Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Working under this much stress for a huge company, it's all for you, Mom.
00:00:08You nervous about your first day?
00:00:11A little bit, but thank you for getting me the job.
00:00:14Of course.
00:00:15It's been crazy.
00:00:17The CEO, Sebastian Armstrong, is working a huge merger.
00:00:20He could be a two-time billionaire by the end of this deal.
00:00:23But isn't he already the richest man in the world?
00:00:25The youngest richest man in the world.
00:00:30I wonder if he remembers me from college.
00:00:46You're going to have to sacrifice a lot of late nights, and you're going to make enemies
00:00:49on your way to the top.
00:01:04Perfume is intoxicating.
00:01:05Sorry.
00:01:06What was I saying?
00:01:07Oh, my God.
00:01:14What is that wretched smell?
00:01:17Maybe that's my perfume.
00:01:19That's it.
00:01:20It's God-awful.
00:01:21Deliveries go downstairs, sweetie.
00:01:23Actually, I am Mr. Armstrong's new receptionist.
00:01:26I used to have that job.
00:01:28Back then, they used to hire class.
00:01:30I guess now they're willing to hire anyone off the street.
00:01:32Sorry to spit the truth, bitch, but you don't last a minute here.
00:01:38Oops.
00:01:39You should probably clean that up, or I'll just tell them that you did it.
00:01:48Okay.
00:01:52My job is to answer phone calls and keep Mr. Sebastian's schedule.
00:01:57It's good health insurance.
00:01:59It'll pay for my mom's medical bills, and it'll-
00:02:07Get out of my way, loser.
00:02:08My shirt.
00:02:09I told you.
00:02:10Wouldn't last a day here.
00:02:12Who is that?
00:02:15That is Sebastian's wife.
00:02:18His wife?
00:02:19Be careful around her.
00:02:23She's a viper.
00:02:25Ever know she's only with him for his money.
00:02:28Sebastian Armstrong, we're going out tonight.
00:02:32Ruby, I have already told you that I want a divorce from Mr. Armstrong.
00:02:40I told you that I want a divorce and you need to sign these papers.
00:02:54Honey, we're so good together.
00:02:59Our love burns white hot. Remember when we used to make love in the office executive shower?
00:03:05Ruby, we are over.
00:03:08Because you have made it abundantly clear that all you've ever been after is my money.
00:03:14Especially after I caught you stealing.
00:03:17Now I have a business meeting today with Robert Sanchez and it is the largest business deal that I have ever had.
00:03:23Well, nobody denies Ruby Cromwell.
00:03:29Get up. You need to get out.
00:03:31Okay, I'm all sweaty from my workout. I need to take a shower, so go.
00:03:33Why don't I join? I mean, I've seen your six-pack abs before.
00:03:41You need to go. Now.
00:03:44Fine.
00:03:56Hey, thrift shop girl. Sebastian needs to see you in his office.
00:04:00Head to the door that says executive.
00:04:03Yeah, of course.
00:04:11Ruby, I thought I told you to...
00:04:13I am so sorry.
00:04:24I'm so sorry, Mr. Sebastian. Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong.
00:04:29It's okay. Don't worry about it.
00:04:43I can't believe I just saw Mr. Sebastian's Armstrong.
00:04:49I'm so embarrassed.
00:04:51Who am I fooling? I don't belong here.
00:04:55I'm eating a panini I made with a panini maker from a thrift store.
00:05:07The terms of this merger are favorable to both sides.
00:05:11Which means we're not even close to getting a deal done.
00:05:13Where should I set these down?
00:05:15I don't care. Anywhere.
00:05:17Oh, my God.
00:05:19I am so sorry.
00:05:21Get out of here. You're fired. Clear out your desk.
00:05:26You can't talk to your employee like that.
00:05:29I don't tell you how to run your company.
00:05:31She could sue you for wrongful termination.
00:05:34We can't do a merger with a company like that.
00:05:37Come to your senses.
00:05:39I'm sorry.
00:05:41I'm sorry.
00:05:43I'm sorry.
00:05:44Come to your senses.
00:05:47I'm sorry. Have we met before?
00:05:49Not funny.
00:05:51Look, why don't we start over?
00:05:53I'm Sebastian Armstrong. Would you like a job at my multi-billion dollar company?
00:05:56I don't think so.
00:05:58What?
00:06:00I don't want to work for a boss that's an asshole.
00:06:03He doesn't even know how to apologize.
00:06:06No one's ever talked to me that way.
00:06:10That takes guts.
00:06:12And I like that.
00:06:14We need people like you at this company that stand up for themselves.
00:06:18Well, I'm sorry if I'm overly honest.
00:06:21I'm just tired of eating my grilled cheese panini in the bathroom.
00:06:26Wow, I haven't laughed like that in a long time. I needed that.
00:06:30I'm sorry that I snapped like that in the office.
00:06:33This merger's just been beyond stressful.
00:06:37Will you accept my humblest apologies?
00:06:44Of course.
00:06:47And I'm sorry for spilling coffee on your very expensive shirt.
00:06:55Looks like we're both in need of some new digs.
00:06:58Tell you what, why don't you go down to Latour Boutique and get yourself a new outfit?
00:07:03I can't afford Latour Boutique.
00:07:06You can with this.
00:07:08No, I can't take that.
00:07:09I insist. Go down, get yourself a new outfit, and come back tomorrow ready to work.
00:07:24Anyway, that was just the worst date.
00:07:28Did you know, when I was in college, Sebastian came to my school
00:07:34and gave a young entrepreneur lecture.
00:07:38He was so charming.
00:07:40And knowledgeable.
00:07:42Uh-oh.
00:07:44Yeah, I think you might be in love.
00:07:49Whatever.
00:07:51Seriously, you should ride his baloney pony.
00:07:55Might lend you that big promotion.
00:07:57I am not the ruthless type.
00:08:00Plus, I don't think he'd be interested in me.
00:08:02Man at his level is always into that.
00:08:05I think he's different.
00:08:07Men are all the same.
00:08:09Oh, coming from someone who swipes right on everyone.
00:08:13Alright, alright.
00:08:18Hello?
00:08:22What do you mean?
00:08:25Okay. I'll be there.
00:08:29Everything okay?
00:08:30No. My mom has cancer.
00:08:34I'm so sorry.
00:08:38She's doing better and has one treatment to go, but it is expensive.
00:08:44That's why I really need to keep this job.
00:08:49Of course.
00:08:55Hi! How dare you serve me with this!
00:08:58Hi! How dare you serve me with divorce papers in public!
00:09:02You embarrass me in front of all the ladies at the salon!
00:09:05Oh, God.
00:09:07I thought we were going to work this out.
00:09:09We're not going to work this out. Just sign the papers.
00:09:12No! I want to go over every single line of this.
00:09:16My mother gave us that chandelier in the rumpus room. It's mine!
00:09:19That's fine. What else?
00:09:21There's a lot else.
00:09:24God.
00:09:26Vanessa, can you please move my 12 o'clock appointment to the end of the day?
00:09:30And also, can you bring us some lunch? Thank you.
00:09:33Yes, Sebastian. I mean, Mr. Sebastian. I mean, Mr. Armstrong.
00:09:41Getting real chummy with the help.
00:09:45She works for me.
00:09:47Oh, does she?
00:09:49Remember when these used to work for you?
00:09:53Can we just keep this professional, please?
00:09:56I used to be a receptionist. Don't think this two-bit whore can come in and replace me.
00:10:00I'm class elegant. She's homeless. Shelter.
00:10:03Here you are, sir.
00:10:05Thank you, Vanessa.
00:10:08Thank you, receptionist girl. That'll be all.
00:10:14Oopsies! Can you get that?
00:10:18Sure.
00:10:23Oh!
00:10:29Oh my gosh! I'm sorry. I'm such a klutz.
00:10:37Sit down.
00:10:39We are going to go over every single line of this, and you know what? We're actually going to add some clauses there.
00:10:44I'd like a house in the Hamptons. I want a new cappuccino machine. I want a cashmere sweater.
00:10:49We are going in on this, or I'm not signing!
00:10:52Okay. Have her bring a new plate in.
00:10:59Hey, I...
00:11:01Sorry, you go.
00:11:03I just wanted to apologize for Ruby's clumsiness. You know, divorces can be hard.
00:11:09I needed to get this dry-cleaned anyway.
00:11:12Oh, you should put that on the company account. And I wanted to let you know that you're doing a really good job here.
00:11:17Thank you, Mr. Armstrong.
00:11:19Yeah, of course.
00:11:23I think I know where I know you from.
00:11:26You do?
00:11:28Yes. Vautek. I gave a lecture there a couple of years ago.
00:11:31I can't believe you remember that.
00:11:33Yeah. Chantal Perfume No. 5. Is that it?
00:11:37You know, I thought about finding you after that lecture and going to the dorms and banging on some doors.
00:11:43Well, I wish you did.
00:11:44But it might have been frowned upon. Being a lecturer, maybe some sort of power imbalance.
00:11:52Yeah, I don't think the university would have appreciated me taking advantage of my position.
00:11:59Interesting. I always thought you took risks.
00:12:07Hey, boss. Congrats on the merger.
00:12:10Thank you. Yeah, I couldn't have done it with everybody in this room.
00:12:14But it's not over yet. We'll get there soon. Thank you.
00:12:208 p.m. tonight.
00:12:32He wants me to meet him at the fanciest hotel in the city?
00:13:14Yeah.
00:13:28Wow. That dress fits you perfectly.
00:13:32How did you know my size?
00:13:35My grandfather used to work at a carnival. I could guess your weight too, but I'd rather just buy a dress for you.
00:13:44This room must have cost a fortune.
00:13:47Yeah, they tend to comp the room when you own the hotel.
00:13:56I'm used to my wine coming in a box.
00:14:00You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:03No one has ever said that to me, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:147 p.m.
00:14:447 p.m.
00:15:147 p.m.
00:15:44I hope you're not too good for box wine now.
00:15:47Oh, I am never too good for box wine.
00:15:51Oh, gosh. This has been such a whirlwind. I am falling so hard.
00:15:57Just be careful, honey.
00:16:01I know. I'm trying to take it slow.
00:16:05I mean, that merger is heating up. All the stockholders in the company have their eye on him right now.
00:16:10They might be looking to make it a hostile takeover.
00:16:12You're the only person I've told. We both decided to be discreet.
00:16:16The last thing he needs is media attention.
00:16:19It's also the last thing you need with your mom.
00:16:21How is Theresa doing?
00:16:23Better. They say she has one more treatment and hopefully she'll be in remission.
00:16:26That's great news.
00:16:28I really need to keep this job.
00:16:36Are you just going to stand there or are we going to get to work?
00:16:38Do you have any idea what you're doing? We're getting so close to finalizing this merger.
00:16:44Of course I know what I'm doing.
00:17:03Are you spying on me?
00:17:04Are you spying on me?
00:17:07Not me.
00:17:10But somebody is.
00:17:12Those came across my desk earlier today.
00:17:15And I had to pay a pretty good penny to keep them out of the press.
00:17:19I'm not a married man. I can date somebody.
00:17:22Your divorce with Ruby isn't final.
00:17:24She won't sign the papers, Robert.
00:17:26Any way you cut it, Sebastian, it can be a problem.
00:17:29The board is wary of getting into business with another billionaire playboy.
00:17:34They like stability.
00:17:36Especially after that woman in Gotham went rogue.
00:17:39Maybe it would help to be a happily married man.
00:17:43I don't think that exists.
00:17:46I got news for you, pal.
00:17:48It does. 35 years.
00:17:57I wish I could tell the world how I feel about her.
00:18:00But the world finding out about us during my divorce would hurt the merger.
00:18:08We are playing with fire.
00:18:10But I care about him so much, I just can't jeopardize anything.
00:18:22Well, well, well.
00:18:24What do we have here?
00:18:26Excuse me?
00:18:27I'm Lombardi. Bruno Lombardi.
00:18:30Hi, I'm Vanessa. Mr. Armstrong's new assistant.
00:18:34We have so much in common. I'm also new at Armstrong Enterprises.
00:18:38I'm here to dictate the merger.
00:18:40But why talk about work while at work when we can talk about play while we play?
00:18:44What?
00:18:46Happy hour. Teenies only.
00:18:48Teenies?
00:18:50Martinis. Teenies to bikinis.
00:18:53Oh, that's funny.
00:18:55Yeah. What do you say we get out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini?
00:19:03Are all your pickup lines martini-based?
00:19:06Yeah.
00:19:10We need to talk.
00:19:13Ruby, I didn't see you on my schedule.
00:19:16Oh, okay. I'm pretty sure I don't need to be on your schedule because I'm your wife.
00:19:20Ex-wife.
00:19:22What do you need? What's up?
00:19:23I'm still unhappy with the divorce terms.
00:19:26How can you be unhappy? It's fair. I paid you more than half.
00:19:31I still want you.
00:19:33No baby voice, Ruby. Okay, we're through.
00:19:37Fine. Clearly you don't want me anymore.
00:19:40But I do know that you want me to sign before the merger.
00:19:43The merger has nothing to do with you.
00:19:46What if I wanted to have something to do with me?
00:19:48You are entitled to none of that.
00:19:50We'll see about that.
00:19:51You need to get out of here before I call security.
00:19:54You wouldn't dare.
00:20:00You need to go. Come on. Out the door.
00:20:11Hey there.
00:20:13Sorry. I'm wiped.
00:20:15I know that you overheard Ruby.
00:20:17It's none of my business.
00:20:19It's over between her and I.
00:20:21She does not think so.
00:20:24So, would you like to have dinner with me?
00:20:28I'm not really hungry.
00:20:31You sure about that?
00:20:36I don't think it's a good idea.
00:20:38Look, I know that we've both been under a lot of stress.
00:20:42We can just keep it that way.
00:20:43Look, I know that we've both been under a lot of stress.
00:20:46We can just keep it simple.
00:20:48Have some good food. Take our mind off things. No pressure.
00:20:51He's right. We're both under a lot of stress.
00:20:54But I can't put my stress on him.
00:20:56So, dinner?
00:20:58Keep it simple.
00:21:11This is simple?
00:21:13You're worth it.
00:21:18I'm worried about the merger.
00:21:23You too.
00:21:25I'm not worried about you closing it.
00:21:27I'm worried about us.
00:21:29Look, it's almost a done deal.
00:21:31All eyes are on you.
00:21:33With this and your divorce,
00:21:35don't you worry that this will make the company think you're unfit?
00:21:37Unfit for what?
00:21:39The merger is just money.
00:21:41And I have money, but I don't have luck.
00:21:44And I want to be with you.
00:21:49I don't know.
00:21:52Why are you so hesitant?
00:21:54I don't know if I can tell him.
00:21:58What's going on?
00:22:00My mom is...
00:22:03cancer.
00:22:05She has cancer and
00:22:07I just need to focus on work right now because her bills are mounting up.
00:22:10You know I can take care of that for you.
00:22:11No, Sebastian, that's not why I'm telling you.
00:22:14I don't want your charity.
00:22:16My mom always taught me to earn everything I get.
00:22:22Well, she sounds like a strong woman.
00:22:25She's the strongest woman I know.
00:22:27I admire you.
00:22:29I don't need to be admired.
00:22:31I need to be understood.
00:22:33Understood.
00:22:36I think we should slow down a little.
00:22:39What are you talking about?
00:22:41Maybe just be friends.
00:22:44I don't think I could just be friends with you.
00:22:47I don't think I can be anything more.
00:23:01I see you.
00:23:03What?
00:23:05I see you.
00:23:07You're a rising star of this company.
00:23:09I am just trying to work here.
00:23:11I don't need any distractions.
00:23:13Let me guess. Your job's a joke.
00:23:15You're broke. Your love life's the OA.
00:23:17It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
00:23:20It hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
00:23:28No.
00:23:31Babe, come on.
00:23:35Release the attention.
00:23:42Maybe this is for the better.
00:23:44I have to get Sebastian to end this.
00:23:46This is the only way.
00:23:48Uh, yeah.
00:23:50That's the spot.
00:23:52That's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:24:03Oh, sorry, Mr. Sebastian.
00:24:06Hey, Sebastian, don't worry. We're off the clock.
00:24:12This is hot.
00:24:14Don't ever touch me again.
00:24:22Playing hard to get? I like that.
00:24:25Bruno likey.
00:24:30You're a big star. You got this.
00:24:32She's yours.
00:24:34Two can play this game.
00:24:36I'll be there for you.
00:24:42Hey, I'm sorry about...
00:24:45There's nothing to be sorry about.
00:24:47We're both adults. You don't owe me anything.
00:24:50He was just being...
00:24:52I don't care about him.
00:24:54I just... I don't know. I thought that you were different.
00:24:57I... I have to let this happen.
00:25:00You know what? I think you're right.
00:25:02I think that we should just be friends.
00:25:05No.
00:25:07More like work colleagues.
00:25:08Because I had hoped that we were going to build something together.
00:25:11But my life, my business wasn't built off hope.
00:25:14It was built off hard work.
00:25:16Sebastian...
00:25:18No, and I was blinded by what I thought was such an amazing person.
00:25:22But the reality is you're just like everyone else.
00:25:26You're just after my money.
00:25:28Sebastian, I don't...
00:25:30I don't...
00:25:32I don't...
00:25:34I don't...
00:25:35You're just after my money.
00:25:37Sebastian, I don't...
00:25:45How about we finish where we started?
00:25:47Get off!
00:25:49What about all that break room talk?
00:25:51I thought I told you never to touch me again!
00:25:53Let's pretend I didn't hear that.
00:25:55Get off me! Bruno, I'm not interested!
00:25:57I don't think you got interested.
00:25:59Get off!
00:26:06You're the greatest.
00:26:12Tell me everything.
00:26:15It was terrible, what I did.
00:26:17But this merger was so important to Sebastian.
00:26:19I couldn't risk losing it for him.
00:26:21You were never going to lose it for him.
00:26:23I can't be a distraction to him.
00:26:25Maybe he needs a distraction.
00:26:28What did you do?
00:26:31I almost kissed Bruno.
00:26:32The aggressive guy?
00:26:34I only did it to make Sebastian forget about me
00:26:36so he could think about the merger.
00:26:38I hope you know what you're doing.
00:26:44I wish we had met in college.
00:26:47Things would be so different.
00:26:54Kate, I don't know how to fix this.
00:26:56Girl, you can't fix being in love.
00:26:58What do you think Sebastian's doing right now?
00:27:06What is wrong with you?
00:27:08I mean, you have everything.
00:27:10And even after this merger, you'll have even more.
00:27:13You can have any woman you desire.
00:27:18Boy, don't ask I'm humble.
00:27:22I'm not.
00:27:24I'm not.
00:27:25I'm humble.
00:27:31You'd give it all up and be with her, wouldn't you?
00:27:36Well, if you love her, then you should just go to her.
00:27:43What do you have to drink in this dump?
00:27:45Ruby, what are you doing here?
00:27:47Come in.
00:27:49I'm sorry. I was a cranky bitch earlier.
00:27:51What are you doing here?
00:27:53Well, things got a little heated earlier.
00:27:55I should come make amends.
00:27:58Is it me?
00:28:01Is it hot in here?
00:28:26I've missed you.
00:28:28We were so good together.
00:28:43Let me take you to the bedroom.
00:28:51No, no, hey, I'm sorry.
00:28:53I can't do this.
00:28:56Look, we had something in the past, Ruby.
00:29:01Just put this on.
00:29:03Is this about that bitch?
00:29:06Don't call her that.
00:29:09You'll regret this, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:29:26Get off of me.
00:29:31Hey, hey, get off of me.
00:29:35Hey, hey, hey, are you okay?
00:29:37What is that?
00:29:41You must have dropped it.
00:29:45My God, somebody's been spying on us.
00:29:56Thanks for the statement, ma'am.
00:29:58We'll keep an eye out for the perp.
00:30:00In the meantime, try to get some rest.
00:30:03Good night.
00:30:10Yeah, of course.
00:30:13How did you know where I lived?
00:30:16I looked your address up at work.
00:30:19I was coming over to apologize.
00:30:21About what?
00:30:23Look, I was a jerk earlier.
00:30:25And I overreacted.
00:30:27It's okay.
00:30:29Vanessa.
00:30:32People in my position have a very hard time with dating.
00:30:35Everyone only seems to want one thing from me.
00:30:37And that's why I have to be protective.
00:30:39I've been blinded by love before.
00:30:41Ruby?
00:30:43That obvious, huh?
00:30:45She's, um...
00:30:46Bitch?
00:30:48Yeah.
00:30:50And she also could put this hold on people.
00:30:52And I didn't realize it till much later
00:30:53that she's just a gold digger.
00:30:56And she never loved me.
00:30:58She only loved my bank account.
00:31:00And that's why I tend to be defensive.
00:31:03Sebastian, maybe it's just not the right time for us.
00:31:07You have this merger.
00:31:09I don't want you to lose sight of it.
00:31:13And you have your mother.
00:31:15How's she doing?
00:31:17She has her last treatment coming up.
00:31:19So, we're hopeful.
00:31:21Yeah.
00:31:23She knows that I put off my career goals
00:31:25to take care of her.
00:31:27And she carries that guilt.
00:31:31The other day, she said that sometimes
00:31:33she wished she had died.
00:31:37So I could live.
00:31:40She's a strong woman, just like you.
00:31:42Look, I appreciate your generosity.
00:31:45But as of now, all I'm asking
00:31:47is that we remain boss and secretary.
00:31:54Deal?
00:31:58Deal.
00:32:00Under one condition.
00:32:02What is it?
00:32:05You replace this.
00:32:09Sure.
00:32:11You still have my black Amex card?
00:32:13I never used it.
00:32:15Okay. Well, you need to go down to Latour Boutique
00:32:17and get yourself another cocktail dress.
00:32:19I'm not going to do that.
00:32:23Well, you need to because I need you
00:32:25to attend a dinner with me.
00:32:27No dates.
00:32:29No, no, it's not a date.
00:32:31Personal assistant, strictly business.
00:32:33You feed me the names of people that I should know.
00:32:36It's boring, but the food is good.
00:32:39So, what do you say?
00:32:41Deal?
00:32:43That's my one condition.
00:32:45You really are a good negotiator.
00:32:51You should probably go.
00:32:54Okay.
00:33:04Can I help you?
00:33:06Yes, yes. I am looking for a dress.
00:33:08Looks like you need a whole new wardrobe.
00:33:10Oh.
00:33:12Probably.
00:33:14Sorry, we don't have anything
00:33:16in the hobo casual collection.
00:33:18Oh, I know, I know.
00:33:20I don't usually shop at places like this.
00:33:21But I actually walk by here all the time
00:33:23and stare at that dress in the window.
00:33:26Not to cut you off.
00:33:28I'm pretty busy here
00:33:30and we only serve to high-end clients.
00:33:33Okay.
00:33:36Maybe I'm in the wrong store.
00:33:38Maybe you are.
00:33:40I should probably go.
00:33:42You should.
00:33:45Now, wait just a minute.
00:33:47What is going on here?
00:33:49I don't belong here.
00:33:51You weren't very welcoming to my friend here.
00:33:53I didn't know she was...
00:33:55That shouldn't matter.
00:33:57You don't have to do this.
00:33:59Yes, I do.
00:34:01You should treat everyone
00:34:03who walks through that door with respect.
00:34:05I'm so sorry, Mr. Armstrong.
00:34:07I'm really sorry.
00:34:09My boyfriend just dumped me
00:34:11and I'm in a terrible mood.
00:34:13It's okay.
00:34:15I actually have those same sneakers
00:34:17that you're wearing.
00:34:19I love them.
00:34:21What are we saying?
00:34:23Just wrap up the dress.
00:34:25We have a big event to attend to tonight.
00:34:44Sorry, I know that this is a lot.
00:34:47I don't want to let you down.
00:34:49You won't.
00:34:51I have some cocktail hour negotiating.
00:34:57Oh, God.
00:34:59I didn't realize they let trash in here.
00:35:01Ruby, this isn't the time or the place.
00:35:03Sebastian, you haven't answered any of my phone calls.
00:35:06Our divorce terms are unacceptable.
00:35:08Sorry, Ms. Cromwell,
00:35:10but Sebastian is about to give his speech.
00:35:12I'm sorry? Who the fuck are you?
00:35:14This is a conversation between my husband and I.
00:35:17You mean your ex-husband.
00:35:22Oh!
00:35:26Oh, no, I'm so sorry.
00:35:28I'm such a klutz.
00:35:34And now, ladies and gentlemen,
00:35:36may we present
00:35:38Mr. Sebastian Armstrong!
00:35:44I think it's about time we got legal involved
00:35:46to talk about these terms and details.
00:35:48Before it goes to legal,
00:35:49should I have my guys look at it?
00:35:51Your guys?
00:35:53Just keep taking notes.
00:35:55You're new here,
00:35:57so maybe you can learn a thing or two about negotiating.
00:35:59Pretty sure I could teach you a thing or two.
00:36:06Thank you, Vanessa.
00:36:09Let me know if you need anything else.
00:36:11I need some of that.
00:36:13Damn, she's hot.
00:36:15Nothing wrong with
00:36:17dipping the pen in the company ink,
00:36:19boys.
00:36:21I didn't know that you two were an item.
00:36:23There's a lot you don't know about me, Seb.
00:36:25It's Mr. Armstrong.
00:36:27Oh, so formal.
00:36:29This company needed a little joke like me?
00:36:32Guys, this isn't a pissing contest.
00:36:35Yeah, I know.
00:36:37Because I already got the prize.
00:36:39So, you are dating?
00:36:41I mean, if you call getting freaky
00:36:43in a two-star hotel dating.
00:36:45Come on, keep it classy.
00:36:47You won't be doing anything classy tonight.
00:36:50Respect the workplace.
00:36:52Hey, chill.
00:36:54You need money like us.
00:36:56Cheap sluts like Vanessa are a dime a dozen.
00:37:01Stop.
00:37:03Stop.
00:37:05You're done.
00:37:07Get out of here. Pack your shit up.
00:37:09We don't do sexual harassment at this company.
00:37:11Okay, big boss man.
00:37:13I'll leave.
00:37:14Are you gonna regret this?
00:37:16You have no idea who I am
00:37:18and what I'm capable of.
00:37:20Just leave, son. It's over.
00:37:25Don't worry, Sebastian.
00:37:27I got your back.
00:37:29Back in my day,
00:37:31guys like him would have gotten it much worse.
00:37:33This won't affect our negotiations at all.
00:37:36It's good to be rid of the bad energy in the room.
00:37:39Oh, my God.
00:37:49Vanessa, what's wrong?
00:37:51Someone vandalized my car.
00:37:53What? Are you okay?
00:38:00Stop. There.
00:38:09I can't see their faces.
00:38:11They're wearing masks.
00:38:13The timestamp says it's from this afternoon,
00:38:15so it can't be...
00:38:17Bruno.
00:38:19He was in my office at that time.
00:38:21I'll send this to the authorities.
00:38:23I'm scared.
00:38:28I'll protect you.
00:38:35Oh, there's my sweet daughter.
00:38:36Hi, Doc. How's my mom doing?
00:38:39Hi, Vanessa.
00:38:41Your mother is doing exceptionally well.
00:38:43We couldn't be happier with her results.
00:38:45And as you know, the entire staff loves her.
00:38:48Just trying to make the best of it.
00:38:50Hopefully, this will be her last treatment
00:38:52and send her cancer into remission.
00:38:54The only sad thing is
00:38:56Ms. Porter won't be brightening up our Oncology Award anymore.
00:38:59Stop.
00:39:01I'll leave you two.
00:39:03How are you, honey?
00:39:05I'm good.
00:39:07Work's really busy?
00:39:09Well, you always manage to keep a handle on everything.
00:39:11I just can't wait to get out of here.
00:39:13Food sucks.
00:39:15Are you okay?
00:39:17You seem a bit distracted.
00:39:19I have to tell you something, Mom.
00:39:21I don't want you to worry.
00:39:23Well, I'm going to worry whether you tell me or not.
00:39:25I think I have a stalker.
00:39:27What?
00:39:29Someone vandalized my car.
00:39:30They wrote a bad word.
00:39:32A magic marker.
00:39:34Well, maybe some vinegar or something will help get rid of it.
00:39:37I know, Mom.
00:39:39I think it was somehow connected to this guy at work.
00:39:41This guy at work, Bruno Lombardi,
00:39:43he has been all over me
00:39:45and is starting to worry me out.
00:39:47You said Bruno Lombardi?
00:39:49John Lombardi's son?
00:39:53John Lombardi runs a crime family.
00:39:56Yes.
00:39:57And Bruno is quote-unquote heir to that throne.
00:40:01A crime family?
00:40:03Yeah.
00:40:05Your uncle had some run-in with them years ago.
00:40:07They're thugs.
00:40:09And if Bruno is anything like his father,
00:40:11you want to be swiping left, like the kids say.
00:40:13I think he got fired today.
00:40:15What if he blames me for everything?
00:40:17Kids today, they always want to blame somebody else
00:40:19for their issues.
00:40:21They can't take responsibility.
00:40:23But not my baby girl.
00:40:27The Lombardi crime family accused of racketeering drugs.
00:40:30Human trafficking?
00:40:32Apparently, he's still running the crime family from prison.
00:40:36And he's grooming Bruno to take over.
00:40:39They've got some troubles going on.
00:40:41So, honey, please be careful.
00:40:43I have to warn Sebastian.
00:40:45I have to go, Mom.
00:40:47I love you.
00:40:58You need a replacement for the whore-mobile.
00:41:00No, I can't accept this.
00:41:02You have to.
00:41:04I really can't.
00:41:06Then why not?
00:41:08Sebastian, I'm worried.
00:41:12I found out that Bruno has ties to the Mafia.
00:41:15No, our HR fully vetted him.
00:41:17I'm sure there's ways of squeezing him out.
00:41:19I don't think so.
00:41:21I don't think so.
00:41:23I don't think so.
00:41:24No, our HR fully vetted him.
00:41:26I'm sure there's ways of squeezing him out.
00:41:28Word is, he's being groomed to become head of the crime family.
00:41:32Then why would he want a job here?
00:41:34I don't know. He could be dangerous.
00:41:36Look, you don't need to worry about that anymore.
00:41:38Because I fired him.
00:41:40That's why I'm worried.
00:41:43Look, I have the best security that money can buy.
00:41:46We don't need to be intimidated by people like Bruno.
00:41:50And we need to focus on the good that we can do.
00:41:52And speaking of, I have a charity event that I'd like you to help me out with tonight.
00:41:58Charity?
00:42:00Yes, for cancer research.
00:42:02I would love to.
00:42:04But I don't know.
00:42:06Look, somebody just dropped out last minute.
00:42:08You'd be doing me a big, big favor.
00:42:10It's at the Biltmore Ballroom, 6 p.m. tonight.
00:42:15One condition.
00:42:17Okay. What?
00:42:22You take the car back.
00:42:26Fine.
00:42:28See you tonight.
00:42:33Damn, he is a good negotiator.
00:42:47You must be the new model.
00:42:48You're on stage on 5.
00:42:50On stage?
00:42:52What is this?
00:42:54This is a charity auction.
00:42:56People are going to bid on you for dates.
00:42:58No, no, no, no. I can't do this.
00:43:00Are you kidding? This is going to be fun.
00:43:02And it's for a good cause, girl.
00:43:04You wouldn't mind a man bidding on me for a change?
00:43:06No.
00:43:09Going once.
00:43:11Going twice.
00:43:12And she is sold to that gentleman over there
00:43:15for $500,000 for a special date.

00:43:20Thank you for your generosity, sir.
00:43:24Oh.

00:44:31I just sold for $500,000.

00:44:35That crowd is going to eat you up.
00:44:36And remember, ladies and gents,

00:44:52And just dinner. No funny business.

00:45:14We got seven over here.

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