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.
00:08:15Listen 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?
00:08:29Yeah, you were meant to be some CEO.
00:08:32I'm not.
00:08:33I'm not.
00:08:34I'm not.
00:08:35I'm not.
00:08:36I'm not.
00:08:37I'm not.
00:08:38I'm not.
00:08:39I'm not.
00:08:40Yeah, you were meant to be some CEO.
00:08:43No, but Blaine, Blaine will learn in time.
00:08:47Whatever.
00:08:49Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:08:52I have actual work to attend to.
00:08:58Yeah, yeah.
00:08:59Thanks.
00:09:06Hello?
00:09:07How'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 and 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, it'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.
00:09:41I can't stop thinking about this girl from last night.
00:09:44I think she's the one.
00:09:45It's about time we broke up.
00:09:46What's he doing here?
00:09:47Speaking of girls, I think I know who Rick has your new assistant.
00:09:52Sorry.
00:09:53I'm fine.
00:09:56Ariel.
00:09:57What's my name?
00:09:58You dropped your badge.
00:10:07There you go.
00:10:08There you go.
00:10:10Thanks.
00:10:17She's amazing.
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.
00:10:35Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:10:37Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:10:39Are you going to apply?
00:10:40I'm good where I am, but all the girls are applying.
00:10:43Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:10:45I'm the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:10:47I think this position is yours.
00:10:58He's gorgeous.
00:11:00I 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.
00:11:34All 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, confident 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 email.
00:12:17Ariel wants to meet you again.
00:12:19Really?
00:12:21Also, I got you a second number.
00:12:23Just click the link to connect it,
00:12:25so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:12:28Great.
00:12:31Hmm, 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 if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:12:54Okay, I understand.
00:12:56I'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.
00:13:25Here.
00:13:27Sit down.
00:13:31Here.
00:13:38The doctor called.
00:13:40He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:41Hush, hush, hush.
00:13:43None of that talk, okay?
00:13:45Mom.
00:13:47Eat before your food gets cold.
00:13:50Here.
00:13:56Okay.
00:14:04It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:06Are you ready?
00:14:08Yeah.
00:14:12Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:14I'll make it to go.
00:14:20Okay.
00:14:32Oh, where am I?
00:14:38Valentina!
00:14:40Blaine!
00:14:42Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:14:44Do you intend to have me killed?
00:14:46No, not at all.
00:14:49Follow me.
00:15:01Hi, Laura.
00:15:03We're almost there. Come on.
00:15:19Wow.
00:15:30Did 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.
00:15:46I was thrown into the CEO position,
00:15:48and I'm a bit in over my head,
00:15:52so I never really get a chance to myself,
00:15:54except when I come here.
00:15:59I'm so sorry.
00:16:06My 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.
00:16:47Hey, who's out here?
00:16:52What's happening?
00:16:54Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:16:56What?
00:16:57Run.
00:17:05Hey!
00:17:08Yo.
00:17:10Hey.
00:17:16What 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.
00:17:38I'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.
00:18:17Wow.
00:18:18What'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.
00:18:36Is this a bad time?
00:18:37No, not at all.
00:18:38My sister just came to visit.
00:18:40Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:18:43Martina, nice to meet you.
00:18:45Likewise.
00:18:46Glad to see my brother has someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:18:50Don't you worry.
00:18:51I 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.
00:19:00I've got the codes right here on this drive, and I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:23Glad to hear you're doing that.
00:19:24I have wasted enough time.
00:19:27Now you know exactly where it is.
00:19:29Get it?
00:19:39All right, where's that drive?
00:19:47Are you kidding? There's nothing in here.
00:19:56What?
00:20:04They're coming in.
00:20:05Crap.
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.
00:20:15No, no, no.
00:20:22Oh, yeah.
00:20:27Sarah, cheers.
00:20:28Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:33Right.
00:20:34Right.
00:20:35After then.
00:20:36Yeah.
00:20:44Phew, that was close.
00:20:51Hey, girlfriend.
00:20:52Can I ask you for advice on something?
00:20:54Sure.
00:20:55What's going on?
00:20:56So, I have this friend who is having boy problems.
00:21:00Aren't we all?
00:21:01So, she has a crush on her boss, and she doesn't know what to do about it because of the whole workplace relationship thing.
00:21:07How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:21:09Wait, I don't like Blaine.
00:21:11But he deserves to know, though, right?
00:21:13You're gonna tell him?
00:21:14I mean, I don't know.
00:21:15Because 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.
00:21:22Wait, you like Kurt?
00:21:24I gotta go.
00:21:25What?
00:21:26Ring, ring.
00:21:27Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:21:30Ring, ring.
00:21:31Ring, ring.
00:21:32Ring, ring.
00:21:34Ring, ring.
00:21:36Ariel.
00:21:38Yes, Mr. Allington?
00:21:39I need your personal help.
00:21:41Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:21:44I've never got...
00:21:46Wow, really?
00:21:48Um, I mean, yeah.
00:21:50First girlfriend, first gift.
00:21:52Checks out.
00:21:54So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:14Oh my God, I'm gonna be wearing that?
00:22:17Sorry?
00:22:18Uh, your girlfriend's gonna be wearing that?
00:22:21Yeah.
00:22:22It's pretty nice, right?
00:22:24Well, I mean, it's option one.
00:22:27Do you think she'll like it?
00:22:29Um, well, what's your girlfriend like?
00:22:33What are her tastes?
00:22:36Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous.
00:22:41Generous, gorgeous.
00:22:43Generous, 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.
00:22:57Option two.
00:23:02And that's even more revealing than the first one.
00:23:04Yeah.
00:23:06This is big in Europe.
00:23:07Between you and me, I'm rooting for this guy.
00:23:09I see.
00:23:10Do 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.
00:23:33Aha!
00:23:37What do you think?
00:23:40I think she'd really like that.
00:23:48Can I have a margarita?
00:23:51You 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.
00:24:13But until then, we're in this together.
00:24:16Yes?
00:24:18Yeah.
00:24:20Excellent.
00:24:22Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:24Make 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?
00:24:35Your ignorance is both cute and annoying.
00:24:39No.
00:24:41A man like Blaine Ellington is going to become vulnerable.
00:24:46Drinking with him.
00:24:48And going to bed with him.
00:24:50Right.
00:24:52I can do that.
00:24:55I hope so, because he's coming this way.
00:24:59Get the code soon, honey.
00:25:04For your mother.
00:25:06Okay.
00:25:09Oh, and darling, have fun.
00:25:17Valentina.
00:25:20How are you?
00:25:22Wonderful, love.
00:25:24I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:25:26Is that so?
00:25:28Indeed.
00:25:30I was so distracted, it affected my croquet score.
00:25:32Oh 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?
00:25:41Everything.
00:25:43Well, I don't know about everything.
00:25:45It might take some time for me to open up.
00:25:48Well, maybe after a few drinks?
00:25:51Only if you can keep up.
00:25:53See, I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking.
00:25:57Oh no.
00:25:59Start talking until after a lot of drinking.
00:26:02Well, here goes nothing.
00:26:04Here goes nothing.
00:26:25You know, my sister was implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is because I forget stuff.
00:26:32And...
00:26:34Are you forgetful?
00:26:37I mean, yeah.
00:26:39Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:26:43What? Really?
00:26:45Yeah. It cost me $10,000 just to get them rekeyed.
00:26:49Which is why I should probably tell someone in case I do forget.
00:26:55I do forget.
00:26:57So, maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome and trustworthy?
00:27:03Well, if you'd like, go ahead.
00:27:05I'll tell you first.
00:27:12I'm going to hit the men's room.
00:27:18This is it. All I need to do is ask him where the code is and my mission is over.
00:27:22Nothing can stop me now.
00:27:25Ariel?
00:27:27Except my ex-boyfriend.
00:27:31I don't know what you're talking about, darling. I don't know this Ariel.
00:27:37No, no, no, no, no. You are definitely Ariel.
00:27:41But what are you doing in a place like this? You're poor.
00:27:46Fine. Please leave, Max.
00:27:48Just leave, Max?
00:27:50It's Maximilian now. Because I'm Max and I make millions.
00:27:54Whatever. Please. I'm begging you.
00:27:57Look at you. You look so much better. You look... what's that word? Rich?
00:28:05Please.
00:28:07I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately, but I've become very rich.
00:28:11Yes. You've sent me 50 messages about it. 50 messages about it. I had to block your number.
00:28:15Oh. Yeah, that's right.
00:28:18Please. I'll do whatever you want, okay? I just...
00:28:21How 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 at that Mexican restaurant and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:28:40How embarrassing.
00:28:42Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:43Yes, he does.
00:28:45A situationship at best.
00:28:47Let go, Max.
00:28:49Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher. Get off her!
00:28:56Blaine Ellington?
00:28:58Max Fletcher.
00:29:00Maximilian? What are you doing with that peasant?
00:29:03That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
00:29:05Blaine Ellington. Getting my sloppy seconds.
00:29:14Come here. Come here.
00:29:22This isn't over.
00:29:27Come on, Regina.
00:29:32Just stay away from my man, skank.
00:29:35He's actually trying to.
00:29:39Are 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?
00:30:07Not 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, no, no. 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, even 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?
00:30:59Uneasy 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.
00:31:27How do you mean?
00:31:29Bring her completely into your life.
00:31:32Let her know everything about you.
00:31:35I'm trying to. Just last night, we were sharing everything with each other.
00:31:40Okay, share more.
00:31:42Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:31:45I will.
00:31:47I'm going to get close to this woman.
00:31:49You'll see.
00:31:51And you will be like two lovely berries.
00:31:54And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one.
00:31:59Shakespeare?
00:32:01Yeah.
00:32:03Ow.
00:32:13Martina, how are you?
00:32:15How am I?
00:32:17Yeah, how are you?
00:32:19I am annoyed. Time is-
00:32:21Understand?
00:32:22We chose you because we thought you could get the job done.
00:32:25But now I'm not so sure.
00:32:28Wait.
00:32:30Oh my god, do you have feelings for him?
00:32:33What? No.
00:32:35I hope not. Because you have four days to get that code.
00:32:38Or you can say bye to mommy.
00:32:41Other than that-
00:32:43I am fine. Thanks for asking.
00:32:53Happy hump day, bestie!
00:32:56It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:32:58Oh, right.
00:33:00Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:33:02Better.
00:33:04And-
00:33:05Worse.
00:33:07That sounds super complicated.
00:33:09You have no idea.
00:33:11Can you come in here?
00:33:13Can you come in here?
00:33:15I'll be right there.
00:33:17Good thing you've got work to distract you.
00:33:19Good thing.
00:33:23Oh, you have the file for the China branch?
00:33:26Yeah.
00:33:35Long night?
00:33:38You know what?
00:33:40Let's forget about the file.
00:33:53Let's just close our eyes for, um, ten minutes.
00:34:06That's an order.
00:34:08Okay.
00:34:16This is nice.
00:34:18Yeah.
00:34:19This should be, like, an everyday thing.
00:34:23Mm-hmm.
00:34:26Good morning! Another beautiful day in Ellington.
00:34:29Let's get it! Woo!
00:34:31Oh, Hannah!
00:34:36Well, I guess that's over.
00:34:41Well, everything should be there.
00:34:45I can't even concentrate on work.
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...
00:34:57Oh, my.
00:34:59That's, uh, quite a scene.
00:35:01Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:35:03I can imagine.
00:35:05Yeah, I just...
00:35:07I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.
00:35:12You should just talk to her.
00:35:14And be honest.
00:35:15Yeah.
00:35:17I'm gonna call her.
00:35:19What?
00:35:21Yeah, can you be in the room when I do it?
00:35:24Uh, you want me in the room?
00:35:27Yeah, maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.
00:35:31Tell me if she's upset.
00:35:34Uh...
00:35:36I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:35:38Makes me so nervous.
00:35:40I'm sure you make her nervous, too.
00:35:42Shit, shit, shit!
00:35:43Ew.
00:35:45Shit, shit, shit!
00:35:48Uh-oh!
00:35:50Think, Ariel, think!
00:35:52Uh, I'm gonna be sick.
00:35:54Bathroom!
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.
00:36:24Well, I'm glad to hear you're feeling alright.
00:36:27Uh, I was worried.
00:36:31No need, darling.
00:36:33I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:36:36I wanted to know if I'd get to see you again.
00:36:41You will.
00:36:43Very soon.
00:36:50Sorry.
00:36:52Can I help you?
00:36:54I couldn't hear you.
00:36:56It kind of sounded like...
00:36:58Sorry, Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.
00:37:02Must be going.
00:37:03Okay, uh, sure.
00:37:05See you.
00:37:07Ta-ta!
00:37:13Community theater.
00:37:16Character.
00:37:18I'm rehearsing.
00:37:20Murder mystery.
00:37:23I'll, uh, send you the dates.
00:37:26I'm not in the theater.
00:37:29That's fair.
00:37:33Mom!
00:37:44Mom, I'm home!
00:37:46Hi honey, how was your day?
00:37:50It was... not boring.
00:37:53How was yours?
00:37:55It was wonderful.
00:37:57I did laundry, watched some...
00:37:58Um, what are you cooking?
00:38:00I told you I was gonna cook tonight.
00:38:02Well, you weren't home yet,
00:38:04and I wanted to go ahead and get started
00:38:06so your co-worker could have some too.
00:38:08My co-worker?
00:38:10Hello, darling.
00:38:18Flora!
00:38:20What are you doing here?
00:38:22I was going to call you about a few questions,
00:38:24but I was, uh,
00:38:25in 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.
00:38:35I guess it slipped my mind.
00:38:38Well, you two don't mind me.
00:38:40Go ahead and have your work talk.
00:38:42Dinner will be ready soon.
00:38:44What are you doing here?
00:38:46Checking in to see what progress was made last night.
00:38:49I, um...
00:38:51I got close to finding out where he hid the drive,
00:38:54but I...
00:38:56But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:38:58I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:39:01Well, it sounds like a good idea,
00:39:03but I don't think it's a good idea.
00:39:05I don't think it's a good idea.
00:39:07I don't think it's a good idea.
00:39:09I don't think it's a good idea.
00:39:10I'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.
00:39:41Tick-tock.
00:39:54All right. I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal.
00:39:59Any ideas?
00:40:01Inner rehab.
00:40:03Too tacky.
00:40:05Go volunteer in a third world country?
00:40:08Too obvious.
00:40:10Record an apology video for social media and post it there.
00:40:14Too cringe.
00:40:18Adopt 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.
00:40:40Really? 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.
00:40:57Ariel, you'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.
00:41:05Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend Valentina, and you.
00:41:11Good job.
00:41:16Let's see how it looks. Come out.
00:41:21It fits perfectly, darling.
00:41:25Wow.
00:41:27Stunning.
00:41:31Next, I'll have to get your dress.
00:41:33A dress?
00:41:35What'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.
00:41:57Ah, yes.
00:41:58We got interrupted. You were going to tell me something important.
00:42:03What were you going to say?
00:42:06It's not really that necessary.
00:42:10You don't trust me?
00:42:12I do. This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO, and I just want it to go well.
00:42:19But I thought I was special.
00:42:22You are. I just...
00:42:24You are. I just...
00:42:26Well, you know, if you don't trust me...
00:42:29Wait.
00:42:34So you do trust me?
00:42:36Mm-hmm.
00:42:44So Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?
00:42:50Mm-hmm.
00:42:52And where is it?
00:42:54It's here. In the mansion.
00:43:00It's here?
00:43:07Mm-hmm.
00:43:15Where in the mansion?
00:43:17It's...
00:43:18It's...
00:43:23Yeah.
00:43:25Now?
00:43:29Okay. 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?
00:43:48Now.
00:43:50I'm sorry. Pick 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.
00:44:19Did you get it?
00:44:21The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:44:24Excellent, darling. Excellent.
00:44:34I'm sorry.
00:44:36I'm sorry.
00:44:38I'm sorry.
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:42I'm sorry.
00:44:44I'm sorry.
00:44:45I'm sorry.
00:45:03Max? What are you doing here?
00:45:05What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:45:07Or should I say...
00:45:09Valentina Kingsley?
00:45:11You wouldn't understand.
00:45:12You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:45:17No, I'm not. I...
00:45:19You know, I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.
00:45:25It's only the right thing to do.
00:45:28Please don't. You don't know what I'm doing.
00:45:31Oh, you'll lose your job?
00:45:33Your reputation?
00:45:35Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:45:39What do you want, Max?
00:45:40I just want...
00:45:42an arrangement.
00:45:44I'd rather not.
00:45:46Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:45:51Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:45:53Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.
00:45:56I want to destroy you.
00:45:59You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.
00:46:04If by tomorrow, I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town...
00:46:12I'll do it for you.
00:46:27You seem extra happy today.
00:46:29I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole other level last night.
00:46:34That's awesome, man. I'm so happy for you.
00:46:37Hi, Mr. Lington. Hi, Kurt.
00:46:39Hi, Anna.
00:46:41Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:46:44Kurt?
00:46:46Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:46:52You alright?
00:46:54Yeah, I'm alright.
00:46:55I actually had an idea about the charity ball.
00:46:59Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:47:04I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:07Where?
00:47:09I was thinking your house.
00:47:16I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:47:21Well, if we hosted ourselves, it would be great.
00:47:23Thanks.
00:47:25Well, if we hosted ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:47:30And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:47:33That makes sense.
00:47:35Okay, let's do it.
00:47:38Great. I'll send out the invitations.
00:47:43She really knows this company inside and out.
00:47:46What do you know about Ariel?
00:47:54Here you go, Mom.
00:47:56I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:47:59I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:01That's okay. We can watch it next weekend.
00:48:04Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:48:08Mom, you are my friend.
00:48:11People your age, who you can be out dancing with.
00:48:15Flirting.
00:48:17I'm not flirting.
00:48:18People your age, who you can be out dancing with.
00:48:23Flirting with boys.
00:48:26I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:48:29What? 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.
00:48:38Hey.
00:48:46Sweetie, I'm fine. I just need some rest.
00:49:09And then after your speech, night away.
00:49:12I'm dreading giving this speech.
00:49:15I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:49:19I always thought that was a little pervy, but...
00:49:23I promise, you're going to be amazing.
00:49:27Thank you so much for helping with this.
00:49:31This whole idea of genius.
00:49:33I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:49:36I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:49:39Well, I should get going.
00:49:42Wait, um, I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:49:47Make sure the dress fits.
00:49:49I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:49:52Alright. Good night.
00:50:05Hello, darling.
00:50:06I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:50:09It's perfect.
00:50:11I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:50:14I can't wait either, darling.
00:50:16Good night.
00:50:37Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:50:40Thanks, Kurt.
00:50:42You're looking sharp.
00:50:44Oh, yeah. Well, got a dress to impress, you know.
00:50:47Are you trying to impress me?
00:50:49Nah.
00:50:51Listen, Random.
00:50:53Does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:50:56I don't think so.
00:50:59Do you like her?
00:51:01No. No. No. No.
00:51:03No. 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.
00:51:19Yeah. Uh, 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.
00:51:31Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:51:34No. No. No. No. No.
00:51:36No, I'm just 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 help Blaine practice his speech.
00:51:57So I'm going to do that right now.
00:51:59I will see you later.
00:52:01All right. See ya.
00:52:04And you must be Ariel.
00:52:09Yes. Hi.
00:52:12Hmm. You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:52:16He has?
00:52:18Oh, yes. Yes.
00:52:20In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:52:24I suppose so.
00:52:26Wonderful.
00:52:27Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done
00:52:32if 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.
00:52:40Martina!
00:52:42Have 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?
00:53:04I think so. You, Ariel?
00:53:06Uh, uh-huh.
00:53:08Amazing.
00:53:10Well, I can't wait.
00:53:15Me either.
00:53:53Ariel!
00:53:55Blaine.
00:53:57There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:53:59Here I am.
00:54:01Have you seen Valentina?
00:54:03No, I don't think so.
00:54:05About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:54:09Um, no. No, I don't think so.
00:54:12In fact...
00:54:14What?
00:54:16Nothing. It's ridiculous.
00:54:17I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me, that would be great.
00:54:22I'll get right on that.
00:54:24Thank you. Bye.
00:54:33Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.
00:54:37Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:54:39Okay.
00:54:41You can do this.
00:54:44Oh!
00:54:46Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:54:50Uh, hey, love. I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:54:55Yeah, okay. Ariel.
00:54:59No, seriously. My name is Valentina Kingsley and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:55:05Oh, I get it. It's like one of those improv or something.
00:55:09No, no, no. No game. My name is Valentina...
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?
00:55:29Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:55:33Okay. Can I ask why?
00:55:36Well, it's really complicated.
00:55:39But you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:55:43Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:55:45Yeah, sure.
00:55:47Aw, well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:55:54Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna need it.
00:56:16Ah, there you are, darling.
00:56:19Valentina. I'm so glad to see you.
00:56:22Look at this place. I 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. You'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.
00:56:38You make me feel so confident. I need to be looking at you.
00:56:46Of course.
00:56:48Okay, perfect.
00:56:50Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside. I must go speak with her.
00:56:54Valentina, I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:57:03Yes, I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:57:07Great.
00:57:09Where would this be taking place? In the study or...?
00:57:12Upstairs. Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:57:16Ah, I see.
00:57:19You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:57:25What the heck did I say?
00:57:28I'll give you a hint. If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:57:35I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:57:38I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:57:41Good luck, darling.
00:57:44Hey.
00:58:06Excuse me. What are you doing in here?
00:58:08Um...
00:58:09And who are you?
00:58:11Oh, um, uh...
00:58:14Um, I... I, um...
00:58:17You look lost.
00:58:20I am, darling. I am lost.
00:58:24I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:58:29Grandfather.
00:58:30Yes?
00:58:31This is me.
00:58:33And this is me.
00:58:35And this is me.
00:58:36Grandfather.
00:58:37Yes?
00:58:38This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:58:43Oh, yes, yes. From the front page of the Times. Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:58:49I 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. Good thing.
00:59:16Shall we return to the party?
00:59:19Yes, we shall.
00:59:21Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
00:59:23You too, sir.
00:59:45You seem quiet. Is everything all right?
00:59:48Everything's fine.
00:59:50Hey, Valentina, I have a girl question for you.
00:59:57Oh, my God. For the love of God.
01:00:00Just ask her to dance.
01:00:01You just met me, you can already tell?
01:00:03Yes.
01:00:05You read me like a book.
01:00:07I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:00:09You're really inquisitive.
01:00:11In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:00:14Would you? That would be great.
01:00:17Dude.
01:00:21Hannah, I need a favor.
01:00:24Anything.
01:00:26When 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.
01:00:37Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:00:40Really?
01:00:42Sorry.
01:00:44When?
01:00:46Tonight.
01:00:48Oh, right. It's a ball.
01:00:57Yeah.
01:01:07It's time, brother. You ready?
01:01:09As ready as I'll ever be.
01:01:14Thank you. I mean, tonight.
01:01:17It means a lot.
01:01:19Of course.
01:01:21You're going to be amazing.
01:01:28Ladies and gentlemen,
01:01:30I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.
01:01:33It is my great honor and privilege
01:01:36to introduce my good friend,
01:01:38your CEO of Ellington Incorporated,
01:01:41Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:01:48Good evening, everyone.
01:01:50I want to, before we get started,
01:01:53thank two people who, without their help,
01:01:55none of this would have happened tonight.
01:01:58My assistant, Ariel, and my girlfriend, Valentina.
01:02:05Not sure where they are right now, but
01:02:08I want to thank them for having my back.
01:02:15Hi, Anna.
01:02:17Oh, hi.
01:02:19You haven't seen Valentina around, have you?
01:02:22I wanted to try to find her so she could watch Blaine's speech.
01:02:25Valentina is sick,
01:02:27and Ariel was helping her get medicine.
01:02:30Oh, okay.
01:02:34You look really pretty, by the way.
01:02:38Thanks.
01:02:40You look really pretty, too.
01:02:56Okay.
01:03:03All right, time to find this code.
01:03:05Come on.
01:03:23Blaine mentioned something I said?
01:03:26I see.
01:03:30Paintings.
01:03:36Paintings.
01:03:44So, tonight, I'm pledging ten million dollars
01:03:49to 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.
01:04:06Bye.
01:04:17I'm sorry, Mom.
01:04:19I failed you.
01:04:36Bye.
01:04:50I'll give you a hint.
01:04:52If you were to look for it,
01:04:54you'd be at the most beautiful thing in the world.
01:04:59He wasn't talking about the painting.
01:05:01He was talking about me.
01:05:31Okay.
01:05:54Okay.
01:05:58Think, Ariel.
01:06:01Think.
01:06:12What could the numbers be?
01:06:14It'd be our first date, couldn't it?
01:06:31No.
01:06:42I've got the code.
01:06:44Excellent, darling.
01:06:46I'll give it to you 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.
01:07:05The code, darling.
01:07:11The future
01:07:14in the palm of my hand.
01:07:17I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:07:20Lane's a good man.
01:07:22You're awful.
01:07:23He's rich, darling. He'll get over it.
01:07:25My mom?
01:07:27And her surgery?
01:07:29I've been accused of many things.
01:07:31But I always keep my word.
01:07:34Now, go and celebrate. You deserve it, darling.
01:07:54Valentina.
01:07:55Hi, darling.
01:07:56There you are.
01:07:58How are you feeling?
01:08:00Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:08:03Excellent.
01:08:04Care to dance?
01:08:06Certainly.
01:08:09Well, well.
01:08:11Well.
01:08:12Well.
01:08:15Well, well.
01:08:17Well, well.
01:08:19Well, well.
01:08:21Well, well.
01:08:22Well.
01:08:24Look at the happy couple.
01:08:31How did you get-
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
01:08:43on 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
01:09:04in researching her.
01:09:05You know, it's funny.
01:09:06I haven't actually seen her
01:09:09all night.
01:09:11Blaine, don't listen to him.
01:09:12What is he talking about?
01:09:15Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here.
01:09:20But an ex-boyfriend?
01:09:21Never forgets a butt.
01:09:34Ariel?
01:09:48This whole time you've been Valentina?
01:09:51That's right.
01:09:53This whole time
01:09:54you pretended to care about me.
01:09:57But you're just a liar.
01:09:59And worse.
01:10:01She's poor.
01:10:03Why?
01:10:04Yes, Ariel.
01:10:06But why?
01:10:08I'm so sorry.
01:10:10Ariel.
01:10:11Ariel, wait.
01:10:13How embarrassing.
01:10:17You know,
01:10:18I looked into you.
01:10:20You're in so much debt
01:10:21that it's surprising
01:10:22that you can even rent
01:10:23the Lambo that you drove here.
01:10:25How preposterous.
01:10:27If anybody looks into that
01:10:28it will be a complete waste of time.
01:10:31Ew.
01:10:32You're poor?
01:10:35Regina!
01:10:41You're my hero.
01:10:43Thanks.
01:10:44Sometimes I just
01:10:45gotta 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?
01:11:05He's a joke.
01:11:07No, he is your brother, Martina.
01:11:10He's a liability, Richard.
01:11:12And you are giving him the company
01:11:13with the luxury of not having
01:11:14to deal with this show
01:11:15because 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
01:11:21talking to me like this, kid.
01:11:24You've got a lot of nerve
01:11:25letting this ship go down
01:11:26when the lifeboat
01:11:27is right in front of you.
01:11:29I should be running this company!
01:11:32Or
01:11:33is this what success
01:11:34looks like to you?
01:11:39Look, I'm not poor.
01:11:40I don't want to hear it.
01:11:41What is that?
01:11:42I do not want to hear it.
01:11:43I promise you.
01:11:44You lied to me.
01:11:45Not only did you lie to me
01:11:46you embarrassed me.
01:11:47No, Martina.
01:11:48That is fair.
01:11:54Regina!
01:12:17That was a disaster.
01:12:22I just don't understand.
01:12:24Why would she go through all of that?
01:12:27I don't know.
01:12:29But
01:12:30these scandals are exhausting.
01:12:33Yeah.
01:12:34I don't think I'll be dating
01:12:35anytime soon.
01:12:39Right.
01:12:42I've got a lot to think about.
01:12:45What do you mean?
01:12:47I mean
01:12:48we may have to take the company
01:12:49in a complete different direction
01:12:50if we're going to gain back
01:12:51the public's trust.
01:12:54You can't be serious.
01:12:55No?
01:12:59Something better happen sooner.
01:13:02I guess much worse.
01:13:05Did she want anything from you?
01:13:08I don't know, Martina.
01:13:09Nothing valuable?
01:13:10Martina, I said I don't...
01:13:15Fuck.
01:13:34No!
01:13:44Ariel?
01:13:45Baby?
01:13:47You look like you had a rough night.
01:13:51It was a disaster, really.
01:13:53I feel awful.
01:13:56I'm so sorry to hear that, baby.
01:13:58Thanks, Mom.
01:14:00Well
01:14:01I have something to tell you.
01:14:03Dr. Westfall calls.
01:14:05Are you okay?
01:14:06What's going on?
01:14:08He
01:14:09said
01:14:10that anonymous donor
01:14:11sent in the funds
01:14:12for me to have my operation.
01:14:14What?
01:14:16I'm scheduled for surgery
01:14:17on Tuesday.
01:14:18My God!
01:14:19Oh!
01:14:22I'm so happy.
01:14:25I think this calls
01:14:26for my famous chocolate cake.
01:14:28I agree.
01:14:44I love you.
01:15:02It's time to celebrate.
01:15:07To the future, darling.
01:15:14Drink!
01:15:15You've worked much too hard
01:15:16not to revel in your victory.
01:15:21There it is.
01:15:23Doesn't our little prize
01:15:24look nice?
01:15:26People walk in
01:15:27and out of my office
01:15:29having no idea
01:15:30what's in the room with them.
01:15:33Of course, I won't be able
01:15:34to enjoy it much longer
01:15:35since my programmer
01:15:37is going to pick it up tonight.
01:15:39I guess I just feel bad.
01:15:41To get what you want in life
01:15:42sometimes you have to do
01:15:43bold things.
01:15:45Break the rules a little.
01:15:48I guess.
01:15:50Ask any CEO
01:15:52and they'll agree.
01:15:53Including your little boy toy.
01:15:56Blaine would never do
01:15:57anything like that.
01:15:59Well, anyway,
01:16:00speaking of money,
01:16:02let's get that surgery
01:16:03paid for, shall we?
01:16:05What?
01:16:06All I need is your
01:16:07wiring info
01:16:08and I can send it on over.
01:16:10I trust that the
01:16:11original estimate
01:16:12hasn't changed?
01:16:14I'm sorry.
01:16:15You haven't paid for
01:16:16the surgery yet?
01:16:18No.
01:16:19That's why we're here,
01:16:20isn't it?

01:17:40that it was something
01:17:41so important
01:17:42that she only trusted me
01:17:43to deliver it,
01:17:44so it must be a big deal.

01:20:51Dr. Westfall.
01:20:52Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:20:53Is surgery over?
01:20:54How did it go?
01:20:55Yes, we just finished.
01:20:56Um, there were complications.
01:20:58Complications?
01:20:59Yeah, but we were able
01:21:00to work through them,
01:21:01and your mother's
01:21:02going to be just fine.
01:21:04Really?
01:21:05Yeah, really, yes.
01:21:06In fact, they're wheeling her
01:21:07back into her room right now.
01:21:09She's going to need to rest
01:21:10for a few hours,
01:21:11but when she wakes up,
01:21:12she's going to feel better
01:21:13than she has in a long time.
01:21:15I can't thank you enough.
01:21:16I'm happy to help.

01:22:01Welcome.
01:22:07Ariel!
01:22:09Mom, why didn't you let me out of the bed?
01:22:11The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:22:13I know, I know,
01:22:14but I saw this cute guy through the window
01:22:16and I got comfortable...
01:22:20Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:22:21No, thank you, but thank you.
01:22:22Oh, thank you.
01:22:23Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:22:26Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:22:29Oh, of course.
01:22:33I'll just be right over here.
01:22:34Don'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
01:22:55no need to apologize.
01:22:56Thank you for everything.
01:23:00I 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.
01:23:15And you're kind of the best in town.
01:23:19I accept.
01:23:21And, uh, are you looking for a girlfriend?
01:23:28Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:23:46I love you, Valentina.
01:23:48I mean, Ariel.
01:23:50It takes some getting used to.
01:23:54There aren't any starry rooftop views here,
01:23:57but this is my specials.
01:24:01It's even better.
