FunTranscript
00:00:00Working under this much stress for a huge company, it's all for you, mom.
00:00:08Are you nervous about your first day?
00:00:11A little bit, but thank you for getting me the job.
00:00:14Of course.
00:00:15It's been crazy. The CEO, Sebastian Armstrong, is working a huge merger.
00:00:20He could be a two-time billionaire by the end of this deal.
00:00:23But isn't he already the richest man in the world?
00:00:25The youngest richest man in the world.
00:00:30I wonder if he remembers me from college.
00:00:45You're going to have to sacrifice a lot of late nights,
00:00:48and you're going to make enemies on your way to the top.
00:01:00Perfume is intoxicating.
00:01:08Sorry, what was I saying?
00:01:14Oh my God, what is that wretched smell?
00:01:17Maybe that's my perfume.
00:01:19That's it. It's God-awful.
00:01:22Please go downstairs, sweetie.
00:01:24Actually, I am Mr. Armstrong's new receptionist.
00:01:27I used to have that job.
00:01:28Back then they used to hire class.
00:01:30I guess now they're willing to hire anyone off the street.
00:01:33Sorry to spit the truth, bitch, but you don't last a minute here.
00:01:44Oops.
00:01:45You should probably clean that up.
00:01:46Or I'll just tell them that you did it.
00:01:51Okay, my job is to answer phone calls and keep Mr. Sebastian's schedule.
00:01:58It's good health insurance.
00:02:00It'll pay for my mom's medical bills.
00:02:07Get out of my way, loser.
00:02:09My shirt!
00:02:11I told you, wouldn't last a day here.
00:02:19Who is that?
00:02:20That is Sebastian's wife.
00:02:23His wife?
00:02:26Be careful around her. She's a viper.
00:02:28Everyone knows she's only with him for his money.
00:02:31Sebastian Armstrong, we're going out tonight.
00:02:39Ruby, I have already told you that I want a divorce.
00:02:43You need to sign these papers.
00:02:54Honey, we're so good together.
00:02:59Our love burns white hot.
00:03:01Remember when we used to make love in the office executive shower?
00:03:05Ruby, we are over.
00:03:08Because you have made it abundantly clear that all you've ever been after is my money.
00:03:14Especially after I caught you stealing.
00:03:17Now I have a business meeting today with Robert Sanchez, and it is the largest business deal that I have ever had.
00:03:23Well, nobody denies Ruby Cromwell.
00:03:29Get up. You need to get out.
00:03:31Okay, I'm all sweaty from my workout. I need to take a shower, so go.
00:03:34Why don't I join?
00:03:35I mean, I've seen your six-pack abs before.
00:03:42You need to go. Now.
00:03:45Fine.
00:03:57Hey, thrift shop girl.
00:03:59Sebastian needs to see you in his office.
00:04:01Head to the door that says executive.
00:04:04Yeah, of course.
00:04:11Ruby, I thought I told you...
00:04:14I am so sorry.
00:04:25I'm so sorry, Mr. Sebastian. Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong.
00:04:29It's okay.
00:04:32Don't worry about it.
00:04:44I can't believe I just saw Mr. Sebastian's Armstrong.
00:04:50I'm so embarrassed.
00:04:56Who am I fooling? I don't belong here.
00:05:00I'm eating a panini I made with a panini maker from a thrift store.
00:05:11The terms of this merger are favorable to both sides.
00:05:15Which means we're not even close to getting a deal done.
00:05:17Where should I set these down?
00:05:19I don't care. Anywhere.
00:05:26Oh, my God.
00:05:28I'm so sorry.
00:05:30Get out of here.
00:05:31You're fired. Clear out your desk.
00:05:35You can't talk to your employee like that.
00:05:37I don't tell you how to run your company.
00:05:39She could sue you for wrongful termination.
00:05:42We can't do a merger with a company like that.
00:05:44Come to your senses.
00:05:48I'm sorry. Have we met before?
00:05:50Not funny.
00:05:51Look, why don't we start over?
00:05:53I'm Sebastian Armstrong.
00:05:54Would you like a job at my multi-billion dollar company?
00:05:57I don't think so.
00:05:59What?
00:06:00Oh, well, I don't want to work for a boss that's an asshole.
00:06:04He doesn't even know how to apologize.
00:06:07No one's ever talked to me that way.
00:06:11That takes guts.
00:06:13And I like that.
00:06:15We need people like you at this company that stand up for themselves.
00:06:19Well, I'm sorry if I'm overly honest.
00:06:22I'm just tired of eating my grilled cheese panini in the bathroom.
00:06:27Wow, I haven't laughed like that in a long time.
00:06:29I needed that.
00:06:31I'm sorry that I snapped like that in the office.
00:06:34This merger's just been beyond stressful.
00:06:38Will you accept my humblest apologies?
00:06:45Of course.
00:06:48I'm sorry for spilling coffee on your very expensive shirt.
00:06:56Looks like we're both in need of some new digs.
00:06:59Tell you what, why don't you go down to Latour Boutique and get yourself a new outfit?
00:07:04I can't afford Latour Boutique.
00:07:07You can with this.
00:07:08No, I can't take that.
00:07:12I insist.
00:07:13Go down, get yourself a new outfit, and come back tomorrow ready to work.
00:07:27Anyway, that was just the worst date.
00:07:31Did you know, when I was in college, Sebastian came to my school and gave a young entrepreneur lecture.
00:07:42He was so charming.
00:07:44And knowledgeable.
00:07:46Uh-oh.
00:07:47Uh-oh?
00:07:48Yeah, I think you might be in love.
00:07:53Whatever.
00:07:55Seriously, you should ride his baloney pony.
00:07:59Might lend you that big promotion.
00:08:01I am not the ruthless type.
00:08:03Plus, I don't think he'd be into it.
00:08:05Man at his level's always into that.
00:08:08I think he's different.
00:08:09Men are all the same.
00:08:10Oh, coming from someone who swipes right on everyone.
00:08:15Alright, alright.
00:08:19Hello?
00:08:24What do you mean?
00:08:27Okay.
00:08:28I'll be there.
00:08:31Everything okay?
00:08:33No, my mom has cancer.
00:08:37I'm so sorry.
00:08:39She's doing better and has one treatment to go, but it is expensive.
00:08:46That's why I really need to keep this job.
00:08:50Of course.
00:08:58Hi! How dare you serve me with divorce papers in public!
00:09:01You embarrass me in front of all the ladies at the salon!
00:09:05Oh, God.
00:09:07I thought we were going to work this out.
00:09:09We're not going to work this out.
00:09:10Just sign the papers.
00:09:11No!
00:09:12I want to go over every single line of this.
00:09:15My mother gave us that chandelier in the rumpus room.
00:09:17It's mine.
00:09:19That's fine.
00:09:20What else?
00:09:21There's a lot else.
00:09:24God.
00:09:26Vanessa, can you please move my 12 o'clock appointment to the end of the day?
00:09:29And also, can you bring us some lunch?
00:09:32Yes, Sebastian.
00:09:33I mean, Mr. Sebastian.
00:09:35I mean, Mr. Armstrong.
00:09:40Getting real chummy with the help.
00:09:44She works for me.
00:09:45Oh, does she?
00:09:48Remember when these used to work for you?
00:09:53Can we just keep this professional, please?
00:09:55I used to be a receptionist.
00:09:57Don't think this two-bit whore can come in and replace me.
00:10:00I'm class elegant.
00:10:01She's homeless.
00:10:02Shelter.
00:10:03Here you are, sir.
00:10:04Thank you, Vanessa.
00:10:08Thank you, receptionist girl.
00:10:09That'll be all.
00:10:14Oopsies.
00:10:15Can you get that?
00:10:18Sure.
00:10:29Oh, my gosh.
00:10:30I'm sorry.
00:10:31I'm such a klutz.
00:10:35Sit down.
00:10:37We are going to go over every single line of this.
00:10:39And you know what?
00:10:40We're actually going to add some clauses there.
00:10:42I'd like a house in the Hamptons.
00:10:43I want a new cappuccino machine.
00:10:45I want a cashmere sweater.
00:10:46We are going in on this.
00:10:48Or I'm not signing.
00:10:50Okay.
00:10:51Have her bring a new plate in.
00:10:57Hey.
00:10:58I'm sorry.
00:10:59You go.
00:11:00I just wanted to apologize.
00:11:02For Ruby's clumsiness.
00:11:04You know, divorces can be hard.
00:11:06I needed to get this dry cleaned anyway.
00:11:08Oh, you should put that on the company account.
00:11:10And I want to let you know that you're doing a really good job here.
00:11:13Thank you, Mr. Armstrong.
00:11:15Yeah, of course.
00:11:19I think I know where I know you from.
00:11:23You do?
00:11:24Yes, Va Tech.
00:11:25I gave a lecture there a couple of years ago.
00:11:27I can't believe you.
00:11:29I gave a lecture there a couple of years ago.
00:11:31I can't believe you remember that.
00:11:33Yeah.
00:11:34Chantel perfume number five.
00:11:36Is that it?
00:11:38You know, I thought about finding you after that lecture.
00:11:40And going to the dorms and banging on some doors.
00:11:44Well, I wish you did.
00:11:46But it might have been frowned upon.
00:11:48You being a lecturer.
00:11:51Maybe some sort of power imbalance.
00:11:53Yeah, I don't think the university would have appreciated me taking advantage of my position.
00:12:00Interesting.
00:12:02I always thought you took risks.
00:12:08Hey, boss.
00:12:10Congrats on the merger.
00:12:12Yeah, I couldn't have done it with everybody in this room.
00:12:14But it's not over yet.
00:12:16But we'll get there soon.
00:12:208 p.m. tonight.
00:12:32He wants me to meet him at the fanciest hotel in the city?
00:12:49Hey.
00:13:19Hey.
00:13:28Wow.
00:13:29That dress fits you perfectly.
00:13:32How did you know my size?
00:13:34My grandfather used to work at a carnival.
00:13:36I could guess your weight, too.
00:13:38But I'd rather just buy a dress for you.
00:13:44This room must have cost a fortune.
00:13:46Yeah, they tend to comp the room when you own the hotel.
00:13:56I'm used to my wine coming in a box.
00:14:00You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:03No one has ever said that to me, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:468 p.m. tonight.
00:15:168 p.m. tonight.
00:15:198 p.m. tonight.
00:15:44I hope you're not too good for box wine, though.
00:15:47I am never too good for box wine.
00:15:51Oh, gosh.
00:15:52This has been such a whirlwind.
00:15:55I am falling so hard.
00:15:57Just be careful, honey.
00:16:01I know.
00:16:02I'm trying to take it slow.
00:16:05I mean, that merger is heating up.
00:16:07All the stockholders in the company have their eye on him right now.
00:16:09They might be looking to make it a hostile takeover.
00:16:13You're the only person I've told.
00:16:14We both decided to be discreet.
00:16:17The last thing he needs is media attention.
00:16:19It's also the last thing you need with your mom.
00:16:21How is Teresa doing?
00:16:22Better.
00:16:23They say she has one more treatment and hopefully she'll be in remission.
00:16:26That's great news.
00:16:29I really need to keep this job.
00:16:37Are you just going to stand there or are we going to get to work?
00:16:39Do you have any idea what you're doing?
00:16:41We're getting so close to finalizing this merger.
00:16:44Of course I know what I'm doing.
00:17:04Are you spying on me?
00:17:07Not me.
00:17:09But somebody is.
00:17:12Those came across my desk earlier today.
00:17:14And I had to pay a pretty good penny to keep them out of the press.
00:17:19I'm not a married man. I can date somebody.
00:17:21Your divorce with Ruby isn't final.
00:17:23She won't sign the papers, Robert.
00:17:25Any way you cut it, Sebastian, it can be a problem.
00:17:28The board is wary of getting into business with another billionaire playboy.
00:17:33They like stability.
00:17:35Especially after that woman in Gotham went rogue.
00:17:38Maybe it would help to be a happily married man.
00:17:42I don't think that exists.
00:17:45I got news for you, pal.
00:17:47It does.
00:17:4835 years.
00:17:56I wish I could tell the world how I feel about her.
00:18:00But the world finding out about us during my divorce would hurt the merger.
00:18:08We are playing with fire.
00:18:10But I care about him so much.
00:18:12I just can't jeopardize anything.
00:18:22Well, well, well.
00:18:24What do we have here?
00:18:27Excuse me?
00:18:28I'm Lombardi. Bruno Lombardi.
00:18:31Hi, I'm Vanessa.
00:18:33Mr. Armstrong's new assistant.
00:18:35We have so much in common.
00:18:36I'm also new at Armstrong Enterprises.
00:18:38I'm here to dictate the merger.
00:18:40But why talk about work while at work when we can talk about play while we play?
00:18:45What?
00:18:46Happy hour. Teenies on me.
00:18:48Teenies?
00:18:50Martinis. Teenies to bikinis.
00:18:53Oh, that's funny.
00:18:56Yeah.
00:18:57What do you say we get out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini?
00:19:04Are all your pickup lines martini-based?
00:19:08Yeah.
00:19:12We need to talk.
00:19:14Ruby, I didn't see you on my schedule.
00:19:17Oh, okay. I'm pretty sure I don't need to be on your schedule because I'm your wife.
00:19:22Ex-wife.
00:19:23What do you need? What's the problem?
00:19:25I'm still unhappy with the divorce terms.
00:19:28How can you be unhappy? It's fair. I paid you more than half.
00:19:33I still want you.
00:19:36No baby voice, Ruby. Okay, we're through.
00:19:40Fine. Clearly you don't want me anymore.
00:19:43But I do know that you want me to sign before the merger.
00:19:45The merger has nothing to do with you.
00:19:48What if I wanted to have something to do with me?
00:19:50You are entitled to none of that.
00:19:52We'll see about that.
00:19:55You need to get out of here before I call security.
00:19:57You wouldn't dare.
00:20:04You need to go. Come on, out the door.
00:20:14Hey there.
00:20:15Hey, sorry. I'm wiped.
00:20:18I know that you overheard Ruby yelling at me.
00:20:22It's none of my business.
00:20:23It's over between her and I.
00:20:25She does not think so.
00:20:29So, would you like to have dinner with me?
00:20:33I'm not really hungry.
00:20:36You sure about that?
00:20:40I don't think it's a good idea.
00:20:43Look, I know that we've both been under a lot of stress.
00:20:46We can just keep it simple.
00:20:48Have some good food, take our mind off things. No pressure.
00:20:51He's right. We're both under a lot of stress.
00:20:54But I can't put my stress on him.
00:20:56So, dinner?
00:20:58Keep it simple.
00:20:59Keep it simple.
00:21:03Keep it simple.
00:21:12This is simple.
00:21:15You're worth it.
00:21:19I'm worried about the merger.
00:21:24You too.
00:21:25I'm not worried about you closing it.
00:21:28I'm worried about us.
00:21:29Look, it's almost a done deal.
00:21:31All eyes are on you.
00:21:33With this and your divorce,
00:21:35don't you worry that this will make the company think you're unfit?
00:21:37Unfit for what?
00:21:38The merger is just money.
00:21:40And I have money.
00:21:41But I don't have love.
00:21:46I want to be with you.
00:21:50I don't know.
00:21:53Why are you so hesitant?
00:21:54I don't know if I can tell him.
00:21:59What's going on?
00:22:00My mom is...
00:22:03cancer.
00:22:05She has cancer.
00:22:06And I just need to focus on work right now
00:22:09because her bills are mounting up.
00:22:10You know I can take care of that for you.
00:22:12No, Sebastian, that's not why I'm telling you.
00:22:15I don't want your charity.
00:22:16My mom always taught me to earn everything I get.
00:22:23Well, she sounds like a strong woman.
00:22:25She's the strongest woman I know.
00:22:27I admire you.
00:22:29I don't need to be admired.
00:22:31I need to be understood.
00:22:34Understood.
00:22:37I think we should slow down a little.
00:22:40What are you talking about?
00:22:41Maybe just be friends.
00:22:44I don't think I could just be friends with you.
00:22:47I don't think I can be anything more.
00:22:59I see you.
00:23:01What?
00:23:03I see you.
00:23:04You're a rising star of this company.
00:23:07I am just trying to work here.
00:23:09I don't need any distractions.
00:23:11Let me guess.
00:23:12Your job's a joke.
00:23:13You're broke.
00:23:14Your love life's the OA.
00:23:16It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
00:23:19It hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
00:23:22or even your year.
00:23:24No.
00:23:26Babe, come on.
00:23:31Release the attention.
00:23:37Maybe this is for the better.
00:23:39I have to get Sebastian to end this.
00:23:41This is the only way.
00:23:43Uh, yeah.
00:23:45That's the thought.
00:23:47That's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:23:50I'm sorry.
00:23:51That's the thought.
00:23:52That's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:24:04Oh, sorry, Mr. Sebastian.
00:24:07Hey, Sebastian, don't worry.
00:24:08We're off the clock.
00:24:15This is hot.
00:24:17Don't ever touch me again.
00:24:22Playing hard to get?
00:24:23I like that.
00:24:25Bruno likey.
00:24:30You're a big star.
00:24:31You got this.
00:24:32She's yours.
00:24:34Two can play this game.
00:24:36I'll be there for you.
00:24:43Hey, I'm sorry about...
00:24:46There's nothing to be sorry about.
00:24:48We're both adults.
00:24:49You don't owe me anything.
00:24:52He was just being...
00:24:54I don't care about him.
00:24:56I just...
00:24:57I don't know.
00:24:58I thought that you were different.
00:24:59I...
00:25:00I have to let this happen.
00:25:02You know what?
00:25:03I think you're right.
00:25:05I think that we should just be friends.
00:25:08No.
00:25:10More like work colleagues.
00:25:14Because I had hoped that we were going to build something together.
00:25:18But my life, my business wasn't built off hope.
00:25:20It was built off hard work.
00:25:23No, and I was blinded by what I thought was such an amazing person.
00:25:29But the reality is you're just like everyone else.
00:25:33You're just after my money.
00:25:36Sebastian, I don't...
00:25:45How about we finish when we start?
00:25:46Get off.
00:25:47What about all that break room talk?
00:25:49I thought I told you never touch me again.
00:25:52Let's pretend I didn't hear that.
00:25:54Get off me.
00:25:55Bruno, I'm not interested.
00:25:57Don't be that interested.
00:26:05You're the greatest.
00:26:12Tell me everything.
00:26:14It was terrible what I did, but this merger is so important to Sebastian.
00:26:18I couldn't risk losing it for him.
00:26:20You were never going to lose it for him.
00:26:22I can't be a distraction to him.
00:26:24Maybe he needs a distraction.
00:26:27What did you do?
00:26:30I almost kissed Bruno.
00:26:33The aggressive guy?
00:26:34I only did it to make Sebastian forget about me so he could think about the merger.
00:26:39I hope you know what you're doing.
00:26:40I hope you know what you're doing.
00:26:46I wish we had met in college.
00:26:49Things would be so different.
00:26:55Kate, I don't know how to fix this.
00:26:57Girl, you can't fix being in love.
00:27:03What do you think Sebastian's doing right now?
00:27:11What is wrong with you?
00:27:13I mean, you have everything.
00:27:15And even after this merger, you'll have even more.
00:27:18You can have any woman you desire.
00:27:23Boy, don't ask I'm humble.
00:27:30You'd give it all up and be with her, wouldn't you?
00:27:35Well, if you love her, then you should just go to her.
00:27:41What do you have to drink in this dump?
00:27:44Ruby, what are you doing here? Come in.
00:27:47I'm sorry. I was a cranky bitch earlier.
00:27:50What are you doing here?
00:27:51Well, things got a little heated earlier.
00:27:54And I thought I should come make amends.
00:27:58Is it me?
00:28:01Is it hot in here?
00:28:10No.
00:28:27I've missed you.
00:28:29We were so good together.
00:28:41No, it's not.
00:28:43Let me take you to the bedroom.
00:28:51No, no. Hey, I'm sorry. I...
00:28:54I can't do this.
00:28:56Look, we had something in the past, Ruby.
00:29:01Here, just put this on.
00:29:03Is this about that bitch?
00:29:07Don't call her that.
00:29:09You'll regret this, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:29:31Hey, hey! Get off of me!
00:29:36Hey, hey, hey. Are you okay?
00:29:38What is that?
00:29:42He must have dropped it.
00:29:46My God, somebody's been spying on us.
00:29:57Thanks for the statement, ma'am.
00:29:59We'll keep an eye out for the perp.
00:30:00In the meantime, try to get some rest.
00:30:04Good night.
00:30:10Yeah, of course.
00:30:14How did you know where I lived?
00:30:17I looked your address up at work.
00:30:20I was coming over to apologize.
00:30:22About what?
00:30:24Look, I was a jerk earlier, and I overreacted.
00:30:27It's okay.
00:30:29Vanessa.
00:30:32People in my position have a very hard time with dating.
00:30:34Everyone only seems to want one thing from me,
00:30:37and that's why I have to be protective.
00:30:39I've been blinded by love before.
00:30:41Ruby?
00:30:43That obvious, huh?
00:30:45Bitch?
00:30:47Yeah.
00:30:49And she also could put this hold on people.
00:30:52And I didn't realize it until much later that she's just a gold digger.
00:30:56And she never loved me.
00:30:58She only loved my bank account.
00:31:00And that's why I tend to be defensive.
00:31:02Sebastian, maybe it's just not the right time for us.
00:31:06You have this merger.
00:31:08I don't want you to lose sight of it.
00:31:12And you have your mother.
00:31:14How's she doing?
00:31:16She has her last treatment coming up, so we're hopeful.
00:31:22She knows that I put off my career goals to take care of her.
00:31:26And she carries that guilt.
00:31:29The other day, she said that sometimes she wished she had died.
00:31:35So I could live.
00:31:38She's a strong woman, just like you.
00:31:40Look, I appreciate your generosity.
00:31:43But as of now, all I'm asking is that we remain boss and secretary.
00:31:52Deal?
00:31:56Deal.
00:31:58Deal.
00:32:00Under one condition.
00:32:02What is it?
00:32:05You replace this.
00:32:09Sure.
00:32:11You still have my black Amex card?
00:32:13I never used it.
00:32:15Okay. Well, you need to go down to Latour Boutique and get yourself another cocktail dress.
00:32:20I'm not going to do that.
00:32:23Well, you need to because I need you to attend a dinner with me.
00:32:28No dates.
00:32:30No, no, it's not a date. Personal assistant. Strictly business.
00:32:33You feed me the names of people that I should know. It's boring, but the food is good.
00:32:40So what do you say? Deal? That's my one condition.
00:32:44You really are a good negotiator.
00:32:51You should probably go.
00:32:55Okay.
00:32:58Bye.
00:33:04Can I help you?
00:33:06Yes, yes. I am looking for a dress.
00:33:09Looks like you need a whole new wardrobe.
00:33:11Oh, probably.
00:33:13Sorry, we don't have anything in the hobo casual collection.
00:33:17Oh, I know, I know. I don't usually shop at places like this.
00:33:21But I actually walk by here all the time and stare at that dress in the window.
00:33:25Not to cut you off, I'm pretty busy here and we only serve to high-end clients.
00:33:32Okay.
00:33:35Maybe I'm in the wrong store.
00:33:37Maybe you are.
00:33:39I should probably go.
00:33:41You should.
00:33:44Now wait just a minute. What is going on here?
00:33:47I don't belong here.
00:33:49Of course you do.
00:33:51Mr. Sebastian Armstrong, welcome.
00:33:53You weren't very welcoming to my friend here.
00:33:55It doesn't matter.
00:33:57You don't have to do this.
00:33:59Yes, I do. You should treat everyone who walks through that door with respect.
00:34:02I'm so sorry, Mr. Armstrong. I'm really sorry.
00:34:06My boyfriend just dumped me and I'm in a terrible mood.
00:34:09It's okay.
00:34:11I actually have those same sneakers that you're wearing. I love them.
00:34:14Also that dress in the window, I love it too.
00:34:17But I'm jealous because I know it'll look way better on you.
00:34:20Plus I have at least food. I'm oversharing.
00:34:22Just wrap up the dress. We have a big event to attend to tonight.
00:34:44Sorry, I know that this is a lot.
00:34:47I don't want to let you down.
00:34:49You won't. Just stick with me. I have some cocktail hour negotiating.
00:34:57Oh, God. I didn't realize they let trash in here.
00:35:01Ruby, this isn't the time or the place.
00:35:03Sebastian, you haven't answered any of my phone calls.
00:35:06Our divorce terms are unacceptable.
00:35:08I'm sorry, Ms. Cromwell, but Sebastian is about to give his speech.
00:35:10I'm sorry? Who the fuck are you?
00:35:13This is a conversation between my husband and I.
00:35:16You mean your ex-husband.
00:35:26Oh, no. I'm so sorry. I'm such a klutz.
00:35:34And now, ladies and gentlemen, may we present Mr. Sebastian Armstrong.
00:35:41I think it's about time we got legal involved to talk about these terms and details.
00:35:46Before it goes to legal, should I have my guys look at it?
00:35:49Your guys?
00:35:51Just keep taking notes. You're new here, so maybe you can learn a thing or two about negotiating.
00:35:57Pretty sure I could teach you a thing or two.
00:36:04Thank you, Vanessa.
00:36:07Let me know if you need anything.
00:36:09Let me know if you need anything else.
00:36:11I need some of that. Damn, she's hot.
00:36:15Nothing wrong with dipping the pen in the company ink, am I right, boys?
00:36:21I didn't know that you two were an item.
00:36:23There's a lot you don't know about me, Seb.
00:36:25It's Mr. Armstrong.
00:36:27Oh, so formal. This company needed a little joke like me?
00:36:32Guys, this isn't a pissing contest.
00:36:34Yeah, I know. Because I already got the prize.
00:36:39So, you are dating?
00:36:41I mean, if you call getting freaky in a two-star hotel dating.
00:36:45Come on, keep it classy.
00:36:47You won't be doing anything classy tonight.
00:36:50Respect the workplace.
00:36:52Hey, chill. You ain't got money like us. Cheap sluts like Vanessa are a dime a dozen.
00:36:59Vanessa.
00:37:02Stop. Stop.
00:37:06You're done. Get out of here. Pack your shit up.
00:37:09We don't do sexual harassment at this company.
00:37:11Okay, big boss man. I'll leave.
00:37:14But you're gonna regret this.
00:37:16You have no idea who I am and what I'm capable of.
00:37:20Just leave, son. It's over.
00:37:25Don't worry, Sebastian. I got your back.
00:37:29Back in my day, guys like him would have gotten it much worse.
00:37:33This won't affect our negotiations at all.
00:37:36It's good to be rid of the bad energy in the room.
00:37:43Oh my god.
00:37:52Vanessa, what's wrong?
00:37:54Someone vandalized my car.
00:37:56What? Are you okay?
00:38:00Stop. There.
00:38:08I can't see their faces. They're wearing masks.
00:38:11The timestamp says it's from this afternoon, so it can't be...
00:38:14Bruno.
00:38:17He was in my office at that time.
00:38:19I'll send this to the authorities.
00:38:22I'm scared.
00:38:26I'll protect you.
00:38:35Oh, there's my sweet daughter.
00:38:37Hi, darling. How's my mom doing?
00:38:39Hi, Vanessa. Your mother is doing exceptionally well.
00:38:43We couldn't be happier with her results.
00:38:45And as you know, the entire staff loves her.
00:38:48Just trying to make the best of it.
00:38:50Hopefully, this will be her last treatment and send her cancer into remission.
00:38:54The only sad thing is Ms. Porter won't be brightening up our oncology ward anymore.
00:38:59Stop.
00:39:01I'll leave you two.
00:39:05How are you, honey?
00:39:07I'm good. Work's really busy.
00:39:09Well, you always manage to keep a handle on everything.
00:39:12I just can't wait to get out of here.
00:39:14Yeah. Food sucks.
00:39:17Are you okay? You seem a bit distracted.
00:39:20I have to tell you something, Mom. I don't want you to worry.
00:39:23Well, I'm going to worry whether you tell me or not.
00:39:27I think I have a stalker.
00:39:29What?
00:39:30Someone vandalized my car. They wrote a bad word.
00:39:33A magic marker.
00:39:35Well, maybe some vinegar or something will help get rid of it.
00:39:38I know, Mom. I think it was somehow connected to this guy at work.
00:39:41This guy at work, Bruno Lombardi, he has been all over me and it's starting to worry me out.
00:39:47You said Bruno Lombardi? John Lombardi's son?
00:39:54John Lombardi runs a crime family.
00:39:56Yes. And Bruno is quote-unquote heir to that throne.
00:40:02A crime family?
00:40:04Yeah. Your uncle had some run-in with them years ago. They're thugs.
00:40:09And if Bruno is anything like his father, you want to be swiping left, like the kids say.
00:40:13I think he got fired today. What if he blames me for everything?
00:40:17Kids today, they always want to blame somebody else for their issues.
00:40:21They can't take responsibility. But not my baby girl.
00:40:27The Lombardi crime family accused of racketeering drugs. Human trafficking?
00:40:32Apparently, he's still running the crime family from prison.
00:40:37And he's grooming Bruno to take over. They've got some troubles going on.
00:40:42So, honey, please be careful.
00:40:44I have to warn Sebastian. I have to go, Mom. I love you.
00:40:56I love you, too.
00:41:07You need a replacement for the whore-mobile.
00:41:10No, I can't accept this.
00:41:12You have to.
00:41:14I really can't.
00:41:16Then why not?
00:41:18Sebastian, I'm worried.
00:41:21I found out that Bruno has ties to the Mafia.
00:41:23No, our HR fully vetted him.
00:41:26I'm sure there's ways of skirting that.
00:41:28Word is, he's being groomed to become head of the crime family.
00:41:32Then why would he want a job here?
00:41:34I don't know. He could be dangerous.
00:41:36Look, you don't need to worry about that anymore. Because I fired him.
00:41:40That's why I'm worried.
00:41:43Look, I have the best security that money can buy.
00:41:46We don't need to be intimidated by people like Bruno.
00:41:48We need to focus on the good that we can do.
00:41:51And speaking of, I have a charity event that I'd like you to help me out with tonight.
00:41:57Charity?
00:41:59Yes, for cancer research.
00:42:01I would love to.
00:42:03But I don't know.
00:42:05Look, somebody just dropped out last minute. You'd be doing me a big, big favor.
00:42:09It's at the Biltmore Ballroom, 6 p.m. tonight.
00:42:14One condition.
00:42:16Okay.
00:42:18What?
00:42:22You take the car back.
00:42:26Fine.
00:42:28See you tonight.
00:42:33Damn. He is a good negotiator.
00:42:36You must be the new model.
00:42:39You're on stage on 5.
00:42:41On stage?
00:42:43What is this?
00:42:45This is a charity auction. People are going to bid on you for dates.
00:42:48No, no, no, no. I can't do this.
00:42:51Are you kidding? This is going to be fun.
00:42:53And it's for a good cause, girl.
00:42:55We won't miss it.
00:42:57No, no, no. I can't do this.
00:42:59Are you kidding? This is going to be fun.
00:43:01And it's for a good cause, girl.
00:43:03We won't miss it.
00:43:05Don't mind a man bidding on me for a change.
00:43:10Going once. Going twice.
00:43:13And she is sold to that gentleman over there for $500,000 for a special date.

00:43:25Oh.

00:45:46What's her name?
00:45:48Um, anyway, sir, please come up and claim your prize.
00:45:53This is going to be fun.
00:45:57You cannot go out on that date. It could be dangerous.
00:46:01I don't have a choice.
00:46:03You always have a choice.
00:46:05It's in the next room. It's in a controlled space.
00:46:08Why are you doing this?
00:46:10Because he wants me to back out.
00:46:12He wants to make you look bad.
00:46:14I'm doing this for the charity.
00:46:16It's just dinner in public. It'll be fine.
00:46:19Okay. I trust you.
00:46:23I also want to see what Bruno's up to.
00:46:27What's his game plan?
00:46:32You know, for a winning bet of $1 million, you'd think they'd serve better food.
00:46:37I'd rather be home drinking my wine from a box.
00:46:42We have so much in common.
00:46:44I'd rather be at your home, too.
00:46:47What do you want from me?
00:46:49What are you talking about, baby?
00:46:51I just want to get to know you.
00:46:52Oh, I have been very clear.
00:46:55I am not interested.
00:46:58Don't you know who I am?
00:47:00Oh, I know who you think you are.
00:47:04I've paid a lot of money for this date.
00:47:07I can make things very difficult for you and your little boyfriend.
00:47:15You know, this wine ain't that bad.
00:47:19This wine ain't that bad.
00:47:26Where are you going?
00:47:28The date ain't over yet, sweetheart.
00:47:30Can a girl use the restroom?
00:47:43Stop playing games, babe.
00:47:45We know what that $1 million bought me.
00:47:50I'm good, everybody.
00:47:52I'm good.
00:47:58Oh.
00:48:07Knock, knock.
00:48:09Hey, how was the date?
00:48:12And who is this from?
00:48:14From Bruno, with all my love.
00:48:16Thanks for the magical night.
00:48:17Well, I guess that answers that.
00:48:19No, Sebastian, that's...
00:48:21No, no, it's fine.
00:48:23I have some work I need to be doing now.
00:48:34I'm just throwing this out there,
00:48:36but I think I'm entitled to more like 65%.
00:48:41Yeah, yeah, that sounds fine.
00:48:43Fine? Sebastian, that's robbery.
00:48:45Your head isn't in the game.
00:48:47We need to wrap this up
00:48:49so we can send it before Congress
00:48:51and push this merger through soon.
00:48:53A good negotiation
00:48:55is where both parties walk away equally unhappy.
00:48:58And right now, Sebastian,
00:49:00I'm very happy.
00:49:06That's it, Sebastian.
00:49:08I'm done.
00:49:10It's over.
00:49:12Wait, what do you mean it's over?
00:49:13We need a break.
00:49:15Listen, why don't we take a long weekend?
00:49:17You can go home
00:49:19and refocus on this merger,
00:49:21and I can spend some time with my grandkids.
00:49:24We've spent every day at this damn office.
00:49:27We can come back on Tuesday
00:49:29and wrap this thing up.
00:49:31Okay.
00:49:33Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
00:49:35Let me...
00:49:37Everyone, listen up.
00:49:39Everyone can have off for the week with pay.
00:49:42So,
00:49:44do you have any plans for the weekend?
00:49:46How would I?
00:49:48I just found out I have the week off.
00:49:50Well, I'd like to take you to dinner.
00:49:52Sebastian, I...
00:49:54I can't.
00:49:56But thank you.
00:49:58My mom's still in the hospital,
00:50:00so I have to go visit her.
00:50:02Well, maybe she'd like a box of chocolates.
00:50:04Yeah, maybe she would.
00:50:06I'm not sure.
00:50:08I don't know.
00:50:09Maybe she would.
00:50:15Can I come in?
00:50:17Jesus.
00:50:19Fine.
00:50:21I'd love to have a drink, but I can't.
00:50:23Well, no one offered you one.
00:50:25I can't because I'm pregnant.
00:50:27You're pregnant?
00:50:29I don't know how to tell you this, Sebastian,
00:50:31but you're the father.
00:50:33That's impossible.
00:50:35We broke up three months ago.
00:50:40Can't you tell?
00:50:42I'm two months pregnant.
00:50:44No, no, no. I can't be the father.
00:50:46Okay. Well, I have a paternity test
00:50:48and ultrasound that say different.
00:50:51Right there.
00:50:53Well, if this is true,
00:50:55then I'm not the type of man
00:50:57that runs from his responsibilities.
00:51:00That's what I love about you.
00:51:02You're so responsible.
00:51:05You need to go.
00:51:07I need time to think, Ruby.
00:51:09Leave that there.
00:51:11I'll be back.
00:51:13Bye.
00:51:15Bye.
00:51:17Bye.
00:51:19Bye.
00:51:20I need time to think, Ruby.
00:51:22Leave that there for you.
00:51:33I don't know how I'm going to tell Vanessa,
00:51:35but I have to be honest with her.
00:51:37I think we got him.
00:51:41I hope so.
00:51:43You riding whore on her car did nothing.
00:51:45And me leaving those photos that I took
00:51:47when I broke into her house also didn't work.
00:51:48Okay, well, I'm still out too grand
00:51:50for a fake paternity test.
00:51:52I really thought Sebastian hitting me
00:51:54would ruin this merger.
00:51:56Okay, I still want the merger to happen, moron.
00:51:58I just want the divorce to happen after
00:52:00so that I get half.
00:52:02And if that doesn't work, we'll move on to plan C
00:52:04and eliminate Sebastian altogether.
00:52:06I know exactly where he hangs out
00:52:08when he needs time alone.
00:52:10He'll pay for humiliating Elombardi.
00:52:40That is beautiful and delicious.
00:52:45Who's it from?
00:52:47I hope it's not from Bruno.
00:52:49Oh, my God.
00:52:54If you change your mind, I'm here for you.
00:52:57With all my love, Sebastian.
00:53:10It's a plane ticket to Italy.
00:53:16You must go.
00:53:18I'm not leaving you, Mom.
00:53:25Two tickets.
00:53:29Mom, how are you feeling?
00:53:32I'm feeling like I need to see the Italian countryside
00:53:36and eat some authentic Italian.
00:53:39We're going to Italy.
00:53:41Yes.
00:53:54Welcome.
00:53:56Hi.
00:54:00Nice to finally meet you.
00:54:02Oh, lovely to meet you, too.
00:54:04Yeah, come on in.
00:54:07How are you doing?
00:54:09Wonderful.
00:54:11Just wonderful.
00:54:13Thank you so much for bringing my daughter and I out here.
00:54:16And that private jet experience,
00:54:18that is the way to travel.
00:54:20And the food was delicious.
00:54:23What's mine is yours,
00:54:25so feel free to make yourself at home.
00:54:31Mom, where are you going?
00:54:33Are you feeling okay?
00:54:35I'm fine.
00:54:37That's better.
00:54:39Yeah.
00:54:41So I'm just off now to find myself an Italian man.
00:54:43Mom!
00:54:45You are in the right place, then.
00:54:47Do not encourage her.
00:54:50I'm going to leave you guys alone.
00:54:52Enjoy.
00:54:54Well, cheers to that.
00:54:56Cheers to that.
00:55:01I need to come clean.
00:55:04Bruno and I...
00:55:05Look, I don't care about...
00:55:07No, listen. We were never a thing.
00:55:09You and Bruno never had an affair.
00:55:11No, I faked the whole thing.
00:55:13Why?
00:55:15Mike didn't know how to break it off with you.
00:55:17I was afraid I was a distraction.
00:55:20So I lied.
00:55:22And it blew up in my face.
00:55:25Vanessa, I need you to understand something very clearly.
00:55:28I'm not distracted by us together.
00:55:31I'm distracted by our support.
00:55:35Okay.
00:55:46And I also want to be honest with you about something.
00:55:49Ruby told me that she is pregnant and it's mine.
00:55:53What? How?
00:55:55Look, I don't believe her, but I still do need to play this thing right.
00:55:58And I hope that you can trust me on this.
00:56:02Okay.
00:56:04I trust you.
00:56:08I love you.
00:56:14I love you too.
00:56:33I love you.
00:56:59I love you, Vanessa Porter.
00:57:01I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:57:03I love you.
00:57:11I should go check on Mike.
00:57:13Okay.
00:57:15Mom?
00:57:18Mom?
00:57:19Mom?
00:57:33Hello? Who is this?
00:57:35I'm your mother. She will stay safe if you follow my every word.
00:57:39I'll text instructions to this phone.
00:57:41If you alert the authorities, your mother will be killed.
00:57:45I'm coming for you, Mom.
00:57:49This is the address.
00:57:52Vanessa.
00:57:54Glad you made it.
00:57:56Looks like you brought your little boyfriend.
00:58:05He is a good boss.
00:58:08So is she.
00:58:10Let's go inside.
00:58:14Look at you two. Wow.
00:58:16The perfect couple.
00:58:17What do you want, Bruno?
00:58:19I'll do the questioning.
00:58:21That's what people with guns get to do.
00:58:24We could have been a great team, but you had to blow it all for some trim.
00:58:29Just tell me why.
00:58:31Shh.
00:58:33I always hated guys like you, Sebastian.
00:58:35Bootstrap guys.
00:58:37That's why I'm going to love letting you drive for everything you've worked for.
00:58:43I want your entire fortune.
00:58:45You son of a bitch.
00:58:48Calm down, Sebastian.
00:58:50You don't want to end up under the sea.
00:58:58Fine.
00:59:01For Teresa.
00:59:03We just need to know that she's alive.
00:59:10Mom!
00:59:12It's okay.
00:59:15Mom, it's okay.
00:59:17It's okay.
00:59:21There's your proof of life.
00:59:23Transfer the money to this address using this phone.
00:59:28Come on.
00:59:34I'm so sorry that this is happening.
00:59:36This is all my fault.
00:59:41This is going to wipe you out.
00:59:45It doesn't matter.
00:59:47As long as you and your mother are safe,
00:59:50I can always make my money back, but I need you by my side.
00:59:59Ka-ching.
01:00:01Thanks for the money.
01:00:03But you didn't really think I'd let your mom go, did you?
01:00:15Oh my...
01:00:18Ruby, you killed him!
01:00:20Oh, whoopsies.
01:00:22I'm such a klutz.
01:00:24Guess I won't be sharing that money after all.
01:00:29What, honey?
01:00:31You play chess.
01:00:33You know the pawns always die.
01:00:35Hands up!
01:00:39Why are you doing this?
01:00:41I gave you everything.
01:00:42Why?
01:00:44Because you left me!
01:00:46Nobody leaves me.
01:00:48I get everything I've always wanted.
01:00:51You know exactly why.
01:00:55When I met you, you were nothing.
01:00:58The only reason you married me was for my family name, for my clout.
01:01:02You used me to climb the social ladder.
01:01:05Then once you got to the top, you dropped me.
01:01:08And what you think this whore can replace me?
01:01:12You're wrong.
01:01:14I married you for what I thought was out of love.
01:01:17But then I quickly realized that all you ever cared about was material shit.
01:01:22And I tried to prove to you that we can't have it all.
01:01:24We could.
01:01:26Spare me, Mr. Perfect, please.
01:01:29I really can't.
01:01:37No, no.
01:01:42Oopsies.
01:01:44Sorry, my little mouse.
01:01:46It won't happen again.
01:01:48Ruby, you can fix all of this.
01:01:50All you need to do is let Teresa go.
01:01:53Fix this?
01:01:55Yes.
01:01:57This is beyond repair, my dear husband.
01:01:59Revenge, retribution, whatever you want to call it.
01:02:02I finally have the power.
01:02:07Fuck you, bitch!
01:02:09Most dads give their girls jewelry.
01:02:12But not my dad.
01:02:14I used to think guns were scary.
01:02:16But in the right hand, they're quite beautiful.
01:02:19We could have been great, Sebastian.
01:02:22But you had to go ahead and ruin it all!
01:02:24Shut the fuck up, Ruby!
01:02:28I'm gonna kill you both.
01:02:30And when the police get here, they'll find me laying on the ground, covered in blood, screaming,
01:02:34Help me!
01:02:36Help me!
01:02:38And I'll blame it on that mafia moron.
01:02:44Drop it!
01:03:04No!
01:03:12Are you okay?
01:03:14Yeah, I'm okay, honey.
01:03:16I need you to come and get me.
01:03:18But next time, can we go to Paris, please?
01:03:21Okay.
01:03:23Miss Porter, I'm Detective Colombo.
01:03:26We've been monitoring the Lombardi crime family for several months now.
01:03:28And we have all the information we need to indict Ruby and Bruno on an extortion plot.
01:03:33But how?
01:03:35We had somebody on the inside.
01:03:40You're a cop?
01:03:42Yep. Department of Justice undercover.
01:03:45The merger made us look into a possible crime link with Armstrong Enterprises.
01:03:49Turns out, Sebastian is legit. He just hired the wrong people.
01:03:52Luckily, Interpol connects me to the Talon case at just the right time.
01:03:56I would have never guessed.
01:03:58Guess those late-night wine sessions were just research, huh?
01:04:01Getting to be your friend was just one of the benefits.
01:04:04Oh, one more thing. Mr. Armstrong, your money's secure.
01:04:09We made sure the transfer didn't go through.
01:04:18And in business news, the Congress has approved the Bastion Enterprise merger.
01:04:23CEO Sebastian Armstrong is now the richest man in the world.
01:04:25This merger is a non-presented green deal.
01:04:28They have agreed to convert 70% of their carbon-producing plants into renewable energy power plants.
01:04:37Cheers to Teresa being cancer-free for six months.
01:04:45And cheers to Vanessa.
01:04:49For her hopefully making me the happiest man on earth.
01:04:53Oh my God.
01:04:58Will you marry me?
01:05:04Yes.
01:05:13I promise to love you forever.
01:05:16I promise to love you forever.
01:05:23I love you.
