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.
00:27:12You know, my sister was implying today
00:27:15that I should tell someone where my new AI code is
00:27:18because I forget stuff.
00:27:20I'm sorry.
00:27:22I'm sorry.
00:27:24I'm sorry.
00:27:26I'm sorry.

00:27:36I'm sorry.
00:27:38I'm sorry.
00:27:39I'm sorry.
00:27:41I'm sorry.
00:27:43I'm sorry.
00:27:45Are you forgetful?
00:27:47I 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.
00:28:05forget so maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome and trustworthy
00:28:10well if you'd like go ahead I'll tell you but first I'm gonna hit the men's
00:28:21room this is it all I need to do is ask him where the code is and my mission is
