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

01:24:01Mom, why didn't you let me out of bed?
01:24:03The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:24:06I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window and I got kind of excited.
01:24:13Are you hungry?
01:24:14Thirsty no, thank you, but thank you. Oh, thank you sit down make yourself comfortable
