00:00:00Hey, this is Richard Ellington, 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.
00:00:31Let's hope this one's different.
00:00:35I don't even know what to say to this guy.
00:00:38I don't know how to talk to rich people.
00:00:41Be sexy.
00:00:42Darling, just act better than everyone else in the room.
00:00:46And being sexy is easy.
00:00:48Bite your lip, push up the girls.
00:00:51It works every time.
00:00:52Wait, what girls?
00:00:54And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily.
00:00:58So 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, the sooner I pay you for your
00:01:08mother's surgery.
00:01:09It's your call.
00:01:24Are you going to stare at me all night or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:01:44Of course.
00:01:46Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you.
00:01:52You're so...
00:01:53Rich?
00:01:54Sexy?
00:01:55Frankly, yes.
00:01:56Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:01Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:02And you are?
00:02:03Blaine Ellington.

00:03:53What's my manager doing here?
00:03:56Blythe
00:03:59My business dinner just ended
00:04:01The presentation for the dirigmental branch
00:04:02Looking good
00:04:03Amazing
00:04:04You're the best, Kurt
00:04:05Well I just, won't keep you two
00:04:07Just wanted to say hi
00:04:08Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:10Ended 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.
00:04:30Would you like to come to my place?
00:04:32I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:04:34Absolutely, darling.
00:04:38Whoa.
00:04:46Welcome to my home.
00:04:48After you.
00:05:04Oh, my.
00:05:08Kiss.
00:05:14Do you like what you see?
00:05:18You're getting there, darling.
00:05:20Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:22Well, then.
00:05:24Shall we get started?
00:05:28Um, not so fast.
00:05:32Okay, a little foreplay?
00:05:34I did not think this through at all.
00:05:36How am I supposed to find the drive
00:05:38when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:05:44Looking for something?
00:05:46Oh, um...
00:05:50Ah.
00:05:52I should have known that was your style.
00:05:54Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:58Ugh, 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.
00:06:06Valentina?
00:06:08Patience, darling.
00:06:10I'm building the suspense.
00:06:12Ah, I see.
00:06:14Where could it be?
00:06:16Right.
00:06:18And you say guys actually like this?
00:06:20Oh, yes.
00:06:22It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:06:28How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:30How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:36That's...
00:06:38That's new.
00:06:40The painting!
00:06:42Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:06:44Oh, uh...
00:06:46Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:06:48It looks exactly like
00:06:50the one in my mansion
00:06:52in Sweden.
00:06:54It's where I keep my safe.
00:06:56Huh.
00:06:58Did you know I had things behind paintings?
00:07:00Thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:02Uh, no.
00:07:04It's quite popular.
00:07:06Where do you hide your
00:07:08luxurious safe keepings?
00:07:10In a super,
00:07:12super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:14Ugh, come on.
00:07:18Now, why don't you come over here
00:07:20and get this thing started?
00:07:22Oh, uh, most unfortunate,
00:07:24I'm getting the utmost
00:07:26important business call, and I must take it.
00:07:28Right now?
00:07:30What? What about me?
00:07:32Valentina!
00:07:36Wait!
00:07:38Untie me!
00:07:44Ew.
00:07:46Really, Blaine?
00:07:48What?
00:07:50You and your models.
00:07:52Last night was not a model.
00:07:54I was actually impressed.
00:07:56Did I hear right?
00:07:58Blaine actually had a date
00:08:00he liked?
00:08:02It was fantastic.
00:08:04The other girls are so boring.
00:08:06But this one, she's a mystery
00:08:08I can't quite crack.
00:08:10I must see her again.
00:08:12Blaine, these dates aren't about you having
00:08:14sexy adventures.
00:08:16It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with
00:08:18and running the company.
00:08:21Grandfather.
00:08:23Listen to him.
00:08:25He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:08:27I am much more qualified.
00:08:30I'm done having this conversation
00:08:32with you, dear.
00:08:34No, no, no, no.
00:08:36Look, 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.
00:08:50I have actual
00:08:52work to attend to.
00:08:56Yeah, yeah.
00:08:58Thanks.
00:09:04Hello?
00:09:06How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:10To perfection.
00:09:12Charity has Blaine wrapped around
00:09:14her finger. It won't be long until
00:09:16he flips up and I can step in
00:09:18and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:22Brilliant. It's all coming together
00:09:24perfectly.
00:09:26And the VR tech you're developing.
00:09:28It'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?
00:09:30Oh, yes. It'll be ready.
00:09:32Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:09:47What's he doing here?
00:09:49Speaking of girls, I think I know who would be perfect
00:09:51as your new assistant.
00:09:53Sorry.
00:09:55I'm fine.
00:09:57Ariel.
00:09:59How does he know my name?
00:10:01You dropped your badge.
00:10:08There you go.
00:10:10Thanks.
00:10:17She's amazing.
00:10:21Are you playing hide and seek?
00:10:23Is that where you were laying?
00:10:25Can I hide next?
00:10:27No, I was dropping your mom off at the hospital.
00:10:29Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:10:31Wait, oh my god, is she okay?
00:10:33Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:10:35She's just getting some tests done.
00:10:37Oh, thank goodness.
00:10:39Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:10:41Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:10:43Are you going to apply?
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.
00:11:35All right, everyone, back to work.
00:11:43You look exactly like...
00:11:47Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:53Kurt described.
00:11:55Clean, organized desk, confident 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.
00:12:09First thing I need help with
00:12:11is there's this fire.
00:12:13Oh, um, gotta 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.
00:12:37Hmm, new 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
00:12:56if 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.
00:13:12Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:14I just finished dinner.
00:13:16Mom, you should be in bed.
00:13:18Honey, I'm fine.
00:13:20Besides, you've been working all day.
00:13:22You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:13:24Mom, please.
00:13:26Honey, sit down.
00:13:36The doctor called.
00:13:38He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:40Hush, hush, hush.
00:13:42None of that talk, okay?
00:13:44Mom.
00:13:46Eat before your food gets cold.
00:13:55I'll be right back.
00:14:03It'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.
00:14:31Oh, where am I?
00:14:34Valentina!
00:14:36Blaine!
00:14:38Darling,
00:14:40what is this dreadful place?
00:14:42Do you intend to have me killed?
00:14:44No, not at all.
00:14:46This place is special.
00:14:48Follow me.
00:14:51Whoa.
00:15:02Hurry, Laura.
00:15:04We're almost there. Come on.
00:15:21Wow.
00:15:31Would you look at that view?
00:15:35I 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.
00:15:47I've fallen 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.
00:16:17So 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.
00:16:48Hey, who's out here?
00:16:53What's happening?
00:16:55Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:16:57What?
00:16:58Run.
00:17:07Hey.
00:17:10Still.
00:17:18What 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.
00:17:32I 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?
00:18:20That'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. Glad to see my brother as 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,
00:18:58I'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.
00:19:03And don't you worry. I've got the codes right here on this drive.
00:19:08And 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. Get it?
00:19:39All right, where's that drive?
00:19:44Are you kidding? There's nothing in here.
00:19:59They're coming in. Crap!
00:20:02How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:20:05Oh, man.
00:20:06You don't have to twist my arm.
00:20:08You don't have to twist my arm.
00:20:10You don't have to twist my arm.
00:20:13No, no, no.
00:20:20Oh, yeah.
00:20:25Sarah?
00:20:26Cheers.
00:20:27Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:32Right, right, right. After then.
00:20:34Yeah.
00:20:41Phew. That was close.
00:20:48Hey, hey, 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.
00:20:56Aren't we all?
00:20:57So, she has a crush on her boss.
00:20:59And she doesn't know what to do about it because of the whole workplace relationship thing.
00:21:03How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:21:05Wait, I don't like Blaine.
00:21:08Wait, I don't like Blaine.
00:21:10But he deserves to know though, right?
00:21:12You're gonna tell him?
00:21:13I mean, I don't know.
00:21:14Because 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.
00:21:21Wait, you like Kurt?
00:21:24I gotta go. What?
00:21:26Ring, ring.
00:21:27Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:21:30Ring, ring.
00:21:31Ring, ring.
00:21:32Ring, ring.
00:21:33Ring, ring.
00:21:35Ariel.
00:21:37Yes, Mr. Ellington?
00:21:38I need your personal help.
00:21:40Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:21:52I've never gotten a girl a gift.
00:21:54Wow, really?
00:21:56Um, I mean, yeah.
00:21:58First girlfriend, first gift.
00:22:00Checks out.
00:22:01So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:17Oh my God, I'm gonna be wearing that?
00:22:20Sorry?
00:22:21Uh, your girlfriend's gonna be wearing that?
00:22:24Yeah.
00:22:25It's pretty nice, right?
00:22:27Well, I mean, it's option one.
00:22:29You think she'll like it?
00:22:31Um, well, what's your girlfriend like?
00:22:35What are her tastes?
00:22:38Um, sophisticated, generous, gorgeous.
00:22:43The whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room.
00:22:49I see.
00:22:51So, keep that in mind.
00:22:53Option two.
00:22:55Option two.
00:23:01And that's even more revealing than the first one.
00:23:03Yeah.
00:23:04This is big in Europe.
00:23:06Between you and me, I'm rooting for this guy.
00:23:08Mm-hmm.
00:23:09I see.
00:23:10Do you have anything more modest?
00:23:15Hm, modest?
00:23:17Yeah, that seems to be the style I've been seeing these days.
00:23:22With the rich folk, at least.
00:23:25You know, now that you say it, I think I do have something.
00:23:34Aha!
00:23:37What 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 of cognac.
00:23:56Flora, what are you doing here?
00:23:58Making sure you look the part.
00:24:00You 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.
00:24:08We 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.
00:24:16Yes?
00:24:18Yeah.
00:24:20Excellent.
00:24:22Now, what's your game plan?
00:24:24Make 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.
00:24:48Drinking with him, and going to bed with him.
00:24:53Right.
00:24:55I can do that.
00:24:57I hope so, because he's coming this way.
00:25:02Get the code soon, honey.
00:25:05For your mother.
00:25:07Okay.
00:25:09Oh!
00:25:11And darling, have fun.
00:25:19Valentina.
00:25:22How are you?
00:25:23Wonderful, love.
00:25:25I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:25:27Is that so?
00:25:28Indeed.
00:25:30I was so distracted.
00:25:32It affected my croquet score.
00:25:34Oh, no. Distracted over little old me.
00:25:37Yes.
00:25:38I 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.
00:25:50Well, 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.
00:26:01Well, here goes nothing.
00:26:12That's really good.
00:26:15That's not how it's done.
00:26:18Stop.
00:26:24You know, my sister was implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is because I forget stuff.
00:26:34Are you forgetful?
00:26:36I mean, yeah.
00:26:39Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:26:42What? Really?
00:26:43Yeah.
00:26:45It 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.
00:27:05But first...
00:27:11I'm going to hit the men's room.
00:27:15This is it.
00:27:16All 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.
00:27:31I don't know this Ariel.
00:27:34No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:36You are definitely Ariel.
00:27:40But what are you doing in a place like this?
00:27:42What are you doing in a place like this?
00:27:44You're poor.
00:27:46Fine. Please just leave, Max.
00:27:49It's Maximilian now.
00:27:51Because I'm Max and I make millions.
00:27:54Whatever.
00:27:55Please, I'm begging you.
00:27:56Look at you.
00:27:58You look so much better.
00:28:00You look...
00:28:02What's that word?
00:28:04Rich?
00:28:05Please.
00:28:06I don't know if you've been keeping up with my life lately,
00:28:08but I've become very rich.
00:28:11Yes, you've sent me 50 messages about it.
00:28:13I had to block your number.
00:28:15Oh, yeah, that's right.
00:28:17Please, I'll do whatever you want, okay?
00:28:19I 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
00:28:34at 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.
00:28:44A situation shipped the best.
00:28:47Let go, Max.
00:28:48Nobody walks away from Maximilian Fletcher.
00:28:51Get 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.
00:29:06You're getting my sloppy seconds.
00:29:22This isn't over.
00:29:26Come on, Regina.
00:29:31Just stay away from my man, skank.
00:29:34He's actually trying to.
00:29:38Are 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.
00:29:58Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?
00:30:04What are you, a child?
00:30:05I'm not a child.
00:30:07But he started it.
00:30:08I don't care who started it.
00:30:10Ellington is a company based in family values.
00:30:15I 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.
00:30:25Maybe your sister was right.
00:30:28Maybe you're too much of a risk.
00:30:30Even 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?
00:30:57Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
00:31:01What is that?
00:31:02Some family motto I'm not aware of?
00:31:04It's Shakespeare, you idiot.
00:31:07What are you doing here?
00:31:08You 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.
00:31:24Treat 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.
00:31:37I'm trying to.
00:31:38Just last night, we were sharing everything with each other.
00:31:41Okay, share more.
00:31:43Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:31:47I will.
00:31:48I'm gonna get close to this woman.
00:31:50You'll see.
00:31:52And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one stem.
00:31:57Shakespeare.
00:32:00Yeah?
00:32:01Ow.
00:32:12Martina, how are you?
00:32:15How am I?
00:32:17Yeah, how are you?
00:32:18I am annoyed.
00:32:20Time 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.
00:32:29Oh my god, do you have feelings for him?
00:32:31What?
00:32:32No.
00:32:33I hope not.
00:32:34Because you have four days to get that code.
00:32:37Or you can say bye to mommy.
00:32:40Other than that...
00:32:41I am fine.
00:32:43Thanks for asking.
00:32:55Happy hump day, bestie!
00:32:57Happy hump day, bestie!
00:32:59It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:33:01Oh, right.
00:33:02Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:33:04Better.
00:33:06And worse.
00:33:08That sounds super complicated.
00:33:10You have no idea.
00:33:11Ariel?
00:33:13Can you come in here?
00:33:14I'll be right there.
00:33:15Good thing you've got work to distract you.
00:33:18Good thing.
00:33:20Oh.
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.
00:33:50Oh.
00:33:53Let's just close our eyes for, um, ten minutes.
00:34:05That's an order.
00:34:07Okay.
00:34:15This is nice.
00:34:17Yeah.
00:34:20This should be, like, an everyday thing.
00:34:24Mm-hmm.
00:34:28Good morning!
00:34:29Another beautiful day in Ellington.
00:34:31Let's get it!
00:34:32Woo!
00:34:33Oh, Hannah!
00:34:38Well, I guess that's over.
00:34:43Well, everything should be there.
00:34:46I can't even concentrate on work right now.
00:34:49Oh? Why?
00:34:51Well, I don't know if you heard, but...
00:34:56Oh, my.
00:34:57That's, uh, quite a scene.
00:34:59Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:35:02I can imagine.
00:35:04Yeah, I just...
00:35:05I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.
00:35:11You should just talk to her.
00:35:13You should just talk to her.
00:35:15And be honest.
00:35:16Yeah.
00:35:17I'm gonna call her.
00:35:19What?
00:35:22Yeah, 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.
00:35:32Tell me if she sounds upset.
00:35:35Uh, I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:35:38Oh, gosh, she makes me so nervous.
00:35:41I'm sure you make her nervous, too.
00:35:44Shit, shit, shit.
00:35:45Uh-oh.
00:35:47Uh-oh.
00:35:49Think, Ariel, think.
00:35:51Uh, I'm gonna be sick.
00:35:53Bathroom!
00:36:00Hello, darling.
00:36:02Hey, Valentina.
00:36:05How are you?
00:36:07Thriving, 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'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.
00:37:03Okay, uh, sure. See you.
00:37:06Ta-ta!
00:37:13Community theater.
00:37:16Character. I'm rehearsing.
00:37:20Murder mystery.
00:37:23I'll, uh, send you the dates.
00:37:26I'm not in the theater.
00:37:29That's fair.
00:37:34Mom!
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...
00:38:01Mom, 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.
00:38:21Flora!
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. You 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. Go ahead and have your work talk, then I'll be ready soon.
00:38:55What are you doing here?
00:38:57Checking in to see what progress was made last night.
00:39:00I, um... I got close to finding out where he hid the drive, but I...
00:39:06But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:39:09I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:39:12Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:39:15You're not getting attached.
00:39:18What? No. Of course not.
00:39:20Good. I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:39:26Dinner's ready.
00:39:28Deeply sorry, darling. Urgent business. Must be taking off.
00:39:32Oh, um, okay, well...
00:39:34It was nice meeting you.
00:39:36You too, darling.
00:39:42Tick-tock.
00:39:51All right, I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal. Any ideas?
00:39:58Inner rehab.
00:40:00Too tacky.
00:40:02Go volunteer in a third-world country?
00:40:05Too obvious. Record an apology video for social media and post it there.
00:40:11Too cringe.
00:40:12Adopt an orphan.
00:40:14Now that is something. Ariel, how good are you at raising kids?
00:40:18Um, let's think of other options.
00:40:23What about a charity ball?
00:40:25Yes! That's it! That's the one!
00:40:28I like that. I like it a lot.
00:40:30Isn't she good?
00:40:32Phenomenal.
00:40:34Well, I'm not sure I'm ready for a charity ball yet.
00:40:37I 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.
00:41:07Thank you. I'm honored.
00:41:09Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend Valentina, and you.
00:41:14Good job, Ariel.
00:41:20Let's see how it looks. Come out.
00:41:26It fits perfectly, darling.
00:41:30Wow. Stunning.
00:41:33Next, I'll have to get you a dress.
00:41:36A dress?
00:41:38What's the occasion?
00:41:40Well, I'm hosting this charity ball, and I would love for you to be my date.
00:41:46I love a good ball.
00:41:49But I must check my schedule, darling.
00:41:52Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?
00:41:56My new AI tech.
00:41:57It's going to revolutionize the world.
00:42:00Ah, yes.
00:42:03We got interrupted. You were going to tell me something important.
00:42:08What were you going to say?
00:42:10It's not really that necessary.
00:42:14You don't trust me?
00:42:16I do. This is my first major launch as Ellington CEO, and I just want it to go well.
00:42:23But I thought I was special.
00:42:26You are. I just—
00:42:29Well, you know, if you don't trust me—
00:42:32Wait.
00:42:37So you do trust me?
00:42:39Mm-hmm.
00:42:48So Blaine's going to tell me everything?
00:42:50Yes.
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.
00:43:21Where in the mansion?
00:43:24It's—
00:43:30Yeah.
00:43:33Now?
00:43:37Okay. I'll be there.
00:43:45Where are you going, darling?
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. I'm sorry. Pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:44:03Yeah.
00:44:06Martina was right about you. I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:16Okay.
00:44:41Did you get it?
00:44:43The code is in Blaine's mansion.
00:44:46Excellent, darling. Excellent.
00:45:13Max? What are you doing here?
00:45:14What 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—
00:45:41Oh, you'll lose your job? Your reputation? Oh, 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. I want to destroy you.
00:46:11You have 24 hours to end this charade on your own.
00:46:16If by tomorrow, I see little Valentina Kingsley running around town, I'll do it for you.
00:46:24I'll do it for you.
00:46:39You seem extra happy today.
00:46:42I feel like Valentina and I, we got on a whole nother level last night.
00:46:47Wow, that's awesome, man. I'm so happy for you.
00:46:51Hi, Mr. Lington. Hi, Kurt.
00:46:52Hi, Anna.
00:46:54Yeah, I feel like she's the one, Kurt.
00:46:57Kurt?
00:46:59Sorry, what were we talking about?
00:47:05Hi, Ariel. Are you alright?
00:47:08Yeah, I'm alright. I actually had an idea about the charity ball.
00:47:14Well, we keep reaching out to all of these extravagant venues for their availability.
00:47:19I was thinking we could host it ourselves.
00:47:22Where?
00:47:24I was thinking your house.
00:47:30I don't really like having people over at my house.
00:47:35Well, if we host it ourselves, it seems like a more intimate event.
00:47:41And then we could have it as soon as this weekend.
00:47:44That makes sense. Okay.
00:47:47Okay, let's do it.
00:47:49Great. I'll send out the invitations.
00:47:55She really knows this company inside and out.
00:47:58What do you know about Ariel?
00:48:01What do you want to know?
00:48:17Here you go, Mom.
00:48:19I'm sorry I couldn't stay awake for the movie. I'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?
00:48:45It'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.
00:49:15Okay.
00:49:25And 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 I 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, I should probably call Valentina, right?
00:50:04Make sure the dress fits.
00:50:07I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:50:09All right. 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.
00:50:33I can't wait either, darling.
00:50:36Good 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, does 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 friendly conversation.
00:51:28Yeah.
00:51:30We need more balloons in the dining room.
00:51:32Oh.
00:51:34You're still here.
00:51:36Yeah.
00:51:38Listen, if someone were to ask Hannah to dance,
00:51:44what do you think the chances are that she would say yes?
00:51:48Probably good.
00:51:50Are you going to ask her to dance?
00:51:53No, no, no, no, no.
00:51:55No, I'm just a fan of wild, hypothetical situations.
00:52:02That one just sprung to mind.
00:52:05Okay.
00:52:07Yep.
00:52:09Um, well, I'm going to go help Blaine practice his speech.
00:52:18So I'm going to do that right now.
00:52:21I will see you later.
00:52:23All right, see ya.
00:52:25And you must be Ariel.
00:52:27You 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 was your idea.
00:52:46I suppose so.
00:52:48Wonderful.
00:52:50Kind of reminds me of something Blaine's father would have done if he were in Blaine's situation.
00:52:55Wow, 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 see her playing a bigger role at Ellington if she keeps it up.
00:53:20Why wait? She could be a part of something huge tonight.
00:53:23Really?
00:53:25I think so. Don't you, Ariel?
00:53:28Uh, uh-huh.
00:53:30Amazing. Well, I can't wait.
00:53:38Me either.
00:53:53Ariel!
00:53:55Blaine.
00:53:57There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:53:59Blaine?
00:54:01Blaine.
00:54:03Blaine.
00:54:05Blaine.
00:54:07Blaine.
00:54:09Blaine.
00:54:11Blaine.
00:54:13Blaine.
00:54:15Blaine.
00:54:17Blaine.
00:54:19Blaine.
00:54:21Blaine.
00:54:23Here I am.
00:54:25Have you seen Valentina?
00:54:27No, I don't think so.
00:54:29About your height, flowy hair, no glasses?
00:54:33Um, no. No, I don't think so.
00:54:36In fact...
00:54:38What?
00:54:40Nothing. It's ridiculous.
00:54:42I better say hi to those guests, but if you could find her for me, that would be great.
00:54:47I'll get right on that.
00:54:49Thank you. Bye.
00:54:53Bye.
00:54:58Just go out there and hype Blaine up so he can deliver his speech.
00:55:02Then we're back to finding the drive.
00:55:04Okay.
00:55:06He can do this.
00:55:09Oh, hi, Ariel.
00:55:13Uh, you must be mistaken, love.
00:55:16I don't know this Ariel you speak of.
00:55:19Yeah, okay. Ariel.
00:55:23No, seriously. My name is Valentina Kingsley and I'm a very wealthy socialite.
00:55:29Oh, I get it. It's like one of those improv games or something.
00:55:34No, no, no. No game. My name is...
00:55:37Who else should I be?
00:55:39Just be yourself.
00:55:41I'm the Queen of England.
00:55:45You can really tell it's me?
00:55:47Well, yeah. But, I mean, I can be very observant.
00:55:51Really?
00:55:53Okay, well, Hannah, it's very important that this stays between us.
00:55:57Okay. Can I ask why?
00:56:00Well, it's really complicated.
00:56:03Um, but you have to promise me you won't tell anybody about this.
00:56:07Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:56:10Yeah, sure.
00:56:12Aww. Well, good luck with whatever this is.
00:56:19Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna need it.
00:56:23Okay.
00:56:43Ah, there you are, darling.
00:56:45Valentina. I'm so glad to see you.
00:56:48Look at this place. I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this since the King of Spain's birthday.
00:56:53I'm glad it lives up to your approval.
00:56:55Of course. You're doing a speech, I see.
00:56:58Oh, I'm not much of a speech giver.
00:57:01They're gonna eat you up, darling.
00:57:04You make me feel so confident.
00:57:06I need to be looking at you when I give my speech.
00:57:15Of course.
00:57:17Okay, perfect.
00:57:19Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside. I must go speak with her.
00:57:23Uh, Valentina, I was thinking maybe 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? In the study, or...?
00:57:41Upstairs. Hidden in a very high-tech safe.
00:57:45Ah, I see.
00:57:47You actually inspired my security team to create a new hiding space for it.
00:57:54What the heck did I say?
00:57:56I'll give you a hint. If you were to look for it, you'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.
00:58:24Excuse me. What are you doing in here?
00:58:32Excuse me. What are you doing in here?
00:58:35Um...
00:58:37And who are you?
00:58:39Oh, um...
00:58:41Uh...
00:58:43Um, I... I, um...
00:58:45You...
00:58:47You...
00:58:49You...
00:58:51You...
00:58:53You look lost.
00:58:55I am, darling. I am lost. I've been to a lot of mansions, but this one is big.
00:59:03Grandfather.
00:59:05This is Valentina Kingsley, Blaine's new girlfriend.
00:59:10Oh, yes, yes. From the front page of the Times. Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
00:59:16I hope it was all good things.
00:59:17Well, I haven't seen him smile quite as much as he does now since his father passed.
00:59:24And I trust that Blaine is treating you respectfully, like a lady.
00:59:31He is.
00:59:33Well, it was a good thing that we were up here to find you.
00:59:36If it had been during Blaine's speech, no one would know you're here.
00:59:40Right.
00:59:42Good thing.
00:59:44Shall we return to the party?
00:59:45Yes, we shall.
00:59:47Very nice meeting you, Miss Kingsley.
00:59:50You too, sir.
00:59:51You too, sir.
01:00:13You seem quiet. Is everything all right?
01:00:17Everything's fine, darling.
01:00:19Hey, Valentina.
01:00:21I have a girl question for you.
01:00:27Oh, my God. For the love of God.
01:00:30You clearly have a crush on Hannah. Just ask her to dance.
01:00:33You just met me, you can already tell?
01:00:35Yes.
01:00:37You read me like a book.
01:00:39I see what Blaine sees in you.
01:00:41You're really inquisitive.
01:00:43In fact, I'll go butter her up for you.
01:00:46Would you? That would be great.
01:00:49Dude.
01:00:52Hannah, I need a favor.
01:00:55Anything.
01:00:57When Blaine is giving his speech, I'm going to step away.
01:00:59If anyone asks, I'm not feeling well.
01:01:02And Ariel is going to help Valentina get some medicine.
01:01:06Got it.
01:01:08Oh, and Kurt's going to ask you to dance.
01:01:11Really?
01:01:13Sorry.
01:01:15When?
01:01:17Tonight.
01:01:19Oh, right. It's a ball.
01:01:21Yeah.
01:01:39It's time, brother. You ready?
01:01:41As ready as I'll ever be.
01:01:46Thank you for coming tonight.
01:01:49It means a lot.
01:01:51You're the first.
01:01:53You're going to be amazing.
01:02:00Ladies and gentlemen,
01:02:02I want to thank you all so much for coming out here tonight.
01:02:05It is my great honor and privilege to introduce my good friend,
01:02:09your CEO of Ellington Incorporated,
01:02:13Mr. Blaine Ellington.
01:02:15Good evening, everyone.
01:02:17I want to, before we get started,
01:02:20thank two people who, without their help,
01:02:23none of this would have happened tonight.
01:02:26My assistant, Ariel, and my girlfriend, Valentina.
01:02:33Not sure where they are right now,
01:02:36but I want to thank them for having my back.
01:02:40Hi, Anna.
01:02:42Oh, hi.
01:02:44You haven't seen Valentina around, have you?
01:02:47I wanted to try to find her so she could watch Blaine's speech.
01:02:50Valentina is sick,
01:02:53and Ariel was helping her get medicine.
01:02:56Oh, okay.
01:02:59Um, you look really pretty.
01:03:03Oh, thank you.
01:03:06Um, you look really pretty, by the way.
01:03:10Thanks.
01:03:12You look really pretty, too.
01:03:36Alright, time to find this code.
01:03:45Okay.
01:03:57Blaine mentioned something I said?
01:04:00What the heck did I say?
01:04:04Paintings.
01:04:16So, tonight, I'm pledging ten million dollars
01:04:22to help research cures for illnesses and disorders unknown.
01:04:27Thank you all for coming.
01:04:29I hope to see you on the dance floor.
01:04:45Bye.
01:04:53I'm sorry, Mom.
01:04:55I failed you.
01:05:15I'm sorry.
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.
01:05:40He was talking about me.
01:05:45Oh, my God.
01:06:15Okay.
01:06:31Okay.
01:06:36Think, Ariel.
01:06:46Okay.
01:06:48What could the numbers be?
01:06:50It couldn't be our first date, could it?
01:07:15Ariel!
01:07:20I've got the code.
01:07:22Excellent, darling.
01:07:24I'll give it to you after the ball.
01:07:26Or 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.
01:07:46Okay.
01:07:49The future
01:07:51in the palm of my hand.
01:07:55I was beginning to think you didn't have it in you.
01:07:58Blaine's a good man.
01:08:01You're awful.
01:08:03He's rich, darling. He'll get over it.
01:08:05My mom?
01:08:07And her surgery?
01:08:09I've been accused of many things.
01:08:11But I always keep my word.
01:08:12Now, go and celebrate.
01:08:14You deserve it, darling.
01:08:43Valencina.
01:08:45Hi, darling.
01:08:46There you are.
01:08:48How are you feeling?
01:08:50Stronger than the rains in the Amazon, darling.
01:08:52Excellent.
01:08:54Care to dance?
01:08:56Certainly.
01:08:59Well, well.
01:09:01Well, well.
01:09:04Look at the happy couple.
01:09:05Look at the happy couple.
01:09:11How did you get in?
01:09:13Oh, I have my ways.
01:09:15We lied about our names on the guest list.
01:09:17Anyway.
01:09:21I just came here to congratulate you
01:09:23on your little events.
01:09:25You need to leave.
01:09:27Actually, I don't think I do.
01:09:29Because I don't think you
01:09:31know who your little girlfriend is.
01:09:33She's Valentina Kingsley.
01:09:35No.
01:09:37There is no Valentina Kingsley.
01:09:39What?
01:09:41If only your little assistant
01:09:43had assisted you
01:09:45in researching her.
01:09:47You know, it's funny.
01:09:49I haven't actually seen her
01:09:51all night.
01:09:53Blaine, don't listen to him.
01:09:55What is he talking about?
01:09:57Yeah, she may have fooled
01:09:59everyone in here.
01:10:01But an ex-boyfriend
01:10:03never forgets a butt.
01:10:05Okay.
01:10:15Ariel?
01:10:29This whole time
01:10:31you've been Valentina?
01:10:33That's right.
01:10:35You pretended to care about me.
01:10:37But you're just a liar.
01:10:39And worse.
01:10:41She's poor.
01:10:43Why?
01:10:45Yes, Ariel.
01:10:47But why?
01:10:49I'm so sorry.
01:10:51Ariel. Ariel, wait.
01:10:54How embarrassing.
01:10:57You know,
01:10:59I looked into you.
01:11:01You're in so much debt
01:11:03that it's surprising
01:11:05that you drove here.
01:11:07How preposterous.
01:11:09If anybody looks into that,
01:11:11it will be a complete waste of time.
01:11:13Ew.
01:11:15You're poor?
01:11:17Regina!
01:11:22You're my hero.
01:11:24Thanks.
01:11:26Sometimes I just gotta tell her.
01:11:28You know.
01:11:32Ariel!
01:11:35Ariel!
01:11:41What are you smiling about?
01:11:43I mean, come on.
01:11:45This proves it, right?
01:11:47He's a joke.
01:11:49No, he's your brother, Martina.
01:11:51He's a liability, Richard.
01:11:53And you are giving him the company
01:11:55with the luxury of not having to deal
01:11:57with this shit show
01:11:59because you won't be alive much longer.
01:12:01Oh, well, don't bet on that.
01:12:03You know, you got a lot of nerve
01:12:05letting this ship go down
01:12:07when the lifeboat is right in front of you.
01:12:09I should be running this company!
01:12:11Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:19Look, I'm not poor.
01:12:21I don't want to hear it.
01:12:23I do not want to hear it.
01:12:25You lied to me.
01:12:27Not only did you lie to me,
01:12:29but you embarrassed me in there.
01:12:31That is fair.
01:12:33Oh!
01:12:36Regina!
01:13:00That was a disaster.
01:13:03I just don't understand.
01:13:07Why would she go through all that?
01:13:09I don't know.
01:13:11But these scandals are exhausting.
01:13:15Yeah.
01:13:17I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon.
01:13:22Right.
01:13:25I got a lot to think about.
01:13:27What do you mean?
01:13:29I mean, we may have to take the company
01:13:32in a complete different direction
01:13:34if we're going to gain back the public's trust.
01:13:37You can't be serious.
01:13:39No?
01:13:43Something better happen sooner.
01:13:46I guess much worse.
01:13:49Did she want anything from you?
01:13:52I don't know, Martina.
01:13:54Nothing valuable?
01:13:56Martina, I said I don't...
01:14:03What?
01:14:19No!
01:14:29Ariel.
01:14:30Baby?
01:14:32Oh.
01:14:34You look like you had a rough night.
01:14:36It was a disaster, really.
01:14:39I feel awful.
01:14:41Oh.
01:14:43I'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
01:14:58sent in the funds for me to have my operation.
01:15:00What?
01:15:02I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday.
01:15:04Oh, my God.
01:15:08Mom, I'm so happy.
01:15:11I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake.
01:15:14I agree.
01:15:50It's time to celebrate.
01:15:54To the future, darling.
01:16:02Drink.
01:16:04You've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory.
01:16:10There it is.
01:16:12Doesn't our little prize look nice?
01:16:15People walk in and out of my office
01:16:18having no idea what's in the room with them.
01:16:21Of course, I won't be able to enjoy it too much longer
01:16:25since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight.
01:16:28I guess I just feel bad.
01:16:30To get what you want in life,
01:16:32sometimes you have to do bold things.
01:16:35Break the rules a little.
01:16:38I guess.
01:16:40Ask any CEO and they'll agree,
01:16:43including your little boy toy.
01:16:46Blaine would never do anything like that.
01:16:48Well, anyway,
01:16:50speaking of money,
01:16:52let's get that surgery paid for, shall we?
01:16:55What?
01:16:57All I need is your wiring info and I can send it on over.
01:17:00I trust that the original estimate hasn't changed?
01:17:04I'm sorry.
01:17:06You haven't paid for the surgery yet?
01:17:08No.
01:17:10That's why we're here, isn't it?
01:17:14Darling.
01:17:18Hey.
01:17:40All right.
01:17:42One more drink and we'll start packing up my things.
01:17:46Deal. One more.
01:17:48Okay.
01:17:52Anna.
01:17:54Hi, Mr. Ellington. May I come in?
01:17:56Sure. Come on in.
01:17:58Hi, cutie.
01:18:02Care for a drink?
01:18:04Oh, no. I stopped drinking on the job ages ago.
01:18:06Wait, what was that?
01:18:08Mr. Ellington, I have a delivery for you.
01:18:10From who?
01:18:12Ariel.
01:18:13I don't want it. Take it back.
01:18:15She said you might say that.
01:18:17But she said that it was very, very important.
01:18:20How important?
01:18:22I don't know.
01:18:24But she did say that it was something so important
01:18:26that she only trusted me to deliver it.
01:18:28So, it must be a big deal.
01:18:38Hey.
01:18:40Hey.
01:18:41Hey.
01:18:51Oh, my God.
01:18:53Oh, my God.
01:18:55Ew! What's happening?
01:18:57What's going on? What does this mean?
01:19:12Oh, Flora.
01:19:14Yes, darling.
01:19:16Your appointment had to leave early.
01:19:18I asked if they wanted her scheduled, but they said no.
01:19:21I didn't have any appointments scheduled for today.
01:19:24What was the name?
01:19:27Valentina Kingsley.
01:19:41No!
01:19:50You're rich.
01:19:52You'll get over it.
01:19:54Darling.
01:19:56Oh, my God.
01:20:09Oh, what's going on? What does this mean?
01:20:16Thank you for everything.
01:20:19Hannah, did you want to help me with that thing?
01:20:22I would love to.
01:20:24Yes, let's do that.
01:20:31Can you please get the hell out of my seat?
01:20:38Lane, there's no easy way for me to say this.
01:20:44But it's time.
01:20:46But it's time.
01:20:56But it's time.
01:21:02To celebrate.
01:21:08You are going to regret this. I promise you that.
01:21:16Geez, 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.
01:21:26I knew you could do it. I knew it!
01:21:30You know, your dad would be so proud of you.
01:21:45Dr. Westfall.
01:21:46Oh, hi, Ariel.
01:21:47Is surgery over? How did it go?
01:21:49Yes, we just finished. There were complications.
01:21:52Complications?
01:21:53Yes, but we were able to work through them, and your mother's going to be just fine.
01:21:58Really?
01:21:59Really, yes. In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now.
01:22:03She'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.
01:22:09I can't thank you enough.
01:22:11I'm happy to help.
01:22:15I love you.
01:22:23I love you.
01:22:26I love you.
01:22:46Come in, come in!
01:22:50Welcome!
01:22:55Ariel!
01:22:57Mom, why didn't you let me hang out of bed? The doctor said to stay in after surgery.
01:23:01I know, I know, but I saw this cute guy through the window, and I got kind of excited.
01:23:09Are you hungry?
01:23:10No, thank you, but thank you.
01:23:11Oh, thank you. Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
01:23:15Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy?
01:23:18Oh, of course. 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. See, 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, you still looking for a girlfriend?
01:24:24Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply.
01:24:35Okay.
01:24:42I love you, Valentina. I mean, Ariel.
01:24:47And that's gonna take some getting used to.
01:24:51There aren't any starry rooftop views here, but this is my special place.
01:24:58It's even better.
01:25:05I love you.
