00:00:00They say the most primal human things are fighting, and well, I was about to learn both.
00:00:16Every girl wants to find her prince charming, but unfortunately we don't exactly live in
00:00:21a fairy tale world.
00:00:22There's no such thing as happily ever after.
00:00:26Where is the duck for table two?
00:00:29Table two ordered something special, chef.
00:00:32No, table two ordered the special, and the special is the duck.
00:00:37What is this?
00:00:38Nothing.
00:00:39Yes, exactly.
00:00:40This is nothing.
00:00:41Now, the duck.
00:00:42Just do what your boss says, Lily.
00:00:45You can't afford to lose another job.
00:00:47How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?
00:00:51Table two, the duck.
00:00:56So I'm thinking about adopting a dog, you know, like the little tiny dogs that can fit
00:01:00in your handbag.
00:01:01They're so cute.
00:01:02So anyway, once your inheritance is secure, the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:01:07But what is this mystery clause you won't tell us about, Jack?
00:01:12Jack?
00:01:14Jack?
00:01:15Hello?
00:01:17Yeah, the duck.
00:01:21Hi.
00:01:23Hi.
00:01:25Hi.
00:01:30You ordered the special?
00:01:32Actually, I-
00:01:33Trust me.
00:01:35Who is that girl?
00:01:38Something about her.
00:01:39It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:42Wow.
00:01:43That was presumptuous.
00:01:44Huh?
00:01:45The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?
00:01:47Don't tell me you're actually impressed by that little slut, Jack.
00:01:50It looks good.
00:01:51The food, or the waitress?
00:02:02And what do you think you are doing?
00:02:04I'm making something from this century.
00:02:06You know what?
00:02:07That's it.
00:02:08I've had enough.
00:02:09You are fired.
00:02:10Get out of here.
00:02:11Not this again.
00:02:12What did you say?
00:02:13I am serious this time.
00:02:14You are fired.
00:02:15Get out of here.
00:02:16What?
00:02:17You take this.
00:02:18You give up your act.
00:02:19You get out.
00:02:20No, please.
00:02:22It won't happen again.
00:02:23It's no more Mr. Nice Guy this time.
00:02:24You get out.
00:02:25You leave.
00:02:26Please.
00:02:27No.
00:02:28Now.
00:02:29Got it?
00:02:30Fully.
00:02:31Come on.
00:02:32Now.
00:02:33I'm taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:34Yeah.
00:02:35The trash.
00:02:36God.
00:02:37Asshole.
00:02:38No.
00:02:40Please.
00:02:41Shit.
00:02:42Oh, God.
00:02:44Don't scream.
00:02:46Don't scream, baby.
00:02:48Orateste.
00:02:49Scream for me.
00:02:52What is it?
00:02:54I'll tell you.
00:02:57So?
00:02:58I said no.
00:03:01I'm leaving.
00:03:04Get out of here.
00:03:07Hey!
00:03:12NO!
00:03:17NO!
00:03:22Hey wait!
00:03:37Jack, my man, que paso?
00:03:49So I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:52When are you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:53The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:54Yeah.
00:03:55Yeah, come on.
00:03:56Are you even listening?
00:03:57I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:03:58And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:03:59Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:00Um, how can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:14Maybe next time.
00:04:17Thanks.
00:04:18Call me.
00:04:19I'll call you back.
00:04:20Jack, come on.
00:04:21Yeah, you're on lock on me.
00:04:22Jack's never done that before.
00:04:24If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:29We're over.
00:04:30Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:31I've got just the plan.
00:04:32Just when I think I found her, she's gone again.
00:04:33When I think I found her, she's gone again.
00:04:34When I think I found her, she's gone again.
00:04:53How am I going to find her again?
00:05:04You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:06You out of your mind?
00:05:07Vivian and I are done.
00:05:09Never again.
00:05:11She's just business now.
00:05:13Very well, sir.
00:05:15Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:18I'll find another wife.
00:05:19I'm afraid not.
00:05:21The terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:25You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:30I know, I know.
00:05:31And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.
00:05:35The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:38And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.
00:05:44Especially your wife.
00:05:46Or I lose everything.
00:05:47Everything.
00:05:48Everything.
00:05:59Don't complain about anything.
00:06:01I don't complain.
00:06:02I don't.
00:06:03All I'm saying is, you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:06I am living in the real world.
00:06:10Really?
00:06:14Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:18There are creative differences.
00:06:21There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:24Lily, you've got to open up your own place.
00:06:28You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:30So you've got to show the world what you've got.
00:06:33Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:36But without yours, we're never going to be able to afford mom's operation.
00:06:40Yeah, and it'll be all my fault.
00:06:44Lily, there is an opening at my office.
00:06:50Seriously?
00:06:51It's stable.
00:06:53Health insurance.
00:06:54401K.
00:06:55I'd rather die.
00:06:56You'd rather be broke.
00:06:57No, I'd rather...
00:07:05How can you help mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:14Fine, yeah, you're right.
00:07:16Let's do it.
00:07:19Hi.
00:07:25Name?
00:07:31Lily Downing.
00:07:39Can I help you?
00:07:45Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:52My sister's Megan.
00:07:53She works here.
00:07:54Last place of employment?
00:07:55Chez Francois.
00:07:56A restaurant?
00:07:57Yes.
00:07:58I'm a chef.
00:07:59My passion's cooking, so I...
00:08:00And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:01No.
00:08:02No.
00:08:03Of course not.
00:08:04And why do you think someone like you could work here?
00:08:05I just need a job.
00:08:06Sorry, I'm...
00:08:07Thanks.
00:08:08We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:09You can go now.
00:08:10Bye-bye.
00:08:11Ah!
00:08:12Ah!
00:08:13Ah!
00:08:14Ah!
00:08:15Ah!
00:08:16Ah!
00:08:17Ah!
00:08:18Ah!
00:08:19Ah!
00:08:20Ah!
00:08:21Ah!
00:08:22Ah!
00:08:23Ah!
00:08:24Ah!
00:08:25Ah!
00:08:26Ah!
00:08:27Ah!
00:08:28Ah!
00:08:29Ah!
00:08:30Ah!
00:08:31Ah!
00:08:32Ah!
00:08:33Screw this!
00:08:34Fuck.
00:08:35What are you looking at?
00:08:36I'm sorry, Mom.
00:08:37I've tried everything and I've let you down.
00:08:38You?
00:08:39You.
00:08:40You.
00:08:41You.
00:08:42You.
00:08:43You.
00:08:44You.
00:08:45You.
00:08:46You.
00:08:47You.
00:08:48You.
00:08:49You.
00:08:50You.
00:08:51You.
00:08:52You.
00:08:53You.
00:08:54You.
00:08:55You.
00:08:56You.
00:08:57You.
00:08:58You.
00:08:59You.
00:09:00You.
00:09:01You.
00:09:04Me.
00:09:08You dropped something.
00:09:10How did you...
00:09:15What are you doing here?
00:09:17I have a proposition for you.
00:09:19Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:23Well, hold on. Just hear me out.
00:09:25I heard you get fired.
00:09:28I know you don't have any money.
00:09:31Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.
00:09:33I'm doing fine, thank you.
00:09:36Really?
00:09:39What if I told you this proposition could solve all your problems?
00:09:44Really?
00:09:45Solve all my problems?
00:09:48I've got a lot of problems.
00:09:50What if I told you I need a wife?
00:09:52I'd tell you that there are apps for that.
00:09:54For one year.
00:09:55Classy.
00:09:56Look, listen.
00:09:58I have a very important business deal with some very important people involved.
00:10:02And they need to see stability.
00:10:05Okay, so find someone stable.
00:10:07Well, that's just it.
00:10:09I need someone who won't fall in love with me.
00:10:11Someone who will just walk away after the year.
00:10:14And you seem uniquely qualified.
00:10:17I thought you'd think I'm good at walking away.
00:10:20Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:22Well, anything you want.
00:10:24Money.
00:10:25A place to live.
00:10:27Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:30Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:39Wow.
00:10:42Yeah, that's all right.
00:10:44I'll take it.
00:10:45Wow.
00:10:48Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:52It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:11:05You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:07My own wing?
00:11:08Complete privacy.
00:11:10But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:12Play the happy life.
00:11:16Okay.
00:11:34This is, um...
00:11:38Specific.
00:11:40I like clarity.
00:11:46Hm.
00:11:49Wife agrees to perform.
00:11:55Very...
00:11:56Specific.
00:11:58Is there a problem?
00:12:01Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:06What's going on here?
00:12:16I'm saying yes.
00:12:27To everything.
00:12:41Do you...
00:12:43Jack Thorne
00:12:46This is insane.
00:12:48Shut up, boy.
00:12:50Take Lily Dunning
00:12:52to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:54This is fucking nonsense.
00:12:55Shut the fuck up.
00:12:58I do.
00:13:01I now pronounce you
00:13:03husband and wife.
00:13:15I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:46This marriage, it's...
00:13:49It's just a contract.
00:13:55Well...
00:13:58I think that the contract says that
00:14:01this is my room.
00:14:10But...
00:14:12Good night, husband.
00:14:13Good night, husband.
00:14:25And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:29And the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:31And the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:43And we have the West Wing library
00:14:46and the East Wing pool.
00:14:51How do you find anything in here?
00:14:53One of ducks, madam.
00:15:02And this room is the...
00:15:07Oh, dear.
00:15:10Would you excuse me?
00:15:11Of course.
00:15:12Apologies.
00:15:31What are you doing here?
00:16:01Oh, my gosh.
00:16:12Oh, my gosh.
00:16:18Problem?
00:16:21This is...
00:16:23a lot.
00:16:25The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions,
00:16:28including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:31I can't accept this.
00:16:32You can.
00:16:33And you will.
00:16:35Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:42You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:45Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:58Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:17:01Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:15And then I said,
00:17:16do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:18I don't need a knife.
00:17:19I need a chainsaw.
00:17:20Okay.
00:17:22Jackie, there you are.
00:17:25Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:27We simply must celebrate.
00:17:30Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:33That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:37I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:45My God.
00:17:46This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:49I'm sorry, but I didn't...
00:17:50I didn't even...
00:17:52do anything.
00:17:53Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:54Waitstaff Training School?
00:17:56Vivian.
00:17:59Oh, that was it.
00:18:00She was actually a waitress.
00:18:02Or...
00:18:03I don't remember.
00:18:04Whatever it was.
00:18:06Excuse me.
00:18:09So...
00:18:10what you got to say, Hive?
00:18:12We're done with the ex.
00:18:18As I was saying...
00:18:29Hmm.
00:18:44You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:19:00Hmm.
00:19:11Wow.
00:19:13Good?
00:19:14Surprisingly good.
00:19:15Surprisingly good?
00:19:19Well, payment for spying.
00:19:22Payment accepted.
00:19:23You know...
00:19:25a house this grand, I would expect...
00:19:28a kitchen to match.
00:19:33I had to make do.
00:19:34Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:36Hmm.
00:19:37It's a shame.
00:19:46You can go now.
00:19:58Okay.
00:20:03You, um...
00:20:05wanted to see me.
00:20:07Time for your first lesson.
00:20:09My what?
00:20:15Self-defense.
00:20:17Never know when you might need it.
00:20:19I don't know if that's really...
00:20:20Number one.
00:20:21Stance.
00:20:24Move the feet apart.
00:20:26Bend this knee.
00:20:28Then move this foot forward.
00:20:31Good.
00:20:32Okay.
00:20:33Now, hands up.
00:20:35Protect the face.
00:20:37Okay.
00:20:38Now...
00:20:39like this.
00:20:40Oh, God.
00:20:46I'm not really good at this.
00:20:50We're just getting started.
00:20:52Oh.
00:20:54Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:57Rule number one.
00:21:00Stance.
00:21:02Right?
00:21:27Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:30I, um...
00:21:32a business expense?
00:21:35Business expense.
00:21:38These are...
00:21:40the best knives in the market.
00:21:42The best knives to the best chef.
00:21:47Why are you doing this?
00:21:49The contract.
00:21:50No.
00:21:52The real reason.
00:21:53Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:21:57Maybe...
00:22:00you just like watching me.
00:22:05You know, that, um...
00:22:08this doesn't change anything.
00:22:10Of course not.
00:22:17This is for your mother.
00:22:19I'm sorry.
00:22:21This is for your mother.
00:22:27The...
00:22:28No, this is too much.
00:22:29It should cover the whole thing.
00:22:33At least I can do it.
00:22:37I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
00:22:41What's the catch?
00:22:51Oh, shit.
00:22:55We've got a problem.
00:22:56Morning to you, too.
00:22:58So, the inheritance release date is set, but...
00:23:01if anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:23:02No one's gonna find out.
00:23:04Oh, really?
00:23:05Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:23:07It's under control.
00:23:09Is it?
00:23:12Because it seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...
00:23:14I said it's handled.
00:23:21Hey.
00:23:27Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:29This Morrison deal...
00:23:32is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:36Don't tell me you're actually fooling...
00:23:37Get out.
00:23:50Get out.
00:24:20Get out.
00:24:21Get out.
00:24:51Oh, no.
00:24:53God.
00:25:20Jack.
00:25:21Darling.
00:25:22Fancy seeing you here.
00:25:24Vivian?
00:25:25The 82 crystal.
00:25:27Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:30I can still feel it running down my back, just thinking about it.
00:25:33We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:36Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:38You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:42I don't know.
00:25:43I don't know.
00:25:45I don't know.
00:25:46I don't know.
00:25:47I don't know.
00:25:48I don't know.
00:25:50Oh.
00:25:51Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:53This must be so boring for you.
00:25:56It's time for Vivian.
00:25:58You do bore me.
00:26:00Darling.
00:26:01The adults have business to discuss.
00:26:03Why don't you go back to, like, chopping?
00:26:05Or whatever it is that you do.
00:26:08So, basically, you know the company way that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:11I had a business meeting with Hannah today.
00:26:13And she has basically advised me to say that our investments are not making any profit.
00:26:17Because me, myself, isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:20So, my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:39Quite the whirlwind romance you've got there.
00:26:42What's the catch?
00:26:44There's always a catch.
00:26:45Excuse me.
00:26:46Rebecca Chen.
00:26:48Social pages.
00:26:49Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:53This must be some kind of record.
00:26:55Though lately I've been more interested in business deals.
00:27:00Hmm.
00:27:01What would you say?
00:27:03Love at first sight?
00:27:05Or something more contractual?
00:27:07You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:10Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:13We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:16I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:28Well, the Morrison Foundation dinner's tonight.
00:27:30Oh, great.
00:27:31Another dinner.
00:27:32It's important.
00:27:33They're all important.
00:27:35It's a part of the deal.
00:27:37They're all a part of the deal?
00:27:38You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:40Did I?
00:27:44At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:46To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:51Whatever.
00:28:09Nice.
00:28:10Real mature.
00:28:14No, don't.
00:28:18Okay.
00:28:19Okay, fine.
00:28:21You wanna go?
00:28:22Nope.
00:28:25No, no, please.
00:28:30Okay, go ahead.
00:28:31No, no, no.
00:28:32Yeah?
00:28:33No, no, no, no.
00:28:35Let go!
00:28:36Yum.
00:28:37Ah!
00:28:38Yum.
00:28:39Ah!
00:28:40Ah!
00:28:41What happened?
00:28:42Ah!
00:29:07Yeah.
00:29:13So, Jack's inheritance is all set.
00:29:16But he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:20That's a problem.
00:29:22Hmm.
00:29:23It's the girl, isn't it?
00:29:25The waitress.
00:29:26You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:29And I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:31No, I've done my part.
00:29:32That's under way.
00:29:34And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:38I have everything under control.
00:29:40Oh, really?
00:29:41Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.
00:29:43You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack.
00:29:46You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:48I've just begun.
00:29:53I've got it.
00:29:57I've got it.
00:29:59I've got it.
00:30:00I've got it.
00:30:11Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:30:15I live here.
00:30:17Of course you do.
00:30:19Okay, thanks.
00:30:22Jack, darling.
00:30:24Should we proceed to the study?
00:30:26We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:33Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:40Vivian?
00:30:43Remember Tokyo?
00:30:45That sake bar?
00:30:47I'm married.
00:30:49Oh, you know.
00:30:52I hadn't noticed.
00:30:54Uh-huh.
00:30:56You know that feeling
00:30:57when you leave the house
00:30:59and you just feel like
00:31:01you've forgotten something?
00:31:11I forgot something.
00:31:14Maybe you can
00:31:17help me figure it out?
00:31:22Coffee?
00:31:24Oh, no thank you.
00:31:27Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:30Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:33Do you, Jack?
00:31:35Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:37I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:40And he just absolutely laps up
00:31:44every drop
00:31:46of my coffee.
00:31:49Isn't that right?
00:31:51Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:58So.
00:32:01How's Vivian?
00:32:03Focus on your form.
00:32:05You know, I was just wondering.
00:32:07How long with two of you?
00:32:09Ancient history.
00:32:11That's not what I heard.
00:32:13From who?
00:32:15Around.
00:32:17Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:19You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:21You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:23That's business.
00:32:25Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:30But you know what?
00:32:33What's this?
00:32:36Some pretty big business
00:32:38that you haven't been sharing with me.
00:32:41I think Vivian wants some of it too.
00:32:44But you know what?
00:32:47Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:51Sad.
00:32:52Watch your stance.
00:32:58I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:01I'm not lying, Lily.
00:33:05Don't break my heart.
00:33:08Yeah.
00:33:22I love you.
00:33:44Yeah, the sky is so gray today.
00:33:46I hate it so much.
00:33:48Please act like you know me.
00:33:50There's someone following me.
00:33:52That weirdo?
00:33:59Is he gone?
00:34:01I think he's gone.
00:34:10You sure?
00:34:18Like that?
00:34:22I think your technique could use some work.
00:34:25They got the dota rights.
00:34:29You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:50What?
00:34:53Of course.
00:34:55And I think the real challenge is
00:34:57market penetration in emerging economies.
00:35:00I'm sure Jax brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:35:04Actually, I...
00:35:06Tell me.
00:35:08What's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:10I think...
00:35:13No comment?
00:35:15How surprising.
00:35:17Excuse me.
00:35:19Great thinking, Lily.
00:35:20All of our drinks could use a refill.
00:35:44Love you.
00:35:51But this thing isn't going to last forever, Jack.
00:35:54I don't know.
00:35:56I mean, what choice do you have?
00:35:58Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:36:00Unless you want to lose this deal forever.
00:36:05Lunch?
00:36:08I was just on my way out.
00:36:13Think about it, Jack.
00:36:21What was that about?
00:36:23Nothing.
00:36:25Just business.
00:36:27Just business.
00:36:29Of course.
00:36:31Lily, wait.
00:36:36What do you want, Jack?
00:36:50I'm taking you on a holiday.
00:36:52What?
00:36:54You have time for that?
00:36:56A lot of time.
00:36:59Just us?
00:37:01I know what I want.
00:37:06Oh, what about, um...
00:37:08What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:10That could wait.
00:37:12I'll be back.
00:37:14I'll be back.
00:37:16I'll be back.
00:37:18I'll be back.
00:37:21There she is.
00:37:23What?
00:37:25That smile.
00:37:27It's the one you had when I first laid eyes on you.
00:37:30I'll never forget it.
00:37:32You know that I don't just, um...
00:37:34serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:36Really?
00:37:42I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.
00:37:45I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.
00:37:47Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:49I see.
00:37:53Would you like me to cancel the trips?
00:37:57Yeah.
00:37:59Very good.
00:38:01Who sent the message?
00:38:03They didn't chase her.
00:38:08Lily, I'm sorry.
00:38:10Don't.
00:38:11Please.
00:38:12It's just business.
00:38:13It's business, yeah.
00:38:14I get it.
00:38:17I get it.
00:38:25Lily, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:27Just shut up and...
00:38:29taste this.
00:38:39Mmm.
00:38:40This tastes, uh...
00:38:41Incredible?
00:38:42Yeah.
00:38:43Yeah, I know.
00:38:47Jack?
00:38:48Mm-hmm?
00:38:50Do you want more?
00:38:52Um...
00:38:53After this one?
00:38:54No.
00:38:56Uh...
00:38:57Jack?
00:39:00Talking about us.
00:39:07How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:18Oh!
00:39:19Oh, my God.
00:39:22What was that?
00:39:31Any enemies?
00:39:33Business rivals?
00:39:35No one comes to mind.
00:39:37Security cameras?
00:39:40Being installed as we speak.
00:39:42Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:44Sorry.
00:39:47That's all I saw.
00:39:52I'm ruined.
00:39:53You okay?
00:39:55Yeah.
00:40:13Yeah.
00:40:17This is so insane.
00:40:21It's probably just kids.
00:40:22Kids?
00:40:24Seriously.
00:40:26Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:27Oh, sorry.
00:40:29What, are you afraid that someone's gonna hear...
00:40:32about our perfect marriage?
00:40:42What are you hiding from me?
00:40:47Hey.
00:40:49Hey, you know that secret room...
00:40:52that you did it on me the other night?
00:40:56I found it.
00:40:59Yeah?
00:41:04Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:07Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:13Do you wanna see it?
00:41:15Show me.
00:41:37Most people run.
00:41:39I'm not most people.
00:41:44So...
00:41:47this is what you're into?
00:41:49Among other things.
00:41:51And all of those...
00:41:54specific requirements?
00:41:57We're about to scare you off.
00:41:59I'm not scared of you.
00:42:01I'm not scared of you.
00:42:03I'm not scared of you.
00:42:04Specific requirements?
00:42:05We're about to scare you off.
00:42:07I don't scare you, Sam.
00:42:09I'm starting to get that.
00:42:16Show me.
00:42:18Are you sure?
00:42:20Are you?
00:42:34Okay.
00:42:54Okay.
00:43:00So?
00:43:02So...
00:43:09Sir, Miss Chase is here.
00:43:11She says it's urgent.
00:43:13Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there.
00:43:16Final deal points.
00:43:17Jack's leaving in 30.
00:43:18I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:23Lily, wait.
00:43:26Just go.
00:43:31Go.
00:43:59Lily, I can explain.
00:44:02Can you?
00:44:06Guess some business can't wait.
00:44:17This whole thing is...
00:44:19Let me get this straight.
00:44:21You sleep with him,
00:44:22and then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:24It's complicated.
00:44:26When isn't it with you?
00:44:28Look,
00:44:29maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:31What? A mistake?
00:44:33That you were right?
00:44:35Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:37No. I want you to be happy.
00:44:40And are you?
00:44:43I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:45I mean, he paid for Mom's operation, so that's cool, but...
00:44:48I know.
00:44:49And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for...
00:44:52Lily?
00:44:54Stand back.
00:44:55What?
00:44:56Stand back, Megan.
00:45:01Kid, kid, kid, kid, kid.
00:45:03Lily!
00:45:08Get your hands off!
00:45:09Go, motherfucker!
00:45:10Fucker!
00:45:11Oh my God!
00:45:13Fuck you!
00:45:15Come on, let's go.
00:45:17Lily!
00:45:19Lily!
00:45:22Fuck.
00:45:26What was that?
00:45:28Lessons with Jack.
00:45:30Jack taught you that?
00:45:31Yeah.
00:45:33Dude's getting better by a minute.
00:45:35I know.
00:45:40You okay?
00:45:41Yeah.
00:45:43God, things were supposed to be so simple.
00:45:47Now what?
00:45:49I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:52Oh, honey.
00:45:53Kid.
00:45:55Oh my God.
00:46:21He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:25Yeah.
00:46:35Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:38How could you?
00:46:4411 months.
00:46:46Almost a year.
00:46:49I barely knew limits anymore.
00:46:55Lily.
00:47:04Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:47:06I'm all ears.
00:47:08It's about the deal.
00:47:09About Lauren, Vivian.
00:47:11Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:14Oh, great.
00:47:16The press.
00:47:25Then these aren't real.
00:47:27Oh, my sisters say they're very real.
00:47:30Story runs in 48 hours.
00:47:32Lily, this is what I was just about to tell you.
00:47:34I've been set up.
00:47:38Care to comment, Mr. Thorne?
00:47:41You know, it's funny.
00:47:43For a minute, I really believed.
00:47:47Lily, wait.
00:47:50They're not real!
00:47:51They're not real!
00:47:53Tick tock, Mr. Thorne.
00:48:05Lily, wait.
00:48:08They're not real.
00:48:10You have to believe me.
00:48:11Like I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal?
00:48:15Like I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague?
00:48:18Like I believed that last night actually meant something?
00:48:21It did.
00:48:23Lily, what happened between us was-
00:48:24The transaction.
00:48:26That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:29That's not true.
00:48:30And you know it.
00:48:31Do I?
00:48:34Because from where I'm standing,
00:48:36you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:38You got a wife when you needed one,
00:48:40and a body when you wanted one.
00:48:42Lily, that's not it.
00:48:43Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:44Tell me that there's not something more going on here,
00:48:46with the business deal and your inheritance.
00:48:50Anything more to explain?
00:48:58That's what I thought.
00:49:03You're a terrible person.
00:49:06If you leave now, you violate the contract.
00:49:09You get nothing back.
00:49:10If you leave now, you violate the contract.
00:49:13You get nothing.
00:49:15I don't care.
00:49:19I never cared about any of that.
00:49:20I never cared about any of that.
00:49:40Hands up.
00:49:41Protect the face.
00:49:43No, don't.
00:49:46Go?
00:49:47No.
00:49:50No.
00:49:56Warren?
00:49:57Finally, look.
00:49:58About the Morrison deal.
00:50:00It's off.
00:50:01What do you mean, it's off?
00:50:02All of it.
00:50:04The deal, the inheritance.
00:50:06I don't want any of it.
00:50:07Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:09I mean, everything that we've worked for.
00:50:11Actually...
00:50:15I think I've found it.
00:50:20I think I've found it.
00:50:21I think I've found it.
00:50:48You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:50Watch me.
00:51:03Hey.
00:51:04What happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:08The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:11She played.
00:51:12Did she?
00:51:18If that's Jack...
00:51:19I'm sure that's just my oxygenarian neighbor who's a total drama queen.
00:51:23Watch.
00:51:25Gladys?
00:51:28Gladys, is that you?
00:51:30Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:38Sir.
00:51:40Coffee.
00:51:41Hi.
00:51:42I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:45You might want to see this.
00:51:50What am I looking at here?
00:51:52Wire transfers, shell companies.
00:51:55All leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:58More.
00:51:59I knew it!
00:52:00You might want to see these too, sir.
00:52:02They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:08Son of a bitch.
00:52:10He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:11He sure is.
00:52:13All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:52:16Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial.
00:52:32Sir?
00:52:33They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:35Then perhaps it's time we stopped playing their game.
00:52:39Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:41Every meeting, every call.
00:52:42Already compiled, sir.
00:52:43I have a feeling we might need this.
00:52:45Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:47Some things are worth more than money.
00:53:02You're calling back, Megan?
00:53:12Fuck.
00:53:15Fuck.
00:53:46Oh, my God.
00:53:50Think.
00:53:53I got us into this.
00:53:55I can get us out of this.
00:53:56Oh, I can do this.
00:53:58Oh, I can do this.
00:54:00Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.
00:54:05And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:54:08If anything happens to her...
00:54:09That's up to you.
00:54:12Sign the papers.
00:54:15And this all goes away.
00:54:18Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.
00:54:24Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:54:28Don't they?
00:54:29I always knew you were soft.
00:54:31But this?
00:54:32Throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef.
00:54:36He's not throwing it away.
00:54:38He's giving it to us.
00:54:41All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:45You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:48Always have.
00:54:52I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:57Wait.
00:55:16Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:22Remember your training.
00:55:25Protect your face.
00:55:30Megan!
00:55:31Lily!
00:55:35Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:38Come on.
00:55:40Come on.
00:55:46Of course it's a trap.
00:55:49The question is...
00:55:52What are you going to do about it?
00:55:54Lily!
00:55:58I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:56:01Room 115.
00:56:02Lauren's called the police.
00:56:03Already done.
00:56:04But sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:07She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:10No, no, no, no.
00:56:14Lauren, she's there.
00:56:15Lily's there.
00:56:20Hold on, Lily.
00:56:21Hold on.
00:56:39Leave her alone.
00:56:40Shut up!
00:56:43Get away from my wife.
00:56:44Well, well.
00:56:46Our hero arrives.
00:56:49Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:54I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:57That's my girl.
00:57:05Oh.
00:57:07I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:10Look.
00:57:18That's for my sister.
00:57:20You son of a bitch.
00:57:27Lily.
00:57:28About everything.
00:57:30The photos.
00:57:31Vivian.
00:57:33Now? Seriously?
00:57:34I love you.
00:57:36Not for any inheritance.
00:57:38Not for any deal.
00:57:40Just...
00:57:42you.
00:57:45I know.
00:57:54You, stay right there.
00:57:56Come on, cover me.
00:58:06What the hell?
00:58:11This isn't...
00:58:12...possible?
00:58:16And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.
00:58:18Sign the papers.
00:58:19Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:21That proves nothing.
00:58:22I think it might prove something.
00:58:24Yeah, and those photos that you planted?
00:58:26Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:28You can't.
00:58:29Yes, they can.
00:58:30And you two aren't alone.
00:58:33You can.
00:58:34And you two are under arrest.
00:58:39You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:40The inheritance, the...
00:58:41...are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:43You care about it all, Jack.
00:58:47I do.
00:58:55Yes, thank you.
00:58:56Thanks.
00:58:58Now that's a story.
00:59:04Here to twist the knife?
00:59:05Actually...
00:59:07...I'm here to get it right.
00:59:10Where did you...?
00:59:11Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:13Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:17So...
00:59:18...no scandal piece?
00:59:19Oh, there's definitely a scandal.
00:59:22But...
00:59:23...there's definitely a scandal.
00:59:25But...
00:59:26...not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:30That's...
00:59:32...actually accurate.
00:59:33I'm a reporter.
00:59:35Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:37Though I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:41Yeah, neither did I.
00:59:44Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:46Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:54Wow.
00:59:56But what about the inheritance?
00:59:57Do you really think that I care about any of that now?
01:00:04Just take me home.
01:00:07Yes, dear.
01:00:16Sun's coming up.
01:00:18Must be a new record.
01:00:21It is for me.
01:00:22Oh.
01:00:23Any regrets?
01:00:26Only one.
01:00:29That didn't get your chef's special sooner.
01:00:31Could have saved us a lot of trouble.
01:00:33Yeah.
01:00:34Yeah.
01:00:38Excuse me, sir.
01:00:39Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:41How bad is it?
01:00:42Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:45She's included the last bit you wanted put in.
01:00:53Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:00:55In a shocking turn of events,
01:00:57tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans
01:00:59to transform his inherited fortune
01:01:01into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:05Surprised?
01:01:08But your... your inheritance is gone.
01:01:12My inheritance, yeah.
01:01:14It turns out it's only an inheritance.
01:01:16I'm sorry.
01:01:17I'm sorry.
01:01:18I'm sorry.
01:01:19I'm sorry.
01:01:21It turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:23You sold the company?
01:01:25It turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:36My turn.
01:01:37Ow!
01:01:44Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:45Keep them thin, okay? Just like that.
01:01:51Thanks.
01:02:02This looks good on you.
01:02:05And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:09Suckers.
01:02:10Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:13Depends.
01:02:15Did my wife make it?
01:02:16The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:19Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:27Hang on.
01:02:35Voila.
01:02:40I'm the best chef in town.
01:02:43You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:47I think that contract expired.
01:02:50Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:59We are gathered here today...
01:03:00No more business deals this time?
01:03:03Just love.
01:03:04Good.
01:03:06Because I have some terms off my own.
01:03:10First, you have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:13Done.
01:03:14Done.
01:03:16Second, no more locked rooms.
01:03:20Without me in it.
01:03:24Is that all?
01:03:26Third, you have to mean it this time.
01:03:29I meant it the first time.
01:03:31Just didn't know yet.
01:03:34The rings?
01:03:35Actually...
01:03:42Is that...
01:03:43Old?
01:03:44Something new?
01:03:45Something borrowed?
01:03:47Something...
01:03:49Not mine.
01:03:57For better or worse...
01:04:00For real this time.
01:04:03You make us the bride.
01:04:14So...
01:04:16Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:19What are you...
01:04:23Lauren, tell me back.
01:04:30Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:34I don't know...
01:04:35Mr. Thorne.
01:04:37Can you handle them?
01:04:39I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:42How about you just shut up...
01:04:44And kiss your wife?
01:05:07Ah!
