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