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 thing to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody-two-shoe
00:00:21women, but to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind
00:00:27date, that's low. Let's hope this one's different. I don't even know what to say to this guy.
00:00:37I don't know how to talk to rich people. Be sexy? Darling, just act better than everyone
00:00:45else in the room. And being sexy is easy. Bite your lip, push up the girls. It works
00:00:52every time. Wait, what about girls? And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily,
00:00:58so challenge them, be bold, and put them on the spot. I don't think I can do this. The
00:01:04sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your
00:01:09mother's surgery. It's your call.
00:01:40Are you going to stare at me all night, or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:01:45Of course.
00:01:53Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you. You're so...
00:02:00Rich? Sexy?
00:02:04Frankly, yes. Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:10Valentina Kingsley. And you are?
00:02:13Blaine Ellington, CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:18And this is a successful company? It's not ringing any bells.
00:02:24Waiter?
00:02:25Yes, Mr. Ellington.
00:02:26You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:02:30Yes, of course.
00:02:31If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:02:34It's $60,000 per bottle, sir. You want two?
00:02:39Actually, I'm pretty thirsty. Better bring three.
00:02:44Yes, of course. Right away, sir.
00:02:51And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:02:54I invest.
00:02:56In what?
00:02:57In everything. What am I not investing in? Businesses? Charities?
00:03:07I see. And you live in the city?
00:03:11The city. The hills. My yacht. My private island. I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:23You're so impressive. So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:30Doesn't surprise me. I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:38You've got a little...
00:03:52Kurt?
00:03:53Kurt? What's my manager doing here?
00:03:57Blaine!
00:04:00My business dinner just ended. The presentation for the China branch?
00:04:03Looking good. Amazing. You're the best, Kurt.
00:04:05Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two. Just wanted to say hi.
00:04:10Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:11Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:13Ah, classic.
00:04:15Alright, well, you two have fun.
00:04:18Thanks.
00:04:23I've got to be honest with you.
00:04:27You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with. Would you like to come to my place?
00:04:33I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:04:35Absolutely, darling.
00:04:43Whoa.
00:04:46Welcome to my home.
00:04:48After you.
00:05:04Oh, my.
00:05:16You like what you see?
00:05:18You're getting there, darling.
00:05:20Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:24Well then, shall we get started?
00:05:29Um, not so fast.
00:05:32Okay, a little foreplay?
00:05:35I did not think this through at all.
00:05:37How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:05:44Looking for something?
00:05:47Oh, um...
00:05:50Ah.
00:05:52I should have known that was your style.
00:05:55Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:58Ugh, I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:06:01I'm not used to being the one tied up. It's usually the other way around.
00:06:09Valentina?
00:06:11Patience, darling. I'm building the suspense.
00:06:16Ah, I see.
00:06:18Where could it be?
00:06:19Right. And you say guys actually like this?
00:06:23Oh, yes. It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:06:31How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:37That's... that's new.
00:06:39The painting! Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:06:42Oh, uh, sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:06:46It looks exactly like the one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:06:52It's where I keep my safe.
00:06:54Huh. People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:06:58Thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:00Oh, no, it's quite popular.
00:07:03Where do you hide your luxurious safe-keeping?
00:07:06Where do you hide your luxurious safe-keepings?
00:07:11In a super, super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:14Ugh, come on.
00:07:18Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?
00:07:22Oh, uh, most unfortunate, I'm getting the utmost important business call, and I must take it.
00:07:29Right now? What? What about me?
00:07:33Valentina!
00:07:37Wait! Untie me!
00:07:44Ew. Really, Blaine?
00:07:47What?
00:07:48You and your models.
00:07:52Last night was not a model. I was actually impressed.
00:07:57Did I hear right? Blaine actually had a date he liked?
00:08:01It was fantastic.
00:08:03The other girls are so boring, but this one, she's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:08:09I must see her again.
00:08:11Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:15It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.
00:08:22Grandfather, listen to him. He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:08:27I am much more qualified.
00:08:29You know, I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:08:34No, no, no, no.
00:08:36Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:08:39Right? You weren't 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.
00:08:54Oh.
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 and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:22Brilliant. It'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. It'll be ready.
00:09:32Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:09:48What's he doing here?
00:09:49Speaking of girls, I think I know who would be perfect as your new assistant.
00:09:54Sorry.
00:09:55I'm fine.
00:09:58Ariel.
00:09:59How does he know my name?
00:10:01You dropped your badge.
00:10:09There you go.
00:10:11Thanks.
00:10:19Amazing.
00:10:22Are you playing hide and seek?
00:10:23Is that where you were laying?
00:10:24Can I hide next?
00:10:25No, I was dropping my mom off at the hospital.
00:10:28Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:10:30Wait, oh my god, is she okay?
00:10:32Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:10:33She's just getting some tests done.
00:10:35Oh, thank goodness.
00:10:37Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:10:39Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:10:42Are you gonna apply?
00:10:43I'm good where I am.
00:10:44But all the girls are applying.
00:10:46Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:10:48You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:10:50I think this position is yours.
00:11:01He's gorgeous.
00:11:03I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:11:07Attention, everyone.
00:11:09My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:11:13I will try my best to live up to my father,
00:11:16but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:11:20And since he is adjusting to this new role,
00:11:22I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:11:26Not me, not me, not me.
00:11:28Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:11:36All right, everyone, back to work.
00:11:43You look exactly like...
00:11:47Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:53Kurt described.
00:11:55Clean, organized desk, confident composure.
00:12:00There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:12:03This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:12:06When do I start?
00:12:08Perfect.
00:12:09First thing I need help with
00:12:11is this file.
00:12:12Oh, um, gotta take a phone call.
00:12:15Send it to me in an email.
00:12:19Ariel, he wants to meet you again.
00:12:22Really?
00:12:24Also, I got you a second number.
00:12:26Just click the link to connect it,
00:12:28so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:12:31Great.
00:12:37New number, huh?
00:12:40Hello?
00:12:41Hello, Ariel, this is Dr. Westfall.
00:12:43We just got your mother's results.
00:12:49It'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.
00:13:32Oh.
00:13:33The doctor called?
00:13:35Yeah.
00:13:37Oh.
00:13:38The doctor called?
00:13:40He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:41Hush, hush, hush.
00:13:42Hush.
00:13:43None of that talk, okay?
00:13:45Mom.
00:13:47Eat before your food gets cold.
00:13:50Okay.
00:13:56I'll be right back.
00:13:59It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:01Are you ready?
00:14:04Yeah.
00:14:07Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:09I'll make it to go.
00:14:29Oh, where am I?
00:14:35Valentina.
00:14:37Blaine.
00:14:39Darling.
00:14:40What is this dreadful place?
00:14:42Do you intend to have me killed?
00:14:44No, not at all.
00:14:45This place is special.
00:14:47Follow me.
00:14:59Hi, Laura.
00:15:00We're almost there.
00:15:01Come on.
00:15:18Wow.
00:15:29Did you look at that view?
00:15:33I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:15:35Just you, actually.
00:15:37I discovered this place after my father died.
00:15:41Your family died?
00:15:43Yeah.
00:15:44And I've been thrown into the CEO position,
00:15:47and I'm a bit in over my head,
00:15:50so I never really get a chance to myself,
00:15:53except when I come here.
00:15:55I'm so sorry.
00:16:02My mom is sick.
00:16:07She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:13So I know how it feels to want to get away.
00:16:17Yeah.
00:16:20I mean, you know,
00:16:21I want to get away.
00:16:22Yeah.
00:16:25I'm used to getting everything,
00:16:27but this is one thing that money can't buy.
00:16:32I'm so sorry about your mom.
00:16:34Thanks.
00:16:37She's all I've got.
00:16:40I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:16:51Hey, who's out here?
00:16:56What's happening?
00:16:58Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:17:00What?
00:17:01Run.
00:17:09Hey!
00:17:12Still.
00:17:18What was that?
00:17:20That was fun.
00:17:21Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:17:24No, I suppose not.
00:17:28I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:17:33I feel like I can be myself around you.
00:17:36I feel the same way.
00:17:39Will you be my girlfriend, Valentina?
00:17:41That's right.
00:17:42I'm supposed to be Valentina.
00:17:43I can't do this to him.
00:17:46But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.
00:17:51I'd love to.
00:17:56Well, well, well.
00:17:59Martina, what are you doing here?
00:18:02I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:18:06Had to see it for myself.
00:18:08Well, that blind date went so well the other night,
00:18:11it got me thinking,
00:18:12maybe Grandfather was right.
00:18:14Is that so?
00:18:15Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:18:18That's right.
00:18:19Wow.
00:18:20What's she like?
00:18:21She's funny, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable.
00:18:27She's the whole package.
00:18:29Sounds like one that Dad actually would have approved of.
00:18:32I'd love to meet her.
00:18:36Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington.
00:18:37Is this a bad time?
00:18:39No, not at all.
00:18:40My sister just came to visit.
00:18:42Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:18:45Martina, nice to meet you.
00:18:47Likewise.
00:18:48Glad to see my brother as someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:18:52Don't you worry.
00:18:53I got this.
00:18:54Well, after you lost the keys to the Maserati,
00:18:56I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new AI tech that we need.
00:18:59I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati,
00:19:01and don't you worry.
00:19:02I've got the codes right here on this drive,
00:19:06and I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:08And I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:22Glad to hear you're doing that.
00:19:24I have wasted enough time.
00:19:28Now you know exactly where it is.
00:19:30Get it.
00:19:39All right, where's that drive?
00:19:47Are you kidding?
00:19:48There's nothing in here.
00:20:03They're coming in.
00:20:04Crap!
00:20:06How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:20:08Oh, man.
00:20:09You don't twist my arm.
00:20:11You don't twist my arm.
00:20:13No, no, no.
00:20:21Oh, yeah.
00:20:26Sir.
00:20:27Cheers.
00:20:28Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:32Right.
00:20:33Right.
00:20:34After then.
00:20:35Yeah.
00:20:44That 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.
00:20:59Aren't we all?
00:21:00So, she has a crush on her boss,
00:21:02and 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.
00:21:09I don't like Blaine.
00:21:10But he deserves to know, though, right?
00:21:12You're gonna tell him?
00:21:13I mean, I don't know.
00:21:14Because what if I tell Kurt I like him and he doesn't like me,
00:21:17and then it's so totally awkward and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.
00:21:21Wait.
00:21:22You 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. Ellington?
00:21:39I need your personal help.
00:21:41Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:21:53I've never gotten a girl a gift.
00:21:55Wow, really?
00:21:57Um, I mean, yeah.
00:21:59First girlfriend, first gift.
00:22:01Checks out.
00:22:02So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:18Oh my God, I'm gonna be wearing that?
00:22:21Sorry?
00:22:23Your girlfriend's gonna be wearing that?
00:22:25Yeah.
00:22:26It's pretty nice, right?
00:22:28Well, I mean, it's option one.
00:22:31You think she'll like it?
00:22:33Um, well, what's your girlfriend like?
00:22:37What are her tastes?
00:22:40Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous.
00:22:45The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.
00:22:51I see.
00:22:53So, keep that in mind.
00:22:55Option two.
00:23:01And that's even more revealing than the first one.
00:23:03Yeah.
00:23:04This is big in Europe.
00:23:06Between you and me, I'm rooting for this guy.
00:23:08Mm-hmm.
00:23:09I see.
00:23:10Do you have anything more modest?
00:23:15Hm.
00:23:16Modest?
00:23:17Yeah.
00:23:18That seems to be the style I've been seeing these days.
00:23:22With the rich folk.
00:23:23With the rich folk.
00:23:24At least.
00:23:26You know, now that you say it, I think I do have something.
00:23:34Aha!
00:23:38What 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.
00:23:54She'll have a French 75 with cognac.
00:23:57Flora, what are you doing here?
00:23:59Making sure you look the part.
00:24:01You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?
00:24:04Yes, more than anything.
00:24:06Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize.
00:24:09We need to get our hands on that code fast.
00:24:12Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery.
00:24:14But until then, we're in this together.
00:24:17Yes?
00:24:18Yeah.
00:24:20Excellent.
00:24:22Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:24Make him even more vulnerable.
00:24:26And get him to tell me where the code is.
00:24:29And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:24:31Um...
00:24:34Be nice?
00:24:38Your ignorance is both cute and annoying.
00:24:42No.
00:24:43No.
00:24:45A man like Blaine Ellington is going to become vulnerable from two things.
00:24:50Drinking with him.
00:24:52And going to bed with him.
00:24:54Right.
00:24:57I can do that.
00:24:59I hope so, because he's coming this way.
00:25:04Get the code soon, honey.
00:25:06For your mother.
00:25:08Okay.
00:25:11Oh!
00:25:13Bye, Blaine.
00:25:14Have fun.
00:25:17Okay.
00:25:19Valentina.
00:25:22How are you?
00:25:24Wonderful, love.
00:25:26I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:25:28Is that so?
00:25:29Indeed.
00:25:31I was so distracted.
00:25:33It affected my croquet score.
00:25:35Oh, no. Distracted over little old me.
00:25:37Yes.
00:25:39I simply must know everything about you.
00:25:41Well, what would you like to know?
00:25:44Everything.
00:25:46Well, I don't know about everything.
00:25:48It might take some time for me to open up.
00:25:51Well, maybe after a few drinks?
00:25:54Only if you can keep up.
00:25:56See, I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking.
00:26:00Oh, no.
00:26:02Well, here goes nothing.
00:26:12Wait.
00:26:13That's really good.
00:26:24You know, my sister was implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is, because I forget stuff.
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?
00:26:44Yeah.
00:26:45It cost me $10,000 just to get them rekeyed.
00:26:49Which is why I should probably tell someone in case I do forget.
00:26:56So, maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome and trustworthy?
00:27:01Well, if you'd like, go ahead.
00:27:03I'll tell you.
00:27:05But first...
00:27:10I'm going to hit the men's room.
00:27:16This is it.
00:27:17All I need to do is ask him where the code is, and my mission is over.
00:27:21Nothing can stop me now.
00:27:23Ariel?
00:27:25Except my ex-boyfriend.
00:27:30I don't know what you're talking about, Dr. B.
00:27:33Darling, I 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 just leave, Max.
00:27:50It's Maximilian now.
00:27:52Because I'm Max, and I make millions.
00:27:55Whatever. Please. I'm begging you.
00:27:58Look 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, but I've become very rich.
00:28:11Yes. You've sent me 50 messages about it. I had to block your number.
00:28:15Oh. Yeah, that's right.
00:28:17Please, I'll do whatever you want, okay? I just...
00:28:21How about a kiss for old time's sake?
00:28:24You know, Ariel, sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together.
00:28:29This isn't happening.
00:28:31Do you not remember when we'd go and get taco Tuesday at that Mexican restaurant and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:28:39How embarrassing.
00:28:42Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:43Yes, he does.
00:28:44A situation shipped the best.
00:28:47Let go, Max.
00:28:48Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:28:51Get off her!
00:28:55Blaine Ellington?
00:28:57Max Fletcher.
00:28:58Maximilian?
00:29:00What are you doing with that peasant?
00:29:02That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
00:29:04Blaine Ellington.
00:29:06Getting my sloppy seconds.
00:29:22This isn't over.
00:29:24Come on, Regina.
00:29:29Just stay away from my man, skank.
00:29:32I was actually trying to.
00:29:36Are you okay?
00:29:38Yeah, I think so.
00:29:40We gotta get out of here.
00:29:42This isn't good.
00:29:53Care to explain this?
00:29:55I assume the article does a good job.
00:29:59Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?
00:30:04What are you, a child?
00:30:06I'm not a child.
00:30:07But 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, okay?
00:30:23The onus is you on this, pal.
00:30:26Maybe your sister was right.
00:30:29Maybe 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.
00:30:39What would your father think?
00:30:50I don't know.
00:30:58Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
00:31:01What is that? Some family motto I'm not aware of?
00:31:05It's Shakespeare, you idiot.
00:31:07What 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?
00:31:18She's not a bimbo.
00:31:21Then don't treat her like one.
00:31:24Treat her like dad treated mom.
00:31:30How 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. Just last night, we were sharing everything with each other.
00:31:42Okay, share more.
00:31:44Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:31:47I will. I'm gonna get close to this woman. You'll see.
00:31:52And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one stem.
00:31:58Shakespeare.
00:32:00Yeah?
00:32:02Ow!
00:32:12Martina, how are you?
00:32:14How am I?
00:32:16Yeah, how are you?
00:32:19I am annoyed. Time is running out, understand?
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.
00:32:40Other than that...
00:32:42I am fine. Thanks for asking.
00:32:55Happy hump day, bestie!
00:32:58It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:33:00Oh, right. Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:33:03Better.
00:33:05And worse.
00:33:07And worse.
00:33:09That sounds super complicated.
00:33:11You have no idea.
00:33:13Can you come in here?
00:33:15I'll be right there. Good thing you've got work to distract you.
00:33:18Good thing.
00:33:26You have the file for the new China branch?
00:33:29Yeah.
00:33:37Long night?
00:33:40You know what?
00:33:42Let's forget about the file.
00:33:54Let's just close our eyes for ten minutes.
00:34:07That's an order.
00:34:09Okay.
00:34:17This is nice.
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:21This should be like an everyday thing.
00:34:29Good morning! Another beautiful day in Ellington.
00:34:32Let's get it!
00:34:34Oh, Hannah!
00:34:37Well, I guess that's over.
00:34:44Well, everything should be there.
00:34:48I 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 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.
00:35:16Yeah. 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?
00:35:27Yeah. Maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.
00:35:30Tell me if she sounds upset.
00:35:33Um...
00:35:35I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:35:38She makes me so nervous.
00:35:40I'm sure you make her nervous, too.
00:35:43Shit, shit, shit!
00:35:44Uh-oh!
00:35:46Uh-oh!
00:35:48Think, Ariel, think!
00:35:50Uh, I'm gonna be sick.
00:35:52Bathroom!
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.
00:36:25Well, I'm glad to hear you're feeling all right.
00:36:27But, uh, I was worried.
00:36:32No need, darling. I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:36:37I wanted to know if I'd get to see you again.
00:36:41You will. Very soon.
00:36:50Uh, sorry.
00:36:52Can I help you?
00:36:54I couldn't hear you. It kind of sounded like...
00:36:57Sorry, Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.
00:37:03Must be going.
00:37:05Okay, sure. See you.
00:37:07Ta-ta!
00:37:14Community theater.
00:37:17Character. I'm rehearsing.
00:37:21Murder mystery.
00:37:24I'll send you the dates.
00:37:25I'm not in the theater.
00:37:28That's fair.
00:37:44Mom, I'm home!
00:37:46Hi, honey. How was your day?
00:37:50It was... not boring.
00:37:52How was yours?
00:37:54It was wonderful.
00:37:56I did laundry, watched some soaps.
00:38:00What are you cooking? I told you I was going to cook tonight.
00:38:04Well, you weren't home yet, and I wanted to go ahead and get started so your co-worker could have some, too.
00:38:09My co-worker?
00:38:11Hello, darling.
00:38:13Flora!
00:38:15What are you doing here?
00:38:17I was going to call you about a few work questions, but I was, uh, in the neighborhood.
00:38:23And thought I'd drop in.
00:38:25Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion. You didn't say anything about a job promotion.
00:38:31I guess it slipped my mind.
00:38:34I'm sorry.
00:38:36It's okay.
00:38:37You didn't say anything about a job promotion.
00:38:40I guess it slipped my mind.
00:38:43Well, you two don't mind me. Go ahead and have your work talk, then I'll be ready soon.
00:38:59What are you doing here?
00:39:01Checking in to see what progress was made last night.
00:39:03I, um, I got close to finding out where he hid the drive, but I...
00:39:09But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:39:12I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:39:15Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:39:18You're not getting attached.
00:39:21What? No. Of course not.
00:39:23Good. I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:39:29Dinner's ready.
00:39:31Deeply sorry, darling. Urgent business. Must be taking off.
00:39:35Oh, um, okay. Well, it was nice meeting you.
00:39:39You too, darling.
00:39:44Tick-tock.
00:39:45Tick-tock.
00:39:58Alright, I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal. Any ideas?
00:40:05Inner rehab.
00:40:07Too tacky.
00:40:09Go volunteer in a third world country?
00:40:11Too obvious.
00:40:13Record an apology video for social media and post it there.
00:40:17Too cringe.
00:40:21Adopt an orphan.
00:40:23Now that is something.
00:40:25Ariel, how good are you at raising kids?
00:40:27Um, let's think of other options.
00:40:32What about a charity ball?
00:40:34Yes! That's it! That's the one!
00:40:37I like that. I like it a lot.
00:40:39Isn't she good?
00:40:41No.
00:40:43Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant.
00:40:46So, really, this kind of all comes back to...
00:40:48Got it. Wait. What charity would it be for?
00:40:52How about unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:40:55I'd love that. Let's get it rolling.
00:40:58I'll start right away.
00:41:00Ariel, you've become an integral part of our company.
00:41:04And I want to have you seated at our VIP table.
00:41:07Oh my gosh. Thank you. I'm honored.
00:41:08Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend Valentina, and you.
00:41:14Good job, Ariel.
00:41:20Let's see how it looks. Come out.
00:41:26It fits perfectly, darling.
00:41:30Wow. Stunning.
00:41:32Next, I'll have to get you a dress.
00:41:34A dress?
00:41:36What's the occasion?
00:41:39Well, I'm hosting this charity ball, and I would love for you to be my date.
00:41:45I love a good ball.
00:41:48But I must check my schedule, darling.
00:41:51Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?
00:41:55My new AI tech.
00:41:56It's going to revolutionize the world.
00:41:59Ah, yes.
00:42:01We got interrupted. You were going to tell me something important.
00:42:06What were you going to say?
00:42:08It's not really that necessary.
00:42:12You don't trust me?
00:42:14I do. This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO, and I just want it to go well.
00:42:21But I thought I was special.
00:42:24You are. I just...
00:42:27Well, you know, if you don't trust me...
00:42:30Wait.
00:42:35So you do trust me?
00:42:37Mm-hmm.
00:42:45So, what are we doing?
00:42:47Sorry.
00:42:52So, Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret.
00:42:58Mm-hmm.
00:43:01Where is it?
00:43:03It's here. In the mansion.
00:43:08It's here?
00:43:09Mm-hmm.
00:43:15Mm-hmm.
00:43:23We're in the mansion?
00:43:26It's...
00:43:32Yeah.
00:43:35Now?
00:43:37Okay. I'll be there.
00:43:46Where are you going, darling?
00:43:48They need me to be on this call with China, so I have to leave.
00:43:53You have to leave right now, darling?
00:43:56Yeah. Now.
00:43:58I'm sorry.
00:44:00Pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:44:03Yeah.
00:44:04Yeah.
00:44:07Martina was right about you. I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:34Okay.
00:44:42Did you get it?
00:44:44The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:44:47Excellent, darling. Excellent.
00:45:05Next Week
00:45:14Max, what are you doing here?
00:45:16What the hell are you doing here, Ariel? Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?
00:45:21You wouldn't understand.
00:45:23Oh, I understand. You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:45:29No, I'm not. I...
00:45:30You know, I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.
00:45:37It's only the right thing to do.
00:45:40Please don't. You don't know what I'm doing.
00:45:42Oh, you'll lose your job? Your reputation?
00:45:46Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:45:50What do you want, Max?
00:45:52I just want a little, an arrangement.
00:45:56I'd rather not.
00:45:57Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:46:02Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:46:05Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you. I want to destroy you.
00:46:11You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.
00:46:17If by tomorrow, I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town, I'll do it for you.
00:46:27I'll do it for you.
00:46:40You seem extra happy today.
00:46:43I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole other level last night.
00:46:48Wow, that's awesome, man. I'm so happy for you.
00:46:52Hi, Mr. Lington. Hi, Kurt.
00:46:54Hi, Anna.
00:46:55Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:46:58Kurt?
00:47:00Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:47:05Hi, Ariel. Are you alright?
00:47:09Yeah, I'm alright. Um, I actually had an idea about the charity ball.
00:47:15Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:47:21I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:23Where?
00:47:25I was thinking your house.
00:47:31Uh, I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:47:37Well, if we hosted ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:47:42And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:47:45That makes sense. Okay, let's do it.
00:47:50Great. I'll send out the invitations.
00:47:54She really knows this company inside and out.
00:47:58What do you know about Ariel?
00:48:01What do you want to know?
00:48:16Here you go, Mom.
00:48:18I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:48:20I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:22That's okay. We can watch it next weekend.
00:48:25Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:48:29Mom, you are my friend.
00:48:32People your age, who you can be out dancing with, flirting with boys.
00:48:39I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:48:42What? What's he like?
00:48:45It's complicated.
00:48:46Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:48:49Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:48:58Sweetie, I'm fine. I just need some rest.
00:49:17And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.
00:49:22I am dreading giving this speech.
00:49:25I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:49:29I always thought that was a little pervy, but...
00:49:33I promise, you're going to be amazing.
00:49:37Thank you so much for being here tonight.
00:49:41You're welcome.
00:49:43Thank you so much for helping with this charity ball idea. It was genius.
00:49:50I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:49:53I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:49:58Well, I should get going.
00:50:00Wait, I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:50:05Make sure the dress fits.
00:50:07I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:50:09All right. Good night.
00:50:24Hello, darling.
00:50:26I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:50:29It's perfect.
00:50:31I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:50:33I can't wait either, darling.
00:50:36Good night.
00:50:39Good night.
00:50:58Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:51:01Thanks, Kurt. You're looking sharp.
00:51:04Oh, yeah. Well, got a dress to impress, you know.
00:51:07Are you trying to impress anyone?
00:51:10Nah.
00:51:12Listen, Random, does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:51:17I don't think so.
00:51:20Do you like her?
00:51:22No. No, no, no.
00:51:25No, I'm just trying to make a friendly conversation.
00:51:29Yeah.
00:51:31We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:51:35Oh!
00:51:37You're still here.
00:51:39Yeah. Listen.
00:51:41If someone were to ask Hannah to dance,
00:51:46what do you think the chances are that she would say yes?
00:51:50Probably good.
00:51:53Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:51:55No. No. No, no, no, no.
00:51:57No, I'm just a fan of wild, hypothetical scenarios.
00:52:03That one just sprung to mind.
00:52:05Mm-hmm. Okay.
00:52:08Yep.
00:52:10Um, well, I'm going to go
00:52:16help Blaine practice his speech.
00:52:19So I'm going to do that right now.
00:52:22I will see you later.
00:52:24All right. See ya.
00:52:26And you must be Ariel.
00:52:31Yes. Hi.
00:52:35Hmm. You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:52:39He has?
00:52:41Oh, yes, yes. In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:52:46I suppose so.
00:52:48Wonderful.
00:52:50Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done
00:52:54if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:52:56Wow. That's such an honor.
00:52:58I heard he was a great man.
00:53:00He was a great man.
00:53:02Martina!
00:53:03Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:53:07Yes, briefly.
00:53:09She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.
00:53:12Yes, yes, she has.
00:53:14In fact, I can see her playing a bigger role at Ellington
00:53:19if she keeps it up.
00:53:21Why wait? She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:24Really?
00:53:26I think so. Don't you, Ariel?
00:53:28Uh, uh-huh.
00:53:30Amazing.
00:53:31Amazing.
00:53:33Well, I can't wait.
00:53:39Me either.
00:54:01Ariel!
00:54:03Blaine.
00:54:05There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.

01:13:18dating anytime soon right I got a lot to think about what do you mean I mean we
01:13:32may have to take the company in a complete different direction for in a
01:13:34game back the public's trust you can't be serious
