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

01:03:23Good evening, everyone.
01:03:25I want to, before we get started,
01:03:27thank two people
01:03:29who, without their help,
01:03:31none of this would have happened tonight.
01:03:33My assistant, Ariel,
01:03:35and my girlfriend, Valentina.
01:03:41Not sure where they are right now,
01:03:43but I want to thank them
01:03:45for having my back.
01:03:49Hi, Ada.
01:03:51Oh, hi.
01:03:53You haven't seen Valentina
01:03:55around, have you?
01:03:57I wanted to try to find her so she could watch Blaine's speech.
01:03:59Valentina is sick
01:04:01and Ariel
01:04:03was helping her get medicine.
01:04:05Oh, okay.
01:04:09You look really pretty,
01:04:11by the way.
01:04:13Thanks.
01:04:15You look really pretty, too.
01:04:39All right, time to find this code.
01:04:47Oh.
01:04:59Blaine mentioned
01:05:01something I said?
01:05:03What the heck did I say?
01:05:07The paintings.
01:05:17So,
01:05:19tonight,
01:05:21I'm pledging $10 million
01:05:23to help research
01:05:25cures for illnesses and disorders

01:05:29Thank you all for coming.

01:06:51you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing
01:06:53in the world.
01:06:57He wasn't talking about the painting.
01:07:01He was talking about me.
01:07:07I'm sorry.
01:07:09I'm sorry.
01:07:11I'm sorry.
01:07:13I'm sorry.

01:07:45Okay.
01:08:05Okay.
01:08:09Think, Ariel.
01:08:15Think, Ariel.
01:08:23What could the numbers be?
01:08:25It couldn't be our first date,
01:08:27could it?
01:08:45I've got the code.
01:08:47Excellent, darling.
01:08:49I'll give it to you after the ball.
01:08:51Or you could give it to me now.
01:08:55Flora?
01:09:01What are you doing here?
01:09:03I have a way of being places
01:09:05I'm not supposed to be.
01:09:07Just like you.
01:09:09I'm not supposed to be here.
01:09:11I'm not supposed to be here.
01:09:13I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be.
01:09:15Just like you, apparently.
01:09:19The code, darling.
01:09:25The future.
01:09:27In the palm of my hand.
01:09:31I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:09:33Blaine's a good man.
01:09:37You're awful.
01:09:39He's rich, darling. He'll get over it.
01:09:41Mom? And her surgery?
01:09:43I've been accused of many things.
01:09:45But I always keep my word.
01:09:49Now, go and celebrate.
01:09:51You deserve it, darling.
01:10:11Valentina.
01:10:13Hi, darling.
01:10:15There you are.
01:10:17How are you feeling?
01:10:19Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:10:21Excellent.
01:10:23Care to dance?
01:10:25Certainly.
01:10:29Well, well.
01:10:31Well, well.
01:10:35Look at me.
01:10:37Well, well.
01:10:41Look at the happy couple.
01:10:49How did you get in?
01:10:51Oh, I have my ways.
01:10:53We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:10:55Anyway.
01:10:59I just came here to congratulate you
01:11:01on your little event.
01:11:03You need to leave.
01:11:05See, I don't think I do.
01:11:07Because I don't think you know
01:11:09who your little girlfriend is.
01:11:11She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:11:13No, no, no.
01:11:15There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:11:17What?
01:11:19If only your little assistant
01:11:21had assisted you
01:11:23in researching her.
01:11:25You know, it's funny.
01:11:27I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:11:29Blaine, don't listen to him.
01:11:31What is he talking about?
01:11:33Yeah, she may have fooled
01:11:35everyone in here.
01:11:37But an ex-boyfriend
01:11:39never forgets a butt.
01:11:53Ariel?
01:12:03This whole time
01:12:05you've been Valentina?
01:12:07That's right.
01:12:09This whole time
01:12:11you pretended to care about me.
01:12:13But you're just a liar.
01:12:15And worse.
01:12:17She's poor.
01:12:19Why?
01:12:21Yes, Ariel.
01:12:23But why?
01:12:25I'm so sorry.
01:12:27Ariel. Ariel, wait.
01:12:29How embarrassing.
01:12:33You know,
01:12:35I looked into you.
01:12:37You're in so much debt that it's surprising
01:12:39that you can even rent the Lambo
01:12:41that you drove here.
01:12:43How preposterous.
01:12:45If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:12:47Ew.
01:12:49You're poor?
01:12:51Regina!
01:12:57You're my hero.
01:12:59Thanks.
01:13:01I just gotta tell her.
01:13:03You know?
01:13:07Ariel!
01:13:17What are you smiling about?
01:13:19I mean, come on.
01:13:21This proves it, right?
01:13:23He's a joke.
01:13:25No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:13:27He's a liability, Richard.
01:13:29And you are giving him the company
01:13:31with the luxury of not having to deal with this shit show
01:13:33because you won't be alive much longer.
01:13:35Oh, well, don't bet on that.
01:13:37You know, you've got a lot of nerve
01:13:39talking to me like this, kid.
01:13:41You've got a lot of nerve
01:13:43letting this ship go down
01:13:45when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:13:47I should be running this company!
01:13:49Or...
01:13:51Is this what success looks like to you?
01:13:53Look, I'm not whore.
01:13:55I don't want to hear it.
01:13:57I do not want to hear it.
01:13:59You lied to me.
01:14:01Not only did you lie to me,
01:14:03but you embarrassed me in there.
01:14:05That is fair.
01:14:11Regina!
01:14:23Regina!
01:14:37That was a disaster.
01:14:41I just don't understand.
01:14:43Why would she go through all that?
01:14:45I don't know.
01:14:47But, uh...
01:14:49These scandals are exhausting.
01:14:51Yeah.
01:14:53I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:14:57Right.
01:15:01I got a lot to think about.
01:15:03What do you mean?
01:15:05I mean we may have to take the company
01:15:07in a complete different direction
01:15:09if we're gonna gain back the public's trust.
01:15:11You can't be serious.
01:15:13No?
01:15:15Something better happen soon or...
01:15:17I guess much worse.
01:15:21Did she want anything from you?
01:15:23I don't know, Martina.
01:15:25Nothing valuable?
01:15:27Martina, I said I don't...
01:15:45No!
01:15:57No!
01:16:07Ariel.
01:16:09Baby.
01:16:11You look like you had a rough night.
01:16:13It was a disaster, really.
01:16:15I feel awful.
01:16:17Oh.
01:16:19I'm so sorry to hear that, baby.
01:16:21Thanks, Mom.
01:16:23Well, I have something to tell you.
01:16:25Dr. Westfall called.
01:16:27Are you okay?
01:16:29What's going on?
01:16:31He said
01:16:33that an anonymous donor
01:16:35sent in the funds for me to have my operation.
01:16:37What?
01:16:39I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.
01:16:41Oh, my God.
01:16:45Mom, I'm so happy.
01:16:47I think this calls
01:16:49for my famous chocolate cake.
01:16:51I agree.
01:17:27It's time to celebrate.
01:17:31To the future, darling.
01:17:39Drink.
01:17:41You've worked much too hard
01:17:43not to revel in your victory.
01:17:47There it is.
01:17:49Doesn't our little prize
01:17:51look nice?
01:17:53People walk in and out of my office
01:17:55having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:17:59Of course, I won't be able to enjoy
01:18:01this much longer since
01:18:03my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:18:05I guess I just feel bad.
01:18:07To get what you want in life,
01:18:09sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:18:11Break the rules a little.
01:18:15I guess.
01:18:17Ask any CEO
01:18:19and they'll agree,
01:18:21including your little boy toy.
01:18:23Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:18:25Well, anyway,
01:18:27speaking of money,
01:18:29let's get that surgery paid for,
01:18:31shall we?
01:18:33What? All I need is your wiring info
01:18:35and I can send it on over.
01:18:37I trust that the
01:18:39original estimate hasn't changed?
01:18:41I'm sorry.
01:18:43You haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:18:45No.
01:18:47That's why we're here, isn't it?
01:18:51Darling.
01:18:59Hey.
01:19:19Alright.
01:19:21One more drink and we'll start packing up my things.
01:19:25Deal. One more.
01:19:29Anna.
01:19:31Hi, Mr. Arlington. May I come in?
01:19:33Sure. Come on in.
01:19:35Hi, cutie.
01:19:39Care for a drink?
01:19:41Oh, no. I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:19:43Wait, what was that?
01:19:45Mr. Arlington, I have a delivery for you.
01:19:47From who?
01:19:49Ariel.
01:19:53From who?
01:19:55Ariel.
01:19:57Anna, take it back.
01:19:59She said you might say that,
01:20:01but she said that it was very, very important.
01:20:03How important?
01:20:05I don't know,
01:20:07but she did say that it was something
01:20:09so important that she only trusted me
01:20:11to deliver it, so it must be a big deal.
01:20:27Oh, my God.
01:20:29Oh, my God!
01:20:31Ew! What's happening?
01:20:33What's going on? What does this mean?
01:20:53Oh, Flora.
01:20:55Your appointment had to leave early.
01:20:57I asked if they wanted a schedule, but they said no.
01:20:59I didn't have an appointment
01:21:01scheduled for today.
01:21:03What was the name?
01:21:05Valentina Kingsley?
01:21:25You're rich.
01:21:27You'll get over it,
01:21:29darling.
01:21:45What's going on?
01:21:47What does this mean?
01:21:49Thank you
01:21:51for everything.
01:21:57Hannah, did you want to help me
01:21:59with that thing?
01:22:01Yes, let's do that.
01:22:09Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:22:15Lane!
01:22:17Lane,
01:22:19there's no easy way for me to say this,
01:22:23but it's time.
01:22:33But it's time
01:22:39to celebrate.
01:22:41Oh!
01:22:45You are going to regret this.
01:22:47I promise you that.
01:22:53Jeez, what did you do?
01:22:55I don't know, girl,
01:22:57but the way she wears that dress,
01:22:59she can step on me any day.
01:23:03See? I knew you could do it.
01:23:05I knew it!
01:23:07You know,
01:23:09your dad would be so proud of you.
01:23:21Dr. Westfall.
01:23:23Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:23:25Is surgery over? How did it go?
01:23:27Yes, we just finished.
01:23:29There were complications.
01:23:31Complications?
01:23:33Yes, but we were able to work through them
01:23:35and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:23:37I can tell you that, yes.
01:23:39In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:23:41She's going to need to rest for a few hours,
01:23:43but when she wakes up,
01:23:45she's going to feel better than she has in a long time.
01:23:47I can't thank you enough.
01:23:49I'm happy to help.
01:24:29Come in, come in.
01:24:31Welcome.
01:24:37Ariel!
01:24:39Mom, why didn't you let me out of bed?
01:24:41The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:24:43I know, I know,
01:24:45but I saw this cute guy through the window
01:24:47and I got kind of excited.
01:24:51Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:24:53No, thank you, but thank you.
01:24:55Oh, thank you.
01:24:57Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:24:59Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:25:01Oh, of course.
01:25:03Of course.
01:25:05I'll just be right over here.
01:25:07Don't mind me.
01:25:17I'm so, so sorry.
01:25:19I, uh...
01:25:21I understand why you did it.
01:25:25And you gave me the drive back,
01:25:27so there's no need to apologize.
01:25:29Thank you for everything.
01:25:33I don't even know where to start.
01:25:37I'm not looking for an apology.
01:25:39You're not?
01:25:41No.
01:25:43See, I'm still CEO,
01:25:45and I need an assistant.
01:25:47And you're kind of the best in town.
01:25:51I accept.
01:25:53And, uh...
01:25:57still looking for a girlfriend?
01:26:00Well,
01:26:02if you're open to it,
01:26:04I'd love to apply.
01:26:19I love you, Valentina.
01:26:21I mean, Ariel.
01:26:23That's gonna take some getting used to.
01:26:25There aren't any
01:26:27starry rooftop views here,
01:26:29but this is my special place.
01:26:33It's even better.
