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 you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner you steal the code for Ellington's
00:02:16Are you going to stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:02:19Of course.
00:02:27Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.
00:02:34You're so...
00:02:35Rich?
00:02:37Sexy?
00:02:38Frankly, yes.
00:02:41Sorry, what was her name?
00:02:42Um, Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:47And you are?
00:02:48Lane Ellington, 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.
00:03:09Uh, it's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:03:12You want two?
00:03:14Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.
00:03:17Better bring three.
00:03:19Yeah, 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.
00:03:36What 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!
00:04:32My business dinner 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.
00:04:42Just wanted to say hi.
00:04:44Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:46Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:47Ah, classic.
00:04:49All right, well, you two have fun.
00:04:51I'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.
00:05:48You like what you see?
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.
00:06:07Okay.
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.
00:06:30Oh, yes, darling.
00:06:33Ugh.
00:06:33I 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?
00:06:46Patience, darling.
00:06:47I'm...
00:06:48Building 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?
00:06:57Oh, yes.
00:06:58It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:07:02How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:07:12That's...
00:07:12That's new.
00:07:16The painting!
00:07:18Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:07:19Oh, uh...
00:07:21Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:07:24It looks exactly like...
00:07:25The one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:07:29It's where I keep my safe.
00:07:31Huh.
00:07:32People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:07:35Thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:38Uh, no.
00:07:38It's quite popular.
00:07:41Where do you hide your...
00:07:42Luxurious safekeepings?
00:07:45In a super...
00:07:47Super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:49Oh, come on.
00:07:53Now, why don't you come over here and...
00:07:55Get this thing started.
00:07:57Oh, uh...
00:07:57Most unfortunate.
00:07:59I'm...
00:07:59I'm getting the utmost important business call.
00:08:02And I must take it.
00:08:04Right now?
00:08:05What?
00:08:06What about me?
00:08:08Valentina!
00:08:11Wait!
00:08:13Untie me!
00:08:19Ew.
00:08:20Really, Blaine?
00:08:22What?
00:08:23But...
00:08:24You and your models.
00:08:25Last 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...
00:08:42She'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.
00:08:58Hmm?
00:08:59Listen to him.
00:09:00He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:09:02I am much more qualified.
00:09:03Yeah.
00:09:06I'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?
00:09:14You weren't 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.
00:09:32Yeah, yeah.
00:09:33Thanks.
00:09:40Hello?
00:09:41How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:43To perfection, Charity has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:50Won't be long until he slips up, and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:57Brilliant.
00:09:58It's all coming together perfectly.
00:10:00And the VR tech you're developing, it'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.
00:10:09What's he doing here?
00:10:24Speaking of girls, I think I know who'd be perfect as your new assistant.
00:10:29Sorry.
00:10:30I'm fine.
00:10:33Ariel.
00:10:34How does he know my name?
00:10:35You dropped your badge.
00:10:44There you go.
00:10:45Thanks.
00:10:53You're just amazing.
00:10:54Are 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 your 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.
00:11:12Hey, 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.
00:11:35He'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.
00:11:55And 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.
00:12:17You look exactly like...
00:12:23Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:12:29Kurt described.
00:12:31Clean, organized desk, confident composure.
00:12:34There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:12:39This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:12:42When do I start?
00:12:44Perfect.
00:12:45First thing I need help with is this file.
00:12:48Oh, um, got to 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?
00:12:58Also, 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.
00:13:07Great.
00:13:13New number, huh?
00:13:18Hello?
00:13:19Hello, Ariel.
00:13:20This is Dr. Westfall.
00:13:21We just got your mother's results.
00:13:23It's not what we hoped.
00:13:29So we need to move quickly
00:13:30if we want that experimental procedure
00:13:32to be a success.
00:13:34Okay, 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.
00:14:12The doctor called?
00:14:14He says it's gotten worse.
00:14:17None of that talk, okay?
00:14:20Mom, eat before your food
00:14:22gets cold.
00:14:31I'll be right back.
00:14:32It'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.
00:14:50I'll make it to go.
00:15:06Oh, where am I?
00:15:08Valentina!
00:15:13Blaine!
00:15:13Blaine!
00:15:16Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:15:19Do you intend to have me killed?
00:15:20No, no, not at all.
00:15:22This place is special.
00:15:24Problem with me.
00:15:37How many more, uh...
00:15:39We're almost there.
00:15:40Come on.
00:15:56Wow.
00:15:56Did you look at that view?
00:16:09I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:16:11Just you, actually.
00:16:14I discovered this place after my father died.
00:16:16Are you finally dying?
00:16:20Yeah.
00:16:21I've been thrown into the CEO position,
00:16:24and, uh...
00:16:25I'm a bit in over my head,
00:16:27so I never really get a chance to myself,
00:16:30except when I come here.
00:16:31I'm so sorry.
00:16:41My mom is sick.
00:16:46She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:52So I know it feels to...
00:16:54Want to get away?
00:16:56Yeah.
00:16:59I'm used to getting everything
00:17:00but this is one thing
00:17:03that money can't buy.
00:17:06So sorry about your mom.
00:17:08Thanks.
00:17:12She's all I've got.
00:17:14I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:17:25Hey!
00:17:26Who's out here?
00:17:30What's happening?
00:17:33Technically,
00:17:33we're not supposed to be up here.
00:17:34What?
00:17:35Come on.
00:17:44Hey!
00:17:47No!
00:17:53What was that?
00:17:54That was fun.
00:17:55Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates
00:17:57that adventurous?
00:17:58No.
00:17:59I suppose not.
00:18:02I haven't felt this way
00:18:04in a really long time.
00:18:07I feel like
00:18:08I can be myself around you.
00:18:11You 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.
00:18:27I'd love to.
00:18:28Well, well, well.
00:18:35Martina,
00:18:36what are you doing here?
00:18:37Hmm.
00:18:38I heard you were actually
00:18:40acting like a big boy CEO.
00:18:42Had to see it for myself.
00:18:44Well,
00:18:45that blind date
00:18:46went so well
00:18:47the other night
00:18:47it got me thinking
00:18:48maybe grandfather was right.
00:18:50Is that so?
00:18:52Blaine's got himself
00:18:53a 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.
00:19:05Hmm.
00:19:06Sounds like one
00:19:07that dad actually
00:19:08would 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,
00:19:18this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:19:21Martina,
00:19:22nice to meet you.
00:19:23Likewise.
00:19:24Glad to see my brother
00:19:25as someone
00:19:26to make sure
00:19:26this launch goes smoothly.
00:19:28Don't you worry.
00:19:29I got this.
00:19:30Well,
00:19:31after you lost
00:19:32the keys to the Maserati,
00:19:33I'm not so sure
00:19:33that you won't lose
00:19:34this new AI tech
00:19:35that we need.
00:19:36I didn't lose
00:19:36the keys to the Maserati
00:19:38and don't you worry,
00:19:39I've got the codes
00:19:40right here
00:19:41on this drive
00:19:42and I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:44glad to hear you're doing that.
00:19:59But I have wasted
00:19:59enough time.
00:20:03Now you know
00:20:03exactly where it is.
00:20:05Get it.
00:20:06All right,
00:20:15where's that drive?
00:20:22Are you kidding?
00:20:23There's nothing in here.
00:20:24They're coming in.
00:20:39Crap!
00:20:40How about we celebrate
00:20:41your China contract
00:20:42with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:20:44You don't toast my arm.
00:20:46You don't toast my arm.
00:20:47No, no, no.
00:20:56Oh, yeah.
00:21:01Sarah?
00:21:02Cheers.
00:21:02Don't you guys have a meeting
00:21:03with China right now?
00:21:07Right.
00:21:08Right.
00:21:08Right.
00:21:08After that.
00:21:10Yeah.
00:21:17That was close.
00:21:25Hey, girlfriend.
00:21:27Can I ask you
00:21:27your advice on something?
00:21:28Sure.
00:21:29What's going on?
00:21:30So I have this friend
00:21:31who is having
00:21:32boy problems.
00:21:34Aren't we all?
00:21:35So she has a crush
00:21:36on her boss
00:21:36and she doesn't know
00:21:38what to do about it
00:21:39because of the whole
00:21:39workplace relationship thing.
00:21:41How did she find out
00:21:41I like Blaine?
00:21:43Wait,
00:21:44I don't like Blaine.
00:21:45But he deserves
00:21:45to know though, right?
00:21:47You're going to tell him?
00:21:48I mean,
00:21:48I don't know
00:21:49because what if I tell Kurt
00:21:50I like him
00:21:51and he doesn't like me
00:21:52and then it's so totally awkward
00:21:53and so he fires me
00:21:54because 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,
00:22:02I'm getting a good call.
00:22:04Ring, ring.
00:22:06Ring, ring.
00:22:07Ring, ring.
00:22:11Ariel.
00:22:12Yes,
00:22:13Mr. Ellington?
00:22:14I need your personal help.
00:22:16Well,
00:22:16I am your personal assistant.
00:22:28I've never gotten a girl a gift.
00:22:30Wow,
00:22:30really?
00:22:31Um,
00:22:32I mean,
00:22:33yeah,
00:22:34first girlfriend,
00:22:35first gift.
00:22:36Checks out.
00:22:37So,
00:22:38I need your help
00:22:39to figure out
00:22:40which you think
00:22:41a woman would prefer.
00:22:42Oh my God,
00:22:54I'm gonna be wearing that.
00:22:56Sorry.
00:22:58Uh,
00:22:58your girlfriend's
00:22:59gonna be wearing that?
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:02It's pretty nice,
00:23:02right?
00:23:03Well,
00:23:04I mean,
00:23:04it's option one.
00:23:06You think she'll like it?
00:23:08Um,
00:23:09well,
00:23:10what's your girlfriend like?
00:23:12What are her
00:23:13tastes?
00:23:15Um,
00:23:16sophisticated,
00:23:18generous,
00:23:19gorgeous.
00:23:20The whole world
00:23:21slows down
00:23:22whenever she walks
00:23:22into a room.
00:23:23I see.
00:23:28So,
00:23:29keep that in mind.
00:23:31Option two.
00:23:36And that's even more
00:23:37revealing than the first one.
00:23:39Yeah.
00:23:40This is big in Europe.
00:23:41Between you and me,
00:23:42I'm rooting for this guy.
00:23:44Mm-hmm.
00:23:45I see.
00:23:46Do you have anything
00:23:47more
00:23:48modest?
00:23:51Hmm.
00:23:51Modest?
00:23:52Yeah.
00:23:53That
00:23:53seems to be the style
00:23:55I've been seeing
00:23:56these days.
00:23:57With the rich folk.
00:23:59At least.
00:24:00You know,
00:24:01now that you say it,
00:24:02I think I do have something.
00:24:09Aha.
00:24:12What do you think?
00:24:15I think she'd really like that.
00:24:21Ah.
00:24:22Can I have a margarita?
00:24:26You can't be serious,
00:24:27darling.
00:24:29She'll have a friend
00:24:3075 with Konya.
00:24:32Flora,
00:24:32what are you doing here?
00:24:33Making sure you look the part.
00:24:36You want to make the money
00:24:37for your dear mother,
00:24:38don't you?
00:24:39Yes,
00:24:39more than anything.
00:24:40Then you need to keep
00:24:41your eyes on the prize.
00:24:44We need to get our hands
00:24:45on that code fast.
00:24:46Once I do,
00:24:47I can fund your mother's surgery,
00:24:49but until then,
00:24:50we're in this together.
00:24:52Yes?
00:24:54Yeah.
00:24:56Excellent.
00:24:57Now,
00:24:58what's your game plan?
00:24:59Make him
00:25:00even more vulnerable
00:25:01and get him to tell me
00:25:03where the code is.
00:25:04And how do you suppose
00:25:05you'll do that?
00:25:06Be nice?
00:25:13Your ignorance is both cute
00:25:15and annoying.
00:25:17No.
00:25:18A man like
00:25:20Blaine Ellington
00:25:21is going to become
00:25:22vulnerable from two things.
00:25:24Drinking with him
00:25:25and going to bed with him.
00:25:29Right.
00:25:31I can do that.
00:25:33I hope so,
00:25:34because he's coming this way.
00:25:38Get the code soon, honey.
00:25:41For your mother.
00:25:43Okay.
00:25:45Oh!
00:25:47And darling,
00:25:48have fun.
00:25:51Okay.
00:25:54Valentina.
00:25:57How are you?
00:25:58Wonderful, love.
00:26:00I've been looking forward
00:26:01to this all day.
00:26:02Is that so?
00:26:03Indeed.
00:26:05I 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
00:26:15everything about you.
00:26:16Well,
00:26:17what would you like to know?
00:26:18Everything.
00:26:21Well,
00:26:21I don't know about everything.
00:26:23It might take some time
00:26:24for me to open up.
00:26:25Well,
00:26:26maybe after a few drinks.
00:26:29Only if you can keep up.
00:26:31See,
00:26:31I don't really start talking
00:26:33until after a lot of drinking.
00:26:35Oh, no.
00:26:36Well,
00:26:37here goes nothing.
00:26:38What's up?
00:26:39What's up?
00:26:40What's up?
00:26:45What's up?
00:26:45Oh,
00:26:45you know,
00:26:46my sister is implying today
00:27:01that I should tell someone
00:27:03where my new AI code is
00:27:05because I forget stuff
00:27:06because I forget stuff
00:27:06and...
00:27:07Are you forgetful?
00:27:11I mean,
00:27:12yeah.
00:27:14Can you actually believe
00:27:15I lost the keys
00:27:16to a Maserati?
00:27:18Really?
00:27:18Yeah.
00:27:20It cost me $10,000
00:27:22just to get them reekied,
00:27:24which is why
00:27:25I should probably tell someone
00:27:28in case I do forget.
00:27:31So,
00:27:32maybe I should tell you
00:27:33because you're so awesome
00:27:34and trustworthy.
00:27:35Well,
00:27:37if you'd like,
00:27:38go ahead.
00:27:39I'll tell you,
00:27:40but first...
00:27:43I'm gonna hit the men's room.
00:27:52This is it.
00:27:53All I need to do
00:27:54is ask him where the code is
00:27:55and my mission is over.
00:27:57Nothing can stop me now.
00:27:59Ariel?
00:28:01Except my ex-boyfriend.
00:28:03I don't know
00:28:07what 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,
00:28:17what are you doing
00:28:17in a place like this?
00:28:19You're poor.
00:28:21Fine.
00:28:22Please,
00:28:22just leave, Max.
00:28:24It's Maximilian now
00:28:25because I'm Max
00:28:27and 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...
00:28:37Oh, what's that word?
00:28:39Rich?
00:28:40Please.
00:28:40I don't know
00:28:41if you've been keeping up
00:28:42with my life lately,
00:28:43but I've become very rich.
00:28:46Yes.
00:28:47You've sent me 50 messages
00:28:48about it.
00:28:48I had to block your number.
00:28:50Oh.
00:28:50Yeah, that's right.
00:28:52Please,
00:28:52I'll do whatever you want,
00:28:54okay?
00:28:54I just...
00:28:54How about a kiss
00:28:57for old time's sake?
00:28:59You know,
00:29:00Ariel,
00:29:00sometimes I reminisce
00:29:02on our poor days together.
00:29:04This isn't happening.
00:29:06Do you not remember
00:29:07when we'd go
00:29:07and get Taco Tuesday
00:29:08at that Mexican restaurant
00:29:10and eat unlimited
00:29:12discount tacos?
00:29:13Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:29:18Yes, he does.
00:29:19A situationship of best.
00:29:21Let go, Max.
00:29:23Nobody walks away
00:29:24from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:29:26Get off!
00:29:30Blaine Ellington?
00:29:32Max Fletcher.
00:29:33Maximilian?
00:29:34What are you doing
00:29:36with that peasant?
00:29:37That's my girlfriend
00:29:38you're talking about.
00:29:39Blaine Ellington
00:29:40getting my sloppy set kiss.
00:29:56This isn't over.
00:30:00Come on, Regina.
00:30:06Just stay away
00:30:07from my man, skink.
00:30:08He's actively 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.
00:30:27Care to explain this?
00:30:30I assume the article
00:30:31does a good job.
00:30:33Getting into
00:30:34a physical altercation
00:30:36in a bar?
00:30:39What are you,
00:30:40a child?
00:30:40I'm not a child.
00:30:42But he started it.
00:30:43Well, I don't care
00:30:44who started it.
00:30:46Ellington
00:30:46is a company
00:30:47based in family values.
00:30:51I was out with my girlfriend
00:30:52trying to uphold
00:30:54those family values.
00:30:54No, no, no,
00:30:55don't, don't, don't, don't,
00:30:56don't play the girlfriend card,
00:30:57okay?
00:30:57The onus is you
00:30:58on this, pal.
00:31:01You know,
00:31:01maybe, maybe,
00:31:02maybe your sister
00:31:03was right.
00:31:04Maybe you're too much
00:31:05of a risk,
00:31:05even though you say
00:31:06you've settled down.
00:31:07Either way,
00:31:10I just hope all this
00:31:10boils over
00:31:11next time we talk.
00:31:14What would your father think?
00:31:15And the easy lies the head
00:31:34that wears a crown.
00:31:36What is that?
00:31:37Some family motto
00:31:38I'm not aware of?
00:31:39It's Shakespeare,
00:31:40you idiot.
00:31:40What are you doing here?
00:31:43You don't want any of this.
00:31:45You don't know
00:31:46what I want.
00:31:47Uh,
00:31:48booze and bimbos?
00:31:50Or does page one
00:31:51of the paper
00:31:51say something different?
00:31:53She's not a bimbo.
00:31:56Then don't treat her
00:31:57like one.
00:31:59Treat her like
00:32:00dad treated mom.
00:32:01How do you mean?
00:32:07Bring her completely
00:32:08into your life.
00:32:10Let her know
00:32:11everything about you.
00:32:12I'm trying to.
00:32:14Just last night,
00:32:15we were sharing
00:32:15everything with you.
00:32:16How can you share more?
00:32:19Behind most men's success
00:32:20is a strong woman.
00:32:22I will.
00:32:24I'm gonna get close
00:32:25to this woman.
00:32:26You'll see.
00:32:26And you will be like
00:32:29two lovely berries
00:32:31molded onto one stem.
00:32:33Shakespeare.
00:32:35Yeah?
00:32:36Ow.
00:32:47Martina,
00:32:48how 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,
00:32:56I understand.
00:32:57We chose you
00:32:58because we thought
00:32:59you could get
00:32:59the 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
00:33:07for him?
00:33:08What?
00:33:09No.
00:33:10I hope not
00:33:11because you have
00:33:12four days to get
00:33:12that code.
00:33:14Or you can say
00:33:14bye to mommy.
00:33:17Other than that.
00:33:18I am fine.
00:33:20Thanks for asking.
00:33:21Happy hump day,
00:33:33bestie.
00:33:34It's Tuesday,
00:33:35Hannah.
00:33:36Oh, right.

00:33:41And worse.
00:33:43That sounds super
00:33:44complicated.
00:33:45You have no idea.
00:33:46Aaron?
00:33:48Can you come in here?
00:33:49I'll be right there.
00:33:50Good thing you've got
00:33:51work to distract you.
00:33:53Good thing.

00:34:02China branch?
00:34:03Yeah.

00:34:15You know what?
00:34:17Let's forget about
00:34:18the file.
00:34:28Let's just
00:34:29close our eyes
00:34:30for
00:34:3110 minutes.
00:34:33That's
00:34:42an order.
00:34:43Okay.

00:35:14I guess that's
00:35:15over.
00:35:18Well,

00:35:20be there.
00:35:20I can't even
00:35:24concentrate on work
00:35:25right now.
00:35:26Oh?

00:35:42I hope
00:35:43my girlfriend
00:35:44doesn't think
00:35:44that that's
00:35:45my kind
00:35:46of lifestyle.
00:35:48You should
00:35:48just talk to her
00:35:49and be honest.
00:35:51Yeah.
00:35:52I'm gonna call her.
00:35:54What?
00:35:55Yeah,
00:35:57can you be

00:36:00Uh,
00:36:00you want me
00:36:01in the room?
00:36:02Yeah.
00:36:03Maybe you could,
00:36:04you know,
00:36:04listen to her voice
00:36:05and read her.
00:36:07Tell me if she
00:36:07sounds upset.
00:36:10Uh,
00:36:11I don't know
00:36:12if I feel
00:36:12comfortable.
00:36:13Oh, gosh,

00:36:14so nervous.

00:36:42my dear.
00:36:43How are you
00:36:44feeling?
00:36:45A little banged up,
00:36:46but I've been
00:36:47worse.
00:36:48You should have
00:36:49been with me
00:36:49in my partying
00:36:50days in Ibiza.
00:36:51I was an
00:36:52absolute heathen.
00:36:53Well, I'm
00:37:00glad to hear
00:37:00you're feeling
00:37:01all right.
00:37:02Uh,

00:42:33My new AI tech
00:42:34is going to
00:42:36revolutionize
00:42:37the world.
00:42:38Ah, yes.
00:42:40We got interrupted.
00:42:42You were going to
00:42:42tell me something
00:42:43important.
00:42:45What were you
00:42:46going to say?
00:42:48It's not really
00:42:48that necessary.
00:42:49You don't trust me?
00:42:53I do.
00:42:55This is my first
00:42:55major launch
00:42:57as Ellington CEO,
00:42:58and I just
00:42:59want it to go well.
00:43:01But I thought
00:43:02I was special.
00:43:04You are.
00:43:05I just...
00:43:06Well,
00:43:07you know,

00:43:16So Blaine's
00:43:28going to tell me
00:43:28the super
00:43:30special secret?
00:43:32Mm-hmm.
00:43:35Where is it?
00:43:37It's here.
00:43:38In the mansion.
00:43:43It's here.
00:43:43Where in the
00:43:58mansion?
00:44:01It's...
00:44:03Yeah.
00:44:09Now?
00:44:10Where are you
00:44:22going, darling?
00:44:24They need me
00:44:25to be on this
00:44:25call with China,
00:44:26so...
00:44:27I have to leave.
00:44:29You have to leave
00:44:29right now,
00:44:30darling?
00:44:31Yeah.
00:44:32Now.
00:44:33I'm sorry.
00:44:35Pick this back
00:44:36up again soon,
00:44:37huh?
00:44:38Yeah.
00:44:40Martina was
00:44:42right about you.
00:44:44I should start
00:44:45sharing more
00:44:45with you.
00:44:46I'm sorry.
00:44:55I shouldn't see you
00:44:56have to laugh.
00:44:57OK.
00:44:58Close then.
00:44:59Now?
00:44:59Did you get it?
00:45:18The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:45:21Excellent, darling.
00:45:23Excellent.
00:45:29Max, what are you doing here?
00:45:50What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:45:52Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?
00:45:56You wouldn't understand.
00:45:57Oh, I understand.
00:45:59You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:46:03No, I'm not.
00:46:05You know, I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.
00:46:11It's only the right thing to do.
00:46:15Please don't.
00:46:16You don't know what I'm doing.
00:46:17Oh, you lose your job?
00:46:19Your reputation?
00:46:21Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:46:25What do you want, Max?
00:46:26I just want a little, an arrangement.
00:46:31I'd rather not.
00:46:32Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:46:37Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:46:39Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.
00:46:43I want to destroy you.
00:46:46You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.
00:46:51If by tomorrow I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town,
00:46:57I'll do it for you.
00:47:00You seem extra happy today.
00:47:18I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole nother level last night.
00:47:22Wow, that's awesome, man.
00:47:24I'm so happy for you.
00:47:26Hi, Mr. Ellington.
00:47:27Hi, Kurt.
00:47:28Hi, Anna.
00:47:29Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:47:33Kurt?
00:47:35Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:47:40Hi, Ariel.
00:47:41Are you all right?
00:47:43Yeah, I'm all right.
00:47:45Um, I actually had an idea about the Cherry Bowl.
00:47:50Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:47:55I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:59Where?
00:47:59I was thinking your house.
00:48:06Uh, I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:48:11Well, if we host it ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:48:17And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:48:20Yeah, that makes sense.
00:48:23Okay, let's do it.
00:48:25Great.
00:48:26I'll send out the invitations.
00:48:29She really knows his company, inside and out.
00:48:34What do you know about Ariel?
00:48:37What do you want to know?
00:48:52Here you go, Mom.
00:48:54I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:48:57I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:58That's okay.
00:48:59We can watch it next weekend.
00:49:02Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:49:06Mom, you are my friend.
00:49:08People your age.
00:49:10Who you can be out dancing with.
00:49:12Flirting with boys.
00:49:15I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:49:18What?
00:49:19What's he like?
00:49:21It's complicated.
00:49:23Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:49:25Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:49:36Sweetie, I'm fine.
00:49:39I just need some rest.
00:49:40And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.
00:50:03I'm dreading giving this speech.
00:50:07I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:50:10I always thought that was a little pervy, but...
00:50:13I promise.
00:50:16You're going to be amazing.
00:50:18Thank you so much for helping with this.
00:50:22This charity ball idea was genius.
00:50:25I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:50:28I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:50:33Well, I should get going.
00:50:35Wait, um...
00:50:37I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:50:39Make sure the dress fits.
00:50:42I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:50:44All right.
00:50:45Good night.
00:50:46Good night.
00:50:54Hello, darling.
00:51:00I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:51:04It's perfect.
00:51:05I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:51:08I can't wait either, darling.
00:51:10Good night.
00:51:11Good night.
00:51:15Good night.
00:51:24Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:51:35Thanks, Kurt.
00:51:37You're looking sharp.
00:51:38Oh, yeah.
00:51:39Well, got to dress to impress, you know?
00:51:42Are you trying to impress anyone?
00:51:45Nah.
00:51:46Listen, random.
00:51:49Does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:51:52I don't think so.
00:51:55Do you like her?
00:51:56No.
00:51:57No, no, no, no.
00:51:59No, I'm just trying to make friendly conversation.
00:52:03Yeah.
00:52:05We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:52:10Oh!
00:52:11You're still here.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:14Uh, listen.
00:52:14Listen, if someone were to ask Hannah to dance, what do you think the chances are that she
00:52:22would say yes?
00:52:24Probably good.
00:52:26Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:52:29No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:52:31No, I'm just, um, a fan of wild, hypothetical scenarios.
00:52:37That one just sprung to mind.
00:52:39Mm-hmm.
00:52:40Mm-hmm.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:43Yep.
00:52:44Um, well, I, I'm going to go help Blaine practice his speech.
00:52:53So, I'm going to do that right now.
00:52:56I will see you later.
00:52:58All right, see ya.
00:53:01And you must be Ariel.
00:53:02Yes, hi.
00:53:09Hmm.
00:53:10You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:53:14He has?
00:53:14Oh, yes, yes.
00:53:15In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing was your idea.
00:53:21I suppose so.
00:53:23Wonderful.
00:53:25Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:53:30Wow, that's such an honor.
00:53:32I heard he was a great man.
00:53:35He was a great man.
00:53:37Martina.
00:53:39Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:53:43Yes, briefly.
00:53:44She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.
00:53:47Yes, yes, she has.
00:53:49In fact, I can, uh, I can see her playing a bigger role than Ellington if she keeps it up.
00:53:55Why wait?
00:53:56She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:59Really?
00:54:00I think so.
00:54:01Don't you, Ariel?
00:54:03Uh, uh-huh.
00:54:06Amazing.
00:54:07Well, I can't wait.
00:54:14Me either.
00:54:14You don't need to know.
00:54:16No.
00:54:18Ah.
00:54:25Human.
00:54:26I don't need to know.
00:54:27Yeah.
00:54:27I don't know.
00:54:28No.
00:54:28Let's go.
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.
00:55:11In fact...
00:55:12What?
00:55:14Nothing. It's ridiculous.
00:55:17I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me, that would be great.
00:55:22I'll get right on that.
00:55:24Bye.
00:55:28Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.
00:55:37Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:55:39Okay.
00:55:41You can do this.
00:55:42Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:55:48Uh, you must be mistaken, love.
00:55:51I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:55:55Yeah, okay.
00:55:56Ariel.
00:55:57No, 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. No game.
00:56:11My name is...
00:56:12Who else 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.
00:56:27Really?
00:56:28Mm-hmm.
00:56:29Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:56:33Okay.
00:56:34Can I ask why?
00:56:35Uh, well, it's really complicated.
00:56:38Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:56:43Can 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.
00:56:57Okay.
00:57:05Ah, 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.
00:57:33Oh, 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.
00:57:42I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:57:50Of course.
00:57:52Okay, perfect.
00:57:54Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside.
00:57:57I must go speak with her.
00:57:58Uh, Valentina, I was thinking maybe tonight.
00:58:03I could show you the AI code.
00:58:07Yes.
00:58:08I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:58:10Great.
00:58:12Where would this be taking place?
00:58:14In the study or?
00:58:16Upstairs.
00:58:17Hidden in a very high tech safe.
00:58:20Ah, I see.
00:58:21You 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.
00:58:37I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:58:43Good luck, darling.
00:58:46Excuse me.
00:59:09What are you doing in here?
00:59:10Excuse me.
00:59:17What are you doing in here?
00:59:19Um.
00:59:20And who are you?
00:59:22Oh.
00:59:23Um.
00:59:23Uh.
00:59:24Um.
00:59:25I.
00:59:26I.
00:59:26Um.
00:59:27You look lost.
00:59:29I am, darling.
00:59:32I am lost.
00:59:33I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:59:38Mm.
00:59:39Grandfather.
00:59:39Yes.
00:59:40This is Valentina Kingsley.
00:59:42Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:59:45Oh, yes.
00:59:46Yes.
00:59:46From the front page of the Times.
00:59:49Yes.
00:59:49I've heard a lot about you.
00:59:51Hope it was all good things.
00:59:53Well.
00:59:54I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.
01:00:00And 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.
01:00:16Right.
01:00:17Good thing.
01:00:19Shall we return to the party?
01:00:21Yes, we shall.
01:00:24Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
01:00:25Oh.
01:00:27You too, sir.
01:00:27You seem quiet.
01:00:50Is everything all right?
01:00:52Everything's fine, darling.
01:00:54Hey, Valentina.
01:00:56I have a girl question for you.
01:01:02Oh, my God.
01:01:03For the love I've got it.
01:01:04You clearly have a crush on Hannah.
01:01:06Just ask her to dance.
01:01:08You just met me.
01:01:09You 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.
01:01:18In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:01:20Would you?
01:01:21That would be great.
01:01:24Dude.
01:01:28Hannah.
01:01:29I 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.
01:01:42Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:01:47Really?
01:01:48Sorry.

01:06:10He wasn't talking about the painting.
01:06:14He was talking about me.
01:06:31He was talking about me.
01:07:01Okay.
01:07:10Think, Ariel.
01:07:11What could the numbers be?
01:07:25It couldn't be our first date, could it?
01:07:28I'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?
01:08:05What 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.
01:08:20The future in the palm of my hand.
01:08:29I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:08:33Lane'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.
01:08:41And her surgery.
01:08:44I've been accused of many things.
01:08:46But I always keep my word.
01:08:50Now, go and celebrate.
01:08:51You deserve it, darling.
01:08:52You deserve it, darling.
01:09:16Balancina.
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 to dance?
01:09:30Certainly.
01:09:34Well, well, well, well.
01:09:39Look at the happy couple.
01:09:46How did you get in?
01:09:47Oh, I have my ways.
01:09:49We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:09:52Anyway, I 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, 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.
01:10:26Lane, 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.
01:10:45Ariel?
01:10:50Ariel?
01:10:50Ariel?
01:10:51This whole time, you've been Valentina?
01:11:07That's right.
01:11:08This whole time, you pretended to care about me.
01:11:12But you're just a liar.
01:11:14And worse, she's poor.
01:11:18Why?
01:11:20Yes, Ariel.
01:11:21But why?
01:11:23I'm so sorry.
01:11:25Ariel.
01:11:26Ariel, wait.
01:11:27How embarrassing.
01:11:32You know, I looked into you.
01:11:36You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here.
01:11:41How preposterous.
01:11:43If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:11:47Ew.
01:11:47You're poor?
01:11:51Regina!
01:11:54Oh.
01:11:57You're my hero.
01:11:58Thanks.
01:12:00Sometimes I just gotta tell him, you know.
01:12:06Ariel!
01:12:06Ariel!
01:12:07What are you smiling about?
01:12:18I mean, come on.
01:12:20This proves it, right?
01:12:21He's a joke.
01:12:23No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:12:26He'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
01:12:32because you won't be alive much longer.
01:12:34Oh, I don't bet on that.
01:12:36You know, you've 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.
01:12:46I should be running this company.
01:12:49Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:56Look, I'm not cool.
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.
01:13:04No, I'm there.
01:13:05That is fair.
01:13:06No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:07No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:08No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:09No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:10No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:11No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:12No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:13No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:14No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:15No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:16No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:17No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:18No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:19No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:20No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:21No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:22No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:23No, I don't want to hear it.
01:13:24That 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
01:13:54Right
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 in a complete different direction
01:14:09If we're in a game 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!
01:14:42No!

01:15:33funds for me to have my operation what i'm scheduled for surgery on tuesday my god

01:15:49i agree
01:15:51oh
01:15:58oh
01:16:00oh
01:16:02oh
01:16:04oh
01:16:06oh

01:16:16oh
01:16:25it's time to celebrate
01:16:27to the future darling
01:16:31drink you've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory
01:16:41your victory. There it is. Doesn't our little prize look nice? People walk in and out of
01:16:52my office having no idea what's in the room with them. Of course, I won't be able to enjoy
01:16:59too much longer since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight. I guess I just feel
01:17:04bad. To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things. Break the rules
01:17:11a little. I guess. Ask any CEO and they'll agree, including your little boy toy. Blaine
01:17:22would never do anything like that. Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid
01:17:29for, shall we? What? All I need is your wiring info and I can send it on over. I trust that
01:17:37the original estimate hasn't changed. I'm sorry, you haven't paid for the surgery yet? No, that's
01:17:45why we're here, isn't it? Darlene?
01:17:50All right. One more drink and we'll start packing up my things.
01:18:20Deal. One more.
01:18:28Anna.
01:18:28Hi, Mr. Ellington. May I come in?
01:18:30Sure. Come on in.
01:18:32Hi, cutie.
01:18:37Care for a drink?
01:18:38Oh, no. I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:18:41Wait, what was that?
01:18:42Mr. Ellington, I have a delivery for you.
01:18:45From who?
01:18:46Ariel.
01:18:46From who?
01:18:53Ariel.
01:18:54I don't want it. Take it back.
01:18:56She said you might say that, but she said that it was very, very important.
01:19:02How important?
01:19:04I don't know, but she did say that it was something so important that she only trusted me to deliver
01:19:10for it, so it must be a big deal.
01:19:26Oh, my God.
01:19:28Oh, my God.
01:19:29Ew! What's happening?
01:19:30What's going on? What does this mean?
01:19:51Oh, Flora?
01:19:52Yes, darling.
01:19:53Uh, your appointment had to leave early.
01:19:55I asked if they wanted to schedule, but they said no.
01:19:58I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:20:01What was the name?
01:20:05Valentina Kingsley?
01:20:05You're rich.
01:20:27You'll get over it, darling.
01:20:29Darling.
01:20:29Oh, what's going on? What does this mean?
01:20:51Thank you for everything.
01:20:53Hannah, did you want to help me with that, uh, that one, the thing?
01:21:01Yes, yes, let's, uh, let's do that.
01:21:09Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:21:16Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this.
01:21:20But it's time.
01:21:31But it's time.
01:21:37To celebrate.
01:21:44You are going to regret this.
01:21:46I promise you that.
01:21:50Geez, what 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.
01:22:01See, I knew you could do it.
01:22:03I knew it.
01:22:05You know.
01:22:08Your dad would be so proud of you.
01:22:09Dr. 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.
01:22:39She'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 don't know.
01:23:15Come in. Come in. Welcome. Ariel. Mom, why didn't you get out of bed? The 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. Are you hungry? Thirsty? No, thank you. But thank you. Oh, thank you. Sit down. Make yourself comfortable. Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy? Oh, of course. I'll just be right over here. Don't mind me.
01:24:12I'm so, so sorry. I, uh, I understand why you did it. And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:24:27Thank you for everything. I don't even know where to start.
01:24:35I'm not looking for an apology. You're not? No. See, I'm still CEO and I need an assistant. And you're kind of the best in town.
01:24:48I accept. And, 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. I mean, Ariel. That's gonna take some good gifts, too.
01:25:24There aren't any starry rooftop views here, but this is my special place.
01:25:33It's even better.
