[music] Adrien,
>> you keep saying my name like you lost me. [music]
>> You look
>> employed. Dangerous.
>> Wait, please. Oh, you me. Ow. Morning.
>> This elevator requires a key card.
>> That explains why it hates me.
>> That growth assumption is wrong.
>> Excuse me.
>> I mean, probably wrong.
>> You always critique strangers in elevators.
>> Only when the numbers offend me. [snorts]
>> What?
>> Nothing. I just thought you looked like someone who charged people for laughing.
>> We vote now.
>> Um, actually, there's an $80 million liability in the deal.
>> And you are?
>> Adrien Vega, I started today. It's buried in the depreciation notes.
>> Perhaps we let the adults finish.
>> Let him finish.
>> Footnote 9. Meridian guaranteed $80 million to its parent company. The guarantee triggers if ownership changes
>> and acquiring them changes ownership.
>> Exactly.
>> How did we miss this?
>> People skip footer nines.
>> The acquisition is suspended.
>> Mr. Vega, my office.
>> That sounds bad.
>> It might be.
>> So, am I fired?
>> You killed an $80 million acquisition on your first day.
>> That does sound worse when you say it.
>> Everyone in that room missed it.
>> People skip things.
>> You don't.
>> No. Starting today, you report directly to me.
>> Directly?
>> Directly.
>> Is there a buffer version of that?
>> No.
>> Great.
>> Sophia, I heard you killed Meridian.
>> The numbers killed Meridian.
>> And this is
>> Adrien Vega. He found the liability.
>> This guy?
>> Hi.
>> You're trusting him?
>> Apparently.
>> I'm also surprised. Find whoever approved these projections.
>> Found them
>> already.
>> You approved them.
>> You've worked here 3 hours.
>> 2 hours and 47 minutes.
>> Do you always correct your CEO?
>> Only when she's wrong. [gasps and laughter]
>> Give Adrien the Aora launch. The launch that's 48 hours from collapsing. That one.
>> Just checking. Adrien, me. You saved me $80 million today.
>> So, this is a reward?
>> No. Tomorrow, 6:00 a.m.
>> Do you dislike sleep or just me?
>> See you at [music] 6:00.
>> You're early.
>> You're 2 minutes late for your own meeting.
>> Did you go home?
>> Technically.
>> What does technically mean?
>> I changed socks.
>> You finished this?
>> I found three problems. Three.
>> Four. Now,
>> what's the fourth problem?
>> The campaign is spending twice as much on launch events as customer retention.
>> That's intentional.
>> It's also expensive.
>> Luxury requires spectacle.
>> Only if the spectacle sells something.
>> You think my launch is wasteful?
>> I think your launch is beautiful and financially terrifying.
>> Fix it.
>> All of it.
>> Unless you'd like to keep insulting it.
>> I'll fix it.
>> One condition.
>> I knew there was one.
>> Don't make it cheap.
>> I don't do cheap. professionally.
>> Fix the launch your way.
>> You trust me?
>> I trust your numbers.
>> That sounded almost nice.
>> Don't get used to it. She likes you.
>> Sorry.
>> For what?
>> Existing too close.
>> You're allowed to sit near me. Adrien,
>> that feels legally dangerous. [laughter] Julian,
>> I can see I'm interrupting.
>> No, I was just existing.
>> So, this is the genius fixing Aurora.
>> I wouldn't use genius.
>> Good. You cut the launch party by 40%.
>> 43.
>> That party brings every major buyer in Manhattan
>> and costs more than the profit from half of them.
>> Then prove your version makes more money. How long? By noon.
>> That's 4 hours.
>> Problem?
>> No, just wanted to know how long I have to embarrass you. You cut the budget and increased projected sales
>> by 11%.
>> Projected
>> based on confirmed buyer behavior from the last three launches.
>> You checked all three
>> and the cancellations.
>> This actually works.
>> I was hoping for something more dramatic.
>> He was right
>> about one spreadsheet.
>> Four spreadsheets.
>> Sorry.
>> Stop apologizing when you're right. You just saved the Aurora launch.
>> Technically, I saved 11%.
>> Take the compliment.
>> Thank you, ma'am.
>> Don't call me ma'am.
>> Mrs. Jail?
>> No.
>> Boss?
>> Absolutely not.
>> Your majesty. [laughter]
>> Sophia.
>> Sophia.
>> Better.
>> We have a problem. How bad? Our biggest Aurora buyer just canceled.
>> Why?
>> They say the launch date is too late for their holiday window.
>> Adrien,
>> me.
>> Fix it.
>> You're not asking anyone else?
>> No.
>> Move the buyer preview 48 hours earlier.
>> The collection won't be ready.
>> It doesn't need to be.
>> What does that mean?
>> It means we're going to sell them something they can't see yet.
>> That sounds insane. It [music] is, but it'll work.
>> They agreed. The buyer 20 million initial order.
>> Okay, good.
>> Good. You just saved the launch.
>> I mostly moved a meeting.
>> Stop doing that.
>> Doing what?
>> Making what you do sound ordinary. From now on, every major launch crosses your desk before it crosses mine.
>> That sounds like more work.
>> It is.
>> Careful, Sophia. People might start thinking you need him.
>> I do.
>> You said you need me
>> for the company,
>> right? For a second, I thought this was getting emotionally expensive. What does that even mean?
>> I don't know. I panicked. I should probably leave before my mouth gets promoted again. [laughter]
>> What?
>> You laugh a lot more around me.
>> Don't ruin it.
>> Too late.
>> Get out.
>> See? Emotionally expensive.
>> Why is the styling budget this high?
>> Because apparently fabric becomes more valuable when someone famous touches it.
>> That is not how fashion works.
>> Good. Because financially it works like organized crime. You're
>> stuck.
>> Stop what?
>> Making me laugh.
>> I wasn't trying to.
>> That's the problem. So, organized crime, [laughter]
>> fix it
>> legally.
>> Get out.
>> This is the accountant.
>> Financial analyst.
>> That suit says accountant.
>> Your jacket says expensive curtains. [laughter]
>> You like him?
>> No.
>> That was very fast.
>> Adrien,
>> the good news is I can save the campaign.
>> And the bad news?
>> I need to cut 30%.
>> From what?
>> You.
>> I already hate him.
>> Get in line.
>> You are not cutting the clothes.
>> I'm not the models.
>> No.
>> The photographer? No. Then what exactly are you cutting? Three celebrity appearances. Nobody can prove sell anything. Prestige doesn't have a receipt. [laughter]
>> Okay, this is disturbing.
>> What is
>> You've laughed more today than you did at your birthday.
>> Don't pay celebrities to make it look exclusive.
>> Then how do we make it exclusive? Actually make it exclusive.
>> Explain.
>> Invite 40 buyers instead of 400.
>> That's your brilliant idea. Less people?
>> 40 people who can actually buy. Private preview. No cameras. No influencers.
>> Fashion without influencers.
>> I know. Terrifying. [laughter] How much does that save?
>> 32%.
>> 32.
>> And it makes the event harder to get into, so we spend less and maybe people want it more.
>> Rich people hate being excluded.
>> Present company excluded. [laughter]
>> Okay.
>> Okay. What?
>> You can keep the ugly suit. I wasn't aware it was under review.
>> The invitations went out and first 10 buyers accepted. Three others are asking if we can make exceptions.
>> No.
>> Immediately. No.
>> They want in because we told them they can't.
>> You were right.
>> I've been told that's becoming a problem. [laughter]
>> You really like making her laugh.
>> I like remaining employed.
>> Then stop making me laugh.
>> That seems contradictory. [laughter] Why are you all still here?
>> Oh, I'm staying.
>> You need something?
>> No.
>> Oh,
>> I was just checking the campaign.
>> The campaign is over there?
>> Yes.
>> So, you came here to see me?
>> I came to see the campaign,
>> which is over there.
>> Adrien,
>> I'm just locating things.
>> You are becoming very annoying.
>> Is that why you keep coming back?
>> Get back to work.
>> Yes. Sophia,
>> where's Adrien? Finance. Get him for what? The campaign. It's finished. I know. So get Adrien anyway. Maya,
>> you wanted me?
>> Yes. What happened? Nothing.
>> You called me because nothing happened.
>> I wanted your opinion
>> on
>> this.
>> That's the office supply budget.
>> Should I analyze the staples?
>> Stop making me laugh.
>> You called me. Tomorrow night, Valley Luxes preview.
>> I know.
>> Why is he still here?
>> I ask myself that every morning. Your table is finalized.
>> Add Adrien.
>> Add me to what?
>> The preview.
>> The fashion event.
>> Yes.
>> Are there rules?
>> Several.
>> That's concerning.
>> Yes.
>> You're bringing him Sophia. He doesn't belong in that room.
>> Then maybe the room needs to change.
>> You actually wore that. It was this or nudity. [laughter] Keep the suit.
>> You came. You invited me.
>> He's really staying.
>> Yes.
>> Sophia, look around. Gaze darting. He doesn't belong here.
>> He saved the launch you're standing in. Come with me.
>> That looked expensive. What? Your jealousy? Staff usually sits against the wall,
>> right? Adrien, sit here.
>> Sophia,
>> I think I just broke a social rule.
>> Several.
>> Should I leave?
>> No, you're presenting to them, unless you'd prefer the wall.
>> No, I'll present.
>> The original plan spends more money making people want the product than actually getting it into their hands. So, I move 20% into early distribution.
>> And if you're wrong,
>> then you can put me against the wall. But if I'm right, Aurora reaches stores 12 days earlier and earns an additional 9 million.
>> 9 million.
>> 9.4.
>> Of course.
>> Was that terrible? No.
>> How not terrible.
>> You just made everyone in this room forget what you're wearing.
>> That's the nicest insult you've ever given me.
>> That was new.
>> What?
>> Someone looked at you like you belonged here.
>> I think he was looking behind me.
>> There was a wall behind you.
>> Then maybe he respected the wall. Enjoy it. Rooms like this are polite when the numbers are good.
>> And when they're bad, they remember exactly who you are.
>> So do I. And right now you're the man who just made us $9 million.
>> 9.4.
>> See? Impossible.
>> I think they liked me.
>> They liked your numbers. I'll take it.
>> What?
>> Nothing. Who dressed you?
>> I did.
>> That explains everything.
>> You're enjoying this
>> immensely.
>> Interesting. That's never a good word when someone is looking at your face.
>> No, your face is fine. The problem is everything you've done to it.
>> Oh, what? Nothing.
>> Do you own another suit?
>> Yes. What color?
>> Brown.
>> It's a different brown.
>> That's worse.
>> I know. I don't look like I belongs here. Adrien, you found $80 million everyone else missed. You belong wherever your brain takes you.
>> Okay, now I [music] understand. Absolutely nothing.
>> I'll bring you the revised numbers.
>> Thank you.
>> You know I could fix that.
>> Fix what?
>> Hair, glasses, suit, posture.
>> I'm serious. Give me one week.
>> Don't.
>> Why?
>> Because he doesn't need fixing.
>> I forgot this. Obviously,
>> right?
>> I suddenly have somewhere else to be,
>> Nico.
>> Very far away.
>> So,
>> so
>> you really don't think I need fixing?
>> I meant what I said.
>> Even the suit.
>> The suit needs help.
>> I knew there was a catch.
>> But you don't.
>> People don't usually say things like that to me.
>> Maybe you've been around the wrong people.
>> Maybe I should go.
>> Probably.
>> Sophia, thank you.
>> For what? for making today feel less like a mistake.
>> You weren't the mistake.
>> Wow.
>> What?
>> Nothing. You keep saying that because you keep missing it.
>> Missing what?
>> You'll figure it out.
>> Ignore him.
>> I'm trying. You're in trouble.
>> Nico,
>> you're still here.
>> So are you.
>> I own the company.
>> That sounds exhausting.
>> It is.
>> Have you eaten?
>> I had coffee.
>> That's not food. It is in Manhattan.
>> It's anxiety with a lid. You okay?
>> Of course. That wasn't very convincing.
>> No one usually asks twice.
>> I can't.
>> Everyone needs something from me.
>> That's usually how jobs work. Sorry, bad timing.
>> My investors want growth. My board wants certainty. Julian wants
>> What does Sophia want?
>> I don't know.
>> That's allowed.
>> Not when you're CEO.
>> For 5 minutes. You don't have to be.
>> Who am I then?
>> Sophia. So, what happens in 5 minutes?
>> I go back to pretending I know exactly what I'm doing. Do people believe that?
>> Most of them.
>> I don't.
>> That's supposed to make me feel better.
>> Yes. Because I still think you're good at this.
>> Even when I'm scared,
>> especially then.
>> I hate when people see that.
>> I won't tell anyone.
>> Why?
>> Because you trusted me with it.
>> You're strange, Adrien.
>> I've been told.
>> I didn't say it was bad.
>> That might be the nicest thing you've said to me.
>> I told you that you belong here.
>> That was about my brain.
>> What do you think this is about?
>> I mean,
>> I know.
>> I don't do this.
>> Do what?
>> Talk.
>> You talk constantly.
>> Not like this. Then don't worry
>> about what?
>> You're safe with me.
>> I know.
>> What are you doing?
>> Preventing your death.
>> Is that tuna?
>> No onions.
>> How did you know?
>> You complained about onions in the lunch meeting.
>> That was 2 weeks ago.
>> You look offended.
>> You remember everything?
>> Not everything.
>> What do you forget?
>> How to talk when you look at me like that? I meant
>> Don't ruin it.
>> Take off your glasses.
>> What? Your glasses.
>> Why?
>> I'm curious.
>> That's usually how disasters begin.
>> Adrien. [clears throat]
>> Is it bad?
>> No. Different.
>> Good. Different.
>> You have nice eyes.
>> These.
>> Do you have another pair?
>> No. Okay. Experiment over.
>> No.
>> No.
>> I think I'm finally seeing you.
>> That sounds slightly threatening.
>> Why?
>> Because people usually stop looking pretty quickly.
>> Why would they?
>> You know, I'm not exactly the guy people notice. Maybe you're surrounded by people looking at the wrong things.
>> What do you look at?
>> More than I should.
>> Can I ask you something dangerous?
>> You usually do.
>> Why Julian?
>> That is dangerous.
>> You don't have to answer.
>> He made sense.
>> That's romantic.
>> He understood the world I was building.
>> But not you.
>> No. He liked Sophia Val. I'm not sure he ever met Sophia.
>> I have. It's late.
>> That's usually what happens after evening.
>> You should go home,
>> right?
>> Adrien, stay.
>> What?
>> Five more minutes.
>> Five?
>> Maybe 10.
>> That's a dangerous amount of Sophia.
>> You'll survive.
>> Sophia.
>> Yes.
>> I forgot what I was going to say.
>> That's new. You're very distracting.
>> Maybe you should stop talking.
>> That's usually excellent advice.
>> Tell me to stop.
>> I didn't.
>> Of course.
>> You should get that.
>> Bad.
>> Julian. Julian.
>> No. I'm still at the office. No, I'm not alone. Adrienne's here. That's none of your business.
>> He checks on you a lot.
>> He thinks he still gets to.
>> Does he?
>> No. H. Who is it?
>> Someone I used to know.
>> Who is she?
>> You assumed it's a she.
>> Is it?
>> Yes.
>> Ex-girlfriend? No.
>> Someone you dated
>> once? Are you jealous?
>> No.
>> That was very convincing.
>> What does she want?
>> Apparently coffee
>> at midnight
>> tomorrow.
>> Oh.
>> Should I go?
>> Do you want to?
>> No. I'd rather stay here.
>> Then stay. You really don't want to go meet her?
>> No.
>> Why?
>> Because I'm exactly where I want to be. I mean, geographically,
>> of course.
>> Very convenient office.
>> Stopping. Still want me to stop?
>> No, I can't. Can't. What? Want this?
>> You can't want this.
>> That's not what I meant.
>> It sounded pretty specific.
>> You're my employee, Adrien.
>> No, you're right.
>> I'm trying to protect you
>> from what?
>> From people saying you got here because of me.
>> And what would they say about you? Right.
>> No, that's not
>> You don't have to explain.
>> I want to.
>> Maybe tomorrow. Adrien, I wasn't ashamed of you,
>> but you were scared someone might think you wanted me.
>> The revised Aurora numbers.
>> Thank you, Mr. Vega.
>> Of course, Miss Veil,
>> did I interrupt something?
>> No.
>> No.
>> I'll get back to work.
>> What happened?
>> Nothing.
>> Good.
>> Why is that good?
>> Because men like Adrian misunderstand kindness.
>> Be careful.
>> I'm trying to make sure you are.
>> Rough morning. Why? Sophia called you Mr. Vega.
>> You notice everything?
>> Only things that matter. Don't take it personally.
>> I'm not
>> good. Sophia gets close to people when they're useful.
>> Useful.
>> You saved her acquisition, then her launch. She needs your brain.
>> She said she needed me.
>> Adrien, what happened?
>> Can I ask you something?
>> Of course.
>> Why did you keep me?
>> What?
>> After Meridian.
>> Because you were brilliant.
>> And Aurora,
>> because I needed you. You became indispensable. Adrien,
>> right?
>> What does that mean? Nothing. Don't do that.
>> What?
>> Pretend you're fine when you're clearly not.
>> Would you have noticed me if I wasn't useful? That's what I thought.
>> Adrien, wait.
>> The revised projections. Mrs. Veil,
>> stop calling me that.
>> It's your name.
>> Not to you.
>> I thought professional boundaries were important.
>> Should I come back? No.
>> I was leaving.
>> Adrien, we need to talk
>> about the projections.
>> About us?
>> There is no us.
>> That's what you wanted, right?
>> No, that's not what I wanted. We have a serious problem. What? The board wants an emergency meeting.
>> We have a leak.
>> What kind?
>> Confidential aura projections were sent outside the company.
>> To who?
>> A competitor. Do we know where it came from?
>> Yes.
>> Why are you looking at me? The file was accessed from Adrian's credentials.
>> That's impossible.
>> The system log says otherwise. I didn't send anything. I'm sure you didn't mean to.
>> What does that mean?
>> It means maybe giving someone this much access this weekly was a mistake.
>> Do you believe me?
>> Do you believe me?
>> I believe you wouldn't hurt this company.
>> That's not what I asked. Adrian,
>> the board needs facts, not feelings.
>> Stay out of this.
>> I'm trying to protect the company. Did I send that file?
>> I don't know.
>> Okay,
>> Adrien, wait. Until we finish the investigation, access should be suspended. You don't have to suspend it.
>> What are you doing?
>> Making this easier.
>> For who?
>> For you.
>> Adrien, don't walk away.
>> I'm not walking away.
>> Then what are you doing?
>> Standing somewhere. I'm actually trusted.
>> That's unfair.
>> You just told a room full of people you don't know if I betrayed you.
>> I said I don't know what happened.
>> Adrien, you're making this emotional.
>> It became the evidence isn't complete. The login proves his account was used. It does not prove Adrien used it. Then stay.
>> Why?
>> Because I need time to fix this.
>> Need need.
>> Right. You always need me. I just don't think you want me. He'll calm down.
>> Don't Sophia, what? The file was sent at 11:43 last night. So Adrien was with you.
>> His account could have been logged in remotely.
>> It was from inside Valux. Where? The executive guest terminal. Who had access? Executives.
>> Don't look at me like that.
>> How should I look at me?
>> Like someone trying to protect you.
>> Adrien, what? I let him walk out believing I didn't trust him.
>> Adrien, you didn't send the file.
>> I know.
>> I should have known too.
>> Yes.
>> I'm sorry.
>> For the investigation.
>> For doubting you.
>> Which time?
>> Please let me fix this.
>> I can clear your name. My name isn't the problem. You made me feel like I finally belonged here. Then the first time it mattered, you looked at me like everyone else did.
>> Adrien, what are you doing?
>> Resigning.
>> You can't leave.
>> I can.
>> I need you here.
>> There it is again.
>> That's not what I meant. I know.
>> No, you don't.
>> I don't just need your work.
>> That's the problem.
>> What is
>> When it matters, you stop.
>> Adrien, please don't go. I have to.
>> Where is he? He cleared his desk. What? Security saw him leave 10 minutes ago. Call him. I did. And he didn't answer. Sophia, I should have stopped him. You tried? No, I tried to keep my employee. I never told him I wanted Adrien. Then tell him now. What if I'm too late? I found something. What? Adrien's password wasn't used. What do you mean? Someone duplicated his session from the executive guest terminal, so he was framed.
>> Yes.
>> Any news?
>> Actually, yes. We know Adrien didn't do it.
>> Good.
>> I'll keep tracing the logging course. And Maya, find Adrien. What? I already tried. His phone is disconnected and his landlord said he moved out.
>> When? This morning. He's gone. The consultant is here. Which consultant?
>> Adrien.
>> You keep saying my name like you lost me. You look
>> employed.
>> Dangerous.
>> Good morning, Sophia.
>> Oh, you're in trouble.
>> Adrien Julian, what happened to you? I bought a mirror.
>> Why are you here?
>> The board hired me.
>> For what?
>> Independent financial restructuring. You're working for Val Lux again?
>> No, I'm consulting for Val Lux. I'm not your employee anymore.
>> How long?
>> 30 days.
>> And then then I leave. This is the problem. Valet Lugs is spending 12% more than it should.
>> Where?
>> Executive procurement. That's ridiculous. No. Expensive.
>> He's right.
>> Of course he is. That used to bother you less. You used to be different.
>> I am.
>> How different?
>> I don't need this job. I don't need anyone in this room to approve of me. I'm here because I'm good at what I do.
>> You always were.
>> I know. The revised plan. What?
>> I'm still adjusting
>> to the numbers.
>> To you.
>> I'm still me.
>> Not exactly.
>> No glasses, better suit,
>> and this.
>> That took longer. Why did you change?
>> I stopped asking other people what was wrong with me.
>> Did you do any of this because of me?
>> No, I did it because of what happened to me, but not for you.
>> Good.
>> Good.
>> Good. If you had done it for me, I'd hate it.
>> Why?
>> Because I already wanted you before.
>> Before?
>> Yes.
>> Before the suit?
>> Yes.
>> Before the hair?
>> Yes.
>> Before I became dangerous?
>> Unfortunately.
>> Why didn't you tell me?
>> Because I was scared
>> of me.
>> Of what wanting you would change?
>> And now
>> now you might leave in 30 days.
>> I might.
>> And that scares me more.
>> Good.
>> Good. [music] Now you know how I felt.
>> Then why did you come back?
>> For the contract.
>> That's not the whole answer.
>> You got better at reading me.
>> I had 6 weeks to practice.
>> Did you miss me?
>> That's a dangerous question.
>> You seem to like dangerous now.
>> I learned to survive it.
>> You didn't answer.
>> Yes. I missed you.
>> Then why stay away?
>> Because missing you wasn't the problem.
>> What was
>> coming back before I knew I could leave again.
>> Your car is here.
>> Thanks.
>> Car?
>> Yes.
>> Where are you going?
>> Home.
>> That was suspiciously vague. It's usually where people go after work.
>> Are you meeting someone for business?
>> Of course.
>> So
>> So what?
>> Are you?
>> You don't get to know yet.
>> Yet.
>> Good night, Sophia. Try not to miss me.
>> Too late. You know you're jealous, right? I know.
>> Look at you. [music] You've seen me. Not in her building.
>> You knew.
>> Knew what?
>> Where he was?
>> Every day.
>> And you didn't tell me.
>> He asked me not to.
>> You trusted him.
>> He didn't ask me to be useful.
>> So this was you?
>> The suit?
>> Yes.
>> The rest was me. I just stopped him from dressing like an exhausted accountant. I am an exhausted accountant. You really came back different.
>> Different enough.
>> Ask me in 29 days.
>> Dinner.
>> What?
>> Dinner with me?
>> Business?
>> No. Me? Say yes.
>> I used to.
>> Used to what?
>> Say yes whenever you gave me half of what I wanted. I don't do that anymore.
>> What do you want?
>> No more. Almost.
>> Then tell me what that means.
>> It means if you choose me, choose me when it actually cost you something.
>> Fine.
>> Fine.
>> I'll prove it. You wanted me to choose me. Watch me.
>> Sophia,
>> I cleared tonight.
>> Congratulations
>> for dinner. Enjoy with you.
>> Was that in order?
>> No.
>> It sounded like one.
>> Adrien Vega, will you have dinner with me tonight?
>> Better.
>> So, that's a yes.
>> I didn't say that.
>> You're enjoying this
>> a little.
>> You told me to prove it.
>> I did.
>> I'm trying.
>> Then keep trying.
>> 7:00.
>> Maybe.
>> You used to terrify that man. I still do. Not in the same way.
>> You came.
>> It's 7:00.
>> You said maybe.
>> I changed my mind.
>> About dinner.
>> Depends.
>> On what?
>> Whether this is actually dinner or a performance review with food.
>> No work.
>> No numbers.
>> No crisis. Definitely no Julian.
>> That's convincing.
>> Sit, please. Much better.
>> You're going to make me work for everything now, aren't you?
>> Not everything.
>> What's free?
>> My attention.
>> You already have that.
>> So, what did you do for 6 weeks?
>> Slept.
>> That explains the face.
>> No.
>> Then what does?
>> Nico stopped letting me buy my own clothes.
>> You missed that.
>> What?
>> Making me laugh.
>> I missed a lot.
>> Like
>> your coffee.
>> Terrible answer.
>> Your honesty?
>> Better.
>> The way you looked at me before you decided I was dangerous.
>> I always thought you were dangerous.
>> And you still came back.
>> Apparently, I make bad decisions.
>> Maybe one good one.
>> Which one?
>> Coming tonight. Stay.
>> I'm already here. After dinner,
>> for work?
>> No, for me. I'm trying to say this properly.
>> That would be new.
>> I want more time with you
>> tonight.
>> Tomorrow, too. And the day after that. No job, no crisis, no excuse.
>> What are you asking me?
>> I'm asking you to let me chase you.
>> You
>> don't enjoy that too much.
>> Too late.
>> So,
>> catch me. [snorts]
>> Three women asked me about Adrien today. What about him? Whether he's single? What did you say? That I don't manage his love life? You manage everything?
>> Everything. Okay.
>> Apparently, you're popular.
>> Apparently.
>> Three admirers.
>> Only three? Something wrong?
>> No.
>> That sounded dangerous. Are you single?
>> Technically.
>> Technically.
>> You haven't caught me yet.
>> Give me time.
>> 28 days that long. Confidence looks good on you.
>> So does being unavailable.
>> I'm unavailable.
>> You are now.
>> Apparently I'm taken.
>> Apparently
>> I finished tracing the Aurora sleep and the guest terminal was accessed with an executive badge.
>> Who's
>> Julian's?
>> That proves I entered the floor
>> at 11:38.
>> The file was sent at 11:43. Coincidence?
>> Then explain it.
>> I don't answer to consultants.
>> No, you answer to me. And this time I'm listening to him. I found the rest. The leak, the server backup. It shows Julian's badge opened the terminal and his device approved the transfer. Enough for the board. More than enough. Call them. Emergency meeting. 9 tomorrow morning.
>> You really are doing this.
>> I told you. Watch me.
>> And after tomorrow.
>> After tomorrow, I stopped chasing you around my own office.
>> That sounds illegal.
>> No dinner.
>> We already did dinner.
>> Then this time it's [music] a date.
>> You could have lost the company.
>> I know.
>> Because of me.
>> No, because I should have trusted you the first time. You told me to choose you when it cost something.
>> Then what do you want?
>> So I did. That doesn't erase what happened.
>> I know. A chance
>> to do what?
>> To prove that losing you hurt more than losing this company ever could.
>> You're making this [music] difficult.
>> Good. You made me chase you.
>> And
>> I'm not done.
>> You walked in [singing] late [music] with your crooked tie, glasses slipping, trying [singing] to hide. Everybody saw [music] what you weren't. I saw the way your home man [music] worked.
>> Show him your badge opened the guest terminal at 11:38.
>> We already discussed this.
>> Your personal device authorized the file transfer 5 minutes later
>> and the competitor received it 30 seconds after that.
>> You'd believe him over me? No. I believe the evidence
>> after everything I've done for this company.
>> You framed an innocent man
>> to protect you from making a mistake.
>> My mistake was not trusting him sooner.
>> And you're willing to risk Val Lux for him?
>> No. I'm finally done risking him for Val Lux.
>> You think this ends with me walking out?
>> Yes. I have investors on my side.
>> Not anymore. The evidence was sent to legal and the board this morning.
>> You planned this.
>> I learned from my mistakes
>> and him.
>> What about him?
>> You choose him over all of this.
>> I'm not choosing for him anymore. If Adrien stays, it will be because he wants to.
>> And me?
>> Your access is reviewed effective immediately. So
>> So
>> do you want to stay
>> at Vale Lux?
>> With me? No title, no contract. Just tell me what you want. I want to stay, but not because you need me.
>> Not because I'm useful and not as the man you almost chose.
>> Then what?
>> The man you actually choose.
>> I already did.
>> Yesterday?
>> Today, too.
>> And tomorrow?
>> Ask me tomorrow. I'll give you the same answer.
>> Done.
>> For once.
>> That sounds unhealthy.
>> I'm trying something new.
>> What?
>> Leaving work
>> voluntarily.
>> Don't ruin this one real date.
>> We already had dinner
>> in my office. Fair. No board, no crisis, no Julian.
>> Strong selling point.
>> No work at all.
>> What are we supposed to talk about?
>> Us.
>> That sounds terrifying. You came back.
>> Apparently, I like terrifying.
>> 7:00.
>> 7.
>> And Adrien, this one isn't a test.
>> Good. Neither am I.
>> Before we go,
>> what?
>> I owe you something.
>> Dinner.
>> An apology. I should have trusted you. I should have defended you before you had to ask. And when you asked if I wanted you, I was too afraid to say yes.
>> That hurt more than the accusation.
>> I know. I'm sorry, Adrien. Not because you left, because I gave you a reason to. You deserve better from me.
>> I can't change what happened.
>> I'm not asking you to.
>> Good, because I don't want the old version of us back.
>> Neither do I. Then let's see what the new one looks like. No spreadsheets.
>> I promised.
>> No emergency calls.
>> My phone is off.
>> Are you feeling okay?
>> Don't make me regret this.
>> Can I ask you something?
>> Anything.
>> When did you start wanting me?
>> Before the suit.
>> We established that.
>> Before Nico fixed your hair.
>> Painful.
>> Before you knew how to look at me without panicking.
>> When?
>> That's when I started started falling. [music]
>> For the genius?
>> No.
>> For the man who happened to be one.
>> You've been quiet.
>> I'm thinking.
>> That's usually dangerous. You told me when you started falling.
>> I did.
>> You never asked when I did.
>> When?
>> The first time you laughed at something I said and looked surprised that I could make you happy.
>> You remembered that?
>> I remember everything about you,
>> Adrien.
>> Yes.
>> No more almost.
>> Are you sure?
>> Finally.
>> That was better than almost.
>> Much.
>> So, what happens now?
>> You're asking me?
>> You chased me
>> and I caught you.
>> Apparently,
>> Adrien, I need you to know something.
>> I'm listening.
>> I didn't choose you because you came back looking like this. I chose you because when you left everything felt wrong. I spent so much time choosing the company, choosing what people expected. This time I choose you.
>> Good.
>> That's all I get.
>> No, you get me too.
>> Tomorrow.
>> Tomorrow.
>> 24 days left.
>> Actually, I canceled the consulting contract.
>> You're leaving?
>> No, I'm staying
>> at Vay Lux
>> with you.
>> Adrien,
>> you keep saying my name like you lost me.
>> Not anymore.
>> Still think I look dangerous
>> more than ever.
>> Good.
>> And Adrien.
>> Yes. Stop making me chase you.
>> Catch me.
>> You're impossible.
>> You hired me. [music]
>> You walked in [singing] late with your crooked tie, [music] glasses slipping, trying to hide. Everybody saw what you weren't. I saw the way your whole mind worked. You never [music] told me what I wanted to hear. You made me laugh when [music] nobody did.
