00:00:00Working under this much stress for a huge company, it's all for you mom.
00:00:08You nervous about your first day?
00:00:10A little bit, but thank you for getting me the job.
00:00:14Of course.
00:00:15It's been crazy. The CEO, Sebastian Armstrong, is working a huge merger.
00:00:20He could be a two-time billionaire by the end of this deal.
00:00:23But isn't he already the richest man in the world?
00:00:25The youngest. Richest man in the world.
00:00:30I wonder if he remembers me from college.
00:00:45You're going to have to sacrifice a lot of late nights and you're going to make enemies on your way to the top.
00:01:00The perfume was intoxicated.
00:01:08Sorry, um, what was I saying?
00:01:10Oh my god, what is that wretched smell?
00:01:16Oh, maybe that's my perfume.
00:01:18That's it. It's god-awful.
00:01:21The deliveries go downstairs, sweetie.
00:01:23Uh, actually, I am Mr. Armstrong's new receptionist.
00:01:26Mmm, I used to have that job.
00:01:28Back then they used to hire class.
00:01:30I guess now they're willing to hire anyone off the street.
00:01:32Sorry to spit the truth, bitch, but we don't last a minute here.
00:01:43Oops! You should probably clean that up.
00:01:45Or I'll just tell them that you did it.
00:01:47Okay, uh, my job is to answer phone calls and keep Mr. Sebastian's schedule.
00:01:57It's, it's good health insurance.
00:01:59It'll take my mom's medical bills.
00:02:03Get out of my way, loser.
00:02:08My shirt!
00:02:10I told you, wouldn't last a day here.
00:02:17Who is that?
00:02:19That is Sebastian's wife.
00:02:22His wife?!
00:02:24Be careful around her.
00:02:26She's a viper.
00:02:27Everyone knows she's only with him for his money.
00:02:29Sebastian Armstrong.
00:02:31We're going out tonight.
00:02:33Ruby, I have already told you that I want a divorce.
00:02:42And you need to sign these papers.
00:02:45Hmm.
00:02:54Honey, we're so good together.
00:02:59Our love burns white hot.
00:03:01Remember when we used to make love in the office executive shower?
00:03:04Mm.
00:03:05Ruby, we are over.
00:03:08Because you have made it abundantly clear
00:03:11that all you've ever been after is my money.
00:03:14Especially after I caught you stealing.
00:03:16Now, I have a business meeting today with Robert Sanchez,
00:03:19and it is the largest business deal that I have ever had.
00:03:22Mm.
00:03:23Well, nobody denies Ruby Cromwell.
00:03:29Get up.
00:03:30Get out.
00:03:31Okay?
00:03:32I'm all sweaty for my workout.
00:03:33I need to take a shower, so go.
00:03:34Why don't I join?
00:03:35I mean, I've seen your six-pack abs before.
00:03:42You need to go.
00:03:43Now.
00:03:45Fine.
00:03:46Hey, thrift shop girl.
00:03:59Sebastian needs to see you in his office.
00:04:01Head to the door that says executive.
00:04:04Yeah, of course.
00:04:05Mm-hmm.
00:04:06Ruby, I thought I told you to-
00:04:12I am so sorry.
00:04:15I'm so sorry, Mr. Sebastian.

00:12:45and
00:12:45so
00:13:16Wow, that dress fits you perfectly.
00:13:32How did you know my size?
00:13:34My grandfather used to work at a carnival.
00:13:36I could guess your weight too, but I'd rather just buy a dress for you.
00:13:44This room must have cost a fortune.
00:13:46Yeah, they tend to comp the room when you own the hotel.
00:13:55I'm used to my wine coming in a box.
00:14:00You are one of a kind and a supporter.
00:14:02No one has ever said that to me, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:14:06You're one of a couple knows the top, but I'm used to my fortune.
00:14:25I'm used to myself.
00:15:26I hope you're not too good for boxed wine, though.
00:15:46Oh, I am never too good for boxed wine.
00:15:50Oh, gosh.
00:15:52This has been such a whirlwind.
00:15:54I am falling so hard.
00:15:57Just be careful, honey.
00:15:58I know.
00:16:02I'm trying to take it slow.
00:16:05I mean, that merger is heating up.
00:16:07All the stockholders in the company have their eye on him right now.
00:16:09They might be looking to make it a hostile takeover.
00:16:13You're the only person I've told.
00:16:14We both decided to be discreet.
00:16:16The last thing he needs is media attention.
00:16:19It's also the last thing you need with your mom.
00:16:21How is Teresa doing?
00:16:22Better.
00:16:23They say she has one more treatment, and hopefully she'll be in remission.
00:16:26That's great news.
00:16:29I really need to keep this job.
00:16:30Are you just going to stand there, or are we going to get to work?
00:16:39Do you have any idea what you're doing?
00:16:41We're getting so close to finalizing this merger.
00:16:44Of course I know what I'm doing.
00:16:45Are you just fine with me?
00:17:07Not me.
00:17:09But somebody is.
00:17:11Those came across my desk earlier today,
00:17:14and I had to pay a pretty good penny to keep them out of the press.
00:17:18I'm not a married man.
00:17:20I can date somebody.
00:17:21Your divorce with Ruby isn't final.
00:17:23She won't sign the papers, Robert.
00:17:25Any way you cut it, Sebastian, it can be a problem.
00:17:29The board is wary of getting into business with another billionaire playboy.
00:17:34They like stability, especially after that one in Gotham went rogue.
00:17:39Maybe it would help to be a happily married man.
00:17:42I don't think that exists.
00:17:46I got news for you, pal.
00:17:48It does.
00:17:4935 years.
00:17:50I wish I could tell the world how I feel about her.
00:18:00But the world finding out about us during my divorce would hurt the merger.
00:18:08We are playing with fire, but I care about him so much,
00:18:11I just can't jeopardize anything.
00:18:13Well, well, well, what do we have here?
00:18:27Excuse me?
00:18:28I'm a buddy.
00:18:29Bruno, my buddy.
00:18:31Hi, I'm Vanessa, Mr. Armstrong's new assistant.
00:18:35We have so much in common.
00:18:36I'm also new at Armstrong Enterprises.
00:18:38I'm here to dictate the merger.
00:18:40But why talk about work while at work when we can talk about play while we play?
00:18:45What?
00:18:46Happy hour.
00:18:47Teenies only.
00:18:49Teenies?
00:18:50Martinis.
00:18:51Teenies to bikinis.
00:18:53Oh.
00:18:55That's funny.
00:18:56Yeah.
00:18:57What'd you say we get out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini?
00:19:03Are all your pickup lines martini-based?
00:19:08Yeah.
00:19:09Uh.
00:19:12We need to talk.
00:19:15Ruby, I didn't see you on my schedule.
00:19:18Oh, okay.
00:19:18I'm pretty sure I don't need to be on your schedule because I'm your wife.
00:19:22Ex-wife.
00:19:24What do you need?
00:19:25What's the problem?
00:19:26I'm still unhappy with the divorce terms.
00:19:29How can you be unhappy?
00:19:30It's fair.
00:19:31I paid you more than half.
00:19:32I still want you.
00:19:36No baby voice, Ruby.
00:19:38Okay, we're through.
00:19:40Fine.
00:19:41Clearly you don't want me anymore.
00:19:43But I do know that you want me to sign before the merger.
00:19:45The merger has nothing to do with you.
00:19:48Hmm.
00:19:48What if I wanted to have something to do with me?
00:19:50You are entitled to none of that.
00:19:52We'll see about that.
00:19:55You need to get out of here before I call security.
00:19:57You wouldn't dare.
00:19:58You need to get off.
00:20:04Come on.
00:20:05Out the door.
00:20:05Out the door.
00:20:14Hey there.
00:20:15Hey, sorry.
00:20:16I'm wiped.
00:20:17I know that you overheard Ruby yelling at me.
00:20:22It's none of my business.
00:20:23It's over between her and I.
00:20:25She does not think so.
00:20:29So, would you like to have dinner with me?
00:20:32I'm not really hungry.
00:20:36You sure about that?
00:20:40I don't think it's a good idea.
00:20:43Look, I know that we've both been under a lot of stress.
00:20:45We can just keep it simple.
00:20:47Have some good food.
00:20:49Take our mind off things.
00:20:50No pressure.
00:20:51He's right.
00:20:52We're both under a lot of stress.
00:20:53But I can't put my stress on him.
00:20:56So, dinner?
00:20:57Keep it simple.
00:20:58Keep it simple.
00:20:59This is simple.
00:21:14You're worth it.
00:21:18I'm worried about the merger.
00:21:23You too.
00:21:24I'm not worried about you closing it.
00:21:26I'm worried about us.
00:21:28Look, it's almost a done deal.
00:21:30All eyes are on you.
00:21:32With this and your divorce,
00:21:35don't you worry that this will make the company think you're unfit?
00:21:37Unfit for what?
00:21:38The merger is just money.
00:21:40And I have money.
00:21:41But I don't have luck.
00:21:45And I want to be with you.
00:21:49I don't know.
00:21:52Why are you so hesitant?
00:21:54I don't know if I can tell him.
00:21:55What's going on?
00:22:00My mom is cancer.
00:22:04She has cancer.
00:22:06And I just need to focus on work right now because her bills are mounting up.
00:22:10You know I can take care of that for you.
00:22:12No, Sebastian.
00:22:13That's not why I'm telling you.
00:22:15I don't want your charity.
00:22:16My mom always taught me to earn everything I get.
00:22:18Well, she sounds like a strong woman.
00:22:25She's the strongest woman I know.
00:22:27I admire you.
00:22:28I don't need to be admired.
00:22:30I need to be understood.
00:22:33Understood.
00:22:34I think we should slow down a little.
00:22:39What are you talking about?
00:22:41Maybe just be friends.
00:22:44I don't think I could just be friends with you.
00:22:47I don't think I can be anything more.
00:22:48I see you.
00:23:03What?
00:23:05I see you.
00:23:06You're a rising star of this company.
00:23:08I am just trying to work here.
00:23:10I don't need any distractions.
00:23:12Let me guess.
00:23:13Your job's a joke.
00:23:14You're broke.
00:23:15Your love life's DOA.
00:23:16It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
00:23:20It hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
00:23:28No.
00:23:31Babe, come on.
00:23:35Release the attention.
00:23:41Maybe this is for the better.
00:23:43I have to get Sebastian to end this.
00:23:45This is the only way.
00:23:47Uh, yeah.
00:23:50That's the spot.
00:23:51That's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:24:03Oh.
00:24:04Sorry, Mr. Sebastian.
00:24:06Hey, Sebastian.
00:24:07Don't worry.
00:24:08We're off the clock.
00:24:09Yeah.
00:24:10This is hot.
00:24:16Don't ever touch me again.
00:24:23Playing hard again?
00:24:25I like that.
00:24:27Brew no likey.
00:24:31You big stud.
00:24:32You got this.
00:24:33She's yours.
00:24:34Two can play this game.
00:24:38I'll be there for you.
00:24:45Hey.
00:24:46I'm sorry about...
00:24:47There's nothing to be sorry about.
00:24:49We're both adults.
00:24:50You don't owe me anything.
00:24:52He was just being...
00:24:54I don't care about him.
00:24:57I just...
00:24:57I don't know.
00:24:58I thought that you were different.
00:24:59I...
00:25:00I have to let this happen.
00:25:02You know what?
00:25:03I think you're right.
00:25:04I think that we should just be friends.
00:25:08No.
00:25:08No.
00:25:08More like work colleagues.
00:25:14Because I had hoped that we were going to build something together.
00:25:18But my life, my business wasn't built off hope.
00:25:21It was built off hard work.
00:25:23Sebastian.
00:25:23No.
00:25:24And I was blinded by what I thought was such an amazing person.
00:25:29But the reality is you're just like everyone else.
00:25:34You're just after my money.
00:25:37Sebastian, I don't...
00:25:38How about we finish where we start?
00:25:47Get off.
00:25:47What about all that break room talk?
00:25:49I thought I told you never touch me again.
00:25:52Let's pretend I didn't hear that.
00:25:54Get off me, Bruno.
00:25:55I'm not interested.
00:25:57Don't be that interested.
00:26:05You'll regret this.
00:26:08Tell me everything.
00:26:15It was terrible what I did.
00:26:17But this merger was so important to Sebastian.
00:26:19I couldn't risk losing it for him.
00:26:21You were never going to lose it for him.
00:26:23I can't be a distraction to him.
00:26:25Maybe he needs a distraction.
00:26:28What did you do?
00:26:29I almost kissed Bruno.
00:26:32The aggressive guy?
00:26:35He only did it to make Sebastian forget about me so he could think about the merger.
00:26:38You're...
00:26:39I hope you know what you're doing.
00:26:45I wish we had met in college.
00:26:49Things would be so different.
00:26:55Kate, I don't know how to fix this.
00:26:57Girl, you can't fix being in love.
00:27:00What do you think Sebastian's doing right now?
00:27:11What is wrong with you?
00:27:13I mean, you have everything.
00:27:15And even after this merger, you'll have even more.
00:27:18You can have any woman you desire.
00:27:20Boy, don't ask, I am humble.
00:27:30You'd give it all up and be with her, wouldn't you?
00:27:35Well, if you love her, then you should just go to her.
00:27:42What do you have to drink in this dump?
00:27:44Ruby.
00:27:45What are you doing here?
00:27:46Come in.
00:27:47I'm sorry.
00:27:48I was a cranky bitch earlier.
00:27:49What are you doing here?
00:27:51Well, things got a little heated earlier.
00:27:54And I thought I should come make amends.
00:27:58Is it me?
00:28:01Is it hot in here?
00:28:19Let me take you to the bedroom.
00:28:32Let me take you to the bedroom.
00:28:44No, no, no, hey, I'm sorry.
00:28:52I, I can't do this.
00:28:56Look, we had something in the past, Ruby.
00:28:58Here, let's put this on.
00:29:03Is this about that bitch?
00:29:06Don't call her that.
00:29:08You'll regret this, Sebastian Armstrong.
00:29:10Hey, hey, hey, get off of me.
00:29:24Hey, hey, hey, hey, are you okay?
00:29:24What is that?
00:29:38You must have dropped it.
00:29:43Oh, my God, somebody's been spying on us.
00:29:57Thanks for the statement, ma'am.
00:29:58We'll keep an eye out for the perp.
00:30:00In the meantime, try to get some rest.
00:30:03Good night.
00:30:10Yeah, of course.
00:30:13How did you know where I lived?
00:30:16I looked your address up at work.
00:30:19I was coming over to apologize.
00:30:21About what?
00:30:23Look, I was a jerk earlier, and I overreacted.
00:30:27It's okay.
00:30:28Vanessa.
00:30:28People in my position have a very hard time with dating.
00:30:34Everyone only seems to want one thing from me,
00:30:37and that's why I have to be protective.
00:30:39I've been blinded by love before.
00:30:41Ruby?
00:30:43That obvious, huh?
00:30:44She's, um...
00:30:45Bitch?
00:30:47Yeah.
00:30:48And she also could put this hold on people.
00:30:51And I didn't realize it till much later that she's just a gold digger.
00:30:56And she never loved me.
00:30:57She only loved my bank account.
00:30:59And that's why I tend to be defensive.
00:31:03Sebastian, maybe it's just not the right time for us.
00:31:07You have this merger.
00:31:08I don't want you to lose sight of it.
00:31:13And you have your mother.
00:31:15How's she doing?
00:31:17She has her last treatment coming up, so...
00:31:20We're hopeful.
00:31:21Yeah.
00:31:23She knows that I put off my career goals to take care of her.
00:31:27And she carries that guilt.
00:31:31The other day, she said that sometimes she wished she had died.
00:31:37So I could live.
00:31:40She's a strong woman, just like you.
00:31:42Look, I appreciate your generosity.
00:31:45But as of now, all I'm asking is that we remain boss and secretary.
00:31:54Deal?
00:31:57Deal.
00:31:58Under one condition.
00:32:02What is it?
00:32:05You replace this.
00:32:09Sure.
00:32:10You still have my black Amex card?
00:32:12I never used it.
00:32:14Okay.
00:32:14Well, you need to go down to La Tour Boutique and get yourself another cocktail dress.
00:32:19I'm not going to do that.
00:32:20Well, you need to, because I need you to attend a dinner with me.
00:32:28No dates.
00:32:29No, no, it's not a date.
00:32:30Personal assistant.
00:32:31Strictly business.
00:32:33You feed me the names of people that I should know.
00:32:36It's boring, but the food is good.
00:32:39So what do you say?
00:32:41Deal?
00:32:42That's my one condition.
00:32:43You really are a good negotiator.
00:32:45You should probably go.
00:32:55Okay.
00:33:04Can I help you?
00:33:05Yes, yes.
00:33:07I am looking for a dress.
00:33:08Looks like you need a whole new wardrobe.
00:33:10Oh, probably.
00:33:12Sorry, we don't have anything in the hobo casual collection.
00:33:17Oh, I know, I know.
00:33:18I don't usually shop at places like this.
00:33:21But I actually walk by here all the time and stare at that dress in the window.
00:33:26Not to cut you off.
00:33:27I'm pretty busy here.
00:33:28And we only serve to high-end clients.
00:33:33Okay.
00:33:36Maybe I'm in the wrong store.
00:33:38Maybe you are.
00:33:40I should probably go.
00:33:41You should.
00:33:42No, wait just a minute.
00:33:46What is going on here?
00:33:47I don't belong here.
00:33:48Of course you do.
00:33:49Mr. Sebastian Armstrong, welcome.
00:33:51You weren't very welcoming to my friend here.
00:33:53I didn't know she was...
00:33:54That shouldn't matter.
00:33:55You don't have to do this.
00:33:57Yes, I do.
00:33:58You should treat everyone who walks through that door with respect.
00:34:01I'm so sorry, Mr. Armstrong.
00:34:04I'm really sorry.
00:34:05My boyfriend just dumped me and I'm in a terrible mood.
00:34:09It's okay.
00:34:09I actually have those same sneakers that you're wearing.
00:34:12I love them.
00:34:13Also that dress in the window, I love it too.
00:34:16But I'm jealous because I know it'll look way better on you.
00:34:19Plus I have at least food.
00:34:20I'm oversharing.
00:34:22Just wrap up the dress.
00:34:23We have a big event to attend to tonight.
00:34:26Sorry, I know that this is a lot.
00:34:46I don't want to let you down.
00:34:49You won't.
00:34:50Just stick with me.
00:34:51I have some cocktail hour negotiating.
00:34:52Oh, God.
00:34:59I didn't realize they let trash in here.
00:35:01Ruby, this isn't the time or the place.
00:35:03Sebastian, you haven't answered any of my phone calls.
00:35:05Our divorce terms are unacceptable.
00:35:07I'm sorry, Ms. Cromwell, that Sebastian is about to give you a speech.
00:35:10I'm sorry.
00:35:11Who the fuck are you?
00:35:13This is a conversation between my husband and I.
00:35:16You mean your ex-husband.
00:35:18Oh, no.
00:35:27I'm so sorry.
00:35:28I'm such a klutz.
00:35:34And now, ladies and gentlemen, may we present Mr. Sebastian Armstrong.
00:35:40I think it's about time we got legal involved to talk about these terms and details.
00:35:48Before it goes to legal, should I have my guys look at it?
00:35:51Your guys.
00:35:53Just keep taking notes.
00:35:55You're new here, so maybe you can learn a thing or two about negotiating.
00:35:58Pretty sure I could teach you a thing or two.
00:36:00Thank you, Vanessa.
00:36:08Let me know if you need anything else.
00:36:11I need some of that.
00:36:13Damn, she's hot.
00:36:15Nothing wrong with dipping the pen in the company ink.
00:36:18Am I right, boys?
00:36:20I didn't know that you two were an item.
00:36:22There's a lot you don't know about me, Seb.
00:36:25It's Mr. Armstrong.
00:36:26Oh, so formal.
00:36:29This company needed a little joke like me.
00:36:32Guys, this isn't a pissing contest.
00:36:34Yeah, I know.
00:36:36Because I already got the prize.
00:36:39So, you are dating.
00:36:41I mean, if you call getting freaky in a two-star hotel dating.
00:36:44Come on, keep it classy.
00:36:47You won't be doing anything classy tonight.
00:36:50Respect the workplace.
00:36:52And you chill.
00:36:53You ain't got money like us.
00:36:56Cheap sluts like Vanessa are a dime a dozen.
00:37:00Oh!
00:37:02Stop.
00:37:03Stop.
00:37:05You're done.
00:37:06Get out of here.
00:37:07Pack your shit up.
00:37:08We don't do sexual harassment at this company.
00:37:11Okay, big boss man.
00:37:13I'll leave.
00:37:14But you're gonna regret this.
00:37:16You have no idea who I am and what I'm capable of.
00:37:19Just leave, son.
00:37:21It's over.
00:37:21Don't worry, Sebastian.
00:37:27I got your back.
00:37:28Back in my day, guys like him would have gotten it much worse.
00:37:33This won't affect our negotiations at all.
00:37:35It's good to be rid of the bad energy in the room.
00:37:43Oh, my God.
00:37:44Vanessa, what's wrong?
00:37:53Someone vandalized my car.
00:37:54What?
00:37:55Are you okay?
00:38:02Stop.
00:38:03There.
00:38:03I can't see their faces.
00:38:10They're wearing masks.
00:38:12The timestamp says it's from this afternoon, so it can't be...
00:38:15Bruno.
00:38:18He was in my office at that time.
00:38:21I'll send this to the authorities.
00:38:23I'm scared.
00:38:24I'll protect you.
00:38:30Oh, there's my sweet daughter.
00:38:36Hi, dog.
00:38:37How's my mom doing?
00:38:39Hi, Vanessa.
00:38:40Your mother is doing exceptionally well.
00:38:42We couldn't be happier with her results.
00:38:45And as you know, the entire staff loves her.
00:38:48Just trying to make the best of it.
00:38:50Hopefully, this will be her last treatment and send her cancer into remission.
00:38:54The only sad thing is, Miss Porter won't be brightening up our oncology ward anymore.
00:38:58Stop.
00:39:01I'll leave you, too.
00:39:05How are you, honey?
00:39:06I'm good.
00:39:07Work's really busy.
00:39:09Well, you always manage to keep a handle on everything.
00:39:12I just can't wait to get out of here.
00:39:14Food sucks.
00:39:15Are you okay?
00:39:17You seem a bit distracted.
00:39:20I have to tell you something, Mom.
00:39:21I don't want you to worry.
00:39:23Well, I'm going to worry whether you tell me or not.
00:39:26I think I have a stalker.
00:39:28What?
00:39:29Someone vandalized my car.
00:39:30They wrote a bad word.
00:39:33A magic marker.
00:39:34Well, maybe some vinegar or something will help get me out.
00:39:37I know, Mom.
00:39:38I think it was somehow connected to this guy at work.
00:39:41This guy at work, Bruno Lombardi.
00:39:42He has been all over me and is starting to word me out.
00:39:46You said Bruno Lombardi?
00:39:48John Lombardi's son?
00:39:53John Lombardi runs a crime family.
00:39:56Yes, and Bruno is quote-unquote heir to that throne.
00:40:02A crime family?
00:40:04Yeah.
00:40:04Your uncle had some run-in with them years ago.
00:40:07They're thugs.
00:40:08And if Bruno is anything like his father,
00:40:10you want to be swiping left, like the kids say.
00:40:13I think he got fired today.
00:40:15What if he blames me for everything?
00:40:16Kids today, they always want to blame somebody else for their issues.
00:40:20They can't take responsibility.
00:40:22They're not my baby girl.
00:40:26The Lombardi crime family accused of racketeering drugs.
00:40:30Human trafficking?
00:40:32Apparently, he's still running the crime family from prison.
00:40:36And he's grooming Bruno to take over.
00:40:39They've got some troubles going on.
00:40:41So, honey, please be careful.
00:40:43I have to warn Sebastian.
00:40:45I have to go, Mom.
00:40:46I love you.
00:41:06You need a replacement for the Hormobile.
00:41:09You know I can accept this.
00:41:11You have to.
00:41:13I really can't.
00:41:14Then why not?
00:41:16Sebastian.
00:41:16I'm worried.
00:41:20I found out that Bruno has ties to the mafia.
00:41:24No, our HR fully vetted him.
00:41:26I'm sure there's ways of skirting that.
00:41:28Word is he's being groomed to become head of the crime family.
00:41:32Then why would he want a job here?
00:41:33I don't know.
00:41:34He could be dangerous.
00:41:36Look, you don't need to worry about that anymore.
00:41:38Because I fired him.
00:41:40That's why I'm worried.
00:41:42Look, I have the best security that money can buy.
00:41:45We don't need to be intimidated by people like Bruno.
00:41:50And we need to focus on the good that we can do.
00:41:53And speaking of, I have a charity event that I'd like you to help me out with tonight.
00:41:59Charity?
00:41:59Yes, for cancer research.
00:42:00I would love to.
00:42:03Hmm?
00:42:03But I don't know.
00:42:05Look, somebody just dropped out last minute.
00:42:07You'd be doing me a big, big favor.
00:42:09It's at the Biltmore Ballroom, 6 p.m. tonight.
00:42:11One condition.
00:42:17Okay.
00:42:18What?
00:42:21You take the car back.
00:42:25Fine.
00:42:28See you this night.
00:42:33Damn.
00:42:34He's a good negotiator.
00:42:35You must be the new model.
00:42:50You're on stage in five.
00:42:52On stage?
00:42:53What is this?
00:42:54This is a charity auction.
00:42:56People are going to bid on you for dates.
00:42:58No, no, no, no.
00:42:59I can't do this.
00:43:00Are you kidding?
00:43:01This is going to be fun.
00:43:02And it's for a good cause, girl.
00:43:04You wouldn't mind a man bidding on me for a change.
00:43:07Yeah.
00:43:10Going once, going twice.
00:43:12And she is sold to that gentleman over there for $500,000 for a special date.
00:43:19And this is a new charity record for us.
00:43:21Thank you for your generosity, sir.
00:43:25Oh.
00:43:28What'd you looky here?
00:43:29I guess they let anyone into these charity events, don't they?
00:43:33Next on stage, please welcome Vanessa Porter.

00:45:09Great.
00:45:09We have $600,000 over there.
00:45:12$700,000.
00:45:14We got seven over here.
00:45:16$800,000.
00:45:17$800,000.
00:45:19$1,000,000.
00:45:21$1,000,000.
00:45:25$1,000,000.
00:45:27Sir, wow.
00:45:29What an amazing finale.
00:45:31Any other bids?
00:45:32Going once.
00:45:34Going twice.
00:45:37And sold to that gentleman over there for $1,000,000.
00:45:41What an amazing finale.
00:45:43Beating the previous record of...
00:45:46What's her name?
00:45:47Um, anyway, sir, please come up and claim your prize.
00:45:52This is going to be fun.
00:45:58You cannot go out on that date.
00:45:59It could be dangerous.
00:46:01I don't have a choice.
00:46:03You always have a choice.
00:46:05It's in the next room.
00:46:06It's in a controlled space.
00:46:08Why are you doing this?
00:46:09Because he wants me to back out.
00:46:11He wants to make you look bad.
00:46:14I'm doing this for the charity.
00:46:16It's just dinner in public.
00:46:17It'll be fine.
00:46:20Okay.
00:46:21I trust you.
00:46:23I also want to see what Bruno's up to.
00:46:27What's his game plan?
00:46:29You know, for a winning bet of $1,000,000, you'd think they'd serve at a hooch.
00:46:36I'd rather be home, drinking my wine from a box.
00:46:41We have so much in common.
00:46:44I'd rather be at your home, too.
00:46:46What do you want from me?
00:46:48What are you talking about, baby?
00:46:50I just want to get to know you.
00:46:53Oh, I have been very clear.
00:46:56I am not interested.
00:46:57Don't you know who I am?
00:47:01Oh, I know who you think you are.
00:47:05I paid a lot of money for this thing.
00:47:07I'm in a casino.
00:47:08I can make things very difficult for you and your little boyfriend.
00:47:16You know?
00:47:18This wine ain't that bad.
00:47:20Where are you going?
00:47:27The date ain't over yet, sweetheart.
00:47:30Can a girl use the restroom?
00:47:43Stop playing games, babe.
00:47:45We know what that one million bought me.
00:47:46I'm good, everybody.
00:47:53I'm good.
00:47:58Oh.
00:48:08Knock, knock.
00:48:09Hey, how was the date?
00:48:13And, um, who was this from?
00:48:14Uh, from Bruno, with all my love.
00:48:17Thanks for the magical night.
00:48:18Well, I guess that answers that.
00:48:20No, Sebastian, that's...
00:48:21It wasn't...
00:48:22No, no, it's fine.
00:48:23I have some work I need to be doing now.
00:48:35I'm just throwing this out there,
00:48:37but I think I'm entitled to more like 65%.
00:48:41Yeah, yeah, that sounds fine.
00:48:43Fine, Sebastian, that's robbery.
00:48:46Your head isn't in the game.
00:48:48We need to wrap this up so we can send it before Congress
00:48:52and push this merger through soon.
00:48:54A good negotiation is where both parties walk away equally unhappy.
00:48:59And right now, Sebastian, I'm very happy.
00:49:03That's it, Sebastian.
00:49:09I'm done.
00:49:11It's over.
00:49:14Wait, what do you mean that it's over?
00:49:15We need a break.
00:49:17Listen, why don't we take a long weekend?
00:49:19You can go home and refocus on this merger,
00:49:23and I can spend some time with my grandkids.
00:49:25We've spent every day at this damn office.
00:49:27We can come back on Tuesday and wrap this thing up.
00:49:33Okay.
00:49:34Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
00:49:36Let me...
00:49:37Everyone, listen up.
00:49:40Everyone can have off for the week with pay.
00:49:42So, do you have any plans for the weekend?
00:49:53How would I?
00:49:54I just found out I have the week off.
00:49:56Hmm, well, I'd like to take you to dinner.
00:49:57Sebastian, I...
00:49:58I can't, but thank you.
00:50:03My mom's still in the hospital, so I have to go visit her.
00:50:05Well, maybe she'd like a box of chocolates.
00:50:08Yeah, maybe she would.
00:50:09Okay.
00:50:12Can I come in?
00:50:17She's fine.
00:50:19I'd love to have a drink, but I can't.
00:50:21Well, no one offered you one.
00:50:23I can't because I'm pregnant.
00:50:27You're pregnant.
00:50:28I don't know how to tell you this, Sebastian,
00:50:31but you're the father.
00:50:34That's impossible.
00:50:35We broke up three months ago.
00:50:36Can't you tell?
00:50:41I'm three months pregnant.
00:50:44No, no, no.
00:50:44I can't be the father.
00:50:46Okay.
00:50:46Well, I have a paternity test and ultrasound.
00:50:48Let's see different.
00:50:48Right there.
00:50:52Well, if this is true, then I'm not the type of man that runs from his responsibilities.
00:51:11That's what I love about you.
00:51:14You're so responsible.
00:51:18You need to go.
00:51:19I need time to think, Ruby.
00:51:21Leave that there for you.
00:51:22I don't know how I'm going to tell Vanessa,
00:51:35but I have to be honest with her.
00:51:36I think we got them.
00:51:40I hope so.
00:51:42You riding whore on her car did nothing,
00:51:45and me leaving those photos that I took when I broke into her house also didn't work.
00:51:48Okay, well, I'm still out two grand for a fake paternity test.
00:51:51I really thought Sebastian hitting me would ruin this merger.
00:51:55Okay, I still want the merger to happen, moron.
00:51:57I just want the divorce to happen after so that I get half.
00:52:01And if that doesn't work, we'll move on to plan C
00:52:03and eliminate Sebastian altogether.
00:52:06I know exactly where he hangs out when he needs time alone.
00:52:10He'll pay for humiliating a little body.
00:52:37That is beautiful and delicious.
00:52:49Who's it from?
00:52:51I hope it's not from Bruno.
00:52:53Oh, my God.
00:52:54If you change your mind, I'm here for you.
00:53:01With all my love, Sebastian.
00:53:10It's a plane ticket to Italy.
00:53:15You must go.
00:53:17I'm not leaving you, Mom.
00:53:25Two tickets.
00:53:29Mom, how are you feeling?
00:53:32I'm feeling like I need to see the Italian countryside
00:53:35and eat some authentic Italian.
00:53:38Looks like we're going to Italy.
00:53:40Yes.
00:53:40Yes.
00:53:40Yes.
00:53:40Yes.
00:53:47Welcome.
00:53:55Hi.
00:53:59Nice to finally meet you.
00:54:00Oh, lovely to meet you, too.
00:54:02Yeah, come on in.
00:54:04So, Miss Porter, how are you doing?
00:54:09Wonderful.
00:54:10Just wonderful.
00:54:11Thank you so much for bringing my daughter and I out here
00:54:14and that private jet experience, that is the way to travel.
00:54:20And the food was delicious.
00:54:22What's mine is yours, so feel free to make yourself at home.
00:54:31Mom, where are you going?
00:54:32Are you feeling okay?
00:54:33I'm fine.
00:54:34Absolutely awesome.
00:54:35I have never felt better.
00:54:38Yeah.
00:54:39So, I'm just off now to find myself an Italian man.
00:54:42Mom.
00:54:42Oh, you are in the right place, then.
00:54:45Oh, do not encourage her.
00:54:49I'm going to leave you guys alone.
00:54:50Enjoy.
00:54:53Well, cheers to that.
00:54:55Cheers to that.
00:55:00I need to come clean.
00:55:03Bruno and I...
00:55:04Look, I don't care, but...
00:55:05No, listen.
00:55:06We were never a thing.
00:55:07You and Bruno never had an affair.
00:55:09No, I faked the whole thing.
00:55:10Why?
00:55:13I didn't know how to break it off with you.
00:55:17I was afraid I was a distraction.
00:55:19So I lied.
00:55:21And it blew up in my face.
00:55:25Vanessa, I need you to understand something very clearly.
00:55:28I'm not distracted by us together.
00:55:30I'm distracted by us at work.
00:55:45And I also want to be honest with you about something.
00:55:49Ruby told me that she is pregnant and it's mine.
00:55:53What?
00:55:53How?
00:55:54Look, I don't believe her, but I still do need to play this thing right.
00:55:57And I hope that you can trust me on this.
00:56:02Okay.
00:56:04I trust you.
00:56:08I love you.
00:56:13I love you, too.
00:56:14I love you, too.
00:56:14I love you, too.
00:56:44I love you, too.
00:56:54I love you, too.
00:56:59I love you, too.
00:57:01It's my
00:57:12Okay.
00:57:14Mom?
00:57:17Mom?
00:57:32Hello? Who is this?
00:57:34I am your mother. She will stay safe if you follow my everywhere.
00:57:37I'll test instructions to this phone.
00:57:39If you alert the authorities, your mother will be killed.
00:57:44I'm coming for you, Mom.
00:57:49This is the address?
00:57:51Vanessa.
00:57:53Glad you made it.
00:57:55Looks like you brought your little boyfriend.
00:58:05Yes, good in boss.
00:58:07So is she.
00:58:09Let's go inside.
00:58:14Look at you two.
00:58:15Wow.
00:58:16The perfect couple.
00:58:17What do you want, Bruno?
00:58:19I'll do the questioning.
00:58:21That's what people with guns get to do.
00:58:24We could have been a great team, but you had to blow it all for some trim.
00:58:28Just tell me why that-
00:58:30Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:58:32I always hated guys like you, Sebastian. Bootstrap guys.
00:58:36That's why I'm going to love bleeding you dry for everything you worked for.
00:58:41I want your entire fortune.
00:58:42You son of a bitch.
00:58:43Calm down, Sebastian.
00:58:44You don't want to end up under the sea.
00:58:45Fine.
00:58:46For Teresa.
00:58:47We just need to know that she's alive.
00:58:52Mom!
00:58:53Mom!
00:58:54It's okay.
00:58:55Mom!
00:58:56It's okay.
00:58:57Mom, it's okay, it's okay.
00:58:58Boo, boo.
00:58:59There's your proof of life.
00:59:00Transfer the money to this address using this phone.
00:59:01You're okay.
00:59:02I don't know.
00:59:03I'm fine.
00:59:04I'll do this.
00:59:05Fine.
00:59:06Fine.
00:59:07For Teresa.
00:59:08We just need to know that she's alive.
00:59:09For Teresa.
00:59:10We just need to know that she's alive.
00:59:11Mom!
00:59:12It's okay.
00:59:13Mom!
00:59:18It's okay.
00:59:19It's okay.
00:59:21Boo.
00:59:22There's your proof of life.
00:59:23Transfer the money to this address using this phone.
00:59:25Come on.
00:59:33I'm so sorry that this is happening.
00:59:35This is all my fault.
00:59:41It's going to wipe you out.
00:59:44It doesn't matter.
00:59:46As long as you and your mother are safe.
00:59:50I can always make my money back, but I need you on my side.
00:59:55Thanks for the money.
01:00:03But you didn't really think I'll let your mom go, did you?
01:00:16Oh, my God.
01:00:19Ruby, you killed him.
01:00:22Oh, oopsies.
01:00:23I'm such a klutz.
01:00:26Guess I won't be sharing that money after all.
01:00:30What, honey?
01:00:32You play chess.
01:00:33You know the pawns always die.
01:00:36Hands up!
01:00:40Why are you doing this?
01:00:42I gave you everything.
01:00:43Why?
01:00:44Because you left me.
01:00:47Nobody leaves me.
01:00:48I get everything I've always wanted.
01:00:51You know exactly why.
01:00:55When I met you, you were nothing.
01:00:59The only reason you married me was for my family name.
01:01:01For my clout.
01:01:02You used me to climb the social ladder.
01:01:06Then once you got to the top, you dropped me.
01:01:09And what you think this whore can replace me?
01:01:12You're wrong.
01:01:13I married you for what I thought was out of love.
01:01:16But then I quickly realized that all you ever cared about was material shit.
01:01:21And I tried to prove to you that we can't have it all.
01:01:24We could.
01:01:26Spare me, Mr. Perfect, please.
01:01:28I really can't.
01:01:32Hmm.
01:01:37No, no.
01:01:42Oopsies.
01:01:43Sorry, my little mouse.
01:01:45It won't happen again.
01:01:46Ruby, you can fix all of this.
01:01:48All you need to do is let Teresa go.
01:01:53Fix this.
01:01:54Yes.
01:01:55This is beyond repair, my dear husband.
01:01:59Revenge, retribution, whatever you want to call it.
01:02:01I finally have the power.
01:02:06Fuck, you bitch!
01:02:09Most dads give their girls jewelry.
01:02:11But not my dad.
01:02:13I used to think guns were scary.
01:02:15But in the right hand, they're quite beautiful.
01:02:19We could have been great, Sebastian.
01:02:21But you had to go ahead and ruin it all.
01:02:23Shut the fuck up, Ruby!
01:02:27I'm going to kill you both.
01:02:29And when the police get here, they'll find me laying on the ground,
01:02:32covered in blood, screaming,
01:02:34Help me!
01:02:36Help me!
01:02:37And I'll blame it on that, mafia moron.
01:02:44Drop it!
01:02:45You're okay?
01:03:12Yeah, I'm okay, honey.
01:03:14I knew you'd come and get me.
01:03:16But next time, can we go to Paris, please?
01:03:20Okay.
01:03:22Miss Porter, I'm Detective Colombo.
01:03:25We've been monitoring the Lombardi crime family for several months now.
01:03:28And we have all the information we need to indict Ruby and Bruno on an extortion plot.
01:03:33But how?
01:03:35We had somebody on the inside.
01:03:36You're a cop?
01:03:43Yep.
01:03:44Department of Justice undercover.
01:03:45The merger made us look into a possible crime link with Armstrong Enterprises.
01:03:49Turns out, Sebastian is legit.
01:03:51He just hired the wrong people.
01:03:52Luckily, Interpol connected me to the Talentees at just the right time.
01:03:55I would have never guessed.
01:03:58Guess those late-night wine sessions were just research, huh?
01:04:01Getting into your friend was just one of the benefits.
01:04:04Oh, one more thing.
01:04:06Mr. Armstrong, your money's secure.
01:04:09We made sure the transfer didn't go through.
01:04:13And in business news, the Congress has approved the Bastion Enterprise merger.
01:04:23CEO Sebastian Armstrong is now the richest man in the world.
01:04:26This merger is an unprecedented green deal.
01:04:28They have agreed to convert 70% of their carbon producing plants into renewable energy power plants.
01:04:36Cheers to Teresa being cancer-free for six months.
01:04:41Cheers.
01:04:41And cheers to Vanessa.
01:04:49For her hopefully making me the happiest man on earth.
01:04:53Oh, my God.
01:04:58Will you marry me?
01:05:04Yes.
01:05:05Yes.
01:05:05I promise to love you forever.
01:05:16I promise to love you forever.
01:05:18I promise to love you forever.
01:05:18I promise to love you forever.
01:05:30I'm sorry.
01:05:35I'm sorry.
01:05:35I promise to love you forever.
01:05:39I promise to love you forever.
