00:00:00Hey, this is Richard Allenton, I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message.
00:00:15Hey, Grandpa.
00:00:17It's one thing to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody-two-shoe women.
00:00:24But to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind
00:00:28date, that's low.
00:00:33Let's hope this one's different.
00:00:36I don't even know what to say to this guy.
00:00:39I don't know how to talk to rich people.
00:00:42Be sexy.
00:00:43Darling, just act better than everyone else in the room.
00:00:47And being sexy is easy.
00:00:49Bite your lip, push up the girls.
00:00:52It works every time.
00:00:53Wait, what about girls?
00:00:55And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily.
00:00:58So challenge them, be bold, and put them on the spot.
00:01:02I 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
00:01:09mother's surgery.
00:01:10It's your call.
00:01:25Are you going to stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:01:45Of course.
00:01:46Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.
00:01:59You're so...
00:02:01Rich?
00:02:02Sexy?
00:02:04Frankly, yes.
00:02:06Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:11Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:13And you are?
00:02:14Blaine Ellington.
00:02:15CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:19And 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.
00:02:42You better bring three.
00:02:44Yes, of course, right away, sir.
00:02:52And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:02:55I invest.
00:02:57In what?
00:02:59In everything.
00:03:02What am I not investing in?
00:03:05Businesses.
00:03:06Charities.
00:03:09I see.
00:03:10And you live in the city?
00:03:13The city.
00:03:15The hills.
00:03:17My yacht.
00:03:19My private island.
00:03:22I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:24You're so impressive.
00:03:27So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:31Doesn't surprise me.
00:03:32I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:39You've got a little, uh...
00:03:48Kurt?
00:03:49Kurt?
00:03:50What's my manager doing here?
00:03:53Blaine.
00:03:56My business dinner just ended.
00:03:58The presentation for the China branch.
00:04:00Looking good.
00:04:01Amazing.
00:04:02You're the best, Kurt.
00:04:03Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two.
00:04:05Just wanted to say hi.
00:04:07Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:09Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:11Classic.
00:04:12All right, well, you two have fun.
00:04:21I've got to be honest with you.
00:04:24You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.
00:04:28Would 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.
00:04:42Whoa.
00:04:45Welcome to my home.
00:04:47After you.
00:05:03Oh, my.
00:05:12Do you like what you see?
00:05:16You're getting there, darling.
00:05:18Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:21Well, then, shall we get started?
00:05:25Uh, not so fast.
00:05:29Okay, a little foreplay?
00:05:32I did not think this through at all.
00:05:34How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:05:39Looking for something?
00:05:41Oh, um...
00:05:44Ah.
00:05:46I should have known that was your style.
00:05:49Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:52Ugh, I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:05:55I'm not used to being the one tied up.
00:05:57It's usually the other way around.
00:06:01Valentina?
00:06:03Patience, darling.
00:06:05I'm building the suspense.
00:06:08Ah, I see.
00:06:10Ugh, where could it be?
00:06:12Right.
00:06:13And you say guys actually like this?
00:06:16Oh, yes.
00:06:17It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:06:22How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:27That's... that's new.
00:06:32The painting!
00:06:33Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:06:35Oh, uh...
00:06:37Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:06:40It looks exactly like...
00:06:42the one in the painting.
00:06:45Oh, I see.
00:06:47Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:06:50It looks exactly like...
00:06:52the one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:06:55It's where I keep my safe.
00:06:58People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:07:02Thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:04Oh, no, it's quite popular.
00:07:07Where do you hide your luxurious safe keepings?
00:07:12In 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.
00:07:25I'm getting the utmost important business call,
00:07:28and I must take it.
00:07:30Right now?
00:07:31What?
00:07:32What about me?
00:07:34Valentina!
00:07:37Wait!
00:07:39Untie me!
00:07:45Ew.
00:07:46Really, Blaine?
00:07:48What?
00:07:49You and your models.
00:07:52Last night was not a model.
00:07:54I was actually impressed.
00:07:57Did I hear right?
00:07:59Blaine actually had a date he liked?
00:08:02It was fantastic.
00:08:04The 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.
00:08:23Grandfather, listen to him.
00:08:26He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:08:28I 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 do great work right where you are.
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?
00:09:09To perfection.
00:09:12She already 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.
00:09:21Brilliant. 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.
00:09:39What's he doing here?
00:09:40Speaking of girls, I think I know who would be perfect as your new assistant.
00:09:45Sorry.
00:09:46I'm fine.
00:09:49Ariel.
00:09:50How does he know my name?
00:09:52You dropped your badge.
00:09:59I'm sorry.
00:10:00I'm sorry.
00:10:01I'm sorry.
00:10:02I'm sorry.
00:10:03I'm sorry.
00:10:04I'm sorry.
00:10:05I'm sorry.
00:10:06I'm sorry.
00:10:08There you go.
00:10:09Thanks.
00:10:21Are you playing hide and seek?
00:10:22Is that where you were laying?
00:10:23Can I hide next?
00:10:24No, I was dropping my mom off at the hospital.
00:10:27Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:10:29Wait, oh my god, is she okay?
00:10:31Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:10:32She's just getting some tests done.
00:10:34Oh, thank goodness.
00:10:36Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:10:38Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:10:40Are you going to apply?
00:10:41I'm good where I am, but all the girls are applying.
00:10:44Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:10:46You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:10:48I think this position is yours.
00:10:59He's gorgeous.
00:11:01I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:11:05Attention, everyone.
00:11:07My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:11:11I will try my best to live up to my father,
00:11:14but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:11:18And since he is adjusting to this new role,
00:11:21I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:11:24Not me, not me, not me.
00:11:26Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:11:31All right, everyone, back to work.
00:11:39You look exactly like...
00:11:43Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:49Kurt described.
00:11:51Clean, organized desk.
00:11:53Confident and professional.
00:11:55Kurt described.
00:11:57Clean, organized desk.
00:11:59Confident 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.
00:12:11First thing I need help with is this file.
00:12:13Oh, got to take a phone call.
00:12:16Send it to me in an e-mail.
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.
00:12:39New number, huh?
00:12:43Hello?
00:12:45Hello, Ariel? This is Dr. Westphal.
00:12:47We just got your mother's results.
00:12:53It's not what we hoped, so 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.
00:13:19Mom, you should be in bed.
00:13:21Honey, I'm fine.
00:13:23Besides, you've been working all day.
00:13:25You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:13:27Mom, please.
00:13:29Honey, sit down.
00:13:39The doctor called.
00:13:41He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:43Hush, hush, hush.
00:13:45None of that talk, okay?
00:13:47Mom.
00:13:50Okay.
00:13:57I'll be right back.
00:14:05It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:07Are you ready?
00:14:09Yeah.
00:14:13Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:15I'll make it to go.
00:14:20Okay.
00:14:32Oh, where am I?
00:14:38Valentina!
00:14:40Blaine!
00:14:42Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:14:45Do you intend to have me killed?
00:14:47No, not at all. This place is special.
00:14:50Follow me.
00:15:03How many more?
00:15:05We're almost there. Come on.
00:15:18Wow.
00:15:28Did you look at that view?
00:15:32I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:15:34Just you, actually.
00:15:36I discovered this place after my father died.
00:15:41Your father died?
00:15:43Yeah.
00:15:45Yeah.
00:15:47And I've been thrown into the CEO position.
00:15:50And I'm a bit in over my head.
00:15:53So I never really get a chance to myself,
00:15:56except when I come here.
00:16:00I'm so sorry.
00:16:07My mom is sick.
00:16:10She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:16So I know how it feels to want to get away.
00:16:20Yeah.
00:16:23I'm used to getting everything,
00:16:25but this is one thing that money can't buy.
00:16:30I'm so sorry about your mom.
00:16:32Thanks.
00:16:35She's all I've got.
00:16:37She's all I've got.
00:16:39I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:16:51Hey, who's out here?
00:16:56What's happening?
00:16:58Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:17:00What?
00:17:01Run.
00:17:08Hey.
00:17:11Still.
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.
00:17:43I 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.
00:18:01Martina, 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.
00:18:38Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington. Is this a bad time?
00:18:41No, not at all. My sister just came to visit.
00:18:44Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:18:47Martina, nice to meet you.
00:18:49Likewise.
00:18:50Glad to see my brother has someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:18:54Don'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.
00:19:23Glad to hear you're doing that. I have wasted enough time.
00:19:28Now you know exactly where it is.
00:19:31Get it?
00:19:40Alright, where's that drive?
00:19:48Are you kidding? There's nothing in here.
00:20:02They're coming in.
00:20:03Crap!
00:20:05How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:20:08Oh, man.
00:20:09You don't twist my arm.
00:20:11You don't twist my arm.
00:20:13No, no, no.
00:20:20Oh, yeah.
00:20:25Sarah?
00:20:26Cheers.
00:20:27Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:32Right.
00:20:33Right. Right. After then.
00:20:35Yeah.
00:20:44Phew. That was close.
00:20:51Hey, girlfriend!
00:20:52Can I ask your advice on something?
00:20:54Sure. What'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.
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 gonna tell him?
00:21:13I mean, I don't know.
00:21:14Because what if I tell Kurt I like him and he doesn't like me?
00:21:17And then it's so totally awkward and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.
00:21:21Wait. You like Kurt?
00:21:24I gotta go. What?
00:21:26Ring, ring.
00:21:27Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:21:30Ring, ring.
00:21:31Ring, ring.
00:21:36Ariel.
00:21:38Yes, Mr. Ellington?
00:21:39I need your personal help.
00:21:41Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:21:53I've never gotten a girl a gift.
00:21:55Wow, really?
00:21:56Um, I mean, yeah.
00:21:58First girlfriend, first gift.
00:22:00Checks out.
00:22:02So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:18Oh my God, I'm gonna be wearing that?
00:22:21Sorry?
00:22:22Uh, your girlfriend's gonna be wearing that?
00:22:25Yeah.
00:22:27It's pretty nice, right?
00:22:28Well, I mean, it's option one.
00:22:31Do you think she'll like it?
00:22:33Um, well, what's your girlfriend like?
00:22:37What are her tastes?
00:22:40Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous.
00:22:45The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.
00:22:51I see.
00:22:52I 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...
00:23:14modest?
00:23:16Hmm, modest?
00:23:17Modest?
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.
00:23:34Aha!
00:23:38What do you think?
00:23:40I think she'd really like that.
00:23:48Can I have a margarita?
00:23:51You can't be serious, darling.
00:23:54She'll have a French 75 with cognac.
00:23:57Flora, what are you doing here?
00:23:59Making sure you look the part.
00:24:01You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?
00:24:04Yes, more than anything.
00:24:06Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize.
00:24:09We need to get our hands on that code fast.
00:24:12Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery.
00:24:14But until then, we're in this together.
00:24:17Yes?
00:24:19Yeah.
00:24:21Excellent.
00:24:23Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:25Make 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?
00:24:32Um...
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.
00:24:50Drinking with him,
00:24:52and going to bed with him.
00:24:54Right.
00:24:57I can do that.
00:24:59I hope so, because he's coming this way.
00:25:04Get the code soon, honey.
00:25:06For your mother.
00:25:08Okay.
00:25:11Oh!
00:25:12And darling, have fun.
00:25:17Okay.
00:25:19Valentina.
00:25:22How are you?
00:25:24Wonderful, love.
00:25:26I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:25:28Is that so?
00:25:30Indeed.
00:25:32I was so distracted.
00:25:34It affected my croquet score.
00:25:36Oh, no. Distracted over little old me?
00:25:38Yes.
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.
00:26:09Oh, man.
00:26:12Wait.
00:26:14That's really good.
00:26:16Stop.
00:26:18That's funny.
00:26:20Stop.
00:26:24You know, my sister is implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is, because I forget stuff.
00:26:34Are you forgetful?
00:26:37I mean, yeah.
00:26:39Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:26:43What? Really?
00:26:45Yeah. It cost me $10,000 just to get them rekeyed.
00:26:49Which is why I should probably tell someone in case I do forget.
00:26:56So maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome and trustworthy?
00:27:01Well, if you'd like, go ahead.
00:27:04I'll tell you.
00:27:06But first...
00:27:08Oop.
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 and 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.
00:27:58Look at you. You look so much better.
00:28:01You look... what's that word?
00:28:04Rich?
00:28:05Please.
00:28:07I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately, but I've become very rich.
00:28:12Yes. You've sent me 50 messages about it. I had to block your number.
00:28:16Oh. Yeah, that's right.
00:28:18Please, I'll do whatever you want, okay? I just...
00:28:21How about a kiss for old time's sake?
00:28:25You know, Ariel, sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together.
00:28:30This isn't happening.
00:28:31Do you not remember when we'd go and get taco Tuesday at that Mexican restaurant
00:28:37and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:28:40I'm very...
00:28:42Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:44Yes, he does.
00:28:46A situation shipped the best.
00:28:48Let go, Max.
00:28:50Nobody 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.
00:29:27Come on, Regina.
00:29:30Just 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.
00:29:53Care to explain this?
00:29:55I assume the article does a good job.
00:29:57Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?
00:30:03What are you, a child?
00:30:05I'm not a child.
00:30:07But he started it.
00:30:09Well, I don't care who started it.
00:30:11Ellington is a company based in family values.
00:30:15I was out with my girlfriend trying to uphold those family values.
00:30:20No, no, no. Don't, don't, don't.
00:30:22Don't play the girlfriend card, okay?
00:30:24The onus is you on this, pal.
00:30:26You know, 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.
00:30:33Either way, I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.
00:30:39What would your father think?
00:30:55Hmm.
00:30:58Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
00:31:01What is that? Some family motto I'm not aware of?
00:31:05It's Shakespeare, you idiot.
00:31:07What are you doing here? You don't want any of this.
00:31:11You don't know what I want.
00:31:13Uh, booze and bimbos?
00:31:16Or does page one of the paper say something different?
00:31:19She's not a bimbo.
00:31:21Then don't treat her like one.
00:31:23Treat her like dad treated mom.
00:31:29How do you mean?
00:31:31Bring her completely into your life.
00:31:34Let her know everything about you.
00:31:37I'm trying to. Just last night, we were sharing everything with each other.
00:31:41Okay, share more.
00:31:43Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:31:46I will.
00:31:48I'm gonna get close to this woman.
00:31:50You'll see.
00:31:51And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one stem.
00:31:56Shakespeare?
00:31:59Yeah.
00:32:01Ow.
00:32:11Martina, how are you?
00:32:13How am I?
00:32:15Yeah, how are you?
00:32:18I am annoyed.
00:32:19Martina, I am annoyed.
00:32:21Time is running out, understand?
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?
00:32:34What? No.
00:32:36I hope not. Because you have four days to get that code.
00:32:39Or you can say bye to mommy.
00:32:42Other than that...
00:32:44I am fine. Thanks for asking.
00:32:49Bye.
00:32:58Happy hump day, bestie!
00:33:00It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:33:02Oh, right. Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:33:05Better.
00:33:07And worse.
00:33:09That sounds super complicated.
00:33:11You have no idea.
00:33:13Hey, are you...
00:33:15Can you come in here?
00:33:17I'll be right there. Good thing you've got work to distract you.
00:33:19Good thing.
00:33:26You have the file for the new China branch?
00:33:29Yeah.
00:33:37Long night?
00:33:41You know what?
00:33:43Let's forget about the file.
00:33:49Okay.
00:33:55Let's just close our eyes for...
00:33:58ten minutes.
00:34:07That's an order.
00:34:09Okay.
00:34:17This is nice.
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:21This should be like...
00:34:23an everyday thing.
00:34:29Good morning! Another beautiful day in Ellington.
00:34:32Let's get it!
00:34:34Oh, Hannah!
00:34:39Well, I guess that's over.
00:34:44Well, everything should be there.
00:34:49I can't even concentrate on work right now.
00:34:52Oh? Why?
00:34:54Well, I don't know if you heard, but...
00:34:59Oh, my.
00:35:01That's quite a scene.
00:35:03Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:35:05I can imagine.
00:35:07Yeah, I just...
00:35:09I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.
00:35:14You should just talk to her.
00:35:16And be honest.
00:35:17Yeah.
00:35:18I'm gonna call her.
00:35:20What?
00:35:23Yeah, can you be in the room when I do it?
00:35:26You want me in the room?
00:35:28Yeah, maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.
00:35:33Tell me if she sounds upset.
00:35:37I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:35:40She makes me so nervous.
00:35:42I'm sure you make her nervous, too.
00:35:45Shit, shit, shit!
00:35:48Oh!
00:35:50Think, Ariel, think!
00:35:52I'm gonna be sick. Bathroom!
00:36:01Hello, darling.
00:36:03Hey, Valentina.
00:36:05How are you?
00:36:07Thriving, my dear.
00:36:09How are you feeling?
00:36:11A little banged up, but I've been worse.
00:36:14You should have been with me in my partying days in Ibiza.
00:36:17I was an absolute heathen.
00:36:25Well, I'm glad to hear you're feeling alright.
00:36:28I was worried.
00:36:32No need, darling.
00:36:34I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:36:37I wanted to know if I get to see you again.
00:36:42You will. Very soon.
00:36:48Uh, sorry.
00:36:51Can I help you?
00:36:53I couldn't hear you. It kind of sounded like...
00:36:56Sorry, Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.
00:37:01Must be going.
00:37:03Okay, sure. See you.
00:37:06Ta-ta!
00:37:12Community theater.
00:37:14Mm.
00:37:15Character. I'm rehearsing.
00:37:19Murder mystery.
00:37:22I'll, uh, send you the dates.
00:37:25I'm not in the theater.
00:37:28That's fair.
00:37:30That's fair.
00:37:46Mom, I'm home!
00:37:48Hi, honey. How was your day?
00:37:52It was... not boring.
00:37:55How was yours?
00:37:57It was wonderful!
00:37:59Did some laundry, watched some soaps...
00:38:03Mom, what are you cooking? I told you I was going to cook tonight.
00:38:07Well, you weren't home yet, and I wanted to go ahead and get started so your co-worker could have some, too.
00:38:12My co-worker?
00:38:14Hello, darling.
00:38:22Flora!
00:38:24What 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. You didn't say anything about a job promotion.
00:38:40I guess it slipped my mind.
00:38:43Well, you two don't mind me. Go ahead and have your work talk. Dinner will be ready soon.
00:38:56What are you doing here?
00:38:58Checking in to see what progress was made last night.
00:39:01I, um... I got close to finding out where he hid the drive, but I...
00:39:06But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:39:09I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:39:12Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:39:15You're not getting attached.
00:39:18What? No. Of course not.
00:39:20Good. I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:39:26Dinner's ready.
00:39:29Deeply sorry, darling. Urgent business. Must be taking off.
00:39:33Oh, um, okay. Well, it was nice meeting you.
00:39:36You, too, darling.
00:39:42Tick-tock.
00:39:44Tick-tock.
00:39:57All right. I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal. Any ideas?
00:40:04Inner rehab.
00:40:06Too tacky.
00:40:08Go volunteer in a third world country?
00:40:10Hmm. Too obvious.
00:40:12Record 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, how good are you at raising kids?
00:40:27Um, let's think of other options.
00:40:31What about a charity ball?
00:40:33Yes! That's it! That's the one!
00:40:36I like that. I like it a lot.
00:40:39Isn't she good?
00:40:41Phenomenal.
00:40:43Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant.
00:40:46So, really, this kind of all comes back to...
00:40:48Got it. Wait. What charity would it be for?
00:40:52How about unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:40:55I'd love that. Let's get it rolling.
00:40:58I'll start right away.
00:41:00Ariel, you've become an integral part of our company, and I want to have you seated at our VIP table.
00:41:06Oh my gosh. Thank you. I'm honored.
00:41:09Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend Valentina, and you.
00:41:14Good job, Ariel.
00:41:20Let's see how it looks. Come out.
00:41:26It fits perfectly, darling.
00:41:30Wow. Stunning.
00:41:37Next, I'll have to get your 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.
00:42:03Ah, 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...
00:42:31Well, you know, if you don't trust me...
00:42:35Wait.
00:42:40So you do trust me?
00:42:52So Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?
00:42:57Secret?
00:43:01Where is it?
00:43:03It's here. In the mansion.
00:43:08It's here?
00:43:23Where in the mansion?
00:43:26It's...
00:43:32Yeah.
00:43:35Now?
00:43:39Okay. I'll be there.
00:43:47Where are you going, darling?
00:43:49They need me to be on this call with China, so I have to leave.
00:43:53You have to leave right now, darling?
00:43:56Yeah. Now. I'm sorry. Pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:44:03Yeah.
00:44:06Martina was right about you. I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:24Did you get it?
00:44:42The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:44:44Excellent, darling. Excellent.
00:44:54Ha ha ha!
00:45:14Max? What are you doing here?
00:45:16What the hell are you doing here, Ariel? Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?
00:45:21You wouldn't understand.
00:45:23Oh, I understand. You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:45:29No, I'm not. I...
00:45:31You 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.
00:45:43Oh, you'll lose your job? Your reputation?
00:45:46Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:45:51What do you want, Max?
00:45:53I just want a little, an arrangement.
00:45:57I'd rather not.
00:45:59Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:46:03Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:46:06Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you. I want to destroy you.
00:46:12You 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 nother level last night.
00:46:48Wow, that's awesome, man. I'm so happy for you.
00:46:52Hi, Mr. Lington. Hi, Kurt.
00:46:54Hi, Anna.
00:46:56Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:46:59Kurt?
00:47:01Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:47:06Hi, Ariel. Are you alright?
00:47:08Yeah, I'm alright.
00:47:11I actually had an idea about the charity ball.
00:47:15Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:47:21I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:24Where?
00:47:26I was thinking your house.
00:47:32I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:47:36Well, if we host it ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:47:41And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:47:44Yeah, that makes sense.
00:47:47Okay, let's do it.
00:47:50Great. I'll send out the invitations.
00:47:55She really knows this company inside and out.
00:47:58What do you know about Ariel?
00:48:01What do you want to know?
00:48:07Here you go, Mom.
00:48:09I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie. I'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.
00:48:24People your age, who you can be.
00:48:27I know.
00:48:29I know.
00:48:30Saturday night.
00:48:32Mom, you are my friend.
00:48:34People your age, who you can be out dancing with, flirting with boys.
00:48:41I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:48:44What? What's he like?
00:48:47It's complicated.
00:48:49Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:48:52Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:49:01Sweetie, I'm fine. I just need some rest.
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 charity ball idea. It was genius.
00:49:50I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:49:53I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:49:58Well, I should get going.
00:50:00Wait, um, I should probably call Valentina, right? Make sure the dress fits.
00:50:08I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:50:10Alright. Good night.
00:50:24Hello, darling.
00:50:25I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:50:28It's perfect.
00:50:30I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:50:33I can't wait either, darling.
00:50:35Good night.
00:50:56Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:51:00Thanks, Kurt. You're looking sharp.
00:51:03Oh, yeah, well, got a dress to impress, you know?
00:51:07Are you trying to impress anyone?
00:51:09Nah.
00:51:11Listen, Random, does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:51:17I don't think so.
00:51:19Do you like her?
00:51:20Do you like her?
00:51:22No, no, no, no.
00:51:25No, 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.
00:51:39Yeah. Uh, listen.
00:51:41If someone were to ask Hannah to dance,
00:51:46what do you think the chances are that she would say yes?
00:51:50Probably good.
00:51:53Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:51:55No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:51:57No, I'm just a fan of wild, hypothetical scenarios.
00:52:03That one just sprung to mind.
00:52:05Mm-hmm. Okay.
00:52:08Yep.
00:52:10Um, well, I'm gonna go
00:52:16help Blaine practice his speech.
00:52:18So I'm going to do that right now.
00:52:22I will see you later.
00:52:24All right, see ya.
00:52:26And you must be Ariel.
00:52:31Yes, hi.
00:52:34Hmm.
00:52:36You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:52:39He has?
00:52:41Oh, yes, yes. In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:52:46I suppose so.
00:52:48Wonderful.
00:52:50Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done
00:52:54if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:52:56Wow, that's such an honor.
00:52:59I heard he was a great man.
00:53:01He was a great man.
00:53:03Martina.
00:53:05Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:53:09Yes, briefly.
00:53:11She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.
00:53:14Yes, she has.
00:53:15And I can see her playing a bigger role at Ellington if she keeps it up.
00:53:21Why wait? She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:25Really?
00:53:27I think so. Don't you, Ariel?
00:53:29Uh, uh-huh.
00:53:31Amazing.
00:53:33Well, I can't wait.
00:53:39Me either.
00:53:45Uh-huh.
00:54:16Ariel.
00:54:18Blaine.
00:54:20There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:54:22Here I am.
00:54:24Have you seen Valentina?
00:54:26No, I don't think so.
00:54:28About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:54:32Um, no. No, I don't think so.
00:54:35In fact...
00:54:37What?
00:54:39Nothing. It's ridiculous.
00:54:40I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me, that would be great.
00:54:45I'll get right on that.
00:54:47Thank you. Bye.
00:54:57Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.
00:55:01Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:55:03Okay.
00:55:05You can do this.
00:55:06You can do this.
00:55:09Oh, 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. Ariel.
00:55:23No, seriously.
00:55:25My name is Valentina Kingsley, and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:55:29Oh, I get it. It's like one of those improv games or something.
00:55:33No, no, no. No game.
00:55:36My name is...
00:55:38Who else should I be?
00:55:40Just be yourself.
00:55:42I'm the Queen of England.
00:55:45You can really tell it's me?
00:55:48Yeah, but, I mean, I can be very observant.
00:55:52Really?
00:55:54Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:55:58Okay. Can I ask why?
00:56:00Uh, well, it's really complicated.
00:56:03Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:56:07Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:56:10Yeah, sure.
00:56:12Aw, well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:56:19Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna need it.
00:56:31Oh, there you are, darling.
00:56:33Valentina. I'm so glad to see you.
00:56:36Look at this place.
00:56:38I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:56:42I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:56:44Of course.
00:56:46You're doing a speech, I see.
00:56:48Oh, I'm not a speech.
00:56:50I'm a speech.
00:56:52I'm a speech.
00:56:54I'm a speech.
00:56:56I'm a speech.
00:56:57You're doing a speech, I see.
00:56:59Oh, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:57:02They're gonna 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. I must go speak with her.
00:57:23Valentina, I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:57:32Yes, I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:57:36Great.
00:57:38Where would this be taking place? In the study, or...?
00:57:41Upstairs. Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:57:45Ah, I see.
00:57:47You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:57:53What the heck did I say?
00:57:55I'll give you a hint.
00:57:57If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:58:03I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:58:07Good luck, darling.
00:58:18What the...?
00:58:33Excuse me. What are you doing in here?
00:58:41Excuse me. What are you doing in here?
00:58:44Um...
00:58:45And who are you?
00:58:47Oh, um, uh...
00:58:50Um, I... I, um...
00:58:53You look lost.
00:58:56I am, darling. I am lost.
00:58:59I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:59:04Grandfather, this is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:59:10Oh, yes, yes. From the front page of the Times. Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:59:15I 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?
00:59:48Yes, we shall.
00:59:50Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
00:59:52You too, sir.
01:00:14You seem quiet. Is everything all right?
01:00:18Everything's fine, darling.
01:00:20Hey, Valentina, I have a girl question for you.
01:00:28Oh, my God, for the love of God, you clearly have a crush on Hannah.
01:00:32Just ask her to dance.
01:00:34You just met me, you can already tell?
01:00:36Yes.
01:00:38You read me like a book.
01:00:40I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:00:42You're really inquisitive.
01:00:44In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:00:47Would you? That would be great.
01:00:49Dude.
01:00:54Hannah, I need a favor.
01:00:56Anything.
01:00:58When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
01:01:00If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
01:01:03And 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.
01:01:16When?
01:01:17Tonight.
01:01:19Oh, right, it's a ball.
01:01:40It's time, brother. You ready?
01:01:42As ready as I'll ever be.
01:01:47Thank you for coming tonight.
01:01:50It means a lot.
01:01:52Of course.
01:01:54You'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, your CEO of Ellington Incorporated, Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:02:18Good evening, everyone.
01:02:20I want to, before we get started, thank two people who, without their help, none of this would have happened tonight.
01:02:28My assistant, Ariel, and my girlfriend, Valentina.
01:02:36Not 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? I 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.
01:03:03Oh, okay.
01:03:07You look really pretty, by the way.
01:03:11Thanks.
01:03:13You look really pretty, too.
01:03:37All right, time to find this code.
01:03:48Blaine mentioned something I said? What the heck did I say?
01:04:04Paintings.
01:04:18So, tonight, I'm pledging $10 million to 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.
01:04:47I'm sorry, Mom. I failed you.
01:05:17I'll give you a hint. If you were to look for it, you'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.
01:05:47I'm sorry.
01:06:17Okay.
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?
01:07:18I've got the code.
01:07:20Excellent, darling.
01:07:22I'll give it to you after the ball.
01:07:24Or you could give it to me now.
01:07:28Flora?
01:07:33What are you doing here?
01:07:35I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be. Just like you, apparently.
01:07:42The code, darling.
01:07:44The code, darling.
01:07:50The future in the palm of my hand.
01:07:56I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:07:59Blaine's a good man.
01:08:02I feel awful.
01:08:04He's rich, darling. He'll get over it.
01:08:06My mom and her surgery?
01:08:08I've been accused of many things, but I always keep my word.
01:08:14Now, go and celebrate. You deserve it, darling.
01:08:39Valencina.
01:08:41Hi, darling.
01:08:42There you are.
01:08:44How are you feeling?
01:08:46Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:08:49Excellent. Care to dance?
01:08:52Certainly.
01:08:56Well, well, well, well.
01:09:01Look at the happy couple.
01:09:04Look at the happy couple.
01:09:11How did you get in?
01:09:13Oh, I have my ways.
01:09:15We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:09:18Anyway, I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:09:26You need to leave.
01:09:28Actually, I don't think I do. Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:09:33She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:09:35No, no, no. There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:09:40What?
01:09:42If only your little assistant had assisted you in researching her.
01:09:47You know, it's funny. I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:09:52Blaine, don't listen to him.
01:09:54What is he talking about?
01:09:56She may have fooled everyone in here.
01:10:00But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:10:15Ariel?
01:10:25Ariel?
01:10:30This whole time you've been Valentina?
01:10:33That's right.
01:10:35This whole time you pretended to care about me.
01:10:38But you're just a liar.
01:10:41And worse. She's poor.
01:10:44Why?
01:10:46Yes, Ariel.
01:10:48But why?
01:10:50I'm so sorry.
01:10:52Ariel! Ariel, wait!
01:10:55It's embarrassing.
01:10:58You 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.
01:11:07How preposterous.
01:11:09If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:11:12Ew. You're poor?
01:11:16Regina!
01:11:22You're my hero.
01:11:23Thanks.
01:11:25Sometimes I just gotta tell her. You know?
01:11:31Ariel!
01:11:41What are you smiling about?
01:11:43I mean, come on.
01:11:45This proves it, right?
01:11:47He's a joke.
01:11:49No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:11:51He's a liability.
01:11:53I believe Richard.
01:11:55And 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.
01:12:00Oh, well, don't bet on that.
01:12:02You know, you've got a lot of nerve talking to me like this, kid.
01:12:07You've got a lot of nerve letting this ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:12:12I should be running this company!
01:12:14Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:18Look, I'm not poor.
01:12:21I don't want to hear it.
01:12:23I do not want to hear it.
01:12:25You lied to me. Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me in there.
01:12:29That is fair.
01:12:36Regina!
01:12:47Regina!
01:13:02That was a disaster.
01:13:06I just don't understand.
01:13:08Why would she go through all that?
01:13:11I don't know.
01:13:13But these scandals are exhausting.
01:13:15Yeah.
01:13:17I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:13:22Right.
01:13:25I've got a lot to think about.
01:13:28What do you mean?
01:13:30I mean we may have to take the company in a completely different direction if we're going to gain back the public's trust.
01:13:37You can't be serious.
01:13:39No?
01:13:40No?
01:13:44Something better happen soon or it gets much worse.
01:13:50Did she want anything from you?
01:13:53I don't know, Martina.
01:13:55Nothing valuable?
01:13:57Martina, I said I don't...
01:14:10No!
01:14:20No!
01:14:30Ariel, baby.
01:14:33Oh, you look like you had a rough night.
01:14:37It was a disaster, really?
01:14:40I feel awful.
01:14:42Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, baby.
01:14:46Thanks, Mom.
01:14:48Well, I have something to tell you.
01:14:51Dr. Westfall calls.
01:14:53Are you okay? What's going on?
01:14:55He said that an anonymous donor sent in the funds for me to have my operation.
01:15:02What?
01:15:04I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.
01:15:06Oh, my God!
01:15:08Mom, I'm so happy.
01:15:11I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake.
01:15:15I agree.
01:15:38It's time to celebrate.
01:15:43To the future, darling.
01:15:52Drink.
01:15:54You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:15:57Cheers.
01:15:59Cheers.
01:16:01Cheers.
01:16:03Cheers.
01:16:05Cheers.
01:16:07Baby.
01:16:11There it is.
01:16:13Doesn'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 it too much longer since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:16:29I guess I just feel bad.
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.
01:16:41Ask any CEO and they'll agree, including your little boy toy.
01:16:47Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:16:50Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:16:56What?
01:16:58All 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.
01:17:31Two weeks later.
01:17:41Alright, one more drink and we'll start packing up my things.
01:17:47Deal, one more.
01:17:53Anna.
01:17:54Hi, Mr. Arlington. May I come in?
01:17:56Sure, come on in.
01:17:58Hi, cutie.
01:18:01Care for a drink?
01:18:03Oh, no. I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:18:06Wait, what was that?
01:18:07Mr. Arlington, 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.
01:18:35So, it must be a big deal.
01:18:51Oh, my God.
01:18:53Oh, my God!
01:18:54Ew! What's happening?
01:18:56What'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.
01:19:26What was the name?
01:19:29Valentina Kingsley?
01:19:51You're rich.
01:19:52You'll get over it, darling.
01:20:09What'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?
01:20:27Yes, yes. 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, but it's time.
01:20:53But it's time.
01:20:59To celebrate!
01:21:05You are going to regret this. I promise you that.
01:21:12Geez, what did you do?
01:21:14I don't know, girl. But the way she wears that dress, I don't know.
01:21:18What 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 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.
01:22:17I love you.
01:22:18I love you, too.
01:22:19I love you.
01:22:20I love you.
01:22:21I love you.
01:22:22I love you.
01:22:23I love you.
01:22:24I love you.
01:22:25I love you.
01:22:26I love you.
01:22:27I love you.
01:22:28I love you.
01:22:29I love you.
01:22:30I love you.
01:22:31I love you.
01:22:32I love you.
01:22:33I love you.
01:22:34I love you.
01:22:35I love you.
01:22:36I love you.
01:22:37I love you.
01:22:38I love you.

01:22:43I love you.
01:22:44I love you.
01:22:45I love you.
01:22:46I love you.
01:22:47I love you.
01:22:48I love you.
01:22:53Come in.
01:22:54Come in!
01:22:55Welcome.
01:23:01Ariel.
01:23:03Mom, why didn't you let me out of bed?
01:23:05The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:23:07I know.
01:23:08I know.
01:23:09But I saw this cute guy through the window, and I got kind of excited.
01:23:15Are you hungry? Thirsty?
01:23:17No, thank you, but thank you.
01:23:19Oh, thank you. Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:23:22Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:23:26Oh, of course. I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:23:41I'm so, so sorry.
01:23:43I, uh, I 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. I don't even know where to start.
01:24:01I'm not looking for an apology.
01:24:04You're not?
01:24:05No. See, I'm still CEO and I need an assistant.
01:24:11And you're kind of the best in town.
01:24:16I accept.
01:24:18And, uh, you still looking for a girlfriend?
01:24:25Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:24:42I love you, Valentina. I mean, Ariel.
01:24:47And that's going to 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.
01:25:11Thanks.
