00:00:00Working under this much stress for a huge company.
00:00:30It's all for you, mom.
00:00:31You nervous about your first day?
00:00:34A little bit, but thank you for getting me the job.
00:00:38Of course. It's been crazy.
00:00:40The CEO, Sebastian Armstrong, is working a huge merger.
00:00:44He could be a two-time billionaire by the end of this deal.
00:00:47But isn't he already the richest man in the world?
00:00:49The youngest richest man in the world.
00:00:59I wonder if he remembers me from college.
00:01:10You're going to have to sacrifice a lot of late nights,
00:01:12and you're going to make enemies on your way to the top.
00:01:27Perfume is intoxicating.
00:01:31Sorry, um, what was I saying?
00:01:37Oh my God, what is that wretched smell?
00:01:40Maybe that's my perfume.
00:01:42That's it. It's God-awful.
00:01:45Deliveries go downstairs, sweetie.
00:01:47Actually, I am Mr. Armstrong's new receptionist.
00:01:50I used to have that job. Back then they used to hire class.
00:01:53I guess now they're willing to hire anyone off the street.
00:01:56Sorry to spit the truth, bitch, but you don't last a minute here.
00:02:07Oops. You should probably clean that up.
00:02:09Or I'll just tell them that you did it.
00:02:14Okay, uh, my job is to answer phone calls and keep Mr. Sebastian's schedule.
00:02:22It's good health insurance. It'll pay for my mom's medical bills.
00:02:28Get out of my way, loser.
00:02:33My shirt!
00:02:35I told you, wouldn't last a day here.
00:02:42Who is that?
00:02:44That is Sebastian's wife.
00:02:47His wife?
00:02:49Be careful around her. She's a viper.
00:02:51Ever know she's only with him for his money?
00:02:54Sebastian Armstrong.
00:02:56We're going out tonight.
00:03:02Ruby, I have already told you that I want a divorce.
00:03:06And you need to sign these papers.
00:03:18Honey, we're so good together.
00:03:22Our love burns white hot.
00:03:24Remember when we used to make love in the office executive shower?
00:03:28Ruby, we are over.
00:03:31Because you have made it abundantly clear that all you've ever been after is my money.
00:03:37Especially after I caught you stealing.
00:03:40Now I have a business meeting today with Robert Sanchez, and it is the largest business deal that I have ever had.
00:03:46Well, nobody denies Ruby Cromwell.
00:03:52Get up. You need to get out.
00:03:54Okay, I'm all sweaty from my workout. I need to take a shower, so go.
00:03:57Why don't I join? I mean, I've seen your six-pack abs before.
00:04:05You need to go. Now.
00:04:08Fine.
00:04:20Hey, thrift shop girl.
00:04:22Sebastian needs to see you in his office.
00:04:24Head to the door that says executive.
00:04:27Yeah, of course.
00:04:35Ruby, I thought I told you to...
00:04:37I am so sorry.
00:04:48I'm so sorry, Mr. Sebastian. Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong.
00:04:53It's okay.
00:04:55Don't worry about it.
00:05:07I can't believe I just saw Mr. Sebastian's Armstrong.
00:05:13I'm so embarrassed.
00:05:19Who am I fooling? I don't belong here.
00:05:23I'm eating a panini I made with a panini maker from a thrift store.
00:05:34The terms of this merger are favorable to both sides.
00:05:38Which means we're not even close to getting a deal done.
00:05:40Where should I set these down?
00:05:42I don't care. Anywhere.
00:05:49Oh, my God.
00:05:51I am so sorry.
00:05:53Get out of here.
00:05:54You're fired. Clear out your desk.
00:05:58You can't talk to your employee like that.
00:06:00I don't tell you how to run your company.
00:06:02She could sue you for wrongful termination.
00:06:05We can't do a merger with a company like that.
00:06:08Come to your senses.
00:06:11I'm sorry. Have we met before?
00:06:13Not funny.
00:06:14Look, why don't we start over?
00:06:16I'm Sebastian Armstrong.
00:06:17Would you like a job at my multi-billion dollar company?
00:06:20I don't think so.
00:06:22What?
00:06:23Oh, well, I don't want to work for a boss that's an asshole.
00:06:27He doesn't even know how to apologize.
00:06:30No one's ever talked to me that way.
00:06:34That takes guts.
00:06:36And I like that.
00:06:38We need people like you at this company that stand up for themselves.
00:06:42Well, I'm sorry if I'm overly honest.
00:06:45I'm just tired of eating my grilled cheese panini in the bathroom.
00:06:50Wow, I haven't laughed like that in a long time.
00:06:52I needed that.
00:06:54I'm sorry that I snapped like that in the office.
00:06:57This merger's just been beyond stressful.
00:07:01Will you accept my humblest apologies?
00:07:08Of course.
00:07:11And I'm sorry for spilling coffee on your very expensive shirt.
00:07:19Looks like we're both in need of some new digs.
00:07:23Tell you what, why don't you go down to Latour Boutique and get yourself a new outfit?
00:07:27I can't afford Latour Boutique.
00:07:30You can with this.
00:07:32No, I can't take that.
00:07:36I insist. Go down, get yourself a new outfit, and come back tomorrow ready to work.
00:07:50Anyway, that was just the worst date.
00:07:54Did you know, when I was in college, Sebastian came to my school and gave a young entrepreneur lecture.
00:08:05He was so charming.
00:08:07And knowledgeable.
00:08:09Uh-oh.
00:08:10Uh-oh?
00:08:11Yeah, I think you might be in love.
00:08:16Whatever.
00:08:18Seriously, you should ride his baloney pony.
00:08:22Might land you that big promotion.
00:08:24I am not the ruthless type.
00:08:26Plus, I think he'd be into it.
00:08:29Man at his level's always into that.
00:08:31I think he's different.
00:08:32Men are all the same.
00:08:34Oh, coming from someone who swipes right on everyone.
00:08:38Alright, alright.
00:08:43Hello?
00:08:47What do you mean?
00:08:50Okay. I'll be there.
00:08:55Everything okay?
00:08:56No, my mom has cancer.
00:09:00I'm so sorry.
00:09:03She's doing better and has one treatment to go, but it is expensive.
00:09:10That's why I really need to keep this job.
00:09:14Of course.
00:09:21Hi! How dare you serve me with divorce papers in public!
00:09:25You embarrass me in front of all the ladies at the salon!
00:09:29Oh, God.
00:09:30I thought we were going to work this out.
00:09:32We're not going to work this out. Just sign the papers.
00:09:35No! I want to go over every single line of this.
00:09:39My mother gave us that chandelier in the rumpus room. It's mine!
00:09:42That's fine. What else?
00:09:44There's a lot else.
00:09:47Oh, God.
00:09:49Vanessa, can you please move my 12 o'clock appointment to the end of the day?
00:09:53And also, can you bring us some lunch? Thank you.
00:09:56Yes, Sebastian.
00:09:57I mean, Mr. Sebastian.
00:09:59I mean, Mr. Armstrong.
00:10:04Getting real chummy with the help.
00:10:09She works for me.
00:10:10Oh, does she?
00:10:12Remember when these used to work for you?
00:10:17Can we just keep this professional, please?
00:10:19I used to be your receptionist.
00:10:21Don't think this two-bit whore can come in and replace me.
00:10:24I'm class elegant. She's homeless.
00:10:26Shelf.
00:10:27Here you are, sir.
00:10:28Thank you, Vanessa.
00:10:32Thank you, receptionist girl. That'll be all.
00:10:38Oopsies. Can you get that?
00:10:42Sure.
00:10:48Oh!
00:10:49Oh!
00:10:53Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry. I'm such a klutz.
00:11:02Sit down.
00:11:03We are going to go over every single line of this, and you know what?
00:11:06We're actually going to add some clauses there.
00:11:08I'd like a house in the Hamptons. I want a new cappuccino machine.
00:11:11I want a cashmere sweater.
00:11:12We are going in on this, or I'm not signing!
00:11:16Okay.
00:11:17Have her bring a new plate in.
00:11:23Hey, I...
00:11:24I'm sorry, you go.
00:11:27I just wanted to apologize for Ruby's clumsiness.
00:11:31You know, divorces can be hard.
00:11:33I needed to get this dry-cleaned anyway.
00:11:35Oh, you should put that on the company account.
00:11:38And I wanted to let you know that you're doing a really good job here.
00:11:41Thank you, Mr. Armstrong.
00:11:43Yeah, of course.
00:11:47I think I know where I know you from.
00:11:50You do?
00:11:51Yes, Va Tech. I gave a lecture there a couple years ago.
00:11:54I can't believe you remember that.
00:11:56Yeah, Chantel Perfume No. 5. Is that it?
00:12:01You know, I thought about finding you after that lecture,
00:12:03and going to the dorms and banging on some doors.
00:12:07Well, I wish you did.
00:12:09But it might have been frowned upon.
00:12:12From being a lecturer?
00:12:14Maybe some sort of power imbalance.
00:12:17Yeah, I don't think the university would have appreciated me taking advantage of my position.
00:12:24Interesting.
00:12:26I always thought you took risks.
00:12:32Hey, boss.
00:12:33Congrats on the merger.
00:12:35Thank you. Yeah, I couldn't have done it with everybody in this room,
00:12:38but it's not over yet, but we'll get there soon.
00:12:41Thank you. Thank you.
00:12:448 p.m. tonight.
00:12:56He wants me to meet him at the fanciest hotel in the city?
00:13:11I'm sorry.
00:13:12I'm sorry.
00:13:13I'm sorry.
00:13:14I'm sorry.
00:13:15I'm sorry.
00:13:16I'm sorry.
00:13:17I'm sorry.
00:13:18I'm sorry.
00:13:19I'm sorry.
00:13:20I'm sorry.
00:13:21I'm sorry.
00:13:22I'm sorry.
00:13:23I'm sorry.
00:13:24I'm sorry.
00:13:25I'm sorry.
00:13:26I'm sorry.
00:13:27I'm sorry.
00:13:28I'm sorry.
00:13:29I'm sorry.
00:13:30I'm sorry.
00:13:31I'm sorry.
00:13:32I'm sorry.
00:13:33I'm sorry.
00:13:34I'm sorry.
00:13:35I'm sorry.
00:13:36I'm sorry.
00:13:37I'm sorry.
00:13:38I'm sorry.
00:13:39I'm sorry.
00:13:40I'm sorry.
00:13:41I'm sorry.
00:13:52Well, that dress fits you perfectly.
00:13:56How did you know my size?
00:13:58My grandfather used to work at a carnival.
00:14:00I could guess your weight, too, but I'd rather just buy a dress for you.
00:14:04This room must have cost a fortune.
00:14:10Yeah, they tend to comp the room when you own the hotel.
00:14:20I'm used to my wine coming in a box.
00:14:24You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:28No one has ever said that to me, so that's not where I'm from.
00:15:54I hope you're not too good for box wine though.
00:16:11Oh, I am never too good for box wine.
00:16:14Oh gosh, this has been such a whirlwind.
00:16:19I am falling so hard.
00:16:21Just be careful, honey.
00:16:25I know.
00:16:26I'm trying to take it slow.
00:16:29I mean that merger is heating up.
00:16:31All the stockholders in the company have their eye on him right now.
00:16:34They might be looking to make it a hostile takeover.
00:16:37You're the only person I've told.
00:16:39We both decided to be discreet.
00:16:41Last thing he needs is media attention.
00:16:43It's also the last thing you need with your mom.
00:16:45How is Teresa doing?
00:16:46Better.
00:16:47They say she has one more treatment and hopefully she'll be in remission.
00:16:51That's great news.
00:16:53I really need to keep this job.
00:17:01Were you just going to stand there?
00:17:02We're going to get to work.
00:17:03Do you have any idea what you're doing?
00:17:06We're getting so close to finalizing this merger.
00:17:09Of course I know what I'm doing, Leroy.
00:17:28Are you spying on me?
00:17:32Not me.
00:17:34But somebody is.
00:17:36The papers came across my desk earlier today and I had to pay a pretty good penny to keep
00:17:41them out of the press.
00:17:43Not a married man.
00:17:44I can date somebody.
00:17:46Your divorce with Ruby isn't final.
00:17:48She won't sign the papers, Robert.
00:17:50Any way you cut it, Sebastian, it can be a problem.
00:17:53The board is wary of getting into business with another billionaire playboy.
00:17:58They like stability, especially after that one in Gotham went rogue.
00:18:03Maybe it would help to be a happily married man.
00:18:08I don't think that exists.
00:18:10I got news for you, pal.
00:18:13It does.
00:18:1435 years.
00:18:21I wish I could tell the world how I feel about her.
00:18:24But the world finding out about us during my divorce would hurt the merger.
00:18:33We are playing with fire, but I care about him so much, I just can't jeopardize anything.
00:18:46Well, well, well.
00:18:48What do we have here?
00:18:51Excuse me?
00:18:52I'm Lombardi.
00:18:53Bruno Lombardi.
00:18:54Hi.
00:18:55I'm Vanessa, Mr. Armstrong's new assistant.
00:18:59We have so much in common.
00:19:01I'm also new at Armstrong Enterprises.
00:19:03I'm here to dictate the merger.
00:19:05But why talk about work while at work when we can talk about play while we play?
00:19:09What?
00:19:10Happy hour.
00:19:11Teenies only.
00:19:12Teenies?
00:19:13Martinis.
00:19:14Teenies to bikinis.
00:19:15Oh.
00:19:16That's funny.
00:19:17Yeah.
00:19:18What do you say we get out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini?
00:19:30Are all your pick-up lines martini-based?
00:19:32Yeah.
00:19:33Ugh.
00:19:36We need to talk.
00:19:39Ruby, I didn't see you on my schedule.
00:19:42Oh, okay.
00:19:43I'm pretty sure I don't need to be on your schedule because I'm your wife.
00:19:47XY.
00:19:48What do you need?
00:19:49What's the problem?
00:19:50I'm still unhappy with the divorce terms.
00:19:53How can you be unhappy?
00:19:54It's fair.
00:19:55I paid you more than half.
00:19:59I still want you.
00:20:01No hippie voice, Ruby.
00:20:03Okay, we're through.
00:20:05Fine.
00:20:06Clearly you don't want me anymore.
00:20:07But I do know that you want me to sign before the merger.
00:20:10The merger has nothing to do with you.
00:20:13What if I wanted to have something to do with me?
00:20:15You are entitled to none of that.
00:20:17We'll see about that.
00:20:20You need to get out of here before I call security.
00:20:22You wouldn't dare.
00:20:29You need to go.
00:20:30Come on.
00:20:31Out the door.
00:20:39Hey there.
00:20:40Hey, sorry.
00:20:41I'm wiped.
00:20:43I know that you overheard Ruby yelling at me.
00:20:47It's none of my business.
00:20:48It's over between her and I.
00:20:50She does not think so.
00:20:53So, would you like to have dinner with me?
00:20:57I'm not really hungry.
00:21:00You sure about that?
00:21:04I don't think it's a good idea.
00:21:07Look, I know that we've both been under a lot of stress.
00:21:10We can just keep it simple.
00:21:12Have some good food, take our mind off things.
00:21:14No pressure.
00:21:15He's right.
00:21:16We're both under a lot of stress.
00:21:18But I can't put my stress on him.
00:21:20So, dinner?
00:21:22Keep it simple.
00:21:23Keep it simple.
00:21:27This is simple.
00:21:29You're worth it.
00:21:35I'm worried about the merger.
00:21:41You too.
00:21:42I'm not worried about you closing it.
00:21:44I'm worried about us.
00:21:46Look, it's almost a done deal.
00:21:48All eyes are on you.
00:21:50I'm not worried about you closing it.
00:21:52I'm worried about us.
00:21:55All eyes are on you.
00:21:57With this and your divorce,
00:21:59don't you worry that this will make the company think you're unfit?
00:22:01Unfit for what?
00:22:03The merger is just money.
00:22:05And I have money, but I don't have love.
00:22:09I want to be with you.
00:22:13I don't know.
00:22:17Why are you so hesitant?
00:22:19I don't know if I can tell him.
00:22:22What's going on?
00:22:25My mom is...
00:22:27cancer.
00:22:29She has cancer,
00:22:31and I just need to focus on work right now
00:22:33because her bills are mounting up.
00:22:35You know I can take care of that for you.
00:22:37No, Sebastian, that's not why I'm telling you.
00:22:39I don't want your charity.
00:22:41My mom always taught me to earn everything I get.
00:22:47Well, she sounds like a strong woman.
00:22:49She's the strongest woman I know.
00:22:51I admire you.
00:22:54I don't need to be admired.
00:22:56I need to be understood.
00:22:58Understood.
00:23:02I think we should slow down a little.
00:23:04What are you talking about?
00:23:06Maybe just be friends.
00:23:10I don't think I could just be friends with you.
00:23:12I don't think I can be anything more.
00:23:24I see you.
00:23:26What?
00:23:28I see you.
00:23:30You're a rising star of this company.
00:23:32I am just trying to work here.
00:23:34I don't need any distractions.
00:23:36Let me guess.
00:23:38Your job's a joke.
00:23:40You're broke.
00:23:42Your love life's the OA.
00:23:44It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
00:23:46It hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
00:23:48or even your year.
00:23:50No.
00:23:52Babe, come on.
00:23:56Release the attention.
00:24:02Maybe this is for the better.
00:24:04I have to get Sebastian to end this.
00:24:06This is the only way.
00:24:08Uh, yeah.
00:24:10That's the spot.
00:24:12That's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:24:15Oh.
00:24:17Sorry, Mr. Sebastian.
00:24:19Hey, Sebastian.
00:24:21Don't worry.
00:24:23We're off the clock.
00:24:27This is hot.
00:24:29Don't ever touch me again.
00:24:33I'm sorry.
00:24:35I'm sorry.
00:24:37I'm sorry.
00:24:39I'm sorry.
00:24:41I'm sorry.
00:24:44I love you, Sebastian.
00:24:50Playing hard to get.
00:24:52I like that.
00:24:54Bruno likey.
00:24:58You're a big star, and you got this.
00:25:00She's yours.
00:25:02Two can play this game.
00:25:04I'll be there for you.
00:25:06Hey, I'm sorry about...
00:25:12There's nothing to be sorry about.
00:25:14We're both adults. You don't owe me anything.
00:25:16He was just being...
00:25:18I don't care about him.
00:25:20I just...
00:25:22I don't know. I thought that you were different.
00:25:24I... I have to let this happen.
00:25:26You know what? I think you're right.
00:25:28I think that we should just be friends.
00:25:32No.
00:25:34More like work colleagues.
00:25:38Because I had hoped that we were going to build something together.
00:25:42But my life, my business wasn't built off hope.
00:25:45It was built off hard work.
00:25:47Sebastian...
00:25:48No, and I was blinded by what I thought was such an amazing person.
00:25:54But the reality is you're just like everyone else.
00:25:58You're just after my money.
00:26:01Sebastian, I don't...
00:26:09How about we finish where we started?
00:26:11Get off.
00:26:12What about all that break room talk?
00:26:13I thought I told you never to touch me again.
00:26:16Let's pretend I didn't hear that.
00:26:18Get off me. Bruno, I'm not interested.
00:26:21I don't think you got interested.
00:26:23Fuck you.
00:26:25Fuck you.
00:26:30You'll regret this.
00:26:36Tell me everything.
00:26:39It was terrible, what I did.
00:26:41But this merger was so important to Sebastian.
00:26:43I couldn't risk losing it for him.
00:26:45You were never going to lose it for him.
00:26:47I can't be a distraction to him.
00:26:49Maybe he needs a distraction.
00:26:52What did you do?
00:26:55I almost kissed Bruno.
00:26:58The aggressive guy?
00:26:59I only did it to make Sebastian forget about me so he could think about the merger.
00:27:04I hope you know what you're doing.
00:27:10I wish we had met in college.
00:27:13Things would be so different.
00:27:20Kate, I don't know how to fix this.
00:27:21Girl, you can't fix being in love.
00:27:27What do you think Sebastian's doing right now?
00:27:35What is wrong with you?
00:27:37I mean, you have everything.
00:27:39And even after this merger, you'll have even more.
00:27:42You can have any woman you desire.
00:27:47Boy, don't ask I'm humble.
00:27:52You'd give it all up and be with her, wouldn't you?
00:27:59Well, if you love her, then you should just go to her.
00:28:06What do you have to drink in this dump?
00:28:08Ruby, what are you doing here? Come in.
00:28:11I'm sorry, I was a cranky bitch earlier.
00:28:14What are you doing here?
00:28:15Well, things got a little heated earlier.
00:28:17And I thought I should come make amends.
00:28:21Is it me?
00:28:25Why is it hot in here?
00:28:51I've missed you.
00:28:53We were so good together.
00:29:08Let me take you to the bedroom.
00:29:16No, no, hey, I'm sorry.
00:29:18I can't do this.
00:29:20Look, we had something in the past, Ruby.
00:29:25Just put this on.
00:29:27Is this about that bitch?
00:29:31Don't call her that.
00:29:33You'll regret this, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:29:49No.
00:29:55Hey, hey, get off of me.
00:30:00Hey, hey, hey, are you okay?
00:30:02What is that?
00:30:06You must have dropped it.
00:30:10My God, somebody's been spying on us.
00:30:19Thanks for the statement, ma'am.
00:30:21We'll keep an eye out for the perp.
00:30:23In the meantime, try to get some rest.
00:30:26Good night.
00:30:32Yeah, of course.
00:30:36How did you know where I lived?
00:30:39I looked your address up at work.
00:30:42I was coming over to apologize.
00:30:44About what?
00:30:47Look, I was a jerk earlier, and I overreacted.
00:30:50It's okay.
00:30:52Vanessa.
00:30:55People in my position have a very hard time with dating.
00:30:58Everyone only seems to want one thing from me,
00:31:01and that's why I have to be protective.
00:31:03I've been blinded by love before.
00:31:05Ruby?
00:31:07That obvious, huh? She's, um...
00:31:09Bitch?
00:31:11Yeah.
00:31:13She also can put this hold on people.
00:31:16And I didn't realize it till much later that she's just a gold digger.
00:31:21And she never loved me. She only loved my bank account.
00:31:24And that's why I tend to be defensive.
00:31:27Sebastian, maybe it's just not the right time for us.
00:31:31You have this merger. I don't want you to lose sight of it.
00:31:37And you have your mother.
00:31:39How's she doing?
00:31:41She has her last treatment coming up, so we're hopeful.
00:31:45Yeah.
00:31:47She knows that I put off my career goals to take care of her.
00:31:51And she carries that guilt.
00:31:55The other day, she said that sometimes she wished she had died.
00:32:01So I could live.
00:32:04She's a strong woman, just like you.
00:32:06Look, I appreciate your generosity.
00:32:09But as of now, all I'm asking is that we remain boss and secretary.
00:32:18Deal?
00:32:22Deal.
00:32:24Under one condition.
00:32:26What is it?
00:32:29You replace this.
00:32:33Sure.
00:32:34You still have my black Amex card?
00:32:36I never used it.
00:32:38Okay. Well, you need to go down to La Tour Boutique and get yourself another cocktail dress.
00:32:43I'm not going to do that.
00:32:47Well, you need to because I need you to attend a dinner with me.
00:32:52No dates.
00:32:53No, no, it's not a date. Personal assistant. Strictly business.
00:32:57You feed me the names of people that I should know.
00:33:00It's boring, but the food is good.
00:33:04So what do you say?
00:33:05Deal? That's my one condition.
00:33:08You really are a good negotiator.
00:33:15You should probably go.
00:33:19Okay.
00:33:29Can I help you?
00:33:30Yes, yes. I am looking for a dress.
00:33:32Looks like you need a whole new wardrobe.
00:33:34Oh, probably.
00:33:37Sorry, we don't have anything in the Hobo Casual collection.
00:33:41Oh, I know, I know. I don't usually shop at places like this.
00:33:45But I actually walk by here all the time and stare at that dress in the window.
00:33:50Not to cut you off, I'm pretty busy here and we only serve to high-end clients.
00:33:57Okay.
00:34:00Maybe I'm in the wrong store.
00:34:02Maybe you are.
00:34:04I should probably go.
00:34:05You should.
00:34:09No, wait just a minute. What is going on here?
00:34:11I don't belong here.
00:34:12Of course you do.
00:34:13Mr. Sebastian Armstrong, welcome.
00:34:15You weren't very welcoming to my friend here.
00:34:17I didn't know she was...
00:34:18That shouldn't matter.
00:34:19You don't have to do this.
00:34:21Yes, I do.
00:34:22You should treat everyone who walks through that door with respect.
00:34:25I'm so sorry, Mr. Armstrong. I'm really sorry.
00:34:29My boyfriend just dumped me and I'm in a terrible mood.
00:34:32It's okay.
00:34:33I actually have those same sneakers that you're wearing. I love them.
00:34:36Also that dress in the window, I love it too.
00:34:39But I'm jealous because I know it'll look way better on you.
00:34:42Plus I have at least food. I'm oversharing.
00:34:45Just wrap up the dress. We have a big event to attend to tonight.
00:35:03Sorry, I know that this is a lot.
00:35:05I don't want to let you down.
00:35:07You won't. Just stick with me. I have some cocktail hour negotiating.
00:35:15Oh, God.
00:35:17I didn't realize they let trash in here.
00:35:19Ruby, this isn't the time or the place.
00:35:21Sebastian, you haven't answered any of my phone calls.
00:35:24Our divorce terms are unacceptable.
00:35:26I'm sorry.
00:35:27I'm sorry.
00:35:28I'm sorry.
00:35:29I'm sorry.
00:35:30Our divorce terms are unacceptable.
00:35:32I'm sorry, Ms. Cromwell.
00:35:33But Sebastian is about to give his speech.
00:35:35I'm sorry.
00:35:36Who the fuck are you?
00:35:37This is a conversation between my husband and I.
00:35:41You mean your ex-husband.
00:35:51Oh, no.
00:35:52I'm so sorry.
00:35:53I'm such a klutz.
00:36:00Ladies and gentlemen, may we present Mr. Sebastian Armstrong.
00:36:09I think it's about time we got legal involved to talk about these terms and details.
00:36:13Before it goes to legal, should I have my guys look at it?
00:36:15Your guys?
00:36:17Just keep taking notes.
00:36:19You're new here, so maybe you can learn a thing or two about negotiating.
00:36:23Pretty sure I could teach you a thing or two.
00:36:30Thank you, Vanessa.
00:36:33Let me know if you need anything else.
00:36:35I need some of that.
00:36:37Damn, she's hot.
00:36:39Nothing wrong with dipping the pen in the company ink, am I right, boys?
00:36:45I didn't know that you two were an item.
00:36:46There's a lot you don't know about me, Seb.
00:36:49It's Mr. Armstrong.
00:36:51Oh, so formal.
00:36:53This company needed a little joke like me.
00:36:56Guys, this isn't a pissing contest.
00:36:59Yeah, I know.
00:37:01Because I already got the prize.
00:37:03So, you are dating.
00:37:05I mean, if you call getting freaky in a two-star hotel dating.
00:37:09Come on, keep it classy.
00:37:12You won't be doing anything classy tonight.
00:37:14Respect the workplace.
00:37:16You chill.
00:37:18You ain't got money like us.
00:37:20Cheap sluts like Vanessa are a dime a dozen.
00:37:26Stop. Stop.
00:37:30You're done.
00:37:31Get out of here. Pack your shit up.
00:37:32We don't do sexual harassment at this company.
00:37:35Okay, big boss man.
00:37:37I'll leave.
00:37:38But you're gonna regret this.
00:37:40You have no idea who I am and what I'm capable of.
00:37:44Just leave, son. It's over.
00:37:49Don't worry, Sebastian.
00:37:51I got your back.
00:37:53Back in my day, guys like him would have gotten it much worse.
00:37:57This won't affect our negotiations at all.
00:38:00It's good to be rid of the bad energy in the room.
00:38:07Oh my God.
00:38:16Vanessa, what's wrong?
00:38:17Someone vandalized my car.
00:38:19What? Are you okay?
00:38:22Stop. There.
00:38:30I can't see their faces. They're wearing masks.
00:38:33The time stamp says it's from this afternoon, so it can't be...
00:38:36Bruno.
00:38:39He was in my office at that time.
00:38:42I'll send this to the authorities.
00:38:44I'm scared.
00:38:46I'll protect you.
00:38:52Oh, there's my sweet daughter.
00:38:54Hi, dog. How's my mom doing?
00:38:56Hi, Vanessa. Your mother is doing exceptionally well.
00:39:00We couldn't be happier with her results.
00:39:02And as you know, the entire staff loves her.
00:39:05Just trying to make the best of it.
00:39:07Hopefully, this will be her last treatment,
00:39:09and she'll be fine.
00:39:12Stop.
00:39:14I'll leave you two.
00:39:18How are you, honey?
00:39:19I'm good.
00:39:20Work's really busy.
00:39:22Well, you always manage to keep a handle on everything.
00:39:25I just can't wait to get out of here.
00:39:27Food sucks.
00:39:30I'm sorry, Vanessa.
00:39:32It's okay.
00:39:34It's okay.
00:39:36It's okay.
00:39:39Food sucks.
00:39:41Are you okay? You seem a bit distracted.
00:39:44I have to tell you something, Mom.
00:39:46I don't want you to worry.
00:39:48Well, I'm gonna worry whether you tell me or not.
00:39:51I think I have a stalker.
00:39:53What?
00:39:54Someone vandalized my car. They wrote a bad word.
00:39:57A magic marker.
00:39:58Well, maybe some vinegar or something will help get rid of it.
00:40:01I know, Mom.
00:40:02I think it was somehow connected to this guy at work.
00:40:05This guy at work, Bruno Lombardi,
00:40:07he has been all up for me and is starting to worry me out.
00:40:11You said Bruno Lombardi?
00:40:13John Lombardi's son?
00:40:18John Lombardi runs a crime family.
00:40:21Yes.
00:40:22And Bruno is quote-unquote heir to that throne.
00:40:26A crime family?
00:40:28Yeah.
00:40:29Your uncle had some run-in with them years ago.
00:40:32They're thugs.
00:40:33And if Bruno is anything like his father,
00:40:35he's swiping left like the kids say.
00:40:38I think he got fired today.
00:40:39What if he blames me for everything?
00:40:41Kids today, they always want to blame somebody else for their issues.
00:40:44They can't take responsibility.
00:40:46But not my baby girl.
00:40:51The Lombardi crime family accused of racketeering drugs.
00:40:54Human trafficking?
00:40:56Apparently, he's still running the crime family from prison.
00:41:01And he's grooming Bruno to take over.
00:41:03They've got some troubles going on.
00:41:05So, honey, please be careful.
00:41:07I have to warn Sebastian.
00:41:10I have to go, Mom. I love you.
00:41:12Bye.
00:41:31You need a replacement for the whore-mobile.
00:41:34No, I can't accept this.
00:41:36You have to.
00:41:37I really can't.
00:41:38Then why not?
00:41:40Sebastian, I'm worried.
00:41:45I found out that Bruno has ties to the mafia.
00:41:48No, our HR fully vetted him.
00:41:50I'm sure there's ways of skirting that.
00:41:52Word is, he's being groomed to become head of the crime family.
00:41:56Then why would he want a job here?
00:41:57I don't know. He could be dangerous.
00:42:00Look, you don't need to worry about that anymore.
00:42:02Because I fired him.
00:42:04That's why I'm worried.
00:42:07Look, I have the best security that money can buy.
00:42:10We don't need to be intimidated by people like Bruno.
00:42:14And we need to focus on the good that we can do.
00:42:17And speaking of, I have a charity event that I'd like you to help me out with tonight.
00:42:22Charity?
00:42:24Yes, for cancer research.
00:42:26I would love to.
00:42:28But I don't know.
00:42:30Look, somebody just dropped out last minute.
00:42:32You'd be doing me a big, big favor.
00:42:34One more ballroom, 6 p.m. tonight?
00:42:39One condition.
00:42:41Okay. What?
00:42:46You take the car back.
00:42:50Fine.
00:42:52See you tonight?
00:42:57Damn. He is a good negotiator.
00:43:11You must be the new model.
00:43:14You're on stage on 5.
00:43:16On stage? What is this?
00:43:19This is a charity auction. People are going to bid on you for dates.
00:43:23No, no, no, no. I can't do this.
00:43:25No kidding. This is going to be fun.
00:43:27And it's for a good cause, girl.
00:43:29Wouldn't mind a man bidding on me for a change.
00:43:31Yeah.
00:43:34Going once, going twice.
00:43:37And she is sold to that gentleman over there for $500,000 for a special date.

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