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

00:54:25Have you seen Valentina?
00:54:27No, I don't think so.
00:54:29About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:54:33Um, no.
00:54:34No, I don't think so.
00:54:36In fact...
00:54:37What?
00:54:39Nothing.
00:54:40It's ridiculous.
00:54:42I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me, that would be great.
00:54:47I'll get right on that.
00:54:49Bye.
00:54:50Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.
00:55:02Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:55:04Okay.
00:55:07You can do this.
00:55:10Oh, hi Ariel.
00:55:13Uh, you must be mistaken, love.
00:55:16I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:55:19Yeah, okay.
00:55:22Ariel.
00:55:24No, seriously.
00:55:25My name is Valentina Kingsley and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:55:29Oh, I get it.
00:55:31It's like one of those improv games or something.
00:55:34No, no, no.
00:55:35No game.
00:55:36My name is...
00:55:37Who else should I be?
00:55:38Just be yourself.
00:55:42I'm the Queen of England.
00:55:46You can really tell it's me?
00:55:48Yeah, but...
00:55:49I mean, I can be very observant.
00:55:52Really?
00:55:53Mm-hmm.
00:55:54Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:55:58Okay.
00:55:59Can I ask why?
00:56:01Well, it's really complicated.
00:56:03Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:56:08Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:56:11Yeah, sure.
00:56:12Aw.
00:56:13Well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:56:20Yeah, thanks.
00:56:21I'm gonna need it.
00:56:33Ah, there you are, darling.
00:56:45Ah, Valentina.
00:56:46I'm so glad to see you.
00:56:48Look at this place.
00:56:50I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:56:53I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:56:55Of course.
00:56:57You're doing a speech, I see.
00:56:58Oh, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:57:01They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:57:03You make me feel so confident.
00:57:07I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:57:16Of course.
00:57:18Okay, perfect.
00:57:20Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside.
00:57:22I must go speak with her.
00:57:24Valentina, I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:57:30Yes, I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:57:36Great.
00:57:37Where would this be taking place?
00:57:39In the study or?
00:57:41Upstairs.
00:57:42Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:57:44Ah, I see.
00:57:48You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:57:55What the heck did I say?
00:57:57I'll give you a hint.
00:57:58If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:58:02I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:58:09Good luck, darling.
00:58:10Excuse me.
00:58:34What are you doing in here?
00:58:35Excuse me.
00:58:42What are you doing in here?
00:58:44Um...
00:58:45And who are you?
00:58:47Oh, um, uh...
00:58:49Um, I, I, um...
00:58:53You look lost.
00:58:55I am, darling.
00:58:57I am lost.
00:58:58I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:59:04Grandfather?
00:59:05Yes?
00:59:05This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:59:10Oh, yes, yes.
00:59:12From the, uh, front page of the, the Times.
00:59:14Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:59:16Hope it was all good things.
00:59:18Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.
00:59:24And I trust that Blaine is, uh, treating you respectfully, like a lady.
00:59:32He is.
00:59:33Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.
00:59:36If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.
00:59:42Right.
00:59:43Good thing.
00:59:43Shall we return to the party?
00:59:48Yes, we shall.
00:59:49Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
00:59:52You too, sir.
00:59:53Mm-hmm.
01:00:13You seem quiet.
01:00:16Is everything all right?
01:00:17Everything's fine, darling.
01:00:20Hey, Valentina.
01:00:21I have a girl question for you.
01:00:27Oh, my God, for the love of God.
01:00:30You clearly have a crush on Hannah.
01:00:31Just ask her to dance.
01:00:33You just met me, you can already tell?
01:00:35Yes.
01:00:37You read me like a book.
01:00:39I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:00:41You're really inquisitive.
01:00:42In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:00:46Would you?
01:00:47That would be great.
01:00:49Dude.
01:00:54Hannah, I need a favor.
01:00:56Anything.
01:00:57When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
01:01:00If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
01:01:02And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.
01:01:07Got it.
01:01:09Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:01:12Really?
01:01:13Ah!
01:01:14Sorry.
01:01:15When?
01:01:16Tonight.
01:01:17Oh, right.
01:01:18It's a ball.
01:01:18Yeah.
01:01:19It's time, brother.
01:01:26It's time, brother.
01:01:40You ready?
01:01:41It's ready as I'll ever be.
01:01:42All right.
01:01:42Thank you for coming tonight.
01:01:47Thank you for coming tonight.
01:01:49It means a lot.
01:01:51Of course.
01:01:53You're going to be amazing.
01:01:54Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.
01:02:04It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend, your CEO of Ellington Incorporated,
01:02:13Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:02:15Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:02:20Good evening, everyone.
01:02:21I want to, uh, before we get started, thank two people who, without their help, none of
01:02:29this would have happened tonight.
01:02:30My assistant Ariel and my girlfriend, Valentina.
01:02:34Uh, not sure where they are right now, but I want to thank them for having my back.
01:02:48Hi, Anna.
01:02:50Oh, hi.
01:02:51You haven't, uh, seen Valentina around, have you?
01:02:54I wanted to try to find her so she can watch Blaine's speech.
01:02:58Valentina is sick, and Ariel was helping her get medicine.
01:03:02Oh, okay.
01:03:06Um, you look, you look really pretty, by the way.
01:03:11Thanks.
01:03:12You look really pretty, too.
01:03:32All right, time to find this code.
01:03:57Blaine mentioned something I said?
01:03:59What the heck did I say?
01:04:04The paintings.
01:04:05So, tonight, I'm pledging $10 million to help research cures for illnesses and disorders
01:04:28unknown.
01:04:28Thank you all for coming.
01:04:31I hope to see you on the dance floor.
01:04:32I'm sorry, Mom.
01:04:54I failed you.
01:04:56Tind them.
01:05:17I'll see you.
01:05:17Bye-bye.
01:05:18Bye-bye.
01:05:20Bye-bye.
01:05:21Bye-bye.
01:05:24I'll give you a hint.
01:05:28If you were to look for it,
01:05:30you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
01:05:35He wasn't talking about the painting.
01:05:40He was talking about me.
01:05:54He was talking about me.
01:06:24He was talking about me.
01:06:31Okay.
01:06:36Think, Ariel.
01:06:48What could the numbers be?
01:06:51It couldn't be our first date, could it?
01:06:54I've got the code.
01:07:22Excellent, darling.
01:07:24I'll give it to you after the ball.
01:07:26Or you could give it to me now.
01:07:30Flora?
01:07:35What are you doing here?
01:07:37I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be.
01:07:40Just like you, apparently.
01:07:44The code, darling.
01:07:49The future.
01:07:52In the palm of my hand.
01:07:54I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.

01:08:02You're awful.
01:08:03He's rich, darling.
01:08:04He'll get over it.

01:14:03Ariel, baby.
01:14:33Oh, you look like you had a rough night.
01:14:37It was a disaster, really.
01:14:39I feel awful.
01:14:41Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, baby.
01:14:45Thanks, Mom.
01:14:47Well, I have something to tell you.
01:14:50Dr. Westfall calls.
01:14:52Are you okay? What's going on?
01:14:54He said that an anonymous donor sent in the funds for me to have my operation.
01:15:01What?
01:15:01I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.
01:15:04Oh, my God.
01:15:06Mom.
01:15:09Mom, I'm so happy.
01:15:11I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake.
01:15:15I agree.
01:15:16I agree.
01:15:16I agree.
01:15:50It's time to celebrate.
01:15:55To the future, darling.
01:16:03Drink. You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:16:10There it is.
01:16:12Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:16:16People walk in and out of my office, having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:16:22Of course, I won't be able to enjoy too much longer, since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:16:28I guess I just feel bad.
01:16:30To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:16:35Break the rules a little.
01:16:39I guess.
01:16:41Ask any CEO, and they'll agree, including your little boy toy.
01:16:47Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:16:49Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:16:56What?
01:16:57All I need is your wiring info, and I can send it on over.
01:17:01I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed?
01:17:05I'm sorry, you haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:17:09No, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:17:15Darlene?
01:17:25Darlene?
01:17:26All right.
01:17:42One more drink, and we'll start packing up my things.
01:17:47Deal.
01:17:47One more.
01:17:53Anna.
01:17:54Hi, Mr. Ellington.
01:17:55May I come in?
01:17:55Sure.
01:17:56Come on in.
01:17:58Hi, cutie.
01:18:02Care for a drink?
01:18:03Oh, no.
01:18:04I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:18:06Wait, what was that?
01:18:07Mr. Ellington, I have a delivery for you.
01:18:10From who?
01:18:12Ariel.
01:18:17From who?
01:18:18Ariel.
01:18:20I don't want it.
01:18:21Take it back.
01:18:22She said you might say that,
01:18:24but she said that it was very, very important.
01:18:27How important?
01:18:29I don't know, but she did say that it was something so important that she only trusted me to deliver it,
01:18:35so it must be a big deal.
01:18:37Oh, my God.
01:18:50Oh, my God.
01:18:53Oh, my God.
01:18:54Ew, what's happening?
01:18:56What's going on?
01:18:57What does this mean?
01:18:58Oh, Flora?
01:19:17Yes, darling?
01:19:19Your appointment had to leave early.
01:19:21I asked if they wanted to schedule, but they said no.
01:19:23I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:19:26What was the name?
01:19:30Valentina Kingsley?
01:19:31You're rich.
01:19:52You'll get over it, darling.
01:19:54Darling.
01:19:54What's going on?
01:20:11What does this mean?
01:20:16Thank you for everything.
01:20:18Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh, that one, the thing?
01:20:27Yes, yes, let's, uh, let's do that.
01:20:34Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:20:42Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this.
01:20:45But, but it's time, but it's time, but it's time, to celebrate.
01:21:04Oh, my God.
01:21:09You are going to regret this.
01:21:11I promise you that.
01:21:15Geez, what did you do?
01:21:19I don't know, girl, but the way she wears that dress, she can step on me any day.
01:21:27I see.
01:21:27I knew you could do it.
01:21:29I knew it.
01:21:30You know, your dad would be so proud of you.
01:21:35Dr. Westfall.
01:21:47Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:21:48Is surgery over?
01:21:49How did it go?
01:21:50Yes, we just finished.
01:21:51Um, there were complications.
01:21:53Complications?
01:21:53Yes, but we were able to work through them, and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:21:59Really?
01:22:00Yeah, really, yes.
01:22:02In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:22:04She's going to need to rest for a few hours, but when she wakes up, she's going to feel better
01:22:08than she has in a long time.
01:22:10I can't thank you enough.
01:22:11I'm happy to help.
01:22:12I'm happy to help.
01:22:42Come in, come in.
01:22:56Welcome.
01:23:01Ariel.
01:23:03Mom, why didn't you hang out of bed?
01:23:05The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:23:07I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window,
01:23:11and I got kind of excited.
01:23:15Are you hungry?
01:23:16Thirsty?
01:23:17No, thank you, but thank you.
01:23:18Oh, thank you.
01:23:20Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:23:22Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:23:26Oh, of course.
01:23:29I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:23:41I'm so, so sorry.
01:23:43I, uh...
01:23:44I understand why you did it.
01:23:48And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:23:53Thank you for everything.
01:23:56I...
01:23:56I don't even know where to start.
01:23:58I'm not looking for an apology.
01:24:04You're not?
01:24:05No.
01:24:07See, I'm still CEO, and I need an assistant.
01:24:11And you're kind of the best in town.
01:24:14I accept.
01:24:18And, uh...
01:24:20You're still looking for a girlfriend?
01:24:25Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:24:30I love you, Valentina.
01:24:45I mean, Ariel.
01:24:48That's gonna take some getting used to.
01:24:51There aren't any starry rooftop views here.
01:24:55But...
01:24:56This is my special place.
01:24:59It's even better.
