00:00:00Hey, this is Richard Allenton, I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message.
00:00:15Hey, Grandpa.
00:00:17It's one thing to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody-two-shoe women,
00:00:24but to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind
00:00:27date, that's low.
00:00:33Let's hope this one's different.
00:00:34I don't even know what to say to this guy.
00:00:35I don't know how to talk to rich people.
00:00:36Be sexy.
00:00:37Darling, just act better than everyone else in the room.
00:00:38And being sexy is easy.
00:00:39Bite your lip, push up the girls.
00:00:40It works every time.
00:00:41Wait, what about girls?
00:00:42And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily.
00:00:43So challenge them, be bold and put them on the spot.
00:01:03I don't think I can do this.
00:01:04The sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your
00:01:09mother's surgery.
00:01:10It's your call.
00:01:11It's your call.
00:01:42Are you going to stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:01:45Of course.
00:01:46Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.
00:01:59You're so...
00:02:00Rich?
00:02:01Sexy?
00:02:02Frankly, yes.
00:02:03Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:04Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:05And you are?
00:02:06Blaine Ellington.
00:02:07CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:08And this is a successful company?
00:02:09It's not ringing any bells.
00:02:10Waiter?
00:02:11Yes, Mr. Ellington.
00:02:12You still have the Chateau Patrous on the shelf, yes?
00:02:13Yes, of course.
00:02:14If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:02:15Uh, yes, of course.
00:02:34It's $60,000 per bottle, sir.
00:02:37You want two?
00:02:39Actually, I'm pretty thirsty.
00:02:42Better bring three.
00:02:43Yes, of course.
00:02:44Right away, sir.
00:02:51And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:02:54I invest.
00:02:56In what?
00:02:58In everything.
00:03:01What am I not investing in?
00:03:04Businesses.
00:03:05Charities.
00:03:08I see.
00:03:09And you live in the city?
00:03:12The city.
00:03:14The hills.
00:03:16My yacht.
00:03:18My private island.
00:03:21I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:23You're so impressive.
00:03:26So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:30Doesn't surprise me.
00:03:31I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:37Um, you've got a little, uh...
00:03:51Kurt?
00:03:52Kurt?
00:03:53What's my manager doing here?
00:03:56Blaine.
00:03:59My business dinner just ended.
00:04:00The presentation for the China branch is looking good.
00:04:03Amazing.
00:04:04You're the best, Kurt.
00:04:05Well, I just, uh, won't keep you two.
00:04:06Just wanted to say hi.
00:04:09Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:11Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:12Ah, classic.
00:04:14All right, well, you two have fun.
00:04:22I've got to be honest with you.
00:04:26You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.
00:04:29Would you like to come to my place?
00:04:32I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:04:35Absolutely, darling.
00:04:42Whoa.
00:04:45Welcome to my home.
00:04:47After you.
00:04:57Oh, my.
00:05:12You like what you see?
00:05:15You're getting there, darling.
00:05:17Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:20Well, then, shall we get started?
00:05:25Uh, not so fast.
00:05:28Okay, a little foreplay?
00:05:31I did not think this through at all.
00:05:33How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:05:41Looking for something?
00:05:43Oh, um...
00:05:46Ah.
00:05:48I should have known that was your style.
00:05:51I should have known that was your style.
00:05:54Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:57Ugh, I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:06:00I'm not used to being the one tied up.
00:06:02It's usually the other way around.
00:06:08Valentina?
00:06:10Patience, darling.
00:06:12I'm building the suspense.
00:06:15Ah, I see.
00:06:17Where could it be?
00:06:19Yes, and...
00:06:21You say guys actually like this?
00:06:23Oh, yes.
00:06:24It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:06:30How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:37That's...
00:06:38That's new.
00:06:42The painting!
00:06:43Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:06:45Oh, uh...
00:06:46Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:06:49It looks exactly like the one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:06:54It's where I keep my safe.
00:06:57People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:07:01I thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:03Oh, no, it's quite popular.
00:07:06Where do you hide your luxurious safe keepings?
00:07:10In a super, super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:14Oh, come on.
00:07:18Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?
00:07:22Oh, uh...
00:07:23Most unfortunate, I'm getting the utmost important business call,
00:07:27and I must take it.
00:07:29Right now?
00:07:30What?
00:07:31What about me?
00:07:33Valentina!
00:07:37Wait!
00:07:38Untie me!
00:07:44Ew.
00:07:45Really, Blaine?
00:07:47What?
00:07:48You and your models.
00:07:51Last night was not a model.
00:07:54I was actually impressed.
00:07:56Did I hear right?
00:07:58Blaine actually had a date he liked?
00:08:01It was fantastic.
00:08:03The other girls are so boring.
00:08:05But this one...
00:08:07She's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:08:09I must see her again.
00:08:11Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:15It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with
00:08:17and running the company.
00:08:22Grandfather.
00:08:23Hmm?
00:08:24Listen to him.
00:08:25He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:08:27I am much more qualified.
00:08:31I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:08:33No, no, no, no.
00:08:35Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:08:38Right?
00:08:40You weren't meant to be some CEO.
00:08:42No, but Blaine...
00:08:44Blaine will learn in time.
00:08:46Whatever.
00:08:48Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:08:51I have actual work to attend to.
00:08:57Yeah, yeah, thanks.
00:09:05Hello?
00:09:06How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:10To perfection.
00:09:13Charity has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:15It won't be long until he flips up
00:09:17and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:22Brilliant.
00:09:23It's all coming together perfectly.
00:09:25And the VR tech you're developing,
00:09:27it'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?
00:09:30Oh, yes.
00:09:31It'll be ready.
00:09:32Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:09:39What's he doing here?
00:09:40Speaking of girls, I think I know who would be perfect as your new assistant.
00:09:45Oh.
00:09:46Sorry.
00:09:47I'm fine.
00:09:50Ariel.
00:09:51How does he know my name?
00:09:53You dropped your badge.
00:10:04I'm sorry.
00:10:05I'm sorry.
00:10:06I'm sorry.
00:10:07I'm sorry.
00:10:09There you go.
00:10:10Thanks.
00:10:18She's amazing.
00:10:22Are you playing hide and seek?
00:10:23Is that where you were laying?
00:10:24Can I hide next?
00:10:25No, I was dropping my mom off at the hospital.
00:10:28Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:10:30Wait, oh my god, is she okay?
00:10:32Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:10:33She's just getting some tests done.
00:10:35Oh, thank goodness.
00:10:37Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:10:39Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:10:41Are you going to apply?
00:10:42I'm good where I am, but all the girls are applying.
00:10:45Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:10:47You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:10:49I think this position is yours.
00:11:00He's gorgeous.
00:11:02I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:11:06Attention, everyone.
00:11:08My name is Blaine, and I am the new CEO.
00:11:12I will try my best to live up to my father,
00:11:15but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:11:19And since he is adjusting to this new role,
00:11:22I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:11:25Not me, not me, not me.
00:11:27Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:11:36All right, everyone, back to work.
00:11:44You look exactly like...
00:11:48Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:54Kurt described.
00:11:56Clean, organized desk, confident composure.
00:12:01There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:12:03This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:12:06When do I start?
00:12:08Perfect.
00:12:09First thing I need help with is this file.
00:12:12Oh, got to take a phone call.
00:12:15Send it to me in an e-mail.
00:12:19Ariel, he wants to meet you again.
00:12:22Really?
00:12:24Also, I got you a second number.
00:12:26Just click the link to connect it,
00:12:28so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:12:31Great.
00:12:38New number, huh?
00:12:42Hello?
00:12:44Hello, Ariel? This is Dr. Westphal.
00:12:46We just got your mother's results.
00:12:52It's not what we hoped.
00:12:54So we need to move quickly if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:12:58Okay, I understand.
00:13:00I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:13:14Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:16I just finished dinner.
00:13:18Mom, you should be in bed.
00:13:20Honey, I'm fine.
00:13:21Besides, you've been working all day.
00:13:23You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:13:25Mom, please.
00:13:26Honey, sit down.
00:13:37The doctor called?
00:13:39He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:41Hush, hush, hush.
00:13:43None of that talk, okay?
00:13:45Mom.
00:13:47Eat before your food gets cold.
00:13:56I'll be right back.
00:14:04It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:06Are you ready?
00:14:08Yeah.
00:14:12Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:14I'll make it to go.
00:14:26Oh, where am I?
00:14:32Valentina!
00:14:34Blaine!
00:14:36Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:14:39Do you intend to have me killed?
00:14:41No, not at all.
00:14:43This place is special.
00:14:45Follow me.
00:14:56Hi, Laura.
00:14:58We're almost there.
00:15:00Come on.
00:15:16Wow.
00:15:19Wow.
00:15:29Would you look at that view?
00:15:33I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:15:35Just you, actually.
00:15:37I discovered this place after my father died.
00:15:41Your family died?
00:15:43Yeah.
00:15:46I've been thrown into the CEO position,
00:15:49and I'm a bit in over my head,
00:15:52so I never really get a chance to myself,
00:15:55except when I come here.
00:15:59I'm so sorry.
00:16:06My mom is sick.
00:16:11She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:16So I know how it feels to want to get away.
00:16:21Yeah.
00:16:24I'm used to getting everything,
00:16:26but this is one thing that money can't buy.
00:16:31I'm so sorry about your mom.
00:16:33Thanks.
00:16:36She's all I've got.
00:16:39I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:16:46Hey, who's out here?
00:16:51What's happening?
00:16:53Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:16:55What?
00:16:56Run.
00:17:05Hey!
00:17:08Still.
00:17:11Still.
00:17:17What was that?
00:17:19That was fun.
00:17:20Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:17:23No, I suppose not.
00:17:27I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:17:31I feel like I can be myself around you.
00:17:35I feel the same way.
00:17:38Will you be my girlfriend, Valentina?
00:17:40That's right. I'm supposed to be Valentina.
00:17:43I can't do this to him.
00:17:48But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.
00:17:52I'd love to.
00:17:57Well, well, well.
00:18:00Martina, what are you doing here?
00:18:03I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:18:07Had to see it for myself.
00:18:09Well, that blind date went so well the other night,
00:18:12it got me thinking maybe Grandfather was right.
00:18:15Is that so?
00:18:17Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:18:19That's right.
00:18:21Wow. What's she like?
00:18:23She's funny, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable.
00:18:29She's the whole package.
00:18:31Sounds like one that Dad actually would have approved of.
00:18:34I'd love to meet her.
00:18:37Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington. Is this a bad time?
00:18:40No, not at all. My sister just came to visit.
00:18:43Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:18:46Martina, nice to meet you.
00:18:48Likewise.
00:18:49Glad to see my brother has someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:18:53Don't you worry. I got this.
00:18:55Well, after you lost the keys to the Maserati,
00:18:57I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new AI tech that we need.
00:19:00I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati, and don't you worry.
00:19:03I've got the codes right here on this drive, and I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:22Glad to hear you're doing that. I have wasted enough time.
00:19:27Now you know exactly where it is.
00:19:30Get it?
00:19:39All right, where's that drive?
00:19:47Are you kidding? There's nothing in here.
00:20:00This girl is different.
00:20:02They're coming in. Crap!
00:20:05How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:20:08Oh, man.
00:20:09You don't twist my arm.
00:20:11You don't twist my arm.
00:20:13No, no, no.
00:20:20Oh, yeah.
00:20:25Sarah?
00:20:26Cheers.
00:20:27Do you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:32Right.
00:20:33Right. After then.
00:20:34Yeah.
00:20:43Phew. That was close.
00:20:50Hey, girlfriend!
00:20:51Can I ask your advice on something?
00:20:53Sure. What's going on?
00:20:55So, I have this friend who is having boy problems.
00:20:58Aren't we all?
00:20:59So, she has a crush on her boss, and she doesn't know what to do about it because of the whole workplace relationship thing.
00:21:05How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:21:08Wait, I don't like Blaine.
00:21:09But he deserves to know, though, right?
00:21:11You're gonna tell him?
00:21:12I mean, I don't know, because what if I tell Kurt I like him, and he doesn't like me, and then it's so totally awkward, and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.
00:21:21Wait, you like Kurt?
00:21:23I gotta go. What? Ring, ring. Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:21:29Ring, ring. Ring, ring. Ring, ring.
00:21:35Ariel.
00:21:37Yes, Mr. Ellington?
00:21:38I need your personal help.
00:21:40Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:21:43Okay.
00:21:53I've never gotten a girl a gift.
00:21:55Wow, really?
00:21:57Um, I mean, yeah. First girlfriend, first gift. Checks out.
00:22:03So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:13Oh my god, I'm gonna be wearing that?
00:22:21Sorry?
00:22:22Uh, your girlfriend's gonna be wearing that?
00:22:25Yeah. It's pretty nice, right? Well, I mean, it's option one.
00:22:31Do you think she'll like it?
00:22:33Um, well, what's your girlfriend like? What are her tastes?
00:22:39Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous. The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.
00:22:50I see.
00:22:53So, keep that in mind. Option two.
00:23:00And that's even more revealing than the first one.
00:23:03Yeah. This is big in Europe. Between you and me, I'm rooting for this guy.
00:23:08Mm-hmm. I see. Do you have anything more... modest?
00:23:15Hm. Modest?
00:23:17Yeah, that seems to be the style I've been seeing these days. With the rich folk, at least.
00:23:25You know, now that you say it, I think I do have something.
00:23:30Aha!
00:23:34What do you think?
00:23:36I think she'd really like that.
00:23:44Can I have a margarita?
00:23:47You can't be serious, darling.
00:23:50She'll have a French 75 with cognac.
00:23:53Flora, what are you doing here?
00:23:55Making sure that you're okay.
00:23:56Flora, what are you doing here?
00:23:58Making sure you look the part. You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?
00:24:03Yes, more than anything.
00:24:05Then you need to keep your eyes on the prize. We need to get our hands on that code fast.
00:24:11Once I do, I can fund your mother's surgery. But until then, we're in this together. Yes?
00:24:18Yeah.
00:24:20Excellent. Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:23Make him even more vulnerable, and get him to tell me where the code is.
00:24:28And how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:24:33Be nice?
00:24:37Your ignorance is both cute and annoying.
00:24:41No. A man like Blaine Ellington is going to become vulnerable from two things.
00:24:48Drinking with him, and going to bed with him.
00:24:54Right.
00:24:56I can do that.
00:24:58I hope so, because he's coming this way.
00:25:03Get the code soon, honey. For your mother.
00:25:08Okay.
00:25:10Oh, and darling, have fun.
00:25:19Valentina.
00:25:21How are you?
00:25:23Wonderful, love. I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:25:27Is that so?
00:25:29Indeed. I was so distracted. It affected my croquet score.
00:25:35Oh, no. Distracted over little old me?
00:25:37Yes. I simply must know everything about you.
00:25:41Well, what would you like to know?
00:25:44Everything.
00:25:45Well, I don't know about everything.
00:25:48It might take some time for me to open up.
00:25:51Well, maybe after a few drinks?
00:25:54Only if you can keep up.
00:25:56See, I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking.
00:26:00Oh, no. Well, here goes nothing.
00:26:12That's really good.
00:26:15That's not bad.
00:26:23You know, my sister was implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is, because I forget stuff.
00:26:33Are you forgetful?
00:26:36I mean, yeah. Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:26:42What? Really?
00:26:43Yeah. It cost me $10,000 just to get them rekeyed.
00:26:49Which is why I should probably tell someone in case I do forget.
00:26:56So, maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome and trustworthy?
00:27:01Well, if you'd like, go ahead.
00:27:04I'll tell you. But first...
00:27:10I'm going to hit the men's room.
00:27:14This is it. All I need to do is ask him where the code is, and my mission is over.
00:27:20Nothing can stop me now.
00:27:22Ariel?
00:27:24Except my ex-boyfriend!
00:27:29I don't know what you're talking about, darling. I don't know this Ariel.
00:27:35No, no, no, no, no. You are definitely Ariel.
00:27:39But what are you doing in a place like this? You're poor.
00:27:44Fine. Please just leave, Max.
00:27:47It's Maximilian now. Because I'm Max, and I make millions.
00:27:52Whatever. Please. I'm begging you.
00:27:55Look at you. You look so much better. You look... what's that word? Rich?
00:28:03Please.
00:28:05I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately, but I've become very rich.
00:28:11Yes. You've sent me 50 messages about it. I had to block your number.
00:28:15Oh. Yeah, that's right.
00:28:17Please, I'll do whatever you want, okay? I just...
00:28:20How about a kiss for old time's sake?
00:28:24You know, Ariel, sometimes I reminisce on our poor days together.
00:28:29This isn't happening.
00:28:30Do you not remember when we'd go and get taco Tuesday at that Mexican restaurant and eat unlimited discount tacos?
00:28:39How embarrassing.
00:28:41Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:43Yes, he does.
00:28:45A situation shipped the best.
00:28:47Let go, Max.
00:28:49Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher. Get off her.
00:28:55Blaine Ellington?
00:28:57Max Fletcher.
00:28:58Maximilian?
00:29:00What are you doing with that peasant?
00:29:02That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
00:29:04Blaine Ellington.
00:29:06Getting my sloppy seconds.
00:29:21This isn't over.
00:29:26Come on, Regina.
00:29:29Just stay away from my man, skank.
00:29:33He's actually trying to.
00:29:37Are you okay?
00:29:39Yeah, I think so.
00:29:41We gotta get out of here.
00:29:43This isn't good.
00:29:52Care to explain this?
00:29:54I assume the article does a good job.
00:29:56Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?
00:30:02What are you, a child?
00:30:04I'm not a child.
00:30:06But he started it.
00:30:08I don't care who started it.
00:30:10Ellington is a company based in family values.
00:30:14I was out with my girlfriend trying to uphold those family values.
00:30:19No, no, no. Don't play the girlfriend card.
00:30:22The onus is you on this, pal.
00:30:24Maybe your sister was right.
00:30:27Maybe you're too much of a risk, even though you say you've settled down.
00:30:31Either way, I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.
00:30:37What would your father think?
00:30:54Hmm.
00:30:57Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
00:31:01What is that? Some family motto I'm not aware of?
00:31:04It's Shakespeare, you idiot.
00:31:06What are you doing here? You don't want any of this.
00:31:10You don't know what I want.
00:31:12Uh, booze and bimbos?
00:31:15Or does page one of the paper say something different?
00:31:18She's not a bimbo.
00:31:21Then don't treat her like one.
00:31:23Treat her like dad treated mom.
00:31:29How do you mean?
00:31:32Bring her completely into your life.
00:31:35Let her know everything about you.
00:31:38I'm trying to. Just last night we were sharing everything with each other.
00:31:42Okay, share more.
00:31:44Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:31:47I will.
00:31:49I'm going to get close to this woman.
00:31:51You'll see.
00:31:53And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one stem.
00:31:58Shakespeare?
00:32:00Yeah.
00:32:02Ow.
00:32:12Martina, how are you?
00:32:15How am I?
00:32:17Yeah, how are you?
00:32:19I am annoyed. Time is running out, understand?
00:32:21Mm-hmm.
00:32:23We chose you because we thought you could get the job done.
00:32:25But now I'm not so sure.
00:32:28Wait.
00:32:30Oh my god, do you have feelings for him?
00:32:33What? No.
00:32:35I hope not. Because you have four days to get that code.
00:32:38Or you can say bye to mommy.
00:32:41Other than that...
00:32:43I am fine. Thanks for asking.
00:32:52Happy hump day, bestie!
00:32:55It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:32:57Oh, right.
00:32:59Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:33:01Better.
00:33:03And worse.
00:33:05That sounds super complicated.
00:33:07You have no idea.
00:33:09Hey, are you...
00:33:11Can you come in here?
00:33:13I'll be right there.
00:33:15Good thing you've got work to distract you.
00:33:17Good thing.
00:33:18Good thing.
00:33:25You have the file for the new China branch?
00:33:28Yeah.
00:33:36Long night?
00:33:40You know what?
00:33:42Let's forget about the file.
00:33:48Okay.
00:33:54Let's just close our eyes for...
00:33:57ten minutes.
00:34:06That's an order.
00:34:08Okay.
00:34:16This is nice.
00:34:18Yeah.
00:34:20This should be like...
00:34:22an everyday thing.
00:34:28Good morning! Another beautiful day in Ellington.
00:34:31Let's get it!
00:34:33Oh, Hannah!
00:34:38Well...
00:34:40I guess that's over.
00:34:44Well, everything should be there.
00:34:48I can't even concentrate on work right now.
00:34:51Oh? Why?
00:34:53Well, I don't know if you heard, but...
00:34:58Oh, my.
00:35:00That's quite a scene.
00:35:02Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:35:04I can imagine.
00:35:06Yeah, I just...
00:35:08I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.
00:35:13You should just talk to her.
00:35:15And be honest.
00:35:16Yeah.
00:35:18I'm gonna call her.
00:35:20What?
00:35:22Yeah, can you be in the room when I do it?
00:35:25Uh, you want me in the room?
00:35:28Yeah, maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.
00:35:32Tell me if she sounds upset.
00:35:35Um...
00:35:37I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:35:39She makes me so nervous.
00:35:41I'm sure you make her nervous, too.
00:35:44Shit, shit, shit!
00:35:47Oh!
00:35:49Think, Ariel, think!
00:35:51Uh, I'm gonna be sick.
00:35:53Bathroom!
00:36:00Hello, darling.
00:36:02Hey, Valentina.
00:36:04How are you?
00:36:06Thriving, my dear.
00:36:08How are you feeling?
00:36:10A little banged up, but I've been worse.
00:36:13You should have been with me in my partying days in Ibiza.
00:36:16I was an absolute heathen.
00:36:24Well, I'm glad to hear you're feeling all right.
00:36:27Uh, I was worried.
00:36:31No need, darling.
00:36:33I'm actually at the spa right now.
00:36:36I wanted to know if I get to see you again.
00:36:41You will.
00:36:43Very soon.
00:36:47Uh...
00:36:49Sorry.
00:36:51Can I help you?
00:36:53I couldn't hear you.
00:36:55It kind of sounded like...
00:36:57Sorry, Eduardo is calling me for my hot stone massage.
00:37:02Must be going.
00:37:04Okay, sure.
00:37:06See you.
00:37:08Ta-ta!
00:37:13Community theater.
00:37:14Mm.
00:37:16Character.
00:37:18I'm rehearsing.
00:37:20Murder mystery.
00:37:22I'll, uh, send you the dates.
00:37:25I'm not in the theater.
00:37:28That's fair.
00:37:45Mom, I'm home!
00:37:47Hi, honey, how was your day?
00:37:51It was... not boring.
00:37:54How was yours?
00:37:56It was wonderful.
00:37:58I did laundry, watched some soaps.
00:38:02Mom, what are you cooking?
00:38:04I told you I was gonna cook tonight.
00:38:06Well, you weren't home yet, and I wanted to go ahead and get started so your co-worker could have some, too.
00:38:11My co-worker?
00:38:13Hello, darling.
00:38:21Flora!
00:38:23What are you doing here?
00:38:25I was going to call you about a few work questions, but I was, uh, in the neighborhood.
00:38:31And thought I'd drop in.
00:38:33Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion.
00:38:37You didn't say anything about a job promotion.
00:38:39I guess it slipped my mind.
00:38:42Well, you two don't mind me.
00:38:44Go ahead and have your work talk.
00:38:46Dinner will be ready soon.
00:38:58What are you doing here?
00:39:00Checking in to see what progress was made last night.
00:39:03I, um, I got close to finding out where he hid the drive, but I...
00:39:08But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:39:10I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:39:13Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:39:17You're not getting attached.
00:39:20What? No. Of course not.
00:39:22Good. I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:39:28Dinner's ready.
00:39:30Deeply sorry, darling. Urgent business. Must be taking off.
00:39:35Oh, um, okay, well, it was nice meeting you.
00:39:37You too, darling.
00:39:43Tick-tock.
00:39:56All right, I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal.
00:40:01Any ideas?
00:40:03Inner rehab.
00:40:04Inner rehab.
00:40:06Too tacky.
00:40:08Go volunteer in a third world country?
00:40:11Too obvious.
00:40:13Record an apology video for social media and post it there.
00:40:16Too cringe.
00:40:21Adopt an orphan.
00:40:23Now that is something.
00:40:25Ariel, how good are you at raising kids?
00:40:27Um, let's think of other options.
00:40:31What about a charity ball?
00:40:32Yes! That's it! That's the one!
00:40:35I like that. I like it a lot.
00:40:38Isn't she good?
00:40:40Phenomenal.
00:40:42Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant, so really, this kind of all comes back to...
00:40:47Got it. Wait, what charity would it be for?
00:40:51How about unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:40:54I'd love that. Let's get it rolling.
00:40:57I'll start right away.
00:40:58Ariel, you've become an integral part of our company, and I want to have you seated at our VIP table.
00:41:05Oh my gosh, thank you. I'm honored.
00:41:08Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend Valentina, and you.
00:41:13Good job, Ariel.
00:41:19Let's see how it looks. Come out.
00:41:25It fits perfectly, darling.
00:41:26It fits perfectly, darling.
00:41:30Wow. Stunning.
00:41:36Next I'll have to get you a dress.
00:41:38A dress? What's the occasion?
00:41:42Well, I'm hosting this charity ball, and I would love for you to be my date.
00:41:48I love a good ball.
00:41:51But I must check my schedule, darling.
00:41:53Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?
00:41:57My new AI tech. It's going to revolutionize the world.
00:42:02Ah, yes.
00:42:04We got interrupted. You were going to tell me something important.
00:42:09What were you going to say?
00:42:11It's not really that necessary.
00:42:15You don't trust me?
00:42:16You don't trust me?
00:42:18I do. This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO, and I just want it to go well.
00:42:26But I thought I was special.
00:42:29You are. I just...
00:42:31Well, you know, if you don't trust me...
00:42:35Wait.
00:42:40So you do trust me?
00:42:42Mm-hmm.
00:42:46It's okay.
00:42:52So Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?
00:42:57Mm-hmm.
00:43:00Where is it?
00:43:02It's here. In the mansion.
00:43:07It's here?
00:43:14Mm-hmm.
00:43:17Where in the mansion?
00:43:20It's...
00:43:26Yeah.
00:43:29Now?
00:43:33Okay. I'll be there.
00:43:38No, no, no.
00:43:39I'll be there.
00:43:42No, no, no.
00:43:46Where are you going, darling?
00:43:48They need me to be on this call with China, so I have to leave.
00:43:53You have to leave right now, darling?
00:43:56Yeah. Now.
00:43:58I'm sorry.
00:44:00We'll pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:44:03Yeah.
00:44:06Martina was right about you.
00:44:09I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:40Did you get it?
00:44:43The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:44:46Excellent, darling. Excellent.
00:45:10Max, what are you doing here?
00:45:13What the hell are you doing here, Ariel?
00:45:15Or should I say, Valentina Kingsley?
00:45:19You wouldn't understand.
00:45:21Oh, I understand.
00:45:23You're acting like somebody else to take advantage of your rich boss, hmm?
00:45:27No, I'm not. I...
00:45:29You know I have the responsibility to tell your little hotshot boyfriend who you really are.
00:45:35It's only the right thing to do.
00:45:37Only the right thing to do.
00:45:40Please don't. You don't know what I'm doing.
00:45:42Oh, you'll lose your job? Your reputation?
00:45:46Oh, once word gets out, nobody will want you?
00:45:50What do you want, Max?
00:45:52I just want a little, an arrangement.
00:45:56I'd rather not.
00:45:58Ariel, you really do not want to make me angry.
00:46:02Did you just come here to hurt me?
00:46:04Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to hurt you.
00:46:07I want to destroy you.
00:46:10You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.
00:46:16If by tomorrow, I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town...
00:46:23I'll do it for you.
00:46:35You seem extra happy today.
00:46:38I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole nother level last night.
00:46:43Wow, that's awesome, man. I'm so happy for you.
00:46:47Hi, Mr. Linkton. Hi, Kurt.
00:46:49Hi, Anna.
00:46:51Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:46:54Kurt?
00:46:56Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:46:58Hi, Ariel. Are you all right?
00:47:01Yeah, I'm all right.
00:47:03Um, I actually had an idea about the charity ball.
00:47:08While we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability,
00:47:13I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:16Where?
00:47:18I was thinking your house.
00:47:21What?
00:47:23Uh, I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:47:28Well, if we hosted ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:47:34And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:47:37Yeah, that makes sense.
00:47:40Okay, let's do it.
00:47:42Great. I'll send out the invitations.
00:47:45Okay.
00:47:46That makes sense.
00:47:48Okay, let's do it.
00:47:50Great. I'll send out the invitations.
00:47:56She really knows this company inside and out.
00:47:59What do you know about Ariel?
00:48:02What do you want to know?
00:48:17Here you go, Mom.
00:48:19I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie.
00:48:22I'm just so sleepy.
00:48:24That's okay. We can watch it next weekend.
00:48:27Sweetie, you should be going out with your friends on a Saturday night.
00:48:31Mom, you are my friend.
00:48:33People your age, who you can be out dancing with, flirting with boys.
00:48:40I actually kind of have met this one boy.
00:48:43What? What's he like?
00:48:46He's complicated.
00:48:48Honey, you just need to follow your heart.
00:48:51Yeah, he's kind of sweet.
00:49:01Sweetie, I'm fine. I just need some rest.
00:49:17And then after your speech, we're going to dance the night away.
00:49:21I'm dreading giving this speech.
00:49:24I guess I'll just picture everyone wearing their underwear and I'll be fine, right?
00:49:28I always thought that was a little pervy, but...
00:49:32I promise, you're going to be amazing.
00:49:36Thank you so much for helping me.
00:49:40You're welcome.
00:49:41You're going to be amazing.
00:49:43Thank you so much for helping with this.
00:49:47This charity ball idea was genius.
00:49:50I need to make it up to you at some point.
00:49:53I was just doing my job, Mr. Ellington.
00:49:58Well, I should get going.
00:50:00Wait, I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:50:04Make sure the dress fits.
00:50:07I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:50:09Alright. Good night.
00:50:23Hello, darling.
00:50:25I just wanted to make sure the dress fit.
00:50:28It's perfect.
00:50:30I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
00:50:33I can't wait either, darling.
00:50:35Good night.
00:50:39Good night.
00:50:57Ariel, this place looks amazing.
00:51:00Thanks, Kurt.
00:51:02You're looking sharp.
00:51:04Oh, yeah. Well, got a dress to impress, you know.
00:51:06Are you trying to impress anyone?
00:51:09Nah.
00:51:11Listen, Random.
00:51:13Does Hannah have a boyfriend?
00:51:16I don't think so.
00:51:19Do you like her?
00:51:21No. No. No. No.
00:51:24No, I'm just trying to make a friendly conversation.
00:51:28Yeah.
00:51:30We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:51:34Oh!
00:51:36You're still here.
00:51:38Yeah. Listen.
00:51:40If someone were to ask Hannah to dance,
00:51:46what do you think the chances are that she would say yes?
00:51:50Probably good.
00:51:52Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:51:55No. No. No. No. No. No.
00:51:57No, I'm just a fan of wild, hypothetical scenarios.
00:52:03That one just sprung to mind.
00:52:04Mm-hmm. Okay.
00:52:07Yep.
00:52:09Um, well, I'm going to go
00:52:15help Blaine practice his speech.
00:52:18So I'm going to do that right now.
00:52:22I will see you later.
00:52:24All right. See ya.
00:52:26And you must be Ariel.
00:52:31Yes. Hi.
00:52:34Hmm. You know, my grandson has spoken very fondly of you.
00:52:39He has?
00:52:41Oh, yes. Yes. In fact, he says that, well, this whole thing
00:52:44was your help in Blaine's situation.
00:52:47Wow. That's such an honor.
00:52:49I heard he was a great man.
00:52:51He was a great man.
00:52:53Martina.
00:52:55Have you had the pleasure of meeting Blaine's assistant, Ariel?
00:52:59Yes, briefly.
00:53:01She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO.
00:53:04She has. In fact, I can see her
00:53:08playing a bigger role at Ellington if she keeps it up.
00:53:11Why wait? She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:15Really?
00:53:17I think so. Don't you, Ariel?
00:53:19Uh, uh-huh.
00:53:21Amazing.
00:53:23Well, I can't wait.
00:53:29Me either.
00:53:34Ah.
00:54:05Ariel.
00:54:07Blaine.
00:54:09There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:54:11Here I am.
00:54:13Have you seen Valentina?
00:54:15No, I don't think so.
00:54:17About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:54:21Um, no. No, I don't think so.
00:54:24In fact...
00:54:26What?
00:54:28Nothing. It's ridiculous.
00:54:30I better say hi to those guests.
00:54:32But if you could find her for me, that would be great.
00:54:36I'll get right on that.
00:54:38Thank you. Bye.
00:54:47Just go out there and hype Blaine up
00:54:50so he can deliver his speech.
00:54:52Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:54:54Okay.
00:54:56You can do this.
00:54:59Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:55:01Uh, you must be mistaken, love.
00:55:04I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:55:07Yeah, okay. Ariel.
00:55:11No, seriously.
00:55:13My name is Valentina Kingsley, and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:55:17Oh, I get it.
00:55:19It's like one of those improv games or something.
00:55:22No, no, no. No game.
00:55:24My name is...
00:55:26Who else should I be?
00:55:27Just be yourself.
00:55:29I'm the Queen of England.
00:55:33You can really tell it's me?
00:55:35Yeah, but...
00:55:37I mean, I can be very observant.
00:55:40Really?
00:55:42Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:55:46Okay. Can I ask why?
00:55:49Well, it's really complicated.
00:55:52But you have to promise me you won't tell anyone.
00:55:54Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:55:58Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:56:01Yeah, sure.
00:56:03Aw, well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:56:10Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna need it.
00:56:25Oh, there you are, darling.
00:56:28Valentina. I'm so glad to see you.
00:56:31Look at this place.
00:56:33I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:56:37I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:56:39Of course.
00:56:41You're doing a speech, I see.
00:56:43Oh, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:56:46They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:56:48Oh, no, no, no.
00:56:50No, no, no.
00:56:51I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:56:53They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:56:55You make me feel so confident.
00:56:58I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:57:07Of course.
00:57:09Okay, perfect.
00:57:11Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside. I must go speak with her.
00:57:14Valentina, I was thinking maybe tonight I could show you the AI code.
00:57:23Yes, I would love to see what you've been working on.
00:57:27Great.
00:57:29Where would this be taking place? In the study, or...?
00:57:32Upstairs. Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:57:36Ah, I see.
00:57:38You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:57:45What the heck did I say?
00:57:47I'll give you a hint.
00:57:49If you were to look for it, you'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
00:57:55I'll let you get back to socializing.
00:57:59Good luck, darling.
00:58:15Excuse me. What are you doing in here?
00:58:22Excuse me. What are you doing in here?
00:58:25Um...
00:58:26And who are you?
00:58:28Oh, um...
00:58:30Uh...
00:58:32Um, I... I, um...
00:58:34You...
00:58:36You...
00:58:38You...
00:58:40You...
00:58:42You...
00:58:44You look lost.
00:58:46I am, darling.
00:58:48I am lost.
00:58:50I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:58:54Grandfather.
00:58:56This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:59:01Oh, yes, yes. From the front page of the Times. Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:59:07I hope it was all good things.
00:59:08Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.
00:59:15And I trust that Blaine is treating you respectfully, like a lady.
00:59:22He is.
00:59:24Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.
00:59:26If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.
00:59:31Right.
00:59:33Good thing.
00:59:35Shall we return to the party?
00:59:36Yes, we shall.
00:59:38Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
00:59:41You too, sir.
00:59:42You too, sir.
01:00:04You seem quiet. Is everything all right?
01:00:08Everything's fine, darling.
01:00:10Hey, Valentina.
01:00:12I have a girl question for you.
01:00:18Oh, my God. For the love of God.
01:00:21You clearly have a crush on Hannah. Just ask her to dance.
01:00:24You just met me. You can already tell?
01:00:26Yes.
01:00:28You read me like a book.
01:00:30I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:00:32You're really inquisitive.
01:00:34In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:00:37Would you? That would be great.
01:00:40Dude.
01:00:43Hannah, I need a favor.
01:00:46Anything.
01:00:48When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
01:00:50If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
01:00:53And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.
01:00:57Got it.
01:00:59Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:01:02Really?
01:01:04Sorry.
01:01:06When?
01:01:08Tonight.
01:01:10Oh, right. It's a ball.
01:01:12Yeah.
01:01:30It's time, brother. You ready?
01:01:32As ready as I'll ever be.
01:01:37Thank you for coming tonight.
01:01:40It means a lot.
01:01:42Of course.
01:01:44You're going to be amazing.
01:01:51Ladies and gentlemen,
01:01:53I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.
01:01:56It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend,
01:02:00your CEO of Ellington Incorporated,
01:02:04Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:02:06Good evening, everyone.
01:02:08I want to, before we get started,
01:02:11thank two people who, without their help,
01:02:14none of this would have happened tonight.
01:02:17My assistant, Ariel, and my girlfriend, Valentina.
01:02:24Not sure where they are right now,
01:02:27but I want to thank them for having my back.
01:02:31Hi, Anna.
01:02:33Oh, hi.
01:02:35You haven't seen Valentina around, have you?
01:02:38I wanted to try to find her so she could watch Blaine's speech.
01:02:41Valentina is sick,
01:02:44and Ariel was helping her get medicine.
01:02:47Oh, okay.
01:02:51You look really pretty.
01:02:54I know, right?
01:02:56You look great.
01:02:57You look really pretty, by the way.
01:03:01Thanks.
01:03:03You look really pretty, too.
01:03:27Alright, time to find this code.
01:03:36Okay.
01:03:48Blaine mentioned something I said?
01:03:51What the heck did I say?
01:03:55Paintings.
01:04:07So, tonight, I'm pledging ten million dollars
01:04:13to help research cures for illnesses and disorders unknown.
01:04:18Thank you all for coming.
01:04:20I hope to see you on the dance floor.
01:04:36Bye.
01:04:44I'm sorry, Mom.
01:04:46I failed you.
01:05:06I'm sorry.
01:05:17I'll give you a hint.
01:05:19If you're to look for it,
01:05:21you're just staring at the most beautiful thing in the world.
01:05:26He wasn't talking about the painting.
01:05:31He was talking about me.
01:05:36Oh.
01:06:06Okay.
01:06:22Okay.
01:06:27Think, Ariel.
01:06:37What could the numbers be?
01:06:39It couldn't be our first date, could it?
01:07:07No!
01:07:11I've got the code.
01:07:13Excellent, darling.
01:07:15I'll give it to you after the ball.
01:07:17Or you could give it to me now.
01:07:20Flora?
01:07:25What are you doing here?
01:07:28I have a way of being places I'm not supposed to be.
01:07:31Just like you, apparently.
01:07:34The code, darling.
01:07:37Okay.
01:07:40The future.
01:07:43In the palm of my hand.
01:07:46I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:07:49Lane's a good man.
01:07:52But you're awful.
01:07:54He's rich, darling. He'll get over it.
01:07:56My mom?
01:07:58And her surgery?
01:08:00I've been accused of many things.
01:08:02But I always keep my word.
01:08:03Now, go and celebrate.
01:08:05You deserve it, darling.
01:08:34Valencina.
01:08:36Hi, darling.
01:08:37There you are.
01:08:39How are you feeling?
01:08:41Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:08:43Excellent.
01:08:45Care to dance?
01:08:47Certainly.
01:08:50Well, well.
01:08:52Well, well.
01:08:55Look at the happy couple.
01:08:56Look at the happy couple.
01:09:02How did you get in?
01:09:04Oh, I have my ways.
01:09:06We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:09:08Anyway.
01:09:12I just came here to congratulate you on your little events.
01:09:16You need to leave.
01:09:18Actually, I don't think I do.
01:09:20Because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is.
01:09:23She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:09:24No, no, no.
01:09:26There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:09:30What?
01:09:32If only your little assistant had assisted you in researching her.
01:09:36You know, it's funny.
01:09:38I haven't actually seen her all night.
01:09:41Blaine, don't listen to him.
01:09:43What is he talking about?
01:09:45Yeah, she may have fooled everyone in here.
01:09:50But an ex-boyfriend never forgets a butt.
01:10:05Ariel?
01:10:20This whole time, you've been Valentina?
01:10:23That's right.
01:10:25This whole time, you pretended to care about me.
01:10:28But you're just a liar.
01:10:31And worse, she's poor.
01:10:34Why?
01:10:36Yes, Ariel.
01:10:38But why?
01:10:40I'm so sorry.
01:10:42Ariel. Ariel, wait.
01:10:45How embarrassing.
01:10:47You know, I looked into you.
01:10:51You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here.
01:10:57How preposterous.
01:10:59If anybody looks into that, it will be a complete waste of time.
01:11:02Ew.
01:11:04You're poor?
01:11:06Regina!
01:11:12You're my hero.
01:11:14Thanks.
01:11:16I just gotta tell her.
01:11:18You know?
01:11:22Ariel!
01:11:32What are you smiling about?
01:11:34I mean, come on.
01:11:36This proves it, right?
01:11:38He's a joke.
01:11:40No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:11:42He's a liability, Richard.
01:11:43And 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.
01:11:49Oh, well, don't bet on that.
01:11:51You know, you've got a lot of nerve talking to me like this, kid.
01:11:56You've got a lot of nerve letting this ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:12:01I should be running this company!
01:12:04Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:08Look, I'm not whore.
01:12:11I don't want to hear it.
01:12:13I do not want to hear it.
01:12:15You lied to me.
01:12:17Not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed me in there.
01:12:19That is fair.
01:12:26Regina!
01:12:37Regina!
01:12:52That was a disaster.
01:12:56I just don't understand.
01:12:58Why would she go through all of that?
01:13:01I don't know.
01:13:03But these scandals are exhausting.
01:13:07Yeah.
01:13:09I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:13:14Right.
01:13:17I got a lot to think about.
01:13:20What do you mean?
01:13:22I mean we may have to take the company in a completely different direction if we're going to gain back the public's trust.
01:13:29You can't be serious.
01:13:31No?
01:13:33Something better happen sooner.
01:13:36It gets much worse.
01:13:39Did she want anything from you?
01:13:42I don't know, Martina.
01:13:44Nothing valuable?
01:13:46Martina, I said I don't...
01:14:02No!
01:14:10No!
01:14:20Ariel, baby.
01:14:23Oh, you look like you had a rough night.
01:14:27It was a disaster, really.
01:14:30I feel awful.
01:14:32I know.
01:14:34I'm so sorry to hear that, baby.
01:14:36Thanks, Mom.
01:14:38Well, I have something to tell you.
01:14:41Dr. Westfall called.
01:14:43Are you okay? What's going on?
01:14:45He said that an anonymous donor sent in the funds for me to have my operation.
01:14:52What?
01:14:54I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.
01:14:56My God!
01:15:00Mom, I'm so happy.
01:15:02I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake.
01:15:05I agree.
01:15:33It's time to celebrate.
01:15:38To the future, darling.
01:15:46Drink.
01:15:48You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:15:54There it is.
01:15:56The chocolate cake.
01:15:58The chocolate cake.
01:16:00There it is.
01:16:03Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:16:06People walk in and out of my office having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:16:12Of course, I won't be able to enjoy it too much longer since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:16:19I guess I just feel bad.
01:16:21To get what you want in life, sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:16:26Break the rules a little.
01:16:29I guess.
01:16:31Ask any CEO and they'll agree, including your little boy toy.
01:16:37Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:16:40Well, anyway, speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:16:46What?
01:16:48All I need is your wiring info and I can send it on over.
01:16:51I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed?
01:16:55I'm sorry, you haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:16:59No, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:17:05Darlene?
01:17:26Alright, one more drink and we'll start packing up my things.
01:17:32Deal, one more.
01:17:38Anna.
01:17:39Hi, Mr. Ellington. May I come in?
01:17:41Sure, come on in.
01:17:43Hi, cutie.
01:17:48Care for a drink?
01:17:49Oh, no. I stopped drinking already.
01:17:52Care for a drink?
01:17:53Oh, no. I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:17:56Wait, what was that?
01:17:57Mr. Ellington, I have a delivery for you.
01:18:00From who?
01:18:01Ariel.
01:18:07From who?
01:18:08Ariel.
01:18:10I don't want it. Take it back.
01:18:12She said you might say that, but she said that it was very, very important.
01:18:17How important?
01:18:18I 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.
01:18:40Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
01:18:43Ew! What's happening?
01:18:45What's going on? What is this?
01:18:46What's happening?
01:18:47What's going on? What does this mean?
01:19:07Oh, Flora.
01:19:08Yes, darling.
01:19:09Your appointment had to leave early. I asked if they wanted a schedule, but they said no.
01:19:14I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:19:17What was the name?
01:19:20Valentina Kingsley?
01:19:41You're rich.
01:19:42You'll get over it.
01:19:44Darling.
01:20:00What's going on? What does this mean?
01:20:07Thank you for everything.
01:20:13Hannah, did you want to help me with that thing?
01:20:17Yes, yes. Let's do that.
01:20:24Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:20:32Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this, but it's time.
01:20:42But it's time.
01:20:48But it's time.
01:20:54To celebrate!
01:21:00You are going to regret this. I promise you that.
01:21:07Geez, what did you do?
01:21:09I don't know, girl. But the way she wears that dress, she can step on me any day.
01:21:17See? I knew you could do it. I knew it!
01:21:21You know, your dad would be so proud of you.
01:21:36Dr. Westfall.
01:21:37Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:21:38Is surgery over? How did it go?
01:21:40Yes, we just finished. There were complications.
01:21:43Complications?
01:21:44Yes, but we were able to work through them, and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:21:49Really?
01:21:50Really, yes. In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:21:54She'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.
01:22:00I can't thank you enough.
01:22:02I'm happy to help.
01:22:08I love you.
01:22:10I love you too.
01:22:12I love you too.
01:22:14I love you.
01:22:16I love you.
01:22:18I love you.
01:22:20I love you.
01:22:39Come in, come in.
01:22:42Welcome.
01:22:47Ariel?
01:22:49Mom, why didn't you let me out of bed? The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:22:54I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window, and I got kind of excited.
01:23:01Are you hungry? Thirsty?
01:23:04No, no, no.
01:23:05Are you hungry? Thirsty?
01:23:08No, thank you, but thank you.
01:23:10Oh, thank you. Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:23:13Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:23:17Oh, of course. I'll just be right over here, don't mind me.
01:23:32I'm so, so sorry.
01:23:33I, uh, I understand why you did it.
01:23:38And you gave me the drive back, so there's no need to apologize.
01:23:43Thank you for everything. I don't even know where to start.
01:23:51I'm not looking for an apology.
01:23:54You're not?
01:23:56No. See, I'm still CEO, and I need an assistant.
01:24:00And you're kind of the best in town.
01:24:05I accept.
01:24:07And, uh, still looking for a girlfriend?
01:24:14Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:24:31I love you, Valentina. I mean, Ariel.
01:24:36And that's gonna take some getting used to.
01:24:40There aren't any starry rooftop views here, but this is my special place.
01:24:47It's even better.
01:24:48It's even better.
