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