00:00:00Hey, this is Richard Allenton, I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message.
00:00:15Hey Grandpa, it's one thing to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody-two-shoe
00:00:21women, but to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind
00:00:28date, that's low. Let's hope this one's different. I don't even know what to say to this guy.
00:00:37I don't know how to talk to rich people. Be sexy. Darling, just act better than everyone
00:00:45else in the room. And being sexy is easy. Bite your lip, push up the girls. It works
00:00:52every time. Wait, what about girls? And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily. So
00:00:58challenge them, be bold, and put them on the spot. I don't think I can do this. The sooner
00:01:05you steal the code for Allenton's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your mother's surgery.
00:01:10It's your call.
00:01:22Are you going to stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:01:45Of course.
00:01:53Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you. You're so...
00:02:00Rich? Sexy?
00:02:03Frankly, yes. Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:10Valentina Kingsley. And you are?
00:02:13Blaine Allenton, CEO of Allenton Incorporated.
00:02:18And this is a successful company? It's not ringing any bells.
00:02:23Waiter?
00:02:25Yes, Mr. Allenton.
00:02:27You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:02:30Yes, of course.
00:02:32If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:02:34It's $60,000 per bottle, sir. You want two?
00:02:39Actually, I'm pretty thirsty. Better bring three.
00:02:44Yes, of course. Right away, sir.
00:02:51And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:02:55I invest.
00:02:57In what?
00:02:59In everything. What am I not investing in? Businesses, charities...
00:03:09I see. And you live in the city?
00:03:14The hills. My yacht. My private island. I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:23You're so impressive. So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:29Doesn't surprise me. I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:37Um, you've got a little, uh...
00:03:48Kurt?
00:03:49Kurt? What's my manager doing here?
00:03:53Blaine!
00:03:56My business dinner just ended. The presentation for the China branch.
00:03:59Looking good. Amazing. You're the best, Kurt.
00:04:02Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two. Just wanted to say hi.
00:04:06Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:08Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:10Ah, classic.
00:04:12All right, well, you two have fun.
00:04:20I've got to be honest with you.
00:04:23You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.
00:04:27Would you like to come to my place?
00:04:30I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:04:33Absolutely, darling.
00:04:41Whoa.
00:04:43Welcome to my home. After you.
00:05:02Oh, my.
00:05:11Do you like what you see?
00:05:14You're getting there, darling.
00:05:16Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:19Well, then, shall we get started?
00:05:25Uh, not so fast.
00:05:28Okay, a little foreplay?
00:05:31I did not think this through at all.
00:05:33How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:05:38Looking for something?
00:05:40Oh, um...
00:05:43Ah.
00:05:45I should have known that was your style.
00:05:48Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:51Ugh, I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:05:54I'm not used to being the one tied up. It's usually the other way around.
00:05:59Valentina?
00:06:01Patience, darling. I'm building the suspense.
00:06:05Ah, I see.
00:06:07Ugh, where could it be?
00:06:09Right. And you say guys actually like this?
00:06:13Oh, yes. It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:06:19Oh, yes, darling. I'm building the suspense.
00:06:23Ah, I see.
00:06:25Ugh, where could it be?
00:06:27France.
00:06:31How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:37That's... that's new.
00:06:42The painting! Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:06:45Oh, uh, sorry. This painting caught my eye.
00:06:49It looks exactly like the one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:06:55That's where I keep my safe.
00:06:57People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:07:01I thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:03Uh, no, it's quite popular.
00:07:06Where do you hide your luxurious safe keepings?
00:07:11In a super, super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:15Ugh, come on.
00:07:18Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?
00:07:22Oh, uh, most unfortunate.
00:07:24I'm getting the utmost important business call, and I must take it.
00:07:29Right now? What? What about me?
00:07:33Valentina!
00:07:37Wait! Untie me!
00:07:44Ew. Really, Blaine?
00:07:47What?
00:07:49You and your models.
00:07:52Last night was not a model. I was actually impressed.
00:07:57Did I hear right? Blaine actually had a date he liked?
00:08:02It was fantastic. The other girls are so boring.
00:08:06But this one, she'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.
00:08:22Grandfather, listen to him.
00:08:25He's not ready to be the face of Ellington. I am much more qualified.
00:08:31I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:08:34No, no, no, no.
00:08:36Look, you two agree we're right where you are, right?
00:08:40You weren't meant to be some CEO.
00:08:43No, but Blaine, Blaine 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.
00:08:57Yeah, yeah, thanks.
00:09:05Hello?
00:09:06How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:10To perfection.
00:09:13Charity has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:15It won't be long until he flips up.
00:09:17And I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:22Brilliant. It's all coming together perfectly.
00:09:25And the VR tech you're developing.
00:09:27It'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?
00:09:30Oh yes, it'll be ready.
00:09:32Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:09:43I can't stop thinking about this girl from last night.
00:09:47What's he doing here?
00:09:49Speaking of girls, I think I know who would be perfect as your new assistant.
00:09:54Sorry.
00:09:55I'm fine.
00:09:58Ariel.
00:09:59How does he know my name?
00:10:01You dropped your badge.
00:10:09There you go.
00:10:11Thanks.
00:10:17She's amazing.
00:10:22Are 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 my mom off at the hospital.
00:10:28Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:10:30Wait, oh my god, is she okay?
00:10:32Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:10:33She's just getting some tests done.
00:10:35Oh, thank goodness.
00:10:37Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:10:39Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:10:42Are you gonna apply?
00:10:43I'm good where I am.
00:10:44All 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'm the new CEO.
00:11:13I will try my best to live up to my father,
00:11:16but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:11:20And since he is adjusting to this new role,
00:11:23I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:11:26Not me, not me, not me.
00:11:28Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:11:36All right, everyone, back to work.
00:11:44You look exactly like...
00:11:48Oh, 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.
00:12:07When do I start?
00:12:09Perfect.
00:12:10First thing I need help with,
00:12:12is 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,
00:12:29so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:12:32Great.
00:12:38Hmm, new number, huh?
00:12:43Hello?
00:12:44Hello, Ariel, this is Dr. Westphal.
00:12:46We just got your mother's results.
00:12:52It'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.
00:13:13Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:15I just finished dinner.
00:13:17Mom, you should be in bed.
00:13:19Honey, I'm fine.
00:13:21Besides, you've been working all day.
00:13:22You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:13:24Mom, please.
00:13:25Honey, sit down.
00:13:37The doctor called.
00:13:39He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:40He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:41Hush, hush, hush.
00:13:43None of that talk, okay?
00:13:45Mom, eat before your food gets cold.
00:13:56I'll be right back.
00:14:04It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:07Are you ready?
00:14:09Yeah.
00:14:12Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:15I'll make it to go.
00:14:32Oh, where am I?
00:14:35Valentina!
00:14:37Blaine!
00:14:39Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:14:42Do you intend to have me killed?
00:14:44No, not at all.
00:14:46This place is special.
00:14:48Follow me.
00:14:50Follow me.
00:15:02How many more?
00:15:04We're almost there. Come on.
00:15:21Wow.
00:15:31Did you look at that view?
00:15:35I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:15:37Just you, actually.
00:15:39I discovered this place after my father died.
00:15:43Your family died?
00:15:45Yeah.
00:15:46And I've been thrown into the CEO position,
00:15:49and I'm a bit in over my head,
00:15:53so I never really get a chance to myself,
00:15:55except when I come here.
00:16:00I'm so sorry.
00:16:07My mom is sick.
00:16:12She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:17So I know how it feels to want to get away.
00:16:22Yeah.
00:16:24I'm used to getting everything,
00:16:27but this is one thing that money can't buy.
00:16:32I'm so sorry about your mom.
00:16:34Thanks.
00:16:37She's all I've got.
00:16:39I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:16:47Hey, who's out here?
00:16:52What's happening?
00:16:54Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:16:56What?
00:16:57Run.
00:17:06Hey!
00:17:09Still.
00:17:17What was that?
00:17:19That was fun.
00:17:21Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:17:24No, I suppose not.
00:17:28I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:17:32I 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. I'm supposed to be Valentina.
00:17:43Valentina, I can't do this to him.
00:17:49But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.
00:17:53I'd love to.
00:17:58Well, well, well.
00:18:01Martina, what are you doing here?
00:18:04I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:18:08Had 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.
00:18:16Is that so?
00:18:18Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:18:20That's right.
00:18:22Wow. What's she like?
00:18:24She's funny, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable.
00:18:30She's the whole package.
00:18:32Sounds like one that Dad actually would have approved of.
00:18:35I'd love to meet her.
00:18:37Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington. Is this a bad time?
00:18:40No, not at all. My sister just came to visit.
00:18:43Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:18:46Martina, nice to meet you.
00:18:48Likewise.
00:18:50Glad to see my brother has someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:18:53Don't you worry. I 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. I've got the codes right here on this drive.
00:19:08And I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:22Glad to hear you're doing that. I have wasted enough time.
00:19:28Now you know exactly where it is.
00:19:30Get it.
00:19:34Alright, where's that drive?
00:19:41Are you kidding? There's nothing in here.
00:20:03They're coming in. Crap!
00:20:05How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:20:09If you don't twist my arm.
00:20:11If you don't twist my arm.
00:20:13No, no, no.
00:20:21Oh, yeah.
00:20:26Sarah, cheers.
00:20:27Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:31Right, right, right. After then.
00:20:43That was close.
00:20:50Hey, girlfriend. Can I ask you for advice on something?
00:20:53Sure. What's going on?
00:20:55So, I have this friend who is having boy problems.
00:20:58Aren't we all?
00:21:00So, she has a crush on her boss.
00:21:02And she doesn't know what to do about it because of the whole workplace relationship thing.
00:21:06How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:21:08Wait, 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. Because what if I tell Kurt I like him and he doesn't like me?
00:21:17And then it's so totally awkward and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.
00:21:21Wait, you like Kurt?
00:21:24I gotta go. What? Ring, ring.
00:21:27Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:21:29Ring, 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?
00:21:57Um, I mean, yeah.
00:21:59First girlfriend, first gift.
00:22:01Checks out.
00:22:03So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:19Oh my God, I'm going to be wearing that?
00:22:22Sorry?
00:22:23Uh, your girlfriend's going to be wearing that?
00:22:26Yeah. It's pretty nice, right?
00:22:29Well, I mean, it's option one.
00:22:32Do you think she'll like it?
00:22:34Um, well, what's your girlfriend like?
00:22:38What are her tastes?
00:22:41Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous.
00:22:46The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.
00:22:51I 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. This is big in Europe.
00:23:07Between you and me, I'm rooting for this guy.
00:23:09Mm-hmm. I see.
00:23:11Do you have anything more modest?
00:23:16Hm, modest?
00:23:18Yeah, that 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.
00:23:35Aha!
00:23:38What do you think?
00:23:40I think she'd really like that.
00:23:48Can I have a margarita?
00:23:51You can't be serious, darling.
00:23:54She'll have a French 75 with cognac.
00:23:57Flora, what are you doing here?
00:23:59Making sure you look the part.
00:24:01You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?
00:24:04Yes, more than anything.
00:24:06Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize.
00:24:09We need to get our hands on that code fast.
00:24:12Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery.
00:24:14But until then, we're in this together.
00:24:17Yes?
00:24:19Yeah.
00:24:20Excellent.
00:24:22Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:24Make him even more vulnerable, and get him to tell me where the code is.
00:24:29And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:24:31Um...
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, and going to bed with him.
00:24:54Right.
00:24:56I can do that.
00:24:58I hope so, because he's coming this way.
00:25:03Get the code soon, honey.
00:25:06For your mother.
00:25:08Okay.
00:25:11Oh!
00:25:12And darling, have fun.
00:25:19Valentina.
00:25:22How are you?
00:25:24Wonderful, love.
00:25:26I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:25:28Is that so?
00:25:29Indeed.
00:25:31I was so distracted.
00:25:33It affected my croquet score.
00:25:35Oh, no. Distracted over little old me?
00:25:37Yes.
00:25:39I simply must know everything about you.
00:25:42Well, 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.
00:26:10Oh.
00:26:12Wait.
00:26:13That's really good.
00:26:15Stop.
00:26:16That's not funny.
00:26:18Stop.
00:26:24You know, my sister was implying today
00:26:27that I should tell someone where my new AI code is
00:26:30because I forget stuff.
00:26:32And...
00:26:34Are you forgetful?
00:26:37I mean, yeah.
00:26:39Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:26:43What? Really?
00:26:44Yeah.
00:26:45It cost me $10,000 just to get them rekeyed.
00:26:49Which is why I should probably tell someone
00:26:53in case I do forget.
00:26:56So maybe I should tell you
00:26:58because you're so awesome and trustworthy?
00:27:01Well, if you'd like, go ahead.
00:27:04I'll tell you.
00:27:06But first...
00:27:11I'm gonna hit the men's room.
00:27:17This is it.
00:27:19All I need to do is ask him where the code is
00:27:21and my mission is over.
00:27:23Nothing can stop me now.
00:27:25Ariel?
00:27:27Except my ex-boyfriend.
00:27:31I don't know what you're talking about, darling.
00:27:34I don't know this... Ariel.
00:27:37No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:39You are definitely Ariel.
00:27:42But what are you doing in a place like this?
00:27:45You're poor.
00:27:47Fine. Please just leave, Max.
00:27:50It's Maximilian now.
00:27:52Because I'm Max and I make millions.
00:27:55Whatever. Please. I'm begging you.
00:27:57Look at you.
00:27:59You look so much better.
00:28:01You look... what's that word?
00:28:04Rich?
00:28:06Please.
00:28:07I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately,
00:28:09but I've become very rich.
00:28:12Yes. You've sent me 50 messages about it.
00:28:14I had to block your number.
00:28:16Oh. Yeah, that's right.
00:28:18Please. I'll do whatever you want, okay?
00:28:20I just...
00:28:22How about a kiss for old time's sake?
00:28:25You know, Ariel,
00:28:27sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together.
00:28:30What's happening?
00:28:32Do you not remember when we'd go and get taco Tuesday
00:28:35at that Mexican restaurant
00:28:37and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:28:40How embarrassing.
00:28:42Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:44Yes, he does.
00:28:45A situation shipped the best.
00:28:48Let go, Max.
00:28:49Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:28:52Get off her!
00:28:56Blaine Ellington?
00:28:58Max Fletcher.
00:28:59Maximilian?
00:29:01What are you doing with that peasant?
00:29:03That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
00:29:05Blaine Ellington.
00:29:07Getting my sloppy seconds.
00:29:22This isn't over.
00:29:25Come on, Regina.
00:29:31Just stay away from my man, skank.
00:29:34He's actually trying to.
00:29:38Are you okay?
00:29:40Yeah, I think so.
00:29:42We gotta get out of here.
00:29:44This isn't good.
00:29:46Max.
00:29:53Care to explain this?
00:29:55I assume the article does a good job.
00:29:59Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?
00:30:04What are you, a child?
00:30:06I'm not a child, but he started it.
00:30:09I don't care who started it.
00:30:11Ellington is a company based in family values.
00:30:16I was out with my girlfriend trying to uphold those family values.
00:30:20No, don't play the girlfriend card.
00:30:23The onus is you on this, pal.
00:30:26Maybe your sister was right.
00:30:29Maybe you're too much of a risk, even though you say you've settled down.
00:30:34Either way, I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.
00:30:39What would your father think?
00:30:58Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
00:31:01What is that? Some family motto I'm not aware of?
00:31:04It's Shakespeare, you idiot.
00:31:07What are you doing here? You don't want any of this.
00:31:10You don't know what I want.
00:31:12Uh, booze and bimbos?
00:31:15Or does page one of the paper say something different?
00:31:18She's not a bimbo.
00:31:21Then don't treat her like one.
00:31:24Treat her like Dad treated Mom.
00:31:30How do you mean?
00:31:32Bring her completely into your life.
00:31:35Let her know everything about you.
00:31:38I'm trying to. Just last night, we were sharing everything with each other.
00:31:42Okay, share more.
00:31:44Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:31:47I will.
00:31:49I'm gonna get close to this woman.
00:31:51You'll see.
00:31:53And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one stem.
00:31:58Shakespeare.
00:32:00Yeah?
00:32:02Ow.
00:32:06Martina, how are you?
00:32:09How am I?
00:32:11Yeah, how are you?
00:32:13I am annoyed. Time is running out, understand?
00:32:16Mm-hmm.
00:32:17We chose you because we thought you could get the job done.
00:32:20But now I'm not so sure.
00:32:23Wait.
00:32:25Oh my God, do you have feelings for him?
00:32:28What? No.
00:32:31Oh my God, do you have feelings for him?
00:32:33What? No.
00:32:35I hope not, because you have four days to get that code,
00:32:38or you can say bye to Mommy.
00:32:41But now...
00:32:42Other than that...
00:32:44I am fine. Thanks 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...
00:33:07Worse.
00:33:08That sounds super complicated.
00:33:10You have no idea.
00:33:11Erin?
00:33:13Can you come in here?
00:33:14I'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?
00:33:42Let's forget about the file.
00:33:46Ugh.
00:33:54Let's just close our eyes for, um, ten minutes.
00:34:06That's an order.
00:34:08Okay.
00:34:16This is nice.
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:21This should be, like, an everyday thing.
00:34:25Mm-hmm.
00:34:29Good morning! Another beautiful day in Ellington.
00:34:32Let's get it! Woo!
00:34:34Oh, Hannah!
00:34:39Well, I guess that's over.
00:34:43Um...
00:34:44Well, everything should be there.
00:34:48I can't even concentrate on work right now.
00:34:51Oh? Why?
00:34:53Well, I don't know if you heard, but...
00:34:58Oh, my. That's, uh, quite a scene.
00:35:01Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:35:04I 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 and be honest.
00:35:16Yeah. I'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, maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.
00:35:32Tell me if she sounds upset.
00:35:35Um...
00:35:36Yeah?
00:35:37I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:35:39Oh, God, she 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!
00:35:49Think, Ariel, think!
00:35:51Uh...
00:35:52I'm gonna be sick. Uh, bathroom!
00:36:01Hello, darling.
00:36:02Hey, Valentina.
00:36:05How are you?
00:36:06Thriving, my dear.
00:36:08How are you feeling?
00:36:10A little banged up, but I've been worse.
00:36:13You 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'd get to see you again.
00:36:41You will, very soon.
00:36:50Uh, sorry.
00:36:52Can I help you?
00:36:54I couldn't hear you. It kind of sounded like...
00:36:57Sorry, Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.
00:37:02Must be going.
00:37:04Okay, uh, sure. See you.
00:37:07Ta-ta!
00:37:14Community theater.
00:37:16Character. I'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.
00:37:33There she is.
00:37:45Mom, I'm home!
00:37:47Hi, honey. How was your day?
00:37:51It was... not boring.
00:37:54How was yours?
00:37:56It was wonderful.
00:37:58I did laundry, watched some soaps.
00:38:02Mom, what are you cooking? I told you I was gonna 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?
00:38:13Hello, darling.
00:38:21Flora!
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.
00:38:31And thought I'd drop in.
00:38:33Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion. You 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. Go ahead and have your work talk. Dinner will be ready soon.
00:38:58What 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 hid the drive, but I...
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? No. Of course not.
00:39:23Good. I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:39:29Dinner's ready.
00:39:31Deeply sorry, darling. Urgent business. Must be taking off.
00:39:35Oh, um, okay, well...
00:39:37It was nice meeting you.
00:39:39You too, darling.
00:39:44Tick-tock.
00:39:46Hehehehe.
00:39:57Alright, I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal. Any ideas?
00:40:04Enter rehab.
00:40:06Too tacky.
00:40:08Go volunteer in a third world country?
00:40:11Hmm, too obvious.
00:40:13Record an apology video for social media and post it there.
00:40:17Too cringe.
00:40:22Adopt an orphan. Now that is something.
00:40:25Ariel, how good are you at raising kids?
00:40:27Um, let's think of other options.
00:40:32What about a charity ball?
00:40:34Yes! That's it! That's the one!
00:40:37I like that. I like it a lot.
00:40:39Isn't she good?
00:40:41Phenomenal.
00:40:42Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant.
00:40:46So, really, this kind of all comes back to...
00:40:48Got it. Wait, what charity would it be for?
00:40:52How about unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:40:55I'd love that. Let's get it rolling.
00:40:58I'll start right away.
00:41:00Ariel, you've become an integral part of our company,
00:41:04and I want to have you seated at our VIP table.
00:41:07Gosh, thank you. I'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. Come out.
00:41:27It fits perfectly, darling.
00:41:31Wow. Stunning.
00:41:37Guess I'll have to get you a dress.
00:41:39A dress? What's the occasion?
00:41:43Well, I'm hosting this charity ball, and I would love for you to be my date.
00:41:49I love a good ball.
00:41:52But I must check my schedule, darling.
00:41:55Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?
00:41:59My new AI tech. It's going to revolutionize the world.
00:42:04Ah, yes.
00:42:06We got interrupted. You were going to tell me something important.
00:42:11What were you going to say?
00:42:13It's not really that necessary.
00:42:17You don't trust me?
00:42:19I do. This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO, and I just want it to go well.
00:42:27But I thought I was special.
00:42:30You are. I just...
00:42:32Well, you know, if you don't trust me...
00:42:35Wait.
00:42:40So you do trust me?
00:42:42Mm-hmm.
00:42:52So Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?
00:42:57Mm-hmm.
00:43:00Where is it?
00:43:02It's here. In the mansion.
00:43:08It's here?
00:43:15Mm-hmm.
00:43:23Where in the mansion?
00:43:26It's...
00:43:32Yeah.
00:43:34Now?
00:43:38Okay. I'll be there.
00:43:43I don't know.
00:43:47Where are you going, darling?
00:43:49They need me to be on this call with China, so I have to leave.
00:43:54You have to leave right now, darling?
00:43:56Yeah. Now.
00:43:59I'm sorry. We'll pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:44:03Yeah.
00:44:07Martina was right about you. I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:30Hello?
00:44:42Did you get it?
00:44:44The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:44:47Excellent, darling. Excellent.
00:45:00Huh.
00:45:13Max? What are you doing here?
00:45:15What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:45:17Or should I say... Valentina Kingsley?
00:45:21You wouldn't understand.
00:45:22Oh, I understand.
00:45:24You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:45:29No, I'm not. I...
00:45:31You know, I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.
00:45:37It's only the right thing to do.
00:45:40Please don't. You don't know what I'm doing.
00:45:42Oh, you'll lose your job? Your reputation?
00:45:46Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:45:50What do you want, Max?
00:45:52I just want a little... an arrangement.
00:45:56I'd rather not.
00:45:57Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:46:02Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:46:05Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.
00:46:08I want to destroy you.
00:46:11You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.
00:46:17If by tomorrow, I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town...
00:46:24I'll do it for you.
00:46:40You seem extra happy today.
00:46:43I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole other level last night.
00:46:48Wow, that's awesome, man. I'm so happy for you.
00:46:51Hi, Mr. Lington. Hi, Kurt.
00:46:53Hi, Anna.
00:46:55Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:46:58Kurt?
00:47:00Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:47:06Hi, Ariel. Are you alright?
00:47:09Yeah, I'm alright.
00:47:12I actually had an idea about the charity ball.
00:47:16Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:47:21I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:24Where?
00:47:26I was thinking your house.
00:47:33I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:47:37Well, if we host it ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:47:42And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:47:46That makes sense.
00:47:48Okay, let's do it.
00:47:50Great. I'll send out the invitations.
00:47:56She really knows this company inside and out.
00:47:59What do you know about Ariel?
00:48:03What do you want to know?
00:48:07Here you go, Mom.
00:48:09I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:48:12I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:14That's okay. We can watch it next weekend.
00:48:17Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:48:21Mom, you are my friend.
00:48:23People your age.
00:48:25Who you can be.
00:48:27How dancing you can be.
00:48:29You're my friend.
00:48:31You're my friend.
00:48:33You're my friend.
00:48:35Who you can be out dancing with.
00:48:38Flirting with boys.
00:48:41I 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.
00:48:52Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:48:55Um.
00:48:57Um.
00:48:59Oh.
00:49:01Sweetie, I'm fine.
00:49:03I just need some rest.
00:49:05Okay.
00:49:07Um.
00:49:25And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.
00:49:29I'm dreading giving this speech.
00:49:32I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:49:36I always thought that was a little pervy, but.
00:49:40I promise you're going to be amazing.
00:49:44Thank you so much for helping with this.
00:49:47This charity ball idea was genius.
00:49:50I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:49:53I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:49:58Well, I should get going.
00:50:00Wait, um.
00:50:02I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:50:05Make sure the dress fits.
00:50:08I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:50:10Alright.
00:50:11Good night.
00:50:24Hello, darling.
00:50:26I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:50:29It's perfect.
00:50:31I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:50:34I can't wait either, darling.
00:50:36Good night.
00:50:54Ariel.
00:50:58This place looks amazing.
00:51:00Thanks, Kurt.
00:51:02You're looking sharp.
00:51:03Oh, yeah.
00:51:04Well, got a dress to impress, you know?
00:51:07Are you trying to impress anyone?
00:51:09Nah.
00:51:11Listen, Random.
00:51:14Does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:51:16I don't think so.
00:51:19Do you like her?
00:51:21No.
00:51:22No, no, no.
00:51:24No, I'm just trying to make friendly conversation.
00:51:29Yeah.
00:51:31We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:51:35Oh.
00:51:37You're still here.
00:51:38Yeah.
00:51:39Uh, listen.
00:51:41If someone were to ask Hannah to dance,
00:51:46what do you think the chances are that she would say yes?
00:51:50Probably good.
00:51:52Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:51:54No.
00:51:55No.
00:51:56No, no, no, no.
00:51:57No, I'm just, um, a fan of wild, hypothetical scenarios.
00:52:03That one just sprung to mind.
00:52:05Mm-hmm.
00:52:06Okay.
00:52:08Yep.
00:52:10Um, well, I'm gonna go help Blaine practice his speech.
00:52:18So I'm going to do that right now.
00:52:21I will see you later.
00:52:23All right, see ya.
00:52:26And you must be Ariel.
00:52:31Yes, hi.
00:52:34Hmm.
00:52:35You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:52:38He has?
00:52:39Oh, yes, yes.
00:52:40In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:52:46I suppose so.
00:52:48Wonderful.
00:52:50Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done
00:52:53if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:52:56Wow, that's such an honor.
00:52:58I heard he was a great man.
00:53:00He was a great man.
00:53:03Martina.
00:53:05Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:53:08Yes, briefly.
00:53:10She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.
00:53:13Yes, she has.
00:53:14In fact, I can see her playing a bigger role at Ellington if she keeps it up.
00:53:21Why wait?
00:53:22She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:24Really?
00:53:26I think so.
00:53:27Don't you, Ariel?
00:53:29Uh, uh-huh.
00:53:31Amazing.
00:53:33Well, I can't wait.
00:53:39Me either.
00:53:47♪
00:54:08Ariel.
00:54:10Blaine.
00:54:11There you are.
00:54:12I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:54:13Here I am.
00:54:15Have you seen Valentina?
00:54:18No, I don't think so.
00:54:20About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:54:24Um, no.
00:54:25No, I don't think so.
00:54:27In fact, I've been looking everywhere for you.
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.
00:54:59Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.
00:55:03Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:55:05Okay.
00:55:07You can do this.
00:55:10Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:55:14Uh, you must be mistaken, love.
00:55:17I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:55:20Yeah, okay.
00:55:22Ariel.
00:55:24No, seriously.
00:55:26My 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...
00:55:37Valentina...
00:55:38Who else should I be?
00:55:40Just be yourself.
00:55:42I'm the Queen of England.
00:55:46You can really tell it's me?
00:55:48Yeah, but, I 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.
00:56:04Um, 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.
00:56:14Well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:56:20Yeah, thanks.
00:56:21I'm going to need it.
00:56:43Ah, there you are, darling.
00:56:45Valentina.
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.
00:56:56You're doing a speech, I see.
00:56:58Oh, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:57:01They're going to eat you up, darling.
00:57:04You 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.
00:57:23Uh, Valentina.
00:57:25I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:57:32Yes.
00:57:33I 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.
00:57:45Ah.
00:57:46I 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.
00:58:05I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:58:09Good luck, darling.
00:58:17Wait.
00:58:33Excuse me.
00:58:34What are you doing in here?
00:58:41Excuse me.
00:58:42What are you doing in here?
00:58:44Um...
00:58:45And who are you?
00:58:47Oh.
00:58:48Um...
00:58:49Uh...
00:58:50Um, I...
00:58:51I, um...
00:58:53You look lost.
00:58:55I am, darling.
00:58:57I am lost.
00:58:59I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:59:04Grandfather.
00:59:05Yes?
00:59:06This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:59:10Oh, yes, yes.
00:59:12From the front page of the Times.
00:59:14Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:59:16I hope 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.
00:59:25And I trust that Blaine is treating you respectfully, like a lady.
00:59:31He 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.
00:59:41Right.
00:59:43Good thing.
00:59:45Shall we return to the party?
00:59:47Yes, we shall.
00:59:49Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
00:59:52You too, sir.
01:00:14You seem quiet. Is everything all right?
01:00:17Everything's fine, darling.
01:00:19Hey, Valentina.
01:00:21I have a girl question for you.
01:00:27Oh, my God. For the love of God.
01:00:29You 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.
01:00:43In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:00:46Would you? That 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?
01:01:14Sorry.
01:01:15When?
01:01:16Tonight.
01:01:17Oh, right. It's a ball.
01:01:39It's time, brother. You ready?
01:01:41As ready as I'll ever be.
01:01:47Thank you for coming tonight.
01:01:50It means a lot.
01:01:51Of course.
01:01:53You're going to be amazing.
01:02:01Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.
01:02:06It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend,
01:02:10your CEO of Ellington Incorporated,
01:02:13Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:02:20Good evening, everyone.
01:02:23I want to, before we get started,
01:02:25thank two people who, without their help,
01:02:28none of this would have happened tonight.
01:02:31My assistant Ariel and my girlfriend Valentina.
01:02:37Not sure where they are right now, but I want to thank them for having my back.
01:02:48Hi, Anna.
01:02:50Oh, hi.
01:02:52You haven't seen Valentina around, have you?
01:02:55I wanted to try to find her so she could watch Blaine's speech.
01:02:58Valentina is sick and Ariel was helping her get medicine.
01:03:03Oh, okay.
01:03:07You look really pretty, by the way.
01:03:11Thanks.
01:03:13You look really pretty too.
01:03:36All right, time to find this code.
01:03:57Blaine mentioned something I said?
01:04:00What the heck did I say?
01:04:04Paintings.
01:04:20So, tonight I'm pledging $10 million
01:04:24to help research cures for illnesses and disorders unknown.
01:04:29Thank you all for coming.
01:04:31I hope to see you on the dance floor.
01:04:53I'm sorry, Mom.
01:04:55I failed you.
01:05:01I'm sorry.
01:05:27I'll give you a hint.
01:05:29You're just staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
01:05:35He wasn't talking about the painting.
01:05:39He was talking about me.
01:06:30Okay.
01:06:35Think, Ariel.
01:06:48What could the numbers be?
01:06:50It couldn't be our first date, could it?
01:06:59No.
01:07:20I'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.
01:07:50The future.
01:07:52In the palm of my hand.
01:07:55I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:07:58Blaine's a good man.
01:08:01You're awful.
01:08:03He's rich, darling. He'll get over it.
01:08:06My mom? And her surgery?
01:08:09I've been accused of many things.
01:08:12But I always keep my word.
01:08:15Now, go and celebrate. You deserve it, darling.
01:08:26Yes.
01:08:45Valencina.
01:08:46Hi, darling.
01:08:47There you are.
01:08:49How are you feeling?
01:08:50Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:08:53Excellent.
01:08:54Care to dance?
01:08:55Certainly.
01:08:59Well, well, well, well.
01:09:04Look at the happy couple.
01:09:11How did you get in?
01:09:12Oh, I have my ways.
01:09:14We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:09:17Anyway...
01:09:20I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:09:25You need to leave.
01:09:26Actually, I don't think I do.
01:09:28Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:09:32She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:09:34No, no, no.
01:09:36There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:09:39What?
01:09:40If only your little assistant had assisted you in researching her.
01:09:46You know, it's funny.
01:09:47I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:09:51Blaine, don't listen to him.
01:09:53What is he talking about?
01:09:55Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here.
01:10:00But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a bite.
01:10:05Hi.
01:10:15Ariel?
01:10:29This whole time you've been Valentina?
01:10:32That's right.
01:10:33This whole time you pretended to care about me.
01:10:37But you're just a liar.
01:10:39And worse.
01:10:41She's poor.
01:10:43Why?
01:10:44Yes, Ariel.
01:10:46But why?
01:10:48I'm so sorry.
01:10:50Ariel.
01:10:51Ariel, wait.
01:10:53How embarrassing.
01:10:57You know, I looked into you.
01:11:01You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here.
01:11:06How preposterous.
01:11:08If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:11:11Ew.
01:11:13You're poor?
01:11:16Regina!
01:11:22You're my hero.
01:11:24Thanks.
01:11:25Sometimes I just gotta tell her.
01:11:27You know.
01:11:31Ariel!
01:11:41What are you smiling about?
01:11:43I mean, come on.
01:11:45This proves it, right?
01:11:46He's a joke.
01:11:48No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:11:51He's a liability, Richard.
01:11:53And you are giving him the company with the luxury of not having to deal with this shit show because you won't be alive much longer.
01:11:59Oh, well, don't bet on that.
01:12:01You know, you've got a lot of nerve talking to me like this, kid.
01:12:06You've got a lot of nerve letting this ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:12:11I should be running this company.
01:12:14Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:21Look, I'm not poor.
01:12:23What is that?
01:12:24I do not want to hear it.
01:12:26You lied to me.
01:12:27Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me.
01:12:29No, I didn't.
01:12:30That is fair.
01:12:37Regina!
01:12:57That was a disaster.
01:13:02I just don't understand.
01:13:04Why would she go through all of that?
01:13:06I don't know.
01:13:08But these scandals are exhausting.
01:13:12Yeah.
01:13:13I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:13:19Right.
01:13:21Right.
01:13:24I got a lot to think about.
01:13:27What do you mean?
01:13:28I mean we may have to take the company in a complete different direction if we're going to gain back the public's trust.
01:13:36You can't be serious.
01:13:37No?
01:13:42Something better happen sooner.
01:13:44It gets much worse.
01:13:46It gets much worse.
01:13:49Did she want anything from you?
01:13:52I don't know, Martina.
01:13:54Nothing valuable?
01:13:55Martina, I said I don't...
01:14:17No!
01:14:28Ariel, baby.
01:14:31Oh, you look like you had a rough night.
01:14:35It was a disaster, really.
01:14:38I feel awful.
01:14:39Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, baby.
01:14:43Thanks, Mom.
01:14:44Well, I have something to tell you.
01:14:47Dr. Westfall called.
01:14:49Are you okay?
01:14:50What's going on?
01:14:52He said that an anonymous donor sent in the funds for me to have my operation.
01:14:58What?
01:14:59I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.
01:15:01Oh, my God.
01:15:02Oh!
01:15:06Mom, I'm so happy.
01:15:09I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake.
01:15:12I agree.
01:15:43It's time to celebrate.
01:15:48To the future, darling.
01:15:57Drink.
01:15:58You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:16:04There it is.
01:16:06Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:16:09People walk in and out of my office having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:16:15Of course, I won't be able to enjoy it too much longer,
01:16:18since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:16:21I guess I just feel bad.
01:16:24To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:16:28Break the rules.
01:16:29Be bold.
01:16:31To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:16:35Break the rules a little.
01:16:39I guess.
01:16:40Ask 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.
01:17:00I 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?
01:17:15Darling.
01:17:28Episode 2
01:17:41All right, one more drink and we'll start packing up my things.
01:17:46Deal, one more.
01:17:53Anna.
01:17:54Hi, Mr. Ellington. May I come in?
01:17:55Sure, come on in.
01:17:58Hi, cutie.
01:18:02Care for a drink?
01:18:03Oh, no. I 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?
01:18:11Ariel.
01:18:17From who?
01:18:18Ariel.
01:18:20I don't want it. Take it back.
01:18:22She said you might say that, but 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, so it must be a big deal.
01:18:38Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
01:18:41Ew, what's happening?
01:18:43What's going on? What does this mean?
01:18:46Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
01:18:49Ew, what's happening?
01:18:51What's going on? What does this mean?
01:19:16Oh, Flora.
01:19:17Yes, darling?
01:19:18Your appointment had to leave early. I asked if they wanted her scheduled, but they said no.
01:19:23I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today. What was the name?
01:19:29Valentina Kingsley.
01:19:45Oh, my God.
01:19:51You're rich. You'll get over it, darling.
01:20:09Oh, what's going on? What does this mean?
01:20:16Thank you for everything.
01:20:23Hannah, did you want to help me with that thing?
01:20:26I would love to.
01:20:27Yes, let's do that.
01:20:34Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:20:36Get out of my seat.
01:20:42Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this, but it's time.
01:20:57But it's time.
01:21:00To celebrate.
01:21:08You are going to regret this. I promise you that.
01:21:15Jeez, what did you do?
01:21:17I don't know, girl, but the way she wears that dress, she can step on me any day.
01:21:23She can step on me any day.
01:21:27See, I knew you could do it. I knew it.
01:21:31You know, your dad would be so proud of you.
01:21:46Dr. Westfall.
01:21:47Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:21:48Is surgery over? How did it go?
01:21:50Yes, we just finished. There were complications.
01:21:53Complications?
01:21:54Yes, but we were able to work through them, and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:21:59Really?
01:22:00Really, yes. In 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 than she has in a long time.
01:22:10I can't thank you enough.
01:22:11I'm happy to help.
01:22:21I love you.
01:22:22I love you, too.
01:22:23I love you.

01:22:52Come in, come in.
01:22:55Welcome.
01:23:00Ariel.
01:23:02Mom, why didn't you hang out in bed? The doctors said to stay in after surgery.
01:23:07I know, I know but I saw this cute guy through the window, and I got kind of excited.
01:23:14Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:23:16No thank you, but thank you.
01:23:18Thank you. Oh, thank you. Sit down. Make yourself comfortable
01:23:22Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy? Oh
01:23:26Of course
01:23:29I'll just be right over here. Don't mind me
01:23:41I'm so so sorry. I
01:23:43Yeah, I
01:23:46Understand why you did it and
01:23:49You gave me the drive back. So there's no need to apologize. Thank you for everything. I
01:23:57Don't even know where to start
01:24:01I'm not looking for an apology
01:24:04You're not no
01:24:07See, I'm still CEO and I need an assistant
01:24:11And you're kind of the best in town I
01:24:16Accept and
01:24:20Still looking for a girlfriend
01:24:25Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply
01:24:41I
01:24:43Love you, Valentina. I mean Ariel
01:24:47That's gonna take some getting used to
01:24:51There aren't any starry rooftop views here, but this is my special place
01:24:58It's even better
