00:00:00.
00:00:30Hey, this is Richard Allenton. I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message.
00:00:48Hey, Grandpa.
00:00:52It's one thing to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody-two-shoe women.
00:00:56But to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind date, that's low.
00:01:07Let's hope this one's different.
00:01:10I don't even know what to say to this guy.
00:01:13We don't know how to talk to rich people.
00:01:16Be sexy.
00:01:17Darling, just act better than everyone else in the room.
00:01:21And being sexy is easy.
00:01:24Bite your lip, push up the girls.
00:01:26It works every time.
00:01:28Wait, but what girls?
00:01:29And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily.
00:01:33So challenge them, be bold, and put them on the spot.
00:01:37I don't think I can do this.
00:01:39The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your mother's surgery.
00:01:45It's your call.
00:01:46The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your life, the sooner I pay you for your life, the sooner I pay you for your life, the sooner I pay you for your life, the sooner I pay you for your life, the sooner I pay you for your life, the sooner I pay you for your life, the sooner I pay you for your life, the sooner I pay you for your life, the sooner I pay you for your life, the sooner I pay you for your life, the sooner I pay you for your life, the sooner I pay you for your life.
00:02:01Are you going to stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:02:19Of course.
00:02:20Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.
00:02:34You're so...
00:02:35Rich? Sexy?
00:02:38Frankly, yes.
00:02:41Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:45Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:47And you are?
00:02:48Lane Ellington.
00:02:48I'm CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:52And this is a successful company?
00:02:55It's not ringing any bells.
00:02:58Waiter?
00:03:00Yes, Mr. Ellington.
00:03:01You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:03:05Yes, of course.
00:03:06If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:03:09It's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:03:12You want two?
00:03:14Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.
00:03:17Better bring three.
00:03:18Yeah, right, yes, of course, right away, sir.
00:03:26And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:03:29I invest.
00:03:31In what?
00:03:33In everything.
00:03:35What am I not investing in?
00:03:39Businesses?
00:03:41Charities?
00:03:43I see.
00:03:44And you live in the city?
00:03:47The city.
00:03:49The hills.
00:03:51My yacht.
00:03:54My private island.
00:03:56I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:58You're so impressive.
00:04:01So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:04:04Hmm.
00:04:05Doesn't surprise me.
00:04:06I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:04:12Um.
00:04:13You've got a little, uh...
00:04:26Kurt?
00:04:27Kurt?
00:04:28What's my manager doing here?
00:04:31Blaine!
00:04:34My business center just ended.
00:04:36The presentation for the China branch?
00:04:37Looking good.
00:04:38Amazing.
00:04:39You're the best, Kurt.
00:04:40Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two.
00:04:42I just wanted to say hi.
00:04:44Rose petals for my business dinner?
00:04:46Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:47Ah, classic.
00:04:48All right, well, you two have fun.
00:04:57I've got to be honest with you.
00:05:01You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.
00:05:05Would you like to come to my place?
00:05:07I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:05:10Absolutely, darling.
00:05:18Whoa.
00:05:18Welcome to my home.
00:05:23After you.
00:05:38Oh, my.
00:05:39You like what you say?
00:05:53You're getting there, darling.
00:05:55Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:58Well, then.
00:06:00Shall we get started?
00:06:04Uh, not so fast.
00:06:06Okay.
00:06:08A little foreplay?
00:06:09I did not think this to her at all.
00:06:12How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:06:15Looking for something?
00:06:21Oh, um...
00:06:23Ah.
00:06:26I should have known that was your style.
00:06:28Oh, yes, darling.
00:06:31I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:06:35I'm not used to being the one tied up.
00:06:37It's usually the other way around.
00:06:39Valentina?
00:06:44Patience, darling.
00:06:47I'm...
00:06:47building the suspense.
00:06:50Ah, I see.
00:06:52Where could it be?
00:06:54Right.
00:06:54And...
00:06:55you say guys actually like this?
00:06:58Oh, yes. It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:07:05How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:07:12That's new.
00:07:16The painting. Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:07:19Oh, uh, sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:07:23It looks exactly like the one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:07:29It's where I keep my safe.
00:07:31People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:07:35Thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:38Oh, no, it's quite popular.
00:07:41Where do you hide your luxurious safekeepings?
00:07:45In a super, super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:49Oh, come on.
00:07:50Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?
00:07:57Oh, uh, most unfortunate.
00:07:59I'm getting the utmost important business call, and I must take it.
00:08:04Right now?
00:08:05What?
00:08:06What about me?
00:08:08Valentina!
00:08:11Wait!
00:08:14Untie me!
00:08:14Ew.
00:08:21Really, Blaine?
00:08:22What?
00:08:23But you and your models.
00:08:26Last night was not a model.
00:08:29I was actually impressed.
00:08:31Did I hear it right?
00:08:34Blaine actually had a date he liked.
00:08:36It was fantastic.
00:08:38The other girls are so boring.
00:08:41But this one, she's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:08:45I must see her again.
00:08:46Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:50It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.
00:08:57Grandfather.
00:08:58Mm-hmm?
00:08:59Listen to him.
00:09:00He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:09:02I am much more qualified.
00:09:03You know, I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:09:08No, no, no, no.
00:09:11Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:09:13Right?
00:09:14Yeah, you were meant to be some CEO.
00:09:17No, but Blaine, when learning time?
00:09:21Whatever.
00:09:23Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:09:26I have actual work to attend to.
00:09:28Yeah, yeah, thanks.
00:09:40Hello?
00:09:41How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:45To perfection.
00:09:48Charity has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:50Won't be long until he slips up.
00:09:52And I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:55Brilliant.
00:09:58It's all coming together perfectly.
00:10:00And the VR tech you're developing.
00:10:02It'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?
00:10:05Oh, yes.
00:10:06It'll be ready.
00:10:07Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:10:22What's he doing here?
00:10:23Speaking of girls, I think I know who'd be perfect as your new assistant.
00:10:29Sorry.
00:10:30I'm fine.
00:10:32Ariel.
00:10:34How does he know my name?
00:10:36You dropped your badge.
00:10:44There you go.
00:10:45Thanks.
00:10:46Thanks.
00:10:46Are you playing hide-and-seek?
00:10:58Is that where you're late?
00:10:59Can I hide next?
00:11:00No, I was dropping their mom off at the hospital.
00:11:03Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:11:05Wait, oh my God, is she okay?
00:11:07Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:11:08She's just getting some tests done.
00:11:10Oh, thank goodness.
00:11:11Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:11:14Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:11:17Are you going to apply?
00:11:18I'm good where I am.
00:11:19But all the girls are applying.
00:11:20Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:11:22You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:11:24I think this position is yours.
00:11:25He's gorgeous.
00:11:37I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:11:42Attention, everyone.
00:11:43My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:11:47I will try my best to live up to my father,
00:11:51but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:11:54And since he is adjusting to this new role,
00:11:57I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:12:01Not me, not me, not me.
00:12:03Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:12:11All right, everyone, back to work.
00:12:13You look exactly like...
00:12:23Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:12:29Kurt described.
00:12:31Clean, organized desk, confident composure.
00:12:36There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:12:37This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:12:42When do I start?
00:12:44Perfect.
00:12:44Uh, first thing I need help with is there's this file.
00:12:48Oh, uh, gotta take a phone call.
00:12:50Send it to me in an email.
00:12:55Ariel, he wants to meet you again.
00:12:58Really?
00:12:59Also, I got you a second number.
00:13:02Just click the link to connect it,
00:13:03so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:13:05Great.
00:13:13New number, huh?
00:13:18Hello?
00:13:19Hello, Ariel.
00:13:20This is Dr. Westphal.
00:13:21We just got your mother's results.
00:13:27It's not what we hoped.
00:13:29So we need to move quickly
00:13:30if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:13:33Okay, I understand.
00:13:36I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:13:49Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:51I just finished dinner.
00:13:53Mom, you should be in bed.
00:13:55Honey, I'm fine.
00:13:57Besides, you've been working all day.
00:13:58You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:14:00Mom, please.
00:14:01Honey, sit down.
00:14:11The doctor called?
00:14:14He says it's gotten worse.
00:14:16Hush.
00:14:17Hush.
00:14:18None of that talk, okay?
00:14:20Mom, eat before your food gets cold.
00:14:23I'll be right back.
00:14:39It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:41Are you ready?
00:14:44Yeah.
00:14:47Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:48I'll make it to go.
00:15:07Well, where am I?
00:15:13Valentina.
00:15:14Blaine.
00:15:14Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:15:19Do you intend to have me killed?
00:15:21No, not at all.
00:15:22This place is special.
00:15:24Follow me.
00:15:37Honey, Mora.
00:15:39Almost there.
00:15:40Come on.
00:15:40Come on.
00:15:40Come on.
00:15:40Come on.
00:15:40Come on.
00:15:41Come on.
00:15:41Come on.
00:15:42Come on.
00:15:42Come on.
00:15:42Come on.
00:15:43Come on.
00:15:43Come on.
00:15:43Come on.
00:15:44Come on.
00:15:56Wow.
00:16:06Would you look at that view?
00:16:09I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:16:11Just you, actually.
00:16:12I discovered this place after my father died.
00:16:18In your family, darling?
00:16:20Yeah.
00:16:21I've been thrown into the CEO position, and I'm a bit in over my head, so I never really
00:16:28get a chance to myself, except when I come here.
00:16:31I'm so sorry.
00:16:32I'm so sorry.
00:16:35I'm so sorry.
00:16:41My mom is sick.
00:16:46She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:48I'm so sorry.
00:16:49I'm so sorry.
00:16:51I'm so sorry about your mom.
00:16:53You want to get away?
00:16:56Yeah.
00:16:59I'm used to getting everything, but this is one thing that money can't buy.
00:17:06So sorry about your mom.
00:17:08Thanks.
00:17:09She's all I've got.
00:17:12I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:17:25Hey!
00:17:26Who's out here?
00:17:31What's happening?
00:17:31Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:17:34What?
00:17:35Ron.
00:17:44Hey!
00:17:47No!
00:17:53What was that?
00:17:54That was fun.
00:17:56Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that is interest?
00:17:58No, I suppose not.
00:18:02I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:18:07I feel like I can be myself around you.
00:18:11I feel the same way.
00:18:13Will you be my girlfriend, Valentina?
00:18:15That's right.
00:18:16I'm supposed to be Valentina.
00:18:18I can't do this to him.
00:18:23But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.
00:18:25I'd love to.
00:18:32Well, well, well.
00:18:35Martina, what are you doing here?
00:18:38I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:18:42Had to see it for myself.
00:18:44Well, that blind date went so well the other night, it got me thinking maybe grandfather was right.
00:18:50Is that so?
00:18:52Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:18:54That's right.
00:18:55Wow.
00:18:56What's she like?
00:18:58She's funny.
00:18:59Mysterious.
00:19:00Confident.
00:19:01Hardworking.
00:19:03Charitable.
00:19:04She's the whole package.
00:19:06Sounds like one that Dad actually would have approved of.
00:19:09I'd love to meet her.
00:19:12Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington.
00:19:14Is this about time?
00:19:15No, not at all.
00:19:16My sister just came to visit.
00:19:18Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:19:21Martina, nice to meet you.
00:19:23Well, likewise.
00:19:24Glad to see my brother as someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:19:28Don't you worry.
00:19:29I got this.
00:19:30Well, after you lost the keys to the Maserati, I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new AI tech that we need.
00:19:36I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati.
00:19:38And don't you worry.
00:19:39I've got the codes right here on this drive, and I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:57Glad to hear you're doing that.
00:19:59I have wasted enough time.
00:20:02Now you know exactly where it is.
00:20:05Get it.
00:20:06All right.
00:20:15Where's that drive?
00:20:20Are you kidding?
00:20:23There's nothing in here.
00:20:24They're coming in.
00:20:39Crap.
00:20:39How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey.
00:20:44You don't toast my arm.
00:20:46You don't toast my arm.
00:20:48No, no, no.
00:20:49Oh, yeah.
00:21:01Sarah.
00:21:01Cheers.
00:21:02Don't you guys have the meeting with China right now?
00:21:07Right.
00:21:08Right.
00:21:08Right.
00:21:08After that.
00:21:09Yeah.
00:21:10That was close.
00:21:25Hey, girlfriend.
00:21:27Can I ask your advice on something?
00:21:28Sure.
00:21:29What's going on?
00:21:30So I have this friend who is having boy problems.
00:21:34Aren't we all?
00:21:35So she has a crush on her boss, and she doesn't know what to do about it because of the whole
00:21:39workplace relationship thing.
00:21:41How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:21:43Wait.
00:21:44I don't like Blaine.
00:21:45But he deserves to know, though, right?
00:21:47You're going to tell him?
00:21:48I mean, I don't know.
00:21:49Because what if I tell Kurt I like him and he doesn't like me, and then it's so totally
00:21:53awkward, and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.
00:21:56Wait.
00:21:57You like Kurt?
00:21:59I gotta go.
00:22:00What?
00:22:01Ring, ring.
00:22:01Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:22:04Ring, ring.
00:22:06Ring, ring.
00:22:07Ring, ring.
00:22:08Ring, ring.
00:22:09Ring, ring.
00:22:11Ariel.
00:22:12Yes, Mr. Ellington?
00:22:14I need your personal help.
00:22:16Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:22:28I've never gotten a girl a gift.
00:22:30Wow, really?
00:22:31Um, I mean, yeah.
00:22:34First girlfriend, first gift.
00:22:36Checks out.
00:22:37So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:42Oh, my God.
00:22:54I'm going to be wearing that?
00:22:56Sorry.
00:22:58Uh, your girlfriend's going to be wearing that?
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:02It's pretty nice, right?
00:23:03Well, I mean, it's option one.
00:23:06You think she'll like it?
00:23:08Um, well, what's her girlfriend like?
00:23:12What are her tastes?
00:23:15Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous.
00:23:20The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.
00:23:23I see.
00:23:28So, keep that in mind.
00:23:31Option two.
00:23:36And that's even more revealing than the first one.
00:23:39Yeah.
00:23:39Well, this is big in Europe.
00:23:41Between you and me, I'm rooting for this guy.
00:23:44Mm-hmm.
00:23:45I see.
00:23:46Do you have anything more modest?
00:23:51Hmm.
00:23:51Modest?
00:23:52Yeah.
00:23:53That seems to be the style I've been seeing these days.
00:23:57With the rich folk, at least.
00:24:00You know, now that you say it, I think I do have something.
00:24:04What do you think?
00:24:15I think she'd really like that.
00:24:22Can I have a margarita?
00:24:26You can't be serious, darling.
00:24:29She'll have a friend 75 with Konya.
00:24:31Flora, what are you doing here?
00:24:33Making sure you look the part.
00:24:36You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?
00:24:39Yes, more than anything.
00:24:40Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize.
00:24:44We need to get our hands on that code fast.
00:24:47Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery.
00:24:49But until then, we're in this together.
00:24:52Yes?
00:24:54Yeah.
00:24:55Excellent.
00:24:57Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:59Make him even more vulnerable?
00:25:01And get him to tell me where the code is.
00:25:04And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:25:06Um, be nice?
00:25:13Your ignorance is both cute and annoying.
00:25:17No.
00:25:19A man like Blaine Ellington is going to become vulnerable from two things.
00:25:24Drinking with him.
00:25:26And going to bed with him.
00:25:28Right.
00:25:31I, I can, I can do that.
00:25:33I hope so.
00:25:34Because he's coming this way.
00:25:38Get the code soon, honey.
00:25:40For your mother.
00:25:43Okay.
00:25:45Oh!
00:25:47And darling, have fun.
00:25:49Valentina.
00:25:57How are you?
00:25:58Wonderful, love.
00:26:00I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:26:02Is that so?
00:26:03Indeed.
00:26:04Indeed.
00:26:04I was so distracted.
00:26:07It affected my croquet score.
00:26:09Oh no.
00:26:10Distracted over little old me.
00:26:12Yes.
00:26:13I simply must know everything about you.
00:26:16Well, what would you like to know?
00:26:19Everything.
00:26:20Well, I don't know about everything.
00:26:23It might take some time for me to open up.
00:26:25Well, maybe after a few drinks.
00:26:29Only if you can keep up.
00:26:31See, I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking.
00:26:35Oh no.
00:26:36Well, here goes nothing.
00:26:38Nothing.
00:26:38You know, my sister is implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is
00:27:05because I forget stuff and...
00:27:08Are you forgetful?
00:27:11I mean, yeah.
00:27:14Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:27:17Oh, really?
00:27:18Yeah.
00:27:20It cost me $10,000 just to get them re-keyed.
00:27:24Which is why I should probably tell someone in case I do forget.
00:27:31So maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome.
00:27:35Trustworthy.
00:27:36Well, if you'd like, go ahead.
00:27:39I'll tell you.
00:27:40But first...
00:27:43I'm going to hit the men's room.
00:27:52This is it.
00:27:53All I need to do is ask him where the code is and my mission is over.
00:27:57Nothing can stop me now.
00:27:59Ariel?
00:28:01Except my ex-boyfriend.
00:28:02Boyfriend?
00:28:06I don't know what you're talking about, darling.
00:28:08I don't know this...
00:28:10Ariel.
00:28:11No, no, no, no, no.
00:28:13You are definitely Ariel.
00:28:16Well, what are you doing in a place like this?
00:28:19You're poor.
00:28:21Fine.
00:28:22Please just leave, Max.
00:28:24It's Maximilian now.
00:28:25Because I'm Max, and I make millions.
00:28:29Whatever.
00:28:30Please.
00:28:30I'm begging you.
00:28:31Look at you.
00:28:33You look so much better.
00:28:35You look...
00:28:37What's that word?
00:28:39Rich?
00:28:40Please.
00:28:40I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately, but I've become very rich.
00:28:46Yes.
00:28:46You've sent me 50 messages about it.
00:28:48I had to block your number.
00:28:50Oh.
00:28:50Yeah, that's right.
00:28:52Please, I'll do whatever you want, okay?
00:28:54I just...
00:28:54How about a kiss for old time's sake?
00:28:59You know, Ariel, sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together.
00:29:04This isn't happening.
00:29:05Do you not remember when we'd go and get Taco Tuesday at that Mexican restaurant and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:29:14I'm very...
00:29:15Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:29:18Yes, he does.
00:29:19A situationship of best.
00:29:20Let go, Max.
00:29:23Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:29:26Get off!
00:29:30Blaine Ellington?
00:29:32Max Fletcher.
00:29:33Maximilian?
00:29:34What are you doing with that peasant?
00:29:37That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
00:29:39Blaine Ellington.
00:29:41Getting my sloppy seconds.
00:29:43This isn't over.
00:30:01Come on, Regina.
00:30:02Just stay away from my man, skink.
00:30:09He's actually trying to.
00:30:13Are you okay?
00:30:15Yeah, I think so.
00:30:17We gotta get out of here.
00:30:19No, this isn't good.
00:30:19Care to explain this?
00:30:30I assume the article does a good job.
00:30:33Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?
00:30:37What are you, a child?
00:30:40I'm not a child.
00:30:42But he started it.
00:30:43Well, I don't care who started it.
00:30:45Ellington is a company based in family values.
00:30:51I was out with my girlfriend trying to uphold those family values.
00:30:54No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:30:56Don't play the girlfriend card, okay?
00:30:57The onus is you on this, pal.
00:31:01You know, maybe, maybe, maybe your sister was right.
00:31:04Maybe you're too much of a risk, even though you say you've settled down.
00:31:08Either way, I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.
00:31:14What would your father think?
00:31:24On the easy lies the head that wears a crown.
00:31:36What is that?
00:31:37Some family motto I'm not aware of?
00:31:39It's Shakespeare, you idiot.
00:31:41Ah.
00:31:42What are you doing here?
00:31:43You don't want any of this.
00:31:45You don't know what I want.
00:31:48Uh, booze and bimbos?
00:31:50Or does page one of the paper say something different?
00:31:53She's not a bimbo.
00:31:54Then don't treat her like one.
00:31:59Treat her like dad treated mom.
00:32:04How do you mean?
00:32:07Bring her completely into your life.
00:32:10Let her know everything about you.
00:32:13I'm trying to.
00:32:14Just last night, we were sharing everything with each other.
00:32:16Who can you share more?
00:32:19Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:32:22I will.
00:32:23I'm going to get close to this woman.
00:32:26You'll see.
00:32:27Hmm.
00:32:28And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one stem.
00:32:33Shakespeare.
00:32:35Yeah?
00:32:36Ow.
00:32:37Ow.
00:32:37Martina, how are you?
00:32:50How am I?
00:32:52Yeah.
00:32:53How are you?
00:32:54I am annoyed.
00:32:55Time is running out, understand?
00:32:57Mm-hmm.
00:32:57We chose you because we thought you could get the job done.
00:33:00But now I'm not so sure.
00:33:04Wait.
00:33:05Oh, my God.
00:33:06Do you have feelings for him?
00:33:08What?
00:33:09No.
00:33:10I hope not.
00:33:11Because you have four days to get that code.
00:33:14Or you can say bye to Mommy.
00:33:17Other than that...
00:33:17I am fine.
00:33:20Thanks for asking.
00:33:32Happy hump day, bestie!
00:33:34It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:33:36Oh, right.
00:33:37Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:33:39Better.
00:33:39And worse.
00:33:41It sounds super complicated.
00:33:45You have no idea.
00:33:46Hey, are you?
00:33:48Can you come in here?
00:33:49I'll be right there.
00:33:50Good thing you've got work to distract you.
00:33:53Good thing.
00:34:00You have the file for the new China branch?
00:34:03Yeah.
00:34:11Long night.
00:34:15You know what?
00:34:17Let's forget about the file.
00:34:28Let's just close our eyes for, um, ten minutes.
00:34:33That's an order.
00:34:43Okay.
00:34:51This is nice.
00:34:53Yeah.
00:34:55This should be, like, an everyday thing.
00:35:00Mm-hmm.
00:35:00Good morning.
00:35:04Another beautiful day in Ellington.
00:35:06Let's get it.
00:35:07Woo!
00:35:08Oh, Hannah.
00:35:13Well, I guess that's over.
00:35:19Well, everything should be there.
00:35:23I can't even concentrate on work right now.
00:35:26Oh?
00:35:27Why?
00:35:28Well, I don't know if you heard, but...
00:35:30Oh, my.
00:35:34That's, uh, quite a scene.
00:35:36Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:35:39I can imagine.
00:35:41Yeah, I just...
00:35:42I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.
00:35:48You should just talk to her.
00:35:50And be honest.
00:35:51Yeah.
00:35:51I'm going to call her.
00:35:54What?
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:57Can you be in the room when I do it?
00:35:59Uh, you want me in the room?
00:36:02Yeah.
00:36:03Maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.
00:36:07Tell me if she sounds upset.
00:36:10Uh, I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:36:13Oh, gosh.
00:36:14She makes me so nervous.
00:36:16I'm sure you make her nervous, too.
00:36:19Shit, shit, shit.
00:36:20Uh-oh.
00:36:22Uh-oh.
00:36:24Think, Ariel.
00:36:25Think.
00:36:26Uh, I'm going to be sick.
00:36:28Uh, bathroom.
00:36:28Hello, darling.
00:36:37Hey, Valentina.
00:36:40How are you?
00:36:42Thriving, my dear.
00:36:43How are you feeling?
00:36:45A little banged up, but I've been worse.
00:36:48You should have been with me in my partying days in Ibiza.
00:36:51I was an absolute heathen.
00:36:58Well, I'm glad to hear you're feeling all right.
00:37:02Uh, I was worried.
00:37:06No need, darling.
00:37:08I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:37:11Uh, I wanted to know if, uh, I get to see you again.
00:37:16You will.
00:37:17Very soon.
00:37:24Uh, sorry.
00:37:26Hey, can I help you?
00:37:29I couldn't hear you.
00:37:30It kind of sounded like...
00:37:31Uh, sorry.
00:37:33Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.
00:37:37Must be going.
00:37:38Okay.
00:37:39Uh, sure.
00:37:40See you.
00:37:41Ta-ta!
00:37:48Community theater.
00:37:50Hmm.
00:37:51Character.
00:37:52I'm rehearsing.
00:37:53We're a mystery.
00:37:58I'll, uh, send you the dates.
00:38:01I'm not in the theater.
00:38:04That's fair.
00:38:20Mom, I'm home.
00:38:21Hi, honey.
00:38:22How was your day?
00:38:26It was...
00:38:27not boring.
00:38:29How was yours?
00:38:31It was wonderful.
00:38:32I did laundry,
00:38:34watched some soaps.
00:38:37Um, what are you cooking?
00:38:38I told you I was gonna cook tonight.
00:38:41Well, you weren't home yet,
00:38:42and I wanted to go ahead and get started
00:38:43so your co-worker could have some, too.
00:38:46My co-worker?
00:38:46Hello, darling.
00:38:56Flora.
00:38:58What are you doing here?
00:39:00I was going to call you about a few work questions,
00:39:02but I was, uh,
00:39:04in the neighborhood
00:39:05and thought I'd drop in.
00:39:09Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion.
00:39:11You didn't say anything about a job promotion.
00:39:13I guess it slipped my mind.
00:39:17Well, you two don't mind me.
00:39:19Go ahead and have your work talk.
00:39:21Dinner will be ready soon.
00:39:22What are you doing here?
00:39:35Checking in to see what progress was made last night.
00:39:38I, um...
00:39:39I got close to finding out where he hit the drive,
00:39:42but I...
00:39:43But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:39:46I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:39:49Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:39:52You're not getting attached.
00:39:55What? No.
00:39:56Of course not.
00:39:57Good.
00:39:58I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:40:03Dinner's ready.
00:40:06Deeply sorry, darling.
00:40:08Urgent business.
00:40:09Must be taking off.
00:40:10Oh, um, okay.
00:40:11Well, it was nice meeting you.
00:40:13You too, darling.
00:40:15Mwah.
00:40:15Tick-tock.
00:40:29All right.
00:40:33I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal.
00:40:37Any ideas?
00:40:39Inner rehab.
00:40:41Too tacky.
00:40:42Go volunteer in a third world country?
00:40:45Mm, too obvious.
00:40:47Record an apology video for social media and post it there.
00:40:51Too cringe.
00:40:56Adopt an orphan.
00:40:57Now that is something.
00:40:59Ariel, how good are you at raising kids?
00:41:01Um, let's think of other options.
00:41:03What about a charity ball?
00:41:08Yes.
00:41:09That's it.
00:41:10That's the one.
00:41:11I like that.
00:41:12I like it a lot.
00:41:14Isn't she good?
00:41:15Phenomenal.
00:41:16Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant.
00:41:20So, really, this kind of all comes back to...
00:41:22Got it.
00:41:23Wait.
00:41:24What charity would it be for?
00:41:26How about unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:41:30I'd love that.
00:41:31Let's get it rolling.
00:41:32I'll start right away.
00:41:34Ariel, you've become an integral part of our company, and I want to have you seated at
00:41:40our VIP table.
00:41:41Oh, my gosh.
00:41:42I'm honored.
00:41:43Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend, Valentina, and you.
00:41:49Good job, Ariel.
00:41:55Let's see how it looks.
00:41:57Come on.
00:41:57Come on.
00:41:57It fits perfectly, darling.
00:42:05Wow.
00:42:06Stunning.
00:42:11Next, I'll have to get you a dress.
00:42:13A dress?
00:42:15What's the occasion?
00:42:16Well, I'm hosting this charity ball, and I would love for you to be my date.
00:42:23I love a good ball.
00:42:26But I must check my schedule, darling.
00:42:29Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?
00:42:33My new AI tech is going to revolutionize the world.
00:42:37Ah, yes.
00:42:40We got interrupted.
00:42:41You were going to tell me something important.
00:42:45What were you going to say?
00:42:48It's not really that necessary.
00:42:49You don't trust me?
00:42:53I do.
00:42:54This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO, and I just want it to go well.
00:43:01But I thought I was special.
00:43:04You are.
00:43:05I just...
00:43:06Well, you know, if you don't trust me...
00:43:09Wait.
00:43:10So, you do trust me?
00:43:17Mm-hmm.
00:43:27So, Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?
00:43:32Mm-hmm.
00:43:35Where is it?
00:43:37It's here.
00:43:38In the mansion.
00:43:40It's...
00:43:40He's here.
00:43:49Mm-hmm.
00:43:58Where in the mansion?
00:44:01It's...
00:44:01Oh.
00:44:04No.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:09Now?
00:44:10Okay.
00:44:14I'll be there.
00:44:18No, no, no.
00:44:21Where are you going, darling?
00:44:24They need me to be on this call with China, so...
00:44:27I have to leave.
00:44:29You have to leave right now, darling?
00:44:31Yeah.
00:44:32Now.
00:44:33I'm sorry.
00:44:34I'll pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:44:38Yeah.
00:44:42Martina was right about you.
00:44:44I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:46I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:46What about theở, what about you?
00:44:47I should do it.
00:44:55I should.
00:44:57Up.
00:44:58I should do it.
00:45:03I should do it.

00:54:58Here I am.
00:54:59Have you seen Valentina?
00:55:02No, I don't think so.
00:55:04About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:55:07Um, no. No, I don't think so.
00:55:10In fact...
00:55:12What?
00:55:14Nothing. It's ridiculous.
00:55:16I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me,
00:55:20that would be great.
00:55:22I'll get right on that.
00:55:24Bye.
00:55:32Just go out there and hype Lane up
00:55:35so he can deliver his speech.
00:55:37Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:55:39Okay.
00:55:41You can do this.
00:55:44Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:55:48Uh, he must be mistaken, love.
00:55:51I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:55:53Yeah, okay.
00:55:56Ariel.
00:55:58No, seriously.
00:56:00My name is Valentina Kingsley, and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:56:04Oh, I get it.
00:56:05It's like one of those improv games or something.
00:56:09No, no, no.
00:56:09No game.
00:56:11My name is...
00:56:12Who the hell should I be?
00:56:14Just be yourself.
00:56:16I'm the Queen of England.
00:56:20You can really tell it's me?
00:56:22Well, yeah.
00:56:23But, I mean, I can be very observant.
00:56:26Really?
00:56:27Mm-hmm.
00:56:28Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:56:33Okay.
00:56:34Can I ask why?
00:56:36Well, it's really complicated.
00:56:38Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:56:42Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:56:45Yeah, sure.
00:56:47Aw.
00:56:48Well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:56:54Yeah, thanks.
00:56:56I'm gonna need it.
00:56:58Ah, there you are, darling.
00:57:20Ah, Valentina.
00:57:21I'm so glad to see you.
00:57:23Look at this place.
00:57:24I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:57:28I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:57:30Of course.
00:57:31You're doing a speech, I see.
00:57:33Well, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:57:36They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:57:39You make me feel so confident.
00:57:40I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:57:50Of course.
00:57:52Okay, perfect.
00:57:53Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside.
00:57:57I must go speak with her.
00:57:58Uh, Valentina.
00:57:59I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:58:05Yes, I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:58:10Great.
00:58:11Where would this be taking place?
00:58:14In the study or?
00:58:16Upstairs.
00:58:17Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:58:19Ah, I see.
00:58:22You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:58:29What the heck did I say?
00:58:31I'll give you hints.
00:58:33If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:58:39I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:58:41Good luck, darling.
00:59:08Excuse me.
00:59:09What are you doing in here?
00:59:11Excuse me.
00:59:16What are you doing in here?
00:59:19Um...
00:59:19And who are you?
00:59:22Oh, um, uh...
00:59:24Um, I, I, um...
00:59:27You look lost.
00:59:30I am, darling.
00:59:32I am lost.
00:59:34I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:59:38Grandfather.
00:59:39Yes?
00:59:40This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:59:45Oh, yes, yes.
00:59:46From the, uh, front page of the, the Times.
00:59:48Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:59:51I hope it was all good things.
00:59:53Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.
00:59:59And I trust that Blaine is, uh, treating you respectfully, like a lady.
01:00:06She is.
01:00:08Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.
01:00:10If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.
01:00:14Right.
01:00:16Good thing.
01:00:19Shall we return to the party?
01:00:22Yes, we shall.
01:00:24Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
01:00:25You too, sir.
01:00:27Mm-hmm.
01:00:29You seem quiet.
01:00:50Is everything all right?
01:00:52Everything's fine, darling.
01:00:54Hey, Valentina.
01:00:55Hannah, I have a girl question for you.
01:01:02Oh, my God, for the love of God.
01:01:04You clearly have a crush on Hannah.
01:01:06Just ask her to dance.
01:01:08You just met me, you can already tell?
01:01:10Yes.
01:01:12You read me like a book.
01:01:14I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:01:16You're really inquisitive.
01:01:17In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:01:20Would you?
01:01:21That would be great.
01:01:24Dude.
01:01:25Hannah, I need a favor.
01:01:30Anything.
01:01:31When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
01:01:34If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
01:01:37And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.
01:01:41Got it.
01:01:44Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:01:46Really?
01:01:48Sorry.
01:01:50When?
01:01:51Tonight.
01:01:52Oh, right, it's a ball.
01:01:53It's time, brother.
01:02:15You ready?
01:02:15As ready as I'll ever be.
01:02:21Thank you for coming tonight.
01:02:24It means a lot.
01:02:25Of course.
01:02:27You're going to be amazing.
01:02:28Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.
01:02:40It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend, your CEO of Ellington Incorporated, Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:02:49Good evening, everyone.
01:02:57I want to, before we get started, thank two people who, without their help, none of this would have happened tonight.
01:03:05My assistant, Ariel, and my girlfriend, Valentina.
01:03:08Uh, not sure where they are right now, but I want to thank them for having my back.
01:03:22Hi, Anna.
01:03:24Oh, hi.
01:03:26You haven't, uh, seen Valentina around, have you?
01:03:29I wanted to try to find her so she can watch Blaine's speech.
01:03:32Valentina is sick, and Ariel was helping her get medicine.
01:03:38Oh, okay.
01:03:41Mom, you look, you look really pretty, by the way.
01:03:45Thanks.
01:03:47You look really pretty, too.
01:04:02All right, time to find this code.
01:04:12Blaine mentioned something I said?
01:04:34What the heck did I say?
01:04:38The paintings.
01:04:42So, tonight, I'm pledging $10 million to help research cures for illnesses and disorders unknown.
01:05:04Thank you all for coming.
01:05:05I hope to see you on the dance floor.
01:05:12I'm sorry, Mom.
01:05:30I failed you.
01:06:01I'll give you hints.
01:06:02If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
01:06:10He wasn't talking about the painting.
01:06:14He was talking about me.
01:06:15Really?
01:06:33Okay.
01:06:36Oh, my God.
01:07:06Okay.
01:07:10Think, Ariel.
01:07:23What could the numbers be?
01:07:25It couldn't be our first date, could it?
01:07:36I've got the code.
01:07:56Excellent, darling.
01:07:58I'll give it to you after the ball.
01:08:00Or you could give it to me now.
01:08:04Flora?
01:08:09What are you doing here?
01:08:10I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be.
01:08:15Just like you, apparently.
01:08:18The code, darling.
01:08:24The future.
01:08:27In the palm of my hand.
01:08:28I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:08:33Blake's a good man.
01:08:36You're awful.
01:08:38He's rich, darling.
01:08:39He'll get over it.
01:08:40My mom?
01:08:42And her surgery?
01:08:44I've been accused of many things.
01:08:46But I always keep my word.
01:08:49Now, go and celebrate.
01:08:51You deserve it, darling.
01:08:52You deserve it, darling.
01:09:19Balancina.
01:09:20Hi, darling.
01:09:21There you are.
01:09:23How are you feeling?
01:09:25Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:09:28Excellent.
01:09:29Care as you dance?
01:09:30Certainly.
01:09:34Well, well.
01:09:35Well.
01:09:37Well.
01:09:39Look at the happy couple.
01:09:46How did you get in?
01:09:47Oh, I have my ways.
01:09:48We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:09:52Anyway.
01:09:55I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:10:00You need to leave.
01:10:01Actually, I don't think I do.
01:10:03Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:10:07She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:10:09No.
01:10:09No, no, no.
01:10:11There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:10:14What?
01:10:15If only your little assistant had assisted you in researching her.
01:10:21You know, it's funny.
01:10:22I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:10:25Blaine, don't listen to him.
01:10:27What is he talking about?
01:10:30Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here.
01:10:35But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:10:38Ariel?
01:10:50Ariel?
01:10:50Ariel?
01:11:03This whole time, you've been Valentina?
01:11:06That's right. This whole time, you pretended to care about me. But you're just a liar.
01:11:14And worse, she's poor.
01:11:18Why?
01:11:20Yes, Ariel. But why?
01:11:23I'm so sorry.
01:11:25Ariel. Ariel, wait.
01:11:28How embarrassing.
01:11:30You know, I looked into you. You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here.
01:11:41How preposterous. If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:11:46Ew. You're poor?
01:11:51Regina!
01:11:54Whew. You're my hero.
01:11:57Well, thanks. Sometimes I just gotta tell him, you know.
01:12:06Ariel!
01:12:16What are you smiling about?
01:12:18I mean, come on. This proves it, right? He's a joke.
01:12:23No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:12:25He's a liability, Richard.
01:12:28And you are giving him the company with the luxury of not having to deal with this shit show because you won't be alive much longer.
01:12:34Oh, I don't bet on that.
01:12:36You know, you got a lot of nerve talking to me like this, kid.
01:12:41You've got a lot of nerve letting this ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:12:45I should be running this company.
01:12:49Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:56Look, I'm not fooling you.
01:12:58I don't hear it.
01:12:59I do not want to hear it.
01:13:01You lied to me.
01:13:02Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me in there.
01:13:05That is fair.
01:13:06Regina!
01:13:08Regina!
01:13:09Regina!
01:13:11Regina!
01:13:12Regina!
01:13:13Regina!
01:13:15Regina!
01:13:16Regina!
01:13:17Regina!
01:13:19Regina!
01:13:21Regina!
01:13:23Regina!
01:13:24Regina!
01:13:25Regina!
01:13:26Regina!
01:13:27Regina!
01:13:28Regina!
01:13:29Regina!
01:13:30Regina!
01:13:31Regina!
01:13:32Regina!
01:13:33Regina!
01:13:34Regina!
01:13:35That was a disaster
01:13:37I just don't understand
01:13:42Why would she go through all that?
01:13:45I don't know
01:13:46But
01:13:47These scandals are exhausting
01:13:50Yeah
01:13:51I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon
01:13:57Right
01:13:58I got a lot to think about
01:14:02What do you mean?
01:14:05I mean
01:14:06We may have to take the company
01:14:07In a complete different direction
01:14:08For it to gain back
01:14:10The public's trust
01:14:11You can't be serious
01:14:14Something better happen sooner
01:14:20It gets much worse
01:14:22Did she want anything from you?
01:14:27I don't know, Martina
01:14:28Nothing valuable?
01:14:30Martina, I said I don't
01:14:31No!
01:14:41No!
01:14:42No!
01:14:42No!
01:14:43Ariel, baby, oh, you look like you had a rough night.
01:15:10It was a disaster, really.
01:15:14I feel awful.
01:15:16Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, baby.
01:15:20Thanks, girl.
01:15:21Well, I have something to tell you.
01:15:25Dr. Westfall calls.
01:15:26Are you okay? What's going on?
01:15:29He said that an anonymous donor sent in the phones for me to have my operation.
01:15:36What?
01:15:36I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.
01:15:39Oh, my God.
01:15:40Mom, I'm so happy.
01:15:46I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake.
01:15:49I agree.
01:15:50I agree.
01:15:50I agree.
01:16:01I agree.
01:16:02It's time to celebrate.
01:16:26To the future, darling.
01:16:38Drink.
01:16:38You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:16:41There it is.
01:16:46Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:16:49People walk in and out of my office, having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:16:55Of course, I won't be able to enjoy too much longer, since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:17:02I guess I guess I just feel bad.
01:17:04To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:17:10Break the rules a little.
01:17:11I guess.
01:17:13I guess.
01:17:14Ask any CEO and they'll agree, including your little boy toy.
01:17:20Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:17:23Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:17:30What?
01:17:31All I need is your wiring info and I can send it on over.
01:17:35I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed.
01:17:39I'm sorry, you haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:17:44No, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:17:50Darlene.
01:18:09All right, one more drink and we'll start packing up my things.
01:18:21Deal, one more.
01:18:27Anna.
01:18:28Hi, Mr. Wellington.
01:18:29May I come in?
01:18:30Sure, come on in.
01:18:32Hi, cutie.
01:18:37Care for a drink?
01:18:37Oh, no.
01:18:38I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:18:41Wait, what was that?
01:18:42Mr. Wellington, I have a delivery for you.
01:18:45From who?
01:18:46Ariel.
01:18:51From who?
01:18:53Ariel.
01:18:54I don't want it.
01:18:55Take it back.
01:18:56She said you might say that, but she said that it was very, very important.
01:19:01How important?
01:19:02I don't know, but she did say that it was something so important that she only trusted me to deliver it, so it must be a big deal.
01:19:11Oh, my God.
01:19:28Oh, my God.
01:19:29What's happening?
01:19:31What's going on?
01:19:32What does this mean?
01:19:32Oh, Flora?
01:19:52Yes, darling.
01:19:53Your appointment had to leave early.
01:19:55I asked if they wanted to schedule, but they said no.
01:19:57I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:20:01What was the name?
01:20:04Valentina Kingsley?
01:20:05You're rich.
01:20:26You'll get over it, darling.
01:20:29Darling.
01:20:29Darling.
01:20:35What's going on?
01:20:45What does this mean?
01:20:51Thank you for everything.
01:20:58Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh, that one, the thing?
01:21:01Yes, yes.
01:21:02Let's, uh, let's do that.
01:21:05Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:21:16Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this.
01:21:22But it's time.
01:21:31But it's time.
01:21:35You are going to regret this.
01:21:46I promise you that.
01:21:52Jeez.
01:21:52What did you do?
01:21:54I don't know, girl.
01:21:55But the way she wears that dress, she can step on me any day.
01:22:00Let me see.
01:22:02I knew you could do it.
01:22:03I knew it.
01:22:05You know.
01:22:07Your dad would be so proud of you.
01:22:20Dr. Westfall.
01:22:22Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:22:23Is surgery over?
01:22:24How did it go?
01:22:24Yes, we just finished.
01:22:26Um, there were complications.
01:22:28Complications?
01:22:28Yes, but we were able to work through them, and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:22:34Really?
01:22:35Yeah, really, yes.
01:22:36In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:22:38She's going to need to rest for a few hours, but when she wakes up, she's going to feel better than she has in a long time.
01:22:45I can't thank you enough.
01:22:46I'm happy to help.
01:22:47I'm happy to help.
01:23:17Come in, come in.
01:23:30Welcome.
01:23:36Ariel.
01:23:38Mom, why didn't you leave out of bed?
01:23:40The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:23:42I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window, and I got kind of excited.
01:23:49Are you hungry, thirsty?
01:23:51No, thank you, but thank you.
01:23:53Oh, thank you.
01:23:54Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:23:56Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:24:00Oh, of course.
01:24:02Um, I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:24:15I'm so, so sorry.
01:24:18I, uh, I understand why you did it.
01:24:23And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:24:27Thank you for everything.
01:24:30I don't even know where to start.
01:24:33I'm not looking for an apology.
01:24:38You're not?
01:24:40No.
01:24:41See, I'm still CEO, and I need an assistant.
01:24:46And you're kind of the best in town.
01:24:48I accept.
01:24:52And, uh, you're still looking for a girlfriend?
01:25:00Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:25:04I love you, Valentina.
01:25:19I mean, Ariel.
01:25:22That's gonna take some getting used to.
01:25:26There aren't any starry rooftop views here.
01:25:29But this is my special place.
01:25:33It's even better.
01:25:34There you go.
01:25:39Wonderful.
01:25:40Bye.
01:25:45Bye.
01:25:59Bye.
01:26:03Bye.
01:26:03Bye.
01:26:03Bye.
01:26:03Bye.
01:26:03Bye.
01:26:04Bye.
