00:02:00Rich?
00:02:02Sexy?
00:02:04Frankly, yes.
00:02:06Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:07Um, Valentina Kingsley.
00:02:12And you are?
00:02:13Lane 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.
00:02:27You 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.

00:02:51And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:02:55I invest.
00:02:57In what?
00:02:58In everything.
00:03:01What am I not investing in?
00:03:04Businesses.
00:03:06Charities.
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.
00:03:26So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:30Hmm.
00:03:30Doesn't surprise me.
00:03:32I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:37Um.
00:03:39You've got a little, uh...
00:03:51Kurt?
00:03:52Kurt?
00:03:53What's my manager doing here?
00:03:57Blaine.
00:03:57My business inter 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.
00:04:07I just 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.
00:04:26You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with.
00:04:30Would you like to come to my place?
00:04:31I 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.
00:05:01Oh, my.
00:05:16You like what you see?
00:05:18You're getting there, darling.
00:05:20Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:24Well then, shall we get started?
00:05:29Uh, not so fast.
00:05:32Okay.
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?
00:05:44Looking for something?
00:05:47Oh, um...
00:05:48I should have known that was your style.
00:05:55Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:58Ugh, I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:06:01I'm not used to being the one tied up.
00:06:03It's usually the other way around.
00:06:09Valentina?
00:06:10Patience, 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 you say guys actually like this?
00:06:23Oh, yes.
00:06:24It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:06:27How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:37That's...
00:06:38That's new.
00:06:39The painting!
00:06:43Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:06:45Oh, uh...
00:06:46Sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:06:49It looks exactly like...
00:06:50The 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.
00:07:02Oh, no, it's quite popular.
00:07:06Where do you hide your luxurious safekeepings?
00:07:11In a super, super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:15Ugh, come on.
00:07:18Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?
00:07:22Oh, uh...
00:07:23Most unfortunate, I'm...
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!
00:07:37Wait!
00:07:39Untie me!
00:07:44Ew.
00:07:46Really, Blaine?
00:07:47What?
00:07:49But you and your models.
00:07:51Last 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 are so boring.
00:08:06But this one, she's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:08:10I must see her again.
00:08:12Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:16It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.
00:08:18Grandfather, listen 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?
00:08:39You weren't meant to be some CEO.
00:08:43No, but Blaine, Blaine will learn in time.
00:08:46Whatever.
00:08:48Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:08:50Blaine, I have actual work to attend to.
00:08:57Yeah, yeah, thanks.
00:09:05Hello?
00:09:05How'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, and 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, it'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?
00:09:30Oh, yes.
00:09:31It'll be ready.
00:09:31Soon, we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:09:48What's he doing here?
00:09:49Speaking of girls, I 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.
00:10:09There 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 their 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 going to apply?
00:10:43I'm good where I am.
00:10:44All 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.
00:11:11I 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,
00:11:23I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:11:26Not me, not me, not me.
00:11:28Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:11:31All right, everyone, back to work.
00:11:44You look exactly like...
00:11:48Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:54Kurt described.
00:11:56Clean, organized desk, confident composure.
00:12:01There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:12:04This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:12:07When do I start?
00:12:09Perfect.
00:12:10Uh, first thing I need help with is there's this file.
00:12:13Oh, um, gotta take a phone call.
00:12:15Send 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.
00:12:38Hmm.
00:12:39New number, huh?
00:12:43Hello?
00:12:44Hello, Ariel.
00:12:45This is Dr. Westphal.
00:12:46We just got your mother's results.
00:12:48It'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.
00:13:41Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:13:42Hush.
00:13:43None of that talk, okay?
00:13:45Mom, eat before your food gets cold.
00:13:48I'll be right back.
00:14:04It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:06Are you ready?
00:14:09Yeah.
00:14:12Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:14I'll make it to go.
00:14:32Oh, where am I?
00:14:38Valentina!
00:14:39Blaine!
00:14:42Darling, what is this dreadful?
00:14:44A 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.
00:15:03How many more are?
00:15:04We're almost there.
00:15:05Come on.
00:15:14Wow.
00:15:22Can you look at that view?
00:15:35I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:15:37Just you, actually.
00:15:37I 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, and I'm a bit in over my head, so I never really
00:15:54get a chance to myself, except when I come here.
00:15:56I'm so sorry.
00:16:00I'm so sorry.
00:16:06My mom is sick.
00:16:11She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:14I'm so sorry.
00:16:16I'm so sorry.
00:16:18I feel like it feels to...
00:16:21Want to get away?
00:16:22Yeah.
00:16:24I'm used to getting everything, but this is one thing that money can't buy.
00:16:30I'm so sorry about your mom.
00:16:34Thanks.
00:16:37She's all I've got.
00:16:39I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:16:50Hey!
00:16:51Who's out here?
00:16:56What's happening?
00:16:58Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:17:00What?
00:17:00Run.
00:17:09Hey!
00:17:12No!
00:17:18What was that?
00:17:19That was fun.
00:17:21Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:17:24No.
00:17:25I suppose not.
00:17:25I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:17:32I feel like I can be myself around you.
00:17:36I feel the same way.
00:17:39Will 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.
00:17:52I'd love to.
00:17:53Well, well, well, well.
00:18:01Martina, what are you doing here?
00:18:02I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:18:07I had to see it for myself.
00:18:10Well, that blind date went so well the other night, it got me thinking maybe grandfather
00:18:14was right.
00:18:15Is that so?
00:18:17Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:18:20That's right.
00:18:20Wow.
00:18:22What's she like?
00:18:23She's funny, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable.
00:18:29She's the whole package.
00:18:31Hmm.
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.
00:18:49Glad 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, I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new
00:19:00AI tech that we need.
00:19:01I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati, and don't you worry.
00:19:04I've got the codes right here on this drive, and I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:19Glad 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, where's that drive?
00:19:45Are 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?
00:20:09You don't twist my arm.
00:20:11You don't twist my arm.
00:20:13No, no, no.
00:20:14Oh, yeah.
00:20:26Sarah, cheers.
00:20:27Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:32Right.
00:20:33Right.
00:20:33Right.
00:20:34After that.
00:20:35Yeah.
00:20:35Whew, that was close.
00:20:50Hey, girlfriend.
00:20:52Can I ask your advice on something?
00:20:54Sure.
00:20:55What'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, and she doesn't know what to do about it because of the whole
00:21:05workplace relationship thing.
00:21:06How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:21:08Wait, I 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, because what if I tell Kurt I like him and he doesn't like me, and
00:21:17then 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.
00:21:25What?
00:21:26Ring, ring.
00:21:27Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:21:28Ring, ring.
00:21:31Ring, ring.
00:21:32Ring, ring.
00:21:36Ariel.
00:21:37Yes, Mr. Ellington?
00:21:39I need your personal help.
00:21:41Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:21:53I've never gotten a girl a gift.
00:21:55Wow, really?
00:21:56Um, 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.
00:22:07Oh, my God, I'm going to be wearing that?
00:22:22Sorry?
00:22:23Uh, your 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.
00:22:31Do you think you should 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.
00:23:02And that's even more revealing than the first one.
00:23:04Yeah.
00:23:04This is big in Europe.
00:23:07Between you and me, I'm written for this guy.
00:23:09Mm-hmm.
00:23:10I 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.
00:23:25You 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.
00:23:53She'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.
00:24:09We 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.
00:24:17Yes?
00:24:19Yeah.
00:24:21Excellent.
00:24:21Now, 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?
00:24:32Um, be nice?
00:24:37Ha ha.
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.
00:24:56I 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.
00:25:11Oh!
00:25:12And darling, have fun.
00:25:19Valentina.
00:25:20How are you?
00:25:23Wonderful, love.
00:25:25I've been looking forward to this all day.
00:25:27Is that so?
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.
00:26:01Oh, no.
00:26:02Well, here goes nothing.
00:26:08Oh, man.
00:26:09Oh.
00:26:10Oh.
00:26:11Oh, man.
00:26:13That's really bad.
00:26:14Oh, stop.
00:26:15That's not in that.
00:26:17That's funny.
00:26:18Oh, stop.
00:26:19Oh, stop.
00:26:23You know, my sister is implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is
00:26:30because I forget stuff.
00:26:32And...
00:26:33Are you forgetful?
00:26:37I mean, yeah.
00:26:38Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati?
00:26:42What?
00:26:43Really?
00:26:44Yeah.
00:26:44It cost me $10,000 just to get them re-kied.
00:26:48Which is why I should probably tell someone in case I do forget.
00:26:55So, 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.
00:27:04I'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?
00:27:25Except my ex-boyfriend.
00:27:31I don't know what you're talking about, darling.
00:27:33I don't know this...
00:27:36Ariel.
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?
00:27:45You're poor.
00:27:46Fine.
00:27:47Please just leave, Max.
00:27:49It's Max a Million now.
00:27:51Because 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
00:28:37unlimited discount tacos?
00:28:39I'm very...
00:28:40Don't you have a girlfriend?
00:28:43Yes, he does.
00:28:44A situationship at best.
00:28:46Let 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.
00:29:26Come on, Regina.
00:29:31Just stay away from my man, skink.
00:29:33He's actively 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.
00:29:45Care to explain this?
00:29:55I assume the article does a good job.
00:29:59Getting into a physical altercation in a bar?
00:30:04What are you, a child?
00:30:06I'm not a child, but he started it.
00:30:08Well, 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, no, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't play the girlfriend card, okay?
00:30:23The onus is you on this, pal.
00:30:26You 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.
00:30:34Either way, I just hope all this boils over next time we talk.
00:30:39What would your father think?
00:30:41Uneasy 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?
00:31:16Or 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.
00:31:42Okay, share more.
00:31:44Behind most men's success is a strong woman.
00:31:47I will.
00:31:49I'm going to get close to this woman.
00:31:51You'll see.
00:31:52Hmm.
00:31:53And you will be like two lovely berries molded onto one stem.
00:31:57Shakespeare.
00:31:58Yeah.
00:31:59Yeah.
00:32:02Ow.
00:32:13Martina, 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.
00:32:26But now I'm not so sure.
00:32:29Wait.
00:32:31Oh my God, do you have feelings for him?
00:32:33What?
00:32:34No.
00:32:35I hope not.
00:32:36Because you have four days to get that code?
00:32:39Or you can say bye to mommy.
00:32:40Other than that.
00:32:44I am fine.
00:32:45Thanks for asking.
00:32:57Happy hump day, bestie!
00:32:59It's Tuesday, Hannah.
00:33:01Oh, right.
00:33:03Hey, how's your guy trouble coming?
00:33:04Better.
00:33:05And worse.
00:33:08That sounds super complicated.
00:33:10You have no idea.
00:33:12Aaron?
00:33:13Can you come in here?
00:33:15I'll be right there.
00:33:16Good thing you've got work to distract you.
00:33:18Good thing.
00:33:25You have the file for the new China branch?
00:33:28Yeah.
00:33:35Long night.
00:33:40You know what?
00:33:43Let's forget about the file.
00:33:54Let's just close our eyes for, um, ten minutes.
00:33:58That's an order.
00:34:08Okay.
00:34:16This is nice.
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:21This should be, like, an everyday thing.
00:34:25Mm-hmm.
00:34:26Good morning.
00:34:30Another 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.
00:34:43Um.
00:34:44Well, everything should be there.
00:34:48I can't even concentrate on work right now.
00:34:52Oh?
00:34:52Why?
00:34:53Well, I don't know if you heard, but...
00:34:57Oh, my.
00:35:00That's, uh, quite a scene.
00:35:01Well, I'm glad you weren't there.
00:35:04I can imagine.
00:35:06Yeah, I just...
00:35:08I hope my girlfriend doesn't think that that's my kind of lifestyle.
00:35:12You should just talk to her and be honest.
00:35:16Yeah.
00:35:18I'm gonna call her.
00:35:19What?
00:35:22Yeah, can you be in the room when I do it?
00:35:25Uh, you want me in the room?
00:35:27Yeah.
00:35:28Maybe you could, you know, listen to her voice and read her.
00:35:31Tell me if she sounds upset.
00:35:35Uh...
00:35:36Yeah.
00:35:37I don't know if I feel comfortable.
00:35:39Oh, gosh.
00:35:39She makes me so nervous.
00:35:41I'm sure you make her nervous, too.
00:35:44Shit, shit, shit.
00:35:45Uh-oh.
00:35:48Uh-oh.
00:35:49Think, Ariel.
00:35:50Think.
00:35:51Uh, I'm gonna be sick.
00:35:53Bathroom!
00:35:54Hello, 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.
00:36:17I 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.
00:36:36Uh, I wanted to know if, uh, I get to see you again.
00:36:41You will.
00:36:42Very soon.
00:36:49Uh, sorry.
00:36:52Can I help you?
00:36:54I-I couldn't hear you.
00:36:55It-it kind of sounded like...
00:36:57Uh, uh, sorry.
00:36:58Uh, Eduardo is calling me for my ha-hot stone massage.
00:37:02Must be going.
00:37:04Okay.
00:37:04Uh, sure.
00:37:06See you.
00:37:07Ta-ta!
00:37:14Community theater.
00:37:15Hmm.
00:37:16Character.
00:37:17I'm rehearsing.
00:37:20Murder mystery.
00:37:21I'll, uh, send you the dates.
00:37:26I'm not in the theater.
00:37:29That's fair.
00:37:30That's fair.
00:37:43Mom, I'm home!
00:37:46Hi, honey.
00:37:48How was your day?
00:37:51It was...
00:37:52not boring.
00:37:54How was yours?
00:37:56It was wonderful.
00:37:58I did laundry, watched some soaps.
00:38:02Um, what are you cooking?
00:38:04I told you I was gonna cook tonight.
00:38:06Well, you weren't home yet, and I wanted to go ahead and get started so your co-worker could have some, too.
00:38:10Well, my co-worker?
00:38:12Hello, darling.
00:38:22Flora.
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.
00:38:34Flora mentioned that you got a job promotion.
00:38:37You didn't say anything about a job promotion.
00:38:38I guess it slipped my mind.
00:38:43Well, you two don't mind me.
00:38:45Go ahead and have your work talk.
00:38:46Then I'll be ready soon.
00:38:47What are you doing here?
00:39:00Checking in to see what progress was made last night.
00:39:03I, um, I got close to finding out where he hit the drive, but I...
00:39:08But close doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:39:11I'll get you the drive soon, I promise.
00:39:13Well, it sounds like the clock is ticking fast.
00:39:18You're not getting attached.
00:39:20What?
00:39:21No.
00:39:21Of course not.
00:39:23Good.
00:39:24I was worried you were developing feelings for the man.
00:39:29Dinner's ready.
00:39:30Oh.
00:39:31Deeply sorry, darling.
00:39:33Urgent business.
00:39:34Must be taking off.
00:39:35Oh.
00:39:36Um, okay.
00:39:37Well, it was nice meeting you.
00:39:38You too, darling.
00:39:40Mwah.
00:39:41Tick-tock.
00:39:54All right.
00:39:58I need ways to fix my image after that bar scandal.
00:40:02Any ideas?
00:40:05In a rehab.
00:40:06Too tacky.
00:40:07Go volunteer in a third world country?
00:40:11Mm, too obvious.
00:40:13Record an apology video for social media and post it there.
00:40:16Too cringe.
00:40:21Adopt an orphan.
00:40:23Now that is something.
00:40:24Ariel.
00:40:25How good are you at raising kids?
00:40:26Um, let's think of other options.
00:40:29What about a charity ball?
00:40:33Yes.
00:40:34That's it.
00:40:35That's the one.
00:40:36I like that.
00:40:37I like it a lot.
00:40:39Isn't she good?
00:40:40Phenomenal.
00:40:42Well, really, we wouldn't be here had I not appointed her as your assistant.
00:40:45So, really, this kind of all comes back to...
00:40:48Got it.
00:40:49Wait.
00:40:50What charity would it be for?
00:40:52How about unknown disorders and illnesses?
00:40:55I'd love that.
00:40:56Let's get it rolling.
00:40:58I'll start right away.
00:40:59Ariel.
00:41:01You've become an integral part of our company, and I want to have you seated at our VIP table.
00:41:07Oh, my gosh.
00:41:08I'm honored.
00:41:09Me, my family, Kurt, my girlfriend Valentina, and you.
00:41:14Good job, Ariel.
00:41:21Let's see how it looks.
00:41:22Come out.
00:41:22If it fits perfectly, darling.
00:41:31Wow.
00:41:32Stunning.
00:41:36Next, I'll have to get you a dress.
00:41:39A dress?
00:41:40What's the occasion?
00:41:41Well, I'm hosting this charity ball, and I would love for you to be my date.
00:41:49I love a good ball.
00:41:51But I must check my schedule, darling.
00:41:54Is this for that computer thingy you were talking about the other day?
00:41:58My new AI tech is going to revolutionize the world.
00:42:03Ah, yes.
00:42:06We got interrupted.
00:42:07You were going to tell me something important.
00:42:10What were you going to say?
00:42:13It's not really that necessary.
00:42:17You don't trust me?
00:42:19I do.
00:42:20This is my first major launch as Ellington's CEO, and I just want it to go well.
00:42:26But I thought I was special.
00:42:30You are.
00:42:31I just...
00:42:32Well, you know, if you don't trust me...
00:42:35Wait.
00:42:40So you do trust me?
00:42:43Mm-hmm.
00:42:43So, Blaine's going to tell me the super special secret?
00:42:57Mm-hmm.
00:43:00Where is it?
00:43:02It's here.
00:43:03In the mansion.
00:43:08It's here?
00:43:09It's here.
00:43:13Where in the mansion?
00:43:26It's...
00:43:27Yeah.
00:43:34Now?
00:43:38Okay.
00:43:40I'll be there.
00:43:43Where are you going, darling?
00:43:49They need me to be on this call with China, so...
00:43:52I have to leave.
00:43:54You have to leave right now, darling?
00:43:56Yeah.
00:43:57Now.
00:43:59I'm sorry.
00:44:01Pick this back up again soon, huh?
00:44:04Yeah.
00:44:07Martina was right about you.
00:44:09I should start sharing more with you.
00:44:11I don't think so.
00:44:12I want to leave.
00:44:13I'm sorry.
00:44:16I can't wait.
00:44:20I can't wait.

00:54:35In fact
00:54:37What?

00:55:27And I'm a very wealthy socialite
00:55:28Oh, I get it
00:55:31It's like one of those improv games or something
00:55:34No, no, no, no game
00:55:36My name is
00:55:37Who else should I be?
00:55:40Just be yourself
00:55:41I'm the queen of England
00:55:43You can really tell it's me?
00:55:48Yeah, but
00:55:49I mean
00:55:50I can be very observant
00:55:51Really?
00:55:53Mm-hmm
00:55:53Okay, well, Hannah
00:55:55It's very important that this stays between us
00:55:57Okay
00:55:59Can I ask why?
00:56:01Well, it's really complicated
00:56:03Um
00:56:04But you have to promise me
00:56:06You won't tell anybody about this
00:56:07Can we make it a pinky promise?
00:56:11Yeah, sure
00:56:12Aw

00:56:22Ah, there you are, darling
00:56:45Ah, Valentina
00:56:46I'm so glad to see you
00:56:47Look at this place
00:56:49I haven't seen a ball as elegant as this
00:56:51Since the king of Spain's birthday
00:56:53I'm glad it lives up to your approval
00:56:55Of course
00:56:56You're doing a speech, I see
00:56:58Well, I'm not much of a speech giver
00:57:00They're gonna eat you up, darling
00:57:03You make me feel so confident
00:57:06I need to be looking at you
00:57:08When I give my speech
00:57:10Of course
00:57:17Okay, perfect
00:57:19Well, I saw a fellow philanthropist outside
00:57:22I must go speak with her
00:57:23Ah, Valentina
00:57:24I was thinking
00:57:25Maybe tonight
00:57:28I could show you
00:57:29The AI code
00:57:30Yes
00:57:33I would love to see
00:57:34What you've been working on
00:57:35Great
00:57:36Where would this be taking place?
00:57:39In the study, or?
00:57:41Upstairs
00:57:42Hidden
00:57:42In a very high-tech safe
00:57:44Ah
00:57:46I see
00:57:47You actually
00:57:49Inspired my security team
00:57:51To create a new hiding space for it
00:57:53What the heck did I say?
00:57:57I'll give you a hint
00:57:57If you were to look for it
00:57:59You'd be staring at the most beautiful thing in the world
00:58:02I'll let you get back to socializing
00:58:06Good luck, darling
00:58:09Thank you
00:58:10Thank you

00:59:03Grandfather
00:59:05Yes
00:59:05This is Valentina Kingsley
00:59:07Blaine's new girlfriend
00:59:08Oh, yes, yes
00:59:12From the, uh
00:59:12Front page of the
00:59:13The Times
00:59:14Yes, I've heard a lot about you
00:59:15I hope it was all good things
00:59:17Well
00:59:18I haven't seen him smile
00:59:21Quite as much as he does now
00:59:22Since his
00:59:23Father passed
00:59:24And I trust that Blaine is, uh
00:59:27Treating you
00:59:28Respectfully
00:59:30Like a lady
00:59:31He is
00:59:32Well
00:59:33It was a good thing
00:59:34That we were up here
00:59:35To find you
00:59:35If it had been
00:59:37During Blaine's speech
00:59:38No one would know
00:59:39You're here
00:59:40Right
00:59:42Good thing
00:59:44Shall we return
00:59:46To the party?

00:59:48Very nice meeting you
00:59:50Miss Kingsley
00:59:51Hmm

01:00:15Is everything going on?
01:00:17Everything's fine, darling
01:00:18Hey, Valentina
01:00:20I have a girl question
01:00:23For you
01:00:24Oh, my God
01:00:28For the love of God
01:00:29You clearly have a crush on Hannah
01:00:31Just ask her to dance
01:00:32You just met me
01:00:34You can already tell
01:00:35Yes
01:00:35You read me like a book
01:00:38I see what Blaine sees in you
01:00:40You're really inquisitive
01:00:42In fact
01:00:43I'll go butter her up for you
01:00:45Would you?
01:00:47That would be great
01:00:47Toad
01:00:50Hannah

01:00:55Anything
01:00:56When Blaine is giving his speech
01:00:58I'm going to step away
01:00:59If anyone asks
01:01:01I'm not feeling well
01:01:02And Ariel
01:01:03Is going to help Valentina
01:01:05Get some medicine
