Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Working under this much stress for a huge company.
00:00:06It's all for you, mom.
00:00:08Are you nervous about your first day?
00:00:10A little bit.
00:00:12But 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.
00:00:45You're going to have to sacrifice a lot of late nights,
00:00:48and you're going to make enemies on your way to the top.
00:01:00The perfume is intoxicating.
00:01:08Sorry, what was I saying?
00:01:14Oh my God, what is that wretched smell?
00:01:17Maybe that's my perfume.
00:01:19That's it. It's God-awful.
00:01:22Deliveries go downstairs, sweetie.
00:01:24Actually, I am Mr. Armstrong's new receptionist.
00:01:27I 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.
00:01:33Sorry to spit the truth, bitch, but you won't last a minute here.
00:01:44Oops.
00:01:45You should probably clean that up.
00:01:46Or I'll just tell them that you did it.
00:01:51Okay, my job is to answer phone calls and keep Mr. Sebastian's schedule.
00:01:58It's good health insurance. It'll pay for my mom's medical bills.
00:02:07Get out of my way, loser.
00:02:09My shirt!
00:02:11I told you, wouldn't last a day here.
00:02:19Who is that?
00:02:20That is Sebastian's wife.
00:02:23His wife?
00:02:26Be careful around her. She's a viper.
00:02:28Everyone knows she's only with him for his money.
00:02:31Sebastian Armstrong, we're going out tonight.
00:02:39Ruby, I have already told you that I want a divorce.
00:02:43You need to sign these papers.
00:02:54Honey, we're so good together.
00:02:59Our love burns white hot.
00:03:01Remember 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.
00:03:34How don't I join? I mean, I've seen your six-pack abs before.
00:03:42You need to go. Now.
00:03:45Fine.
00:03:57Hey, thrift shop girl.
00:03:59Sebastian needs to see you in his office.
00:04:01Head to the door that says executive.
00:04:04Yeah, of course.
00:04:11Ruby, I thought I told you to...
00:04:14I am so sorry.
00:04:25I'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.
00:04:50I'm so embarrassed.
00:04:56Who am I fooling? I don't belong here.
00:05:00I'm eating a panini I made with a panini maker from a thrift store.
00:05:11The terms of this merger are favorable to both sides.
00:05:14Which means we're not even close to getting a deal done.
00:05:17Where should I set these down?
00:05:19I don't care. Anywhere.
00:05:26Oh, my God.
00:05:28I am so sorry.
00:05:29Get out of here.
00:05:31You're fired. Clear out your desk.
00:05:34You can't talk to your employee like that.
00:05:37I don't tell you how to run your company.
00:05:39She could sue you for wrongful termination.
00:05:41We can't do a merger with a company like that.
00:05:44Come to your senses.
00:05:47I'm sorry. Have we met before?
00:05:49Not funny.
00:05:50Look, why don't we start over?
00:05:52I'm Sebastian Armstrong. Would you like a job at my multi-billion dollar company?
00:05:56I don't think so.
00:05:58What?
00:05:59Oh, well, I 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.
00:06:15We need people like you at this company that stand up for themselves.
00:06:19Well, I'm sorry if I'm overly honest.
00:06:22I'm just tired of eating my grilled cheese panini in the bathroom.
00:06:27Wow, I haven't laughed like that in a long time.
00:06:29I needed that.
00:06:31I'm sorry that I snapped like that in the office.
00:06:34This merger's just been beyond stressful.
00:06:38Can we accept my humblest apologies?
00:06:45Of course.
00:06:47And I'm sorry for spilling coffee on your very expensive shirt.
00:06:56Looks like we're both in need of some new digs.
00:06:59Tell you what, why don't you go down to Latour Boutique and get yourself a new outfit?
00:07:04I can't afford Latour Boutique.
00:07:07Can with this?
00:07:08No, I can't take that.
00:07:12I insist. Go down, get yourself a new outfit, and come back tomorrow ready to work.
00:07:27Anyway, that was just the worst date.
00:07:31Did you know?
00:07:33When I was in college, Sebastian came to my school and gave a young entrepreneur lecture.
00:07:41He was so charming.
00:07:44And knowledgeable.
00:07:46Uh-oh.
00:07:47Uh-oh?
00:07:48Yeah, I think you might be in love.
00:07:53Whatever.
00:07:55Seriously, you should ride his baloney pony.
00:07:59He might lend you that big promotion.
00:08:01I am not the ruthless type.
00:08:03Plus, I don't think he'd be into it.
00:08:05Man at his level's always into that.
00:08:08I think he's different.
00:08:09Men are all the same.
00:08:11Oh, coming from someone who swipes right on everyone.
00:08:15Alright, alright.
00:08:20Hello?
00:08:24What do you mean?
00:08:27Okay, I'll be there.
00:08:31Everything okay?
00:08:33No, my mom has cancer.
00:08:37I'm so sorry.
00:08:39She's doing better and has one treatment to go, but it is expensive.
00:08:46It's why I really need to keep this job.
00:08:51Of course.
00:08:57Hi!
00:08:59How dare you serve me with divorce papers in public?
00:09:01You 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.
00:09:10Just sign the papers.
00:09:11No!
00:09:12I want to go over every single line of this.
00:09:15My mother gave us that chandelier in the rumpus room.
00:09:17It's mine.
00:09:19That's fine.
00:09:20What 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?
00:09:33Yes, Sebastian.
00:09:34I mean, Mr. Sebastian.
00:09:36I 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?
00:09:54Can we just keep this professional, please?
00:09:56I used to be a receptionist.
00:09:58Don't think this two-bit whore can come in and replace me.
00:10:01I'm class elegant.
00:10:02She's homeless.
00:10:03Shelter.
00:10:04Here you are, sir.
00:10:05Thank you, Vanessa.
00:10:09Thank you, receptionist girl.
00:10:10That'll be all.
00:10:15Oopsies.
00:10:16Can you get that?
00:10:19Sure.
00:10:25Oh!
00:10:29Oh, my gosh.
00:10:31I'm sorry.
00:10:32I'm such a klutz.
00:10:38Sit down.
00:10:39We are going to go over every single line of this.
00:10:41And you know what?
00:10:42We're actually going to add some clauses there.
00:10:44I'd like a house in the Hamptons.
00:10:45I want a new cappuccino machine.
00:10:47I want a cashmere sweater.
00:10:48We are going in on this.
00:10:50Or I'm not signing.
00:10:52Okay.
00:10:53Have her bring a new plate in.
00:10:59Hey.
00:11:00I'm sorry, Hugo.
00:11:03I just wanted to apologize for Ruby's clumsiness.
00:11:07You know, divorces can be hard.
00:11:09I needed to get the strike cleaned anyway.
00:11:11Oh, you should put that on the company account.
00:11:14And I want 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?
00:11:27Yes.
00:11:28Vautek.
00:11:29I gave a lecture there a couple years ago.
00:11:31I can't believe you remember that.
00:11:33Yeah.
00:11:34Chantel perfume number five.
00:11:36Is that it?
00:11:38You know, I thought about finding you after that lecture
00:11:40and going to the dorms and banging on some doors.
00:11:44Well, I wish you did.
00:11:46But it might have been frowned upon.
00:11:48Being a lecturer.
00:11:51There must be some sort of power imbalance.
00:11:53Yeah, I don't think the university would have appreciated
00:11:57me taking advantage of my position.
00:12:00Interesting.
00:12:02I always thought you took risks.
00:12:08Hey, boss.
00:12:10Congrats on the merger.
00:12:12Yeah, I couldn't have done it with everybody in this room,
00:12:14but it's not over yet.
00:12:16But we'll get there soon.
00:12:218 p.m. tonight.
00:12:33He wants me to meet him at the fanciest hotel in the city?
00:13:22Wow.
00:13:24That dress fits you perfectly.
00:13:27How did you know my size?
00:13:29My grandfather used to work at a carnival.
00:13:31I could guess your weight, too,
00:13:33but I'd rather just buy a dress for you.
00:13:39This room must have cost a fortune.
00:13:41Yeah, they tend to comp the room when you own the hotel.
00:13:45I'm used to my wine coming in a box.
00:13:50You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:13:53No one has ever said that to me.
00:13:56Sebastian Armstrong.
00:13:59You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:02No one has ever said that to me.
00:14:05Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:28You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:31No one has ever said that to me.
00:14:34Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:36You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:39No one has ever said that to me.
00:14:42Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:44You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:47No one has ever said that to me.
00:14:50Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:52You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:55You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:58No one has ever said that to me.
00:15:01Sebastian Armstrong.
00:15:03You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:15:06No one has ever said that to me.
00:15:09Sebastian Armstrong.
00:15:11You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:15:14No one has ever said that to me.
00:15:17Sebastian Armstrong.
00:15:19You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:15:22♪♪♪
00:15:32♪♪♪
00:15:44I hope you're not too good for box wine, though.
00:15:47Oh, I am never too good for box wine.
00:15:51Oh gosh, this has been such a whirlwind.
00:15:55I am falling so hard.
00:15:57Just be careful, honey.
00:16:01I know.
00:16:02I'm trying to take it slow.
00:16:05I mean, that merger is heating up.
00:16:07All the stockholders in the company have their eye on him right now.
00:16:09They might be looking to make it a hostile takeover.
00:16:13You're the only person I've told.
00:16:14We both decided to be discreet.
00:16:17Last 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?
00:16:22Better.
00:16:23They say she has one more treatment and hopefully she'll be in remission.
00:16:26That's great news.
00:16:29I really need to keep this job.
00:16:37What, are you just going to stand there or are we going to get to work?
00:16:39Do you have any idea what you're doing?
00:16:41We're getting so close to finalizing this merger.
00:16:44Of course I know what I'm doing.
00:16:50I'm sorry.
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.
00:17:14And 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.
00:17:21Your divorce with Ruby isn't final.
00:17:23She won't sign the papers, Robert.
00:17:25Any 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.
00:17:35Especially 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.
00:18:01But 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.
00:18:19Well, well, well. What do we have here?
00:18:24Excuse me?
00:18:25I'm Lombardi. Bruno Lombardi.
00:18:28Hi. I'm Vanessa. Mr. Armstrong's new assistant.
00:18:32We have so much in common. I'm also new at Armstrong Enterprises.
00:18:35I'm here to dictate the merger.
00:18:37But why talk about work while at work when we can talk about play while we play?
00:18:42What?
00:18:43Happy hour. Teenies only.
00:18:45What?
00:18:46Happy hour. Teenies only.
00:18:49Teenies?
00:18:50Martinis. Teenies to bikinis.
00:18:54Oh. That's funny.
00:18:57Yeah. What do you say we get out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini?
00:19:05Are all your pickup lines martini-based?
00:19:08Yeah.
00:19:12We need to talk.
00:19:15Ruby, I didn't see you on my schedule.
00:19:18Oh, okay. I'm pretty sure I don't need to be on your schedule because I'm your wife.
00:19:23XY.
00:19:24What do you need? What's the problem?
00:19:26I'm still unhappy with the divorce terms.
00:19:29How can you be unhappy? It's fair. I paid you more than half.
00:19:34I still want you.
00:19:36No baby voice, Ruby. Okay, we're through.
00:19:41Fine. Clearly you don't want me anymore.
00:19:43But I do know that you want me to sign before the merger.
00:19:45The merger has nothing to do with you.
00:19:48What if I wanted to have something to do with me?
00:19:50You are entitled to none of that.
00:19:52We'll see about that.
00:19:55You need to get out of here before I call security.
00:19:57You wouldn't dare.
00:20:04You need to go. Come on. Out the door.
00:20:14Hey there.
00:20:15Hey, sorry. I'm wiped.
00:20:18I know that you overheard Ruby yelling at me.
00:20:22It's none of my business.
00:20:23It's over between her and I.
00:20:25She does not think so.
00:20:29So, would you like to have dinner with me?
00:20:32I'm not really hungry.
00:20:36You sure about that?
00:20:40I don't think it's a good idea.
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.
00:20:59Keep it simple.
00:21:02This is simple.
00:21:05You're worth it.
00:21:09I'm worried about the merger.
00:21:15You too.
00:21:16I'm not worried about you closing it.
00:21:18I'm worried about us.
00:21:20Look, it's almost a done deal.
00:21:22I'm not worried about you closing it.
00:21:25I'm worried about us.
00:21:28Look, it's almost a done deal.
00:21:30All eyes are on you.
00:21:32With this and your divorce,
00:21:34don't you worry that this will make the company think you're unfit?
00:21:37Unfit for what?
00:21:38The merger is just money.
00:21:40And I have money.
00:21:41But I don't have love.
00:21:45And 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.
00:22:12No, Sebastian, that's not why I'm telling you.
00:22:15I don't want your charity.
00:22:17My mom always taught me to earn everything I get.
00:22:23Well, 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.
00:22:34Understood.
00:22:37I think we should slow down a little.
00:22:40What 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.
00:22:58I see you.
00:23:00What?
00:23:02I see you.
00:23:03You're a rising star of this company.
00:23:05I am just trying to work here.
00:23:07I don't need any distractions.
00:23:09Let me guess.
00:23:10Your job's a joke.
00:23:11You're broke.
00:23:12Your love life's the OA.
00:23:14It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
00:23:17It hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
00:23:24No.
00:23:26Babe, come on.
00:23:31Release the attention.
00:23:37Maybe this is for the better.
00:23:39I have to get Sebastian to end this.
00:23:41This is the only way.
00:23:43Uh, yeah.
00:23:45That's the spirit.
00:23:47That's what I'm talking about.
00:23:50Oh.
00:23:51Sorry, Mr. Sebastian.
00:23:53Hey, Sebastian.
00:23:54Don't worry.
00:23:55We're off the clock.
00:24:01This is hot.
00:24:03Don't ever touch me again.
00:24:06I'm sorry.
00:24:07I'm sorry.
00:24:08I'm sorry.
00:24:09I'm sorry.
00:24:10I'm sorry.
00:24:11I'm sorry.
00:24:12I'm sorry.
00:24:13I'm sorry.
00:24:14I'm sorry.
00:24:15I'm sorry.
00:24:16I'm sorry.
00:24:17I'm sorry.
00:24:18Don't ever touch me again.
00:24:25Playing hard to get?
00:24:26I like that.
00:24:28Bruno likey.
00:24:32You big stud, you got this.
00:24:34She's yours.
00:24:35Two can play this game.
00:24:38I'll be there for you.
00:24:43Hey.
00:24:44I'm sorry about...
00:24:46There's nothing to be sorry about.
00:24:48We're both adults.
00:24:49You don't owe me anything.
00:24:51He was just being...
00:24:53I don't care about him.
00:24:55I just...
00:24:56I don't know.
00:24:57I thought that you were different.
00:24:58I...
00:24:59I have to let this happen.
00:25:01You know what?
00:25:02I think you're right.
00:25:03I think that we should just be friends.
00:25:06No.
00:25:08More like work colleagues.
00:25:13Because I had hoped that we were going to build something together.
00:25:17But my life, my business wasn't built off hope.
00:25:20It was built off hard work.
00:25:22Sebastian...
00:25:23No.
00:25:24And I was blinded by what I thought was such an amazing person.
00:25:28But the reality is you're just like everyone else.
00:25:32You're just after my money.
00:25:35Sebastian, I don't...
00:25:43How about we finish where we started?
00:25:45Get off.
00:25:46What about all that break room talk?
00:25:48I thought I told you never to touch me again.
00:25:51Let's pretend I didn't hear that.
00:25:53Get off me.
00:25:54Bruno, I'm not interested.
00:25:56Don't be that interested.
00:25:58Get off.
00:26:04You'll regret this.
00:26:12Tell me everything.
00:26:15It was terrible, what I did.
00:26:17But this merger is 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.
00:26:34The aggressive guy?
00:26:35I only did it to make Sebastian forget about me so he could think about the merger.
00:26:40I hope you know what you're doing.
00:26:46I wish we had met in college.
00:26:49Things would be so different.
00:26:55Kate, I don't know how to fix this.
00:26:57Girl, you can't fix being in love.
00:27:03What do you think Sebastian's doing right now?
00:27:10What is wrong with you?
00:27:12I mean, you have everything.
00:27:14And even after this merger, you'll have even more.
00:27:17You can have any woman you desire.
00:27:22Boy, don't ask I'm humble.
00:27:29You'd give it all up and be with her, wouldn't you?
00:27:34Well, if you love her, then you should just go to her.
00:27:40What do you have to drink in this dump?
00:27:42Ruby, what are you doing here? Come in.
00:27:45I'm sorry. I was a cranky bitch earlier.
00:27:48What are you doing here?
00:27:49Well, things got a little heated earlier.
00:27:52And I thought I should come make amends.
00:27:56Is it me?
00:28:00Is it hot in here?
00:28:09No.
00:28:27I've missed you.
00:28:29We were so good together.
00:28:40No, it's not.
00:28:43Let me take you to the bedroom.
00:28:51No, no, hey, I'm sorry. I can't do this.
00:28:56Look, we had something in the past, Ruby.
00:29:00Here, just 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.
00:29:31Hey, hey, get off of me!
00:29:36Hey, hey, hey, are you okay?
00:29:38What is that?
00:29:42He must have dropped it.
00:29:46Oh my God, somebody's been spying on us.
00:29:57Thanks for the statement, ma'am.
00:29:59We'll keep an eye out for the perp.
00:30:01In the meantime, try to get some rest.
00:30:04Good night.
00:30:11Yeah, of course.
00:30:14How did you know where I lived?
00:30:17I looked your address up at work.
00:30:20I was coming over to apologize.
00:30:22About what?
00:30:24Look, I was a jerk earlier, and 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? She's, um...
00:30:45Bitch?
00:30:47Yeah.
00:30:49And she also could put this hold on people.
00:30:52And I didn't realize it till much later that she's just a gold digger.
00:30:57And she never loved me, she 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. I 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, so we're hopeful.
00:31:23She knows that I put off my career goals to take care of her.
00:31:27And she carries that guilt.
00:31:32The other day, she said that sometimes she wished she had died.
00:31:38So I could live.
00:31:41She's a strong woman, just like you.
00:31:43Look, I appreciate your generosity.
00:31:45But as of now, all I'm asking is 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.
00:32:10You still have my black Amex card?
00:32:12I never used it.
00:32:14Okay. Well, you need to go down to Latour Boutique and get yourself another cocktail dress.
00:32:19I'm not going to do that.
00:32:23Well, you need to because I need you to 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?
00:32:42That's my one condition.
00:32:44You really are a good negotiator.
00:32:51You should probably go.
00:32:55Okay.
00:33:00Can I help you?
00:33:05Yes, yes. I am looking for a dress.
00:33:08Looks like you need a whole new wardrobe.
00:33:10Oh, probably.
00:33:13Sorry, we don't have anything in the hobo casual collection.
00:33:17Oh, I know, I know. I don't usually shop at places like this.
00:33:21But I actually walk by here all the time and stare at that dress in the window.
00:33:26Not to cut you off, I'm pretty busy here.
00:33:28And 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.
00:33:41You should.
00:33:45Now wait just a minute. What is going on here?
00:33:47I don't belong here.
00:33:48Of course you do.
00:33:49Mr. Sebastian Armstrong, welcome.
00:33:51You weren't very welcoming to my friend here.
00:33:53I didn't know she was with...
00:33:54That shouldn't matter.
00:33:55You don't have to do this.
00:33:57Yes, I do.
00:33:59You should treat everyone who walks through that door with respect.
00:34:02I'm so sorry, Mr. Armstrong.
00:34:04I'm really sorry.
00:34:06My boyfriend just dumped me and I'm in a terrible mood.
00:34:09It's okay.
00:34:10I actually have those same sneakers that you're wearing.
00:34:12I love them.
00:34:13Also that dress in the window, I love it too.
00:34:16But I'm jealous because I know it'll look way better on you.
00:34:19Plus I have at least food.
00:34:21I'm oversharing.
00:34:22Just wrap up the dress.
00:34:24Big event to attend to tonight.
00:34:44Sorry, I know that this is a lot.
00:34:46I don't want to let you down.
00:34:48You won't.
00:34:50Just stick with me.
00:34:51Have some cocktail hour negotiating.
00:34:55Oh, God.
00:34:58I 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.
00:35:05Our divorce terms are unacceptable.
00:35:07I'm sorry, Ms. Carmel.
00:35:08But Sebastian is about to give his speech.
00:35:10I'm sorry?
00:35:11Who the fuck are you?
00:35:13This is a conversation between my husband and I.
00:35:16You mean your ex-husband.
00:35:19Oh!
00:35:23Oh, no, I'm so sorry.
00:35:25I'm such a klutz.
00:35:31And now, ladies and gentlemen,
00:35:33may we present Mr. Sebastian Armstrong!
00:35:41I think it's about time we got legal involved
00:35:43to talk about these terms in detail.
00:35:45Before it goes to legal,
00:35:46should I have my guys look at it?
00:35:48Your guys?
00:35:50Just keep taking notes.
00:35:52You're new here,
00:35:53so maybe you can learn a thing or two about negotiating.
00:35:55Pretty sure I could teach you a thing or two.
00:36:03Thank you, Vanessa.
00:36:06Let me know if you need anything else.
00:36:08I need some of that.
00:36:10Damn, she's hot.
00:36:13Damn, she's hot.
00:36:15Nothing wrong with dipping the pen in the company ink,
00:36:18am I right, boys?
00:36:21I didn't know that you two were an item.
00:36:22There'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 jolt 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.
00:36:48You won't be doing anything classy tonight.
00:36:50Respect the workplace.
00:36:52Hey, chill.
00:36:54You ain't got money like us.
00:36:56Cheap sluts like Vanessa are a dime a dozen.
00:37:02Stop. Stop.
00:37:06You're done.
00:37:07Get out of here. Pack your shit up.
00:37:08We don't do sexual harassment at this company.
00:37:11Okay, big boss man.
00:37:13I'll leave.
00:37:14But you're 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,
00:37:30guys 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.
00:37:42Oh, my God.
00:37:52Vanessa, what's wrong?
00:37:53Someone vandalized my car.
00:37:54What? Are you okay?
00:38:02Stop. There.
00:38:04I can't see their faces.
00:38:05They're wearing masks.
00:38:07The timestamp says it's from this afternoon,
00:38:09so it can't be...
00:38:10Bruno.
00:38:13He was in my office at that time.
00:38:16I'll send this to the authorities.
00:38:18I'm scared.
00:38:23I'll protect you.
00:38:26I'll protect you.
00:38:32Oh, there's my sweet daughter.
00:38:34Hi, dog. How's my mom doing?
00:38:36Hi, Vanessa.
00:38:38Your mother is doing exceptionally well.
00:38:40We couldn't be happier with her results.
00:38:42And as you know, the entire staff loves her.
00:38:45Just trying to make the best of it.
00:38:47Hopefully, this will be her last treatment
00:38:49and send her cancer into remission.
00:38:51The only sad thing is,
00:38:53Ms. Porter won't be a brightening up or oncology award anymore.
00:38:56Stop.
00:38:58I'll leave you two.
00:39:03How are you, honey?
00:39:04I'm good.
00:39:05Work's really busy?
00:39:07Well, you always manage to keep a handle on everything.
00:39:10I just can't wait to get out of here.
00:39:12Food sucks.
00:39:14Are you okay? You seem a bit distracted.
00:39:17I have to tell you something, Mom.
00:39:19I don't want you to worry.
00:39:21Well, I'm going to worry whether you tell me or not.
00:39:24I think I have a stalker.
00:39:26What?
00:39:27Someone vandalized my car.
00:39:28They wrote a bad word.
00:39:30A magic marker.
00:39:31Well, maybe some vinegar or something will help get rid of it.
00:39:34I know, Mom.
00:39:35I think it was somehow connected to this guy at work.
00:39:38This guy at work, Bruno Lombardi,
00:39:40he has been all over me and is starting to worry me out.
00:39:44You said Bruno Lombardi?
00:39:46John Lombardi's son?
00:39:49John Lombardi runs a crime family.
00:39:52Yes.
00:39:53And Bruno is quote-unquote heir to that throne.
00:39:57A crime family?
00:39:59Yeah.
00:40:00Your uncle had some run-in with them years ago.
00:40:03They're thugs.
00:40:04And if Bruno is anything like his father,
00:40:06you want to be swiping left, like the kids say.
00:40:09I think he got fired today.
00:40:10What if he blames me for everything?
00:40:12Kids today.
00:40:13It won't do any good.
00:40:15What if he blames me for everything?
00:40:17Kids today.
00:40:18They always want to blame somebody else for their issues.
00:40:20They can't take responsibility.
00:40:22But 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.
00:40:37And 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.
00:40:46I have to go, Mom. I love you.
00:41:07You need a replacement for the whore-mobile.
00:41:10No, I can't accept this.
00:41:12You have to.
00:41:13I really can't.
00:41:14Then why not?
00:41:16Sebastian, I'm worried.
00:41:21I found out that Bruno has ties to the mafia.
00:41:24No, our HR fully vetted him.
00:41:26I'm sure there's ways of skirting that.
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?
00:41:33I 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.
00:41:42Look, 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.
00:41:53And speaking of, I have a charity event that I'd like you to help me out with tonight.
00:41:58Charity?
00:41:59Yes, for cancer research.
00:42:01I would love to.
00:42:03But I don't know.
00:42:05Look, somebody just dropped out last minute.
00:42:07You'd be doing me a big, big favor.
00:42:09It's at the Biltmore Ballroom, 6pm 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.
00:42:40What?
00:42:47You must be the new model.
00:42:50You're on stage on 5.
00:42:52On stage?
00:42:53What is this?
00:42:55This is a charity auction. People are going to bid on you for dates.
00:42:58No, no, no, no. I can't do this.
00:43:01Are you kidding? This is going to be fun.
00:43:03And it's for a good cause, girl.
00:43:05You wouldn't mind a man bidding on me for a change?
00:43:08Okay.
00:43:10Going once, going twice.
00:43:12And she is sold to that gentleman over there for $500,000 for a special date.
00:43:19And this is a new charity record for us.
00:43:21Thank you for your generosity, sir.
00:43:25Oh.
00:43:28What you lucky here.
00:43:29I guess they let anyone into these charity events, don't they?
00:43:33Next on stage, please welcome Vanessa Porter.
00:43:40I just sold for $500,000.
00:43:42Set a new charity record.
00:43:44That crowd is going to eat you up.
00:43:46And remember, ladies and gents, your bids will be going towards a very special cause.
00:43:52Cancer Research Labs.
00:43:54Standing next to me is our beautiful last model, Vanessa Porter.
00:43:58The lucky winner will be taking this lovely lady on a date.
00:44:01And just dinner. No funny business.
00:44:03Okay? I'm talking to you, Mr. Wolstein.
00:44:06Mm-hmm.
00:44:07The bidding will start at $300,000.
00:44:11$500,000.
00:44:12$500,000.
00:44:14$600,000.
00:44:16Great. We have $600,000 over there.
00:44:19$700,000.
00:44:21We got $700,000 over here.
00:44:23$800,000.
00:44:24$800,000.
00:44:26$1 million.
00:44:32I just sold for $500,000.
00:44:34Set a new charity record.
00:44:36That crowd is going to eat you up.
00:44:38And remember, ladies and gents, your bids will be going towards a very special cause.
00:44:44Cancer Research Labs.
00:44:46Standing next to me is our beautiful last model, Vanessa Porter.
00:44:50The lucky winner will be taking this lovely lady on a date.
00:44:53And just dinner. No funny business.
00:44:56Okay? I'm talking to you, Mr. Wolstein.
00:44:58Mm-hmm.
00:44:59Mm-hmm.
00:45:00The bidding will start at $300,000.

00:45:29Sir, wow, what an amazing finale.
00:45:32Any other bids?
00:45:34Going once.
00:45:36Going twice.
00:45:38And sold to that gentleman over there for $1 million.
00:45:43What an amazing finale.
00:45:45Beating the previous record of...
00:45:47What's her name?
00:45:49Um, anyway, sir, please come up and claim your prize.
00:45:54This is going to be fun.
00:45:58You cannot go out on that date. It could be dangerous.
00:46:01I don't have a choice.
00:46:04You always have a choice.
00:46:06It'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.
00:46:20Okay. I trust you.
00:46:24I also want to see what Bruno's up to.
00:46:27What's his game plan?
00:46:32You know, for a winning bet of $1 million, you'd think they'd serve better hooch.
00:46:37I'd rather be home drinking my wine from a box.
00:46:42We have so much in common.
00:46:44I'd rather be at your home, too.
00:46:47What do you want from me?
00:46:49What are you talking about, baby?
00:46:51I just want to get to know you.
00:46:53Oh, I have been very clear.
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.
00:47:07I can make things very difficult for you and your little boyfriend.
00:47:16You know, this wine ain't that bad.
00:47:22Where are you going?
00:47:27The date ain't over yet, sweetheart.
00:47:29Can't 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.
00:48:08Knock, knock.
00:48:09Hey, how was the date?
00:48:13And 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.
00:48:20Sebastian, that's...
00:48:22No, no, it's fine. I have some work I need to be doing now.
00:48:35I'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, and I can spend some time with my grandkids.
00:49:25We'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.
00:49:47So, any plans for the weekend?
00:49:50How would I? I just found out I have the week off.
00:49:52Well, I'd like to take you to dinner.
00:49:54Sebastian, I...
00:49:57I can't, but thank you.
00:49:59My mom's still in the hospital, so I have to go visit her.
00:50:02Well, maybe she'd like a box of chocolates.
00:50:04Yeah, maybe she would.
00:50:11Can I come in?
00:50:14Can I come in?
00:50:17Please. I'm fine.
00:50:19I'd love to have a drink, but I can't.
00:50:21Well, no one offered you one.
00:50:23I can't because I'm pregnant.
00:50:27You're pregnant.
00:50:29I don't know how to tell you this, Sebastian, but you're the father.
00:50:33That's impossible. We broke up three months ago.
00:50:37Can't you tell? I'm three months pregnant.
00:50:40No, no, no. I can't be the father.
00:50:42Okay. Well, I have a paternity test and ultrasound that say different.
00:50:48Right there.
00:51:07Well, 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. You're so responsible.
00:51:18You need to go. I need time to think, Ruby.
00:51:21Leave that there for you.
00:51:24Okay.
00:51:33I don't know how I'm going to tell Vanessa, but I have to be honest with her.
00:51:37I think we got him.
00:51:41I hope so. You riding whore on her car did nothing.
00:51:45And me leaving those photos that I took when I broke into her house also didn't work.
00:51:49Okay. Well, I'm still out to grand for a fake paternity test.
00:51:52I really thought Sebastian hitting me would ruin this merger.
00:51:55Okay. I still want the merger to happen, moron.
00:51:57I just want the divorce to happen after so that I get half.
00:52:01And if that doesn't work, we'll move on to plan C and eliminate Sebastian altogether.
00:52:06I know exactly where he hangs out when he needs time alone.
00:52:10He'll pay for humiliating Elombardi.
00:52:22Okay.
00:52:45That is beautiful and delicious.
00:52:49Who's it from?
00:52:51I hope it's not from Bruno. Oh, my God.
00:52:57If you change your mind, I'm here for you.
00:53:01With all my love, Sebastian.
00:53:10It's a plane ticket to Italy.
00:53:16You must go.
00:53:18I'm not leaving, Mom.
00:53:22Two tickets.
00:53:27Mom, how are you feeling?
00:53:29I'm feeling like I need to see the Italian countryside and eat some authentic Italian.
00:53:36It's like we're going to Italy.
00:53:38Yes.
00:53:52Welcome.
00:53:54Hi.
00:53:58Nice to finally meet you.
00:53:59Oh, lovely to meet you, too.
00:54:00Yeah, come on in.
00:54:03So, Miss Porter, how are you doing?
00:54:07Wonderful. Just wonderful.
00:54:10Thank you so much for bringing my daughter and I out here.
00:54:14And that private jet experience, that is the way to travel.
00:54:18And the food was delicious.
00:54:20What's mine is yours, so feel free to make yourself at home.
00:54:29Mom, where are you going? Are you feeling okay?
00:54:31I'm fine. Absolutely awesome.
00:54:33I have never felt better.
00:54:36Yeah.
00:54:37So, I'm just off now to find myself an Italian man.
00:54:40Mom.
00:54:41You are in the right place, then.
00:54:43Do not encourage her.
00:54:45Do 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...
00:55:05Look, I don't care about...
00:55:06No, listen. We were never a thing.
00:55:07You and Bruno never had an affair?
00:55:09No, I faked the whole thing.
00:55:12Why?
00:55:14I didn't know how to break it off with you.
00:55:17I was afraid I was a distraction.
00:55:19So 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.
00:55:44And I also want to be honest with you about something.
00:55:48Ruby told me that she is pregnant and it's mine.
00:55:52What? How?
00:55:53Look, I don't believe her.
00:55:54But I still do need to play this thing right.
00:55:56And I hope that you can trust me on this.
00:56:01Okay.
00:56:03I trust you.
00:56:07I love you.
00:56:13I love you too.
00:56:43I love you.
00:56:59I love you, Vanessa Porter.
00:57:01I love you, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:57:11I should go, gentlemen.
00:57:13Okay.
00:57:15Mom?
00:57:18Mom?
00:57:32Hello?
00:57:33Who is this?
00:57:34I'm your mother.
00:57:35She will stay safe if you follow my every word.
00:57:38I'll text instructions to this phone.
00:57:40If you alert the authorities, your mother will be killed.
00:57:44I'm coming for you, mom.
00:57:49This is the address.
00:57:52Vanessa.
00:57:54Glad you made it.
00:57:56Looks like you brought your little boyfriend.
00:58:05He is Cundin Boss.
00:58:08So is she.
00:58:10Let's go inside.
00:58:14Look at you two.
00:58:16Wow.
00:58:17The 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 that...
00:58:31Shh, shh, shh.
00:58:33I always hated guys like you, Sebastian.
00:58:36Bootstrap guys.
00:58:37That's why I'm going to love leading you dry for everything you've worked for.
00:58:43I want your entire fortune.
00:58:46You son of a bitch!
00:58:49Calm down, Sebastian.
00:58:51You don't want to end up under this.
00:58:59Fine.
00:59:02For Teresa.
00:59:03We just need to know that she's alive.
00:59:11Mom?
00:59:13It's okay.
00:59:15Mom, it's okay.
00:59:17It's okay.
00:59:19Boo, boo.
00:59:21There's your proof of life.
00:59:23Transfer the money to this address using this phone.
00:59:28Come on.
00:59:34I'm so sorry that this is happening.
00:59:35This is all my fault.
00:59:36It's all my fault.
00:59:42This is going to wipe you out.
00:59:45It doesn't matter.
00:59:47As 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?
01:00:06I did.
01:00:17Oh my...
01:00:20Ruby, you killed him!
01:00:22Oh, oopsies.
01:00:24I'm such a klutz.
01:00:26Guess I won't be sharing that money after all.
01:00:31What, honey?
01:00:32You play chess?
01:00:33You know the pawns always die.
01:00:36Hands up!
01:00:41Why are you doing this?
01:00:42I gave you everything.
01:00:43Why?
01:00:45Because you left me.
01:00:47Nobody leaves me.
01:00:49I get everything I've always wanted.
01:00:52You know exactly why.
01:00:56When I met you, you were nothing.
01:00:59The only reason you married me was for my family name.
01:01:02For my clout.
01:01:03You used me to climb the social ladder.
01:01:06Then once you got to the top, you dropped me.
01:01:09And what, you think this whore can replace me?
01:01:12You're wrong.
01:01:14I 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.
01:01:24We could.
01:01:26Spare me, Mr. Perfect, please.
01:01:29I really can't.
01:01:31Hmm.
01:01:36No, no.
01:01:40Oopsies!
01:01:42Sorry, my little mouse.
01:01:44It won't happen again.
01:01:46Ruby, you can fix all of this.
01:01:48All you need to do is let Theresa go.
01:01:52Fix this?
01:01:53Yes.
01:01:55This is beyond repair, my dear husband.
01:01:57Revenge, retribution, whatever you want to call it.
01:02:00I finally have the power.
01:02:04Fuck you, bitch!
01:02:07Most 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.
01:02:17We could have been great, Sebastian.
01:02:20But you had to go ahead and ruin it all.
01:02:22Shut the fuck up, Ruby!
01:02:24I'm gonna kill you both.
01:02:26And when the police get here,
01:02:28they'll find me laying on the ground,
01:02:30covered in blood, screaming,
01:02:32help me!
01:02:34Help me!
01:02:36And I'll blame it on that mafia moron.
01:02:42Drop it!
01:02:44Drop it!
01:02:46Fuck.
01:03:12You okay?
01:03:13Yeah, I'm okay honey.
01:03:15I knew you'd come and get me.
01:03:17But next time, can we go to Paris, please?
01:03:20Okay.
01:03:23Miss Porter, I'm Detective Colombo.
01:03:26We've been monitoring the Lombardi crime family
01:03:28for several months now.
01:03:30And we have all the information we need
01:03:32to indict Ruby and Bruno in an extortion plot.
01:03:34But how?
01:03:36We had somebody on the inside.
01:03:41You're a cop?
01:03:43Yep.
01:03:45I thought you were undercover.
01:03:47The merger made us look into a possible crime link
01:03:49with Armstrong Enterprises.
01:03:51Turns out, Sebastian is legit.
01:03:53He just hired the wrong people.
01:03:55Luckily, Interpol connected me to the talent piece
01:03:57at just the right time.
01:03:59I would have never guessed.
01:04:01Guess those late night wine sessions
01:04:03were just research, huh?
01:04:05Getting us to your friend was just one of the benefits.
01:04:07Oh, uh, one more thing.
01:04:09Mr. Armstrong, your money's secure.
01:04:11We made sure the transfer didn't go through.
01:04:18And in business news,
01:04:20the Congress has approved the Bastion Enterprise merger.
01:04:22CEO Sebastian Armstrong
01:04:24is now the richest man in the world.
01:04:26This merger is a non-presented green deal.
01:04:28They have agreed to convert 70%
01:04:30of their carbon-producing plants
01:04:32into renewable energy power plants.
01:04:37Cheers to Teresa being cancer-free
01:04:39for six months.
01:04:40Cheers.
01:04:44And cheers to Vanessa
01:04:48for her hopefully making me
01:04:50the happiest man on earth.
01:04:52Oh, my God.
01:04:57Will you marry me?
01:05:03Yes.
01:05:04Yes.
01:05:13I promise to love you forever.
01:05:16I promise to love you forever.
