. What's going on?
00:20:55So, I have this friend who is having boy problems.
00:20:58Aren't we all?
00:21:00So, she has a crush on her boss and she doesn't know what to do about it because of the whole workplace relationship thing.
00:21:06How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:21:08Wait, I don't like Blaine.
00:21:10But he deserves to know though, right?
00:21:12You're going to tell him?
00:21:14I mean, I don't know because if I tell Kurt I like him and he doesn't like me and then it's so totally awkward and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.
00:21:21Wait, you like Kurt?
00:21:24I gotta go. What? Ring, ring. Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:21:29Ring, ring.
00:21:36Ariel.
00:21:37Yes, Mr. Ellington?
00:21:39I need your personal help.
00:21:41Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:21:54Wow, really?
00:21:56Um, I mean, yeah. First girlfriend, first gift. Checks out.
00:22:01So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:17Oh my God, I'm going to be wearing that?
00:22:20Sorry?
00:22:22Your girlfriend's going to be wearing that?
00:22:24Yeah. It's pretty nice, right?
00:22:27Well, I mean, it's option one.
00:22:30You think she'll like it?
00:22:32Um, well, what's your girlfriend like? What are her tastes?
00:22:39Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous, generous, gorgeous.
00:22:46The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.
00:22:52I see.
00:22:55So, keep that in mind. Option two.
00:23:02And that's even more revealing than the first one.
00:23:05Yeah, this is big in Europe. Between you and me, I'm rooting for this guy.
00:23:10I see. Do you have anything more modest?
00:23:15Hm, modest?
00:23:17Yeah, that seems to be the style I've been seeing these days.
00:23:22With the rich folk, at least.
00:23:25You know, now that you say it, I think I do have something.
00:23:34Aha!
00:23:37What do you think?
00:23:39I think she'd really like that.
00:23:48Can I have a margarita?
00:23:50You can't be serious, darling.
00:23:53She'll have a French 75 with cognac.
00:23:56Flora, what are you doing here?
00:23:58Making sure you look the part.
00:24:00You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?
00:24:03Yes, more than anything.
00:24:05Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize.
00:24:08We need to get our hands on that code fast.
00:24:11Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery, but until then, we're in this together.
00:24:16Yes?
00:24:18Yeah.
00:24:20Excellent. Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:23Make him even more vulnerable, and get him to tell me where the code is.
00:24:28And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:24:31Um, be nice?
00:24:36Your ignorance is both cute and annoying.
00:24:41No, a man like Blaine Ellington is going to become vulnerable.
00:24:47Drinking with him, and going to bed with him.
00:24:52Right.
00:24:54I can do that.
00:24:56I hope so, because he's coming this way.
00:25:01Get the code soon, honey.
00:25:04For your mother.
00:25:06Okay.
00:25:08Oh!
00:25:10And darling, have fun.
00:25:17Valentina.
00:25:20How are you?
00:25:22Wonderful, love. I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:25:25Is that so?
00:25:27Indeed.
00:25:29I was so distracted. It affected my croquet score.
00:25:33Oh no. Distracted over little old me.
00:25:35Yes.
00:25:37I must know everything about you.
00:25:39Well, what would you like to know?
00:25:42Everything.
00:25:44Well, I don't know about everything.
00:25:46It might take some time for me to open up.
00:25:48Well, maybe after a few drinks?
00:25:52Only if you can keep up.
00:25:54Maybe I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking.
00:25:57Oh no.
00:25:58Start talking until after a lot of drinking.
00:26:03Well, here goes nothing.
00:26:13That's really good.
00:26:15Stop.
00:26:17That's not nice.
00:26:19Stop.
00:26:25You know, my sister was implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is
00:26:31because I forget stuff and...
00:26:35Are you forgetful?
00:26:38I mean, yeah.
00:26:40Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:26:44What? Really?
00:26:45Yeah.
00:26:46It cost me $10,000 just to get them rekeyed.
00:26:50Which is why I should probably tell someone in case I do forget.
00:26:56So maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome and trustworthy?
00:27:02Well, if you'd like, go ahead.
00:27:05I'll tell you first.
00:27:12I'm going to hit the men's room.
00:27:14Of course.
00:27:18This is it.
00:27:19All I need to do is ask him where the code is and my mission is over.
00:27:23Nothing can stop me now.
00:27:25Ariel?
00:27:27Except my ex-boyfriend.
00:27:32I don't know what you're talking about, darling.
00:27:34I don't know this Ariel.
00:27:37No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:39You are definitely Ariel.
00:27:42But what are you doing in a place like this?
00:27:45You're poor.
00:27:47Fine. Please leave, Max.
00:27:49It's Maximilian now.
00:27:51Because I'm Max and I make millions.
00:27:54Whatever. Please. I'm begging you.
00:27:56Look at you. You look so much better.
00:28:00You look...
00:28:02What's that word?
00:28:04Rich?
00:28:05Please.
00:28:06I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately,
00:28:08but I've become very rich.
00:28:11Yes. You've sent me 50 messages about it.
00:28:1350 messages about it. I had to block your number.
00:28:16Oh. Yeah, that's right.
00:28:18Please. I'll do whatever you want, okay?
00:28:20I just...
00:28:22How about a kiss for old time's sake?
00:28:25You know, Ariel, sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together.
00:28:30This isn't happening.
00:28:32Do you not remember when we'd go and get taco Tuesday
00:28:35at that Mexican restaurant and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:28:40I'm very...
00:28:42Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:44Yes, he does.
00:28:45A situation shipped at best.
00:28:48Let go, Max.
00:28:49Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:28:52Get off her.
00:28:56Blaine Ellington?
00:28:58Max Fletcher.
00:28:59Maximilian?
00:29:01What are you doing with that peasant?
00:29:03That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
00:29:05Blaine Ellington.
00:29:07You're getting my sloppy seconds.
00:29:23This isn't over.
00:29:28Come on, Regina.
00:29:33Just stay away from my man, skank.
00:29:36He's actually trying to.
00:29:40Are you okay?
00:29:41Yeah, I think so.
00:29:43We gotta get out of here.
00:29:45This isn't good.
00:29:54Care to explain this?
00:29:56I assume the article does a good job.
00:30:00Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?
00:30:05What are you, a child?
00:30:06Not a child, but he started it.
00:30:09I don't care who started it.
00:30:11Ellington is a company based in family values.
00:30:16I was out with my girlfriend trying to uphold those family values.
00:30:20No, don't play the girlfriend card.
00:30:23The onus is you on this, pal.
00:30:26Maybe your sister was right.
00:30:30Maybe you're too much of a risk,
00:30:32even though you say you've settled down.
00:30:34Either way, I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.
00:30:40What would your father think?
00:30:59On the easy lies the head that wears a crown.
00:31:02What is that? Some family motto I'm not aware of?
00:31:05It's Shakespeare, you idiot.
00:31:08What are you doing here? You don't want any of this.
00:31:11You don't know what I want.
00:31:13Uh, booze and bimbos?
00:31:16Or does page one of the paper say something different?
00:31:19She's not a bimbo.
00:31:22Then don't treat her like one.
00:31:25Treat her like Dad treated Mom.
00:31:29How do you mean?
00:31:32Bring her completely into your life.
00:31:35Let her know everything about you.
00:31:38I'm trying to.
00:31:40Just last night we were sharing everything with each other.
00:31:43Okay, share more.
00:31:45Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:31:48I will.
00:31:50I'm going to get close to this woman.
00:31:52You'll see.
00:31:54And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one.
00:31:58Shakespeare?
00:32:00Yeah.
00:32:02Ow.
00:32:12Martina, how are you?
00:32:15How am I?
00:32:17Yeah, how are you?
00:32:19I am annoyed. Time is-
00:32:21Do you understand?
00:32:23We chose you because we thought you could get the job done.
00:32:26But now I'm not so sure.
00:32:29Wait.
00:32:31Oh my God, do you have feelings for him?
00:32:34What? No.
00:32:36I hope not. Because you have four days to get that code.
00:32:39Or you can say bye to Mommy.
00:32:42Other than that-
00:32:44I am fine. Thanks for asking.
00:32:52Happy Hump Day, Bestie!
00:32:55It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:32:57Oh, right.
00:32:59Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:33:01Better.
00:33:03And-
00:33:04Worse.
00:33:05That sounds super complicated.
00:33:07You have no idea.
00:33:09Aaron?
00:33:10Can you come in here?
00:33:12Can you come in here?
00:33:13I'll be right there.
00:33:15Good thing you've got work to distract you.
00:33:17Good thing.
00:33:20Oh, you have the file for China Branch?
00:33:23Yeah.
00:33:31Long night?
00:33:35You know what?
00:33:37Let's forget about the file.
00:33:41Let's just close our eyes for, um, ten minutes.
00:33:53That's an order.
00:33:55Okay.
00:33:57You know what?
00:33:59Let's forget about the file.
00:34:02You know what?
00:34:04Let's forget about the file.
00:34:07That's an order.
00:34:09Okay.
00:34:16This is nice.
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:21This should be, like, an everyday thing.
00:34:25Mm-hmm.
00:34:28Good morning! Another beautiful day in Ellington.
00:34:31Let's get it! Woo!
00:34:33Oh, Hannah!
00:34:38Well, I guess that's over.
00:34:42Um...
00:34:44Well, everything should be there.
00:34:47I can't even concentrate on work right now.
00:34:51Oh? Why?
00:34:53Well, I don't know if you heard, but...
00:34:58Oh, my. That's, uh, quite a scene.
00:35:01Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:35:04I can imagine.
00:35:06Just, I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.
00:35:12You should just talk to her and be honest.
00:35:15Yeah. I'm gonna call her.
00:35:18What?
00:35:21Yeah, can you be in the room when I do it?
00:35:24Uh, you want me in the room?
00:35:26Yeah, maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.
00:35:31Tell me if she's upset.
00:35:33Uh...
00:35:35I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:35:37Makes me so nervous.
00:35:39I'm sure you make her nervous, too.
00:35:41Shit, shit, shit!
00:35:43You.
00:35:45Shit, shit, shit!
00:35:48Uh-oh!
00:35:50Think, Ariel, think!
00:35:52Uh, I'm gonna be sick. Uh, bathroom!
00:35:55Shit.
00:36:01Hello, darling.
00:36:03Hey, Valentina.
00:36:05How are you?
00:36:07Thriving, my dear.
00:36:09How are you feeling?
00:36:11A little banged up, but I've been worse.
00:36:14You should have been with me in my partying days in Ibiza.
00:36:17I was an absolute heathen.
00:36:20Well, I'm glad to hear you're feeling all right.
00:36:24Uh, I was worried.
00:36:28No need, darling.
00:36:30I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:36:33Oh, I wanted to know if I'd get to see you again.
00:36:38You will. Very soon.
00:36:42Uh, sorry.
00:36:45Can I help you?
00:36:47I couldn't hear you. It kind of sounded like...
00:36:50Sorry, Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.
00:36:55Must be going.
00:36:57Okay, sure. See you.
00:37:00Ta-ta!
00:37:12Community theater.
00:37:15Character. I'm rehearsing.
00:37:19Murder mystery.
00:37:22I'll, uh, send you the dates.
00:37:25I'm not in the theater.
00:37:28That's fair.
00:37:42Mom, I'm home!
00:37:44Hi, honey, how was your day?
00:37:47It was... not boring.
00:37:51How was yours?
00:37:53It was wonderful.
00:37:55I did laundry, watched some...
00:37:58What are you cooking?
00:38:00I told you I was gonna cook tonight.
00:38:02Well, you weren't home yet, and I wanted to go ahead and get started
00:38:05so your co-worker could have some, too.
00:38:07My co-worker?
00:38:09Hello, darling.
00:38:17Flora!
00:38:19What are you doing here?
00:38:21I was going to call you about a few questions,
00:38:23but I was, uh, in the neighborhood
00:38:27and thought I'd drop in.
00:38:29Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion.
00:38:32You didn't say anything about a job promotion.
00:38:34I guess it's...
00:38:38I guess it slipped my mind.
00:38:41Well, you two don't mind me.
00:38:43Go ahead and have your work talk.
00:38:45Dinner will be ready soon.
00:38:57What are you doing here?
00:38:59Checking in to see what progress was made last night.
00:39:02I, um, I got close to finding out where he hit the drive,
00:39:06but I...
00:39:07But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:39:09I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:39:12Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:39:16You're not getting attached.
00:39:18What? No. Of course not.
00:39:21Good. I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:39:27Dinner's ready.
00:39:29Deeply sorry, darling.
00:39:31Urgent business. Must be taking off.
00:39:33Oh, okay, well, it was nice meeting you.
00:39:36You too, darling.
00:39:42Tick tock.
00:39:55All right, I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal.
00:40:00Any ideas?
00:40:02Inner rehab.
00:40:04Too tacky.
00:40:06Go volunteer in a third world country?
00:40:08Mm, too obvious.
00:40:10Record an apology video for social media and post it there.
00:40:14Too cringe.
00:40:19Adopt an orphan.
00:40:20Now that is something.
00:40:22Ariel, how good are you at raising kids?
00:40:24Um, let's think of other options.
00:40:29What about a charity ball?
00:40:31Yes, that's it. That's the one.
00:40:34I like that. I like it a lot.
00:40:36Isn't she good?
00:40:38Phenomenal.
00:40:39Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant.
00:40:43So, really, this kind of all comes back to...
00:40:45Got it. Wait, what charity would it be for?
00:40:49How about unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:40:52I'd love that. Let's get it rolling.
00:40:55I'll start right away.
00:40:58You've become an integral part of our company,
00:41:01and I want to have you seated at our VIP table.
00:41:04Oh, my gosh. Thank you. I'm honored.
00:41:06Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend Valentina, and you.
00:41:11Good job.
00:41:17Let's see how it looks. Come out.
00:41:22It fits perfectly, darling.
00:41:25Wow. Stunning.
00:41:31Next, I'll have to get you a dress.
00:41:33A dress? What's the occasion?
00:41:37Well, I'm hosting this show, and I would love for you to be my date.
00:41:43I love a good ball.
00:41:45But I must check my schedule, darling.
00:41:48Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?
00:41:52My new AI tech. It's going to revolutionize the world.
00:41:56Ah, yes.
00:41:58We got interrupted. You were going to tell me something important.
00:42:03What were you going to say?
00:42:05It's not really that necessary.
00:42:09You don't trust me?
00:42:11I do. This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO, and I just want it to go well.
00:42:18But I thought I was special.
00:42:21You are. I just...
00:42:23Well, you know, if you don't trust me...
00:42:26Wait.
00:42:31So you do trust me?
00:42:41So Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?
00:42:47Super special secret?
00:42:52Where is it?
00:42:54It's here. In the mansion.
00:43:00It's here?
00:43:03Whoa.
00:43:15We're in the mansion.
00:43:17It's...
00:43:23Yeah.
00:43:25Now?
00:43:28Okay. I'll be there.
00:43:37Where are you going, darling?
00:43:40They need me to be on this call with China, so I have to leave.
00:43:45You have to leave right now, darling?
00:43:47Yeah. Now.
00:43:49I'm sorry.
00:43:51Pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:43:54Yeah.
00:43:57Martina was right about you.
00:44:00I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:28Did you get it?
00:44:30The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:44:33Excellent, darling. Excellent.
00:44:58Max? What are you doing here?
00:45:00What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:45:02Or should I say...
00:45:04Valentina Kingsley?
00:45:06You wouldn't understand.
00:45:08Oh, I understand.
00:45:09You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:45:14No, I'm not. I...
00:45:16You know, I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.
00:45:23It's only the right thing to do.
00:45:26Please don't. You don't know what I'm doing.
00:45:28Oh, you'll lose your job? Your reputation?
00:45:32Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:45:36What do you want, Max?
00:45:38I just want an arrangement.
00:45:41I'd rather not.
00:45:43Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:45:48Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:45:50Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:45:52Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.
00:45:55I want to destroy you.
00:45:58You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.
00:46:04If by tomorrow I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town...
00:46:11I'll do it for you.
00:46:21You seem extra happy today.
00:46:25I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole nother level last night.
00:46:30That's awesome, man. I'm so happy for you.
00:46:33Hi, Mr. Linkton. Hi, Kurt.
00:46:35Hi, Anna.
00:46:37Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:46:40Kurt?
00:46:42Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:46:46Are you all right?
00:46:48Yeah, I'm all right.
00:46:51I actually had an idea about the charity ball.
00:46:55Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:47:00I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:03Where?
00:47:05I was thinking your house.
00:47:08Oh.
00:47:11Where?
00:47:13I was thinking your house.
00:47:19I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:47:24Well, if we host it ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:47:29And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:47:33That makes sense.
00:47:35Okay, let's do it.
00:47:37All right, I'll send out the invitations.
00:47:43She really knows this company inside and out.
00:47:46What do you know about Ariel?
00:48:02Here you go, Mom.
00:48:04I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:48:07I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:09That's okay. We can watch it next weekend.
00:48:12Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:48:16Mom, you are my friend.
00:48:18People your age, who you can be out dancing with, flirting with boys.
00:48:25I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:48:28What? What's he like?
00:48:31It's complicated.
00:48:33Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:48:36Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:48:46Sweetie, I'm fine. I just need some rest.
00:49:04And then after your speech, night away.
00:49:08I am dreading giving this speech.
00:49:11I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:49:15I always thought that was a little pervy, but...
00:49:19I promise, you're going to be amazing.
00:49:23Thank you so much for helping with this.
00:49:27This whole idea was genius.
00:49:30This whole idea was genius.
00:49:33I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:49:36I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:49:41Well, I should get going.
00:49:43Wait, I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:49:47Make sure the dress fits.
00:49:50I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:49:52All right. Good night.
00:50:01Oh, darling.
00:50:07I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:50:10It's perfect.
00:50:12I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:50:15I can't wait either, darling.
00:50:17Good night.
00:50:31Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:50:35Thanks, Kurt. You're looking sharp.
00:50:37Oh, yeah. Well, got a dress to impress now.
00:50:41Are you trying to impress me?
00:50:43Nah.
00:50:45Listen, Random.
00:50:48Does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:50:51I don't think so.
00:50:54I don't think so.
00:50:57I don't think so.
00:51:00Do you like her?
00:51:02No. No, no, no.
00:51:05No, I'm just trying to make friendly conversation.
00:51:09Yeah.
00:51:11We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:51:15Oh.
00:51:17You're still here.
00:51:18Yeah.
00:51:19Uh, listen.
00:51:21If someone were to ask Hannah to dance,
00:51:26what do you think the chances are that she would say yes?
00:51:30Probably good.
00:51:32Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:51:34No. No. No, no, no, no.
00:51:36No, I'm just, um, a fan of wild, hypothetical scenarios.
00:51:42That one just sprung to mind.
00:51:44Mm-hmm. Okay.
00:51:47Yep.
00:51:49Um, well, I'm gonna go
00:51:54help Blaine practice his speech.
00:51:57So I'm going to do that right now.
00:52:00I will see you later.
00:52:02All right, see ya.
00:52:05And you must be Ariel.
00:52:10Yes, hi.
00:52:13Hmm.
00:52:14You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:52:17He has?
00:52:18Oh, yes, yes.
00:52:19In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:52:24I suppose so.
00:52:26Wonderful.
00:52:28Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done
00:52:31if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:52:34Wow, that's such an honor.
00:52:36I heard he was a great man.
00:52:38He was a great man.
00:52:41Martina.
00:52:43Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:52:46Yes, briefly.
00:52:48She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive young man.
00:52:51Yes, she has.
00:52:52In fact, I can see her playing a bigger Ellington if she keeps it up.
00:52:58Why wait? She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:02Really?
00:53:03I think so.
00:53:04You Ariel?
00:53:06Uh, mm-hmm.
00:53:08Amazing.
00:53:10Well, I can't wait.
00:53:16Me either.
00:53:46Ariel.
00:53:57Blaine.
00:53:58There you are.
00:53:59I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:54:00Here I am.
00:54:02Have you seen Valentina?
00:54:04No, I don't think so.
00:54:06About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:54:10Um, no.
00:54:11No, I don't think so.
00:54:13In fact.
00:54:14What?
00:54:16Nothing.
00:54:17It's ridiculous.
00:54:19I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me, that would be great.
00:54:24I'll get right on that.
00:54:26Bye.
00:54:35Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.
00:54:39Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:54:41Okay.
00:54:43You can do this.
00:54:46Oh, hi Ariel.
00:54:50Uh, hey love.
00:54:52I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:54:55Yeah, okay.
00:54:57Ariel.
00:54:59No, seriously.
00:55:01My name is Valentina Kingsley and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:55:05Oh, I get it.
00:55:06It's like one of those improv or something.
00:55:09No, no, no.
00:55:10No game.
00:55:12My name is-
00:55:13Who else should I be?
00:55:15Just be yourself.
00:55:17I'm the queen of England.
00:55:21You can really tell it's me?
00:55:23Yeah, but I mean, I can be very observant.
00:55:27Really?
00:55:28Mm-hmm.
00:55:29Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:55:33Okay.
00:55:34Can I ask why?
00:55:36Well, it's really complicated.
00:55:39Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:55:43Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:55:46Yeah, sure.
00:55:47Aww.
00:55:48Well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:55:54Yeah, thanks.
00:55:56I'm gonna need it.
00:56:10Oh, there you are, darling.
00:56:19Valentina.
00:56:20I'm so glad to see you.
00:56:22Look at this place.
00:56:24I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:56:27I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:56:29Of course.
00:56:30You're doing a speech, I see.
00:56:32Oh, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:56:35They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:56:39You make me feel so confident.
00:56:41I need to be looking at you.
00:56:49Of course.
00:56:51Okay, perfect.
00:56:53Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside.
00:56:56I must go speak with her.
00:56:57Uh, Valentina, I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:57:05Yes.
00:57:07I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:57:09Great.
00:57:11Where would this be taking place?
00:57:13In the study, or...?
00:57:15Upstairs.
00:57:16Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:57:19Ah.
00:57:20I see.
00:57:22You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:57:28What the heck did I say?
00:57:30I'll give you a hint.
00:57:32If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:57:38I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:57:41Good luck, darling.
00:58:03Excuse me.
00:58:04What are you doing in here?
00:58:11Excuse me.
00:58:12What are you doing in here?
00:58:14Um...
00:58:15And who are you?
00:58:17Oh, um, uh...
00:58:20Um, I, I, um...
00:58:22You look lost.
00:58:25I am, darling.
00:58:27I am lost.
00:58:28I've been to a lot of places.
00:58:30I am lost.
00:58:31I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:58:36Grandfather.
00:58:37Yes?
00:58:38This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:58:42Oh, yes, yes.
00:58:44From the front page of the, the Times.
00:58:46Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:58:48I hope it was all good things.
00:58:50Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now, since his father passed.
00:58:57And I trust that Blaine is treating you respectfully, like a lady?
00:59:03He is.
00:59:05Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.
00:59:08If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.
00:59:13Right.
00:59:15Good thing.
00:59:17Shall we return to the party?
00:59:19Yes, we shall.
00:59:21Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
00:59:24You too, sir.
00:59:45You seem quiet.
00:59:47Is everything all right?
00:59:48Everything's fine.
00:59:50Hey, Valentina.
00:59:51I have a girl question for you.
00:59:57Oh, my God, for the love of God.
00:59:59I wish on Hannah.
01:00:00Just ask her to dance.
01:00:02You just met me, you can already tell?
01:00:04Yes.
01:00:06You read me like a book.
01:00:08I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:00:10You're really inquisitive.
01:00:11In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:00:14Would you?
01:00:15That would be great.
01:00:18Dude.
01:00:22Hannah, I need a favor.
01:00:24Anything.
01:00:25When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
01:00:28If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
01:00:31And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.
01:00:35Got it.
01:00:38Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:00:40Really?
01:00:42Sorry.
01:00:43When?
01:00:44Tonight.
01:00:45Oh, right, it's a ball.
01:00:47Yeah.
01:00:56Thanks.
01:01:07It's time, brother.
01:01:08You ready?
01:01:09As ready as I'll ever be.
01:01:15I mean, tonight.
01:01:17It means a lot.
01:01:18Of course.
01:01:20You're going to be amazing.
01:01:26Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.
01:01:31It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend,
01:01:35your CEO of Ellington Incorporated, Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:01:46Good evening, everyone.
01:01:48I want to, before we get started,
01:01:52thank two people who, without their help, none of this would have happened tonight.
01:01:57My assistant, Ariel, and my girlfriend, Valentina.
01:02:05Not sure where they are right now, but I want to thank them for having my back.
01:02:15Hi, Anna.
01:02:17Oh, hi.
01:02:18You haven't seen Valentina around, have you?
01:02:21I wanted to try to find her so she can watch Blaine's speech.
01:02:24Valentina is sick, and Ariel was helping her get medicine.
01:02:29Oh, okay.
01:02:33You look really pretty, by the way.
01:02:37Thanks.
01:02:39You look really pretty, too.
01:03:03All right, time to find this code.
01:03:19Blaine mentioned something I said?
01:03:23I see.
01:03:27Paintings.
01:03:41So, tonight, I'm pledging $10 million to Ellington.
01:03:47I'm pledging $10 million to help research cures for illness disorders unknown.
01:03:53Thank you all for coming.
01:03:55I hope to see you on the dance floor.
01:04:17I'm sorry, Mom. I failed you.
01:04:48I'll give you a hint.
01:04:50If you were to look for it, you'd be at the most beautiful thing in the world.
01:04:57He wasn't talking about the painting.
01:05:01He was talking about me.
01:05:17Oh, my God.
01:05:48Okay.
01:05:54Okay.
01:05:58Think, Ariel.
01:06:11What could the numbers be?
01:06:13It'd be our first date, couldn't it?
01:06:18No.
01:06:42I've got the code.
01:06:44Excellent, darling.
01:06:46It's after the ball.
01:06:48Or you could give it to me now.
01:06:52Flora?
01:06:57What are you doing here?
01:06:59I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be.
01:07:02Just like you, apparently.
01:07:06The code, darling.
01:07:12The future.
01:07:14The palm of my hand.
01:07:17I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:07:20Blaine's a good man.
01:07:22You're awful.
01:07:23He's rich, darling. He'll get over it.
01:07:26My mom? And her surgery?
01:07:29I've been accused of many things.
01:07:32But I always keep my word.
01:07:35Now, go and celebrate. You deserve it, darling.
01:07:44Go.
01:08:05Valencina.
01:08:06Hi, darling.
01:08:07There you are.
01:08:09How are you feeling?
01:08:10Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:08:13Excellent. Care to dance?
01:08:15Certainly.
01:08:19Well, well, well, well.
01:08:24Look at the happy couple.
01:08:31How did you get in?
01:08:32Oh, I have my ways.
01:08:33We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:08:37Anyway...
01:08:40I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:08:45You need to leave.
01:08:46Actually, I don't think I do.
01:08:48Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:08:52She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:08:53No, no, no.
01:08:55There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:08:59What?
01:09:00If only your little assistant had assisted you in researching her.
01:09:05You know, it's funny.
01:09:06I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:09:10Blaine, don't listen to him.
01:09:12What is he talking about?
01:09:14Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here.
01:09:19But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:09:24Hi.
01:09:34Ariel?
01:09:48This whole time you've been Valentina?
01:09:51That's right.
01:09:52This whole time you pretended to care about me.
01:09:56But you're just a liar.
01:09:58And worse.
01:10:00She's poor.
01:10:02Why?
01:10:03Yes, Ariel.
01:10:05But why?
01:10:07I'm so sorry.
01:10:09Ariel.
01:10:10Ariel, wait.
01:10:12How embarrassing.
01:10:16You know, I looked into you.
01:10:20You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here.
01:10:25How preposterous.
01:10:27If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:10:30Ew.
01:10:32You're poor?
01:10:35Regina!
01:10:41You're my hero.
01:10:43Thanks.
01:10:44Sometimes I just gotta tell her.
01:10:46You know.
01:10:50Ariel!
01:11:00What are you smiling about?
01:11:02I mean, come on.
01:11:03Is it right?
01:11:04He's a joke.
01:11:06No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:11:09He's a liability, Richard.
01:11:11And you are giving him the company with the luxury of not having to deal with this show because you won't be alive much longer.
01:11:17Oh, well, don't bet on that.
01:11:19You know, you've got a lot of nerve talking to me like this, kid.
01:11:24You've got a lot of nerve letting this ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:11:29I should be running this company.
01:11:32Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:11:39Look, I'm not poor.
01:11:41What is that?
01:11:42I do not want to hear it.
01:11:44You lied to me.
01:11:45Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me.
01:11:47No, I didn't.
01:11:48That is fair.
01:11:54Regina!
01:12:15That was a disaster.
01:12:22I just don't understand.
01:12:24Why would she go through all of that?
01:12:26I don't know.
01:12:28But these scandals are exhausting.
01:12:32Yeah.
01:12:33I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:12:39Right.
01:12:41I got a lot to think about.
01:12:44What do you mean?
01:12:46I mean we may have to take the company in a complete different direction if we're going to gain back the public's trust.
01:12:53You can't be serious.
01:12:55No?
01:12:59Something better happen sooner.
01:13:01I guess much worse.
01:13:04Did she want anything from you?
01:13:07I don't know, Martina.
01:13:09Nothing valuable?
01:13:10Martina, I said I don't...
01:13:34No!
01:13:39No!
01:13:44Ariel?
01:13:45Baby?
01:13:48You look like you had a rough night.
01:13:51It was a disaster, really.
01:13:53I feel awful.
01:13:55Oh.
01:13:56I'm so sorry to hear that, baby.
01:13:59Thanks, Mom.
01:14:01Well, I have something to tell you.
01:14:04Dr. Westfall calls.
01:14:06Are you okay?
01:14:07What's going on?
01:14:08He said that an anonymous donor sent in the funds for me to have my operation.
01:14:14What?
01:14:15I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.
01:14:18My God.
01:14:19Oh!
01:14:22I'm so happy.
01:14:25I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake.
01:14:28I agree.
01:15:01It's time to celebrate.
01:15:03Thanks.
01:15:06To the future, darling.
01:15:14Drink.
01:15:15You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:15:21There it is.
01:15:23Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:15:26People walk in and out of my office having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:15:33Of course, I won't be able to enjoy it much longer since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:15:38I guess I just feel bad.
01:15:41To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:15:45Break the rules a little.
01:15:49I guess.
01:15:50Ask any CEO and they'll agree, including your little boy toy.
01:15:56Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:15:59Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:16:05What?
01:16:07All I need is your wiring info and I can send it on over.
01:16:10I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed?
01:16:15I'm sorry, you haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:16:19No, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:16:25Darling.
01:16:29Hey.
01:16:51All right, one more drink and we'll start packing up my things.
01:16:56Deal, one more.
01:17:00Anna.
01:17:01Arlington, may I come in?
01:17:02Sure, come on in.
01:17:05Hi, cutie.
01:17:09Care for a drink?
01:17:10Oh, no, I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:17:13Wait, what was that?
01:17:14Mr. Arlington, I have a delivery for you.
01:17:17From who?
01:17:18Ariel.
01:17:24From who?
01:17:25Ariel.
01:17:26From who?
01:17:27Ariel.
01:17:29I don't want it. Take it back.
01:17:31She said you might say that, but she said that it was very, very important.
01:17:36Important?
01:17:38I 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.
01:17:57Oh, my God.
01:17:59Oh, my God.
01:18:00Ew, what's happening?
01:18:02What's going on? What does this mean?
01:18:23Oh, Flora.
01:18:24Yes, darling.
01:18:25Your appointment had to leave early.
01:18:27I asked if they wanted her scheduled, but they said no.
01:18:30I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:18:33What was the name?
01:18:36Valentina Kingsley.
01:18:55You're rich. You'll get over it, darling.
01:19:13God, what does this mean?
01:19:16God, what does this mean?
01:19:22Thank you for everything.
01:19:29Hannah, did you want to help me with that thing?
01:19:33Yes, let's do that.
01:19:40Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:19:46Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this, but it's time.
01:20:03It's time.
01:20:09To celebrate.
01:20:16You are going to regret this. I promise you that.
01:20:23Jeez, what did you do?
01:20:25I don't know, girl, but the way she wears that dress, she can step on me any day.
01:20:33I knew you could do it. I knew it.
01:20:36You know, your dad would be so proud of you.
01:20:52Dr. Westfall.
01:20:53Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:20:54Is surgery over? How did it go?
01:20:56Yes, we just finished. There were complications.
01:20:59Complications?
01:21:00But we were able to work through them, and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:21:05Really?
01:21:06Really, yes. In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:21:09She's going to need to rest for a few hours,
01:21:12but I accept she's going to feel better than she has in a long time.
01:21:15I can't thank you enough.
01:21:17I'm happy to help.
01:21:58Come in, come in.
01:22:01Welcome.
01:22:06Ariel.
01:22:08Mom, why didn't you let me out of bed?
01:22:10The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:22:12I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window, and I got com-
01:22:17Good.
01:22:19Are you hungry? Thirsty?
01:22:21No, thank you, but thank you.
01:22:23Oh, thank you. Sit down. Make yourself comfortable.
01:22:26Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:22:30Oh, of course. I'll just be right over here. Don't mind me.
01:22:45I'm so sorry.
01:22:47I, uh, I understand why you did it.
01:22:52And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:22:56Thank you for everything. I don't even know where to start.
01:23:04I'm not looking for an apology.
01:23:07You're not?
01:23:08No.
01:23:10See, I'm still CEO, and I need an assistant.
01:23:14And you're kind of the best in town.
01:23:19I accept.
01:23:21And, uh, looking for a girlfriend?
01:23:28Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:23:41I love you, Valentina. I mean, Ariel.
01:23:46It takes some getting used to.
01:23:50There aren't any starry rooftop views here, but this is my specials.
01:23:57It's even better.
