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.
00:00:23There'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.
00:00:42The duck.
00:00:43Just 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?
00:01:11Jack?
00:01:13Jack?
00:01:15Hello?
00:01:17Yeah, the dog.
00:01:21Hi.
00:01:24Hi.
00:01:29You ordered the special?
00:01:31Actually, I-
00:01:33Trust me.
00:01:34Who is that girl?
00:01:37Something about her.
00:01:39It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:41Well, that was presumptuous.
00:01:43Huh?
00:01:44The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?
00:01:46Don't tell me you're actually impressed by that little slut, Jack.
00:01:49It looks good.
00:01:51The food or the waitress?
00:02:01And what do you think you are doing?
00:02:03I'm making something from this century.
00:02:05You know what?
00:02:06That's it.
00:02:07I've had enough.
00:02:08You are fired.
00:02:09Get out of here.
00:02:10Not this again.
00:02:11What did you say?
00:02:13I am serious this time.
00:02:15You are fired.
00:02:16You get out of here.
00:02:17What?
00:02:18You take this.
00:02:19You give up your act.
00:02:20Get out.
00:02:21No, please, sir.
00:02:22It won't happen again.
00:02:23No more Mr. Nice Guy this time.
00:02:24You get out.
00:02:25You leave.
00:02:26Please.
00:02:27No.
00:02:28Now.
00:02:31They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:36Yeah, the trash.
00:02:41Asshole.
00:02:51Please.
00:02:52Don't scream.
00:02:53Don't scream, baby.
00:02:55Or do you want to scream for me?
00:02:57Please.
00:03:02Hey.
00:03:06No.
00:03:07No.
00:03:08No.
00:03:10No.
00:03:11No.
00:03:12No.
00:03:13No.
00:03:14No.
00:03:15No.
00:03:16No.
00:03:17No.
00:03:18No.
00:03:20Hey, wait.
00:03:43Not now, weren't I?
00:03:46Jack, my man.
00:03:47Que paso?
00:03:49How's it going?
00:03:50I'm sorry.
00:03:51I'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, are you even listening?
00:03:56I mean if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:03:57And I mean I'm not going to be that guy.
00:03:58Are you going to be that guy?
00:03:59How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:00Maybe next time.
00:04:01Maybe next time.
00:04:02Where am I?
00:04:03Where am I?
00:04:04Where am I?
00:04:05Where am I?
00:04:06I don't know.
00:04:07I just don't know.
00:04:08How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:09I don't know.
00:04:10I just don't know.
00:04:11And I can't even afford something to eat.
00:04:14Maybe next time.
00:04:17Thanks.
00:04:19Call me.
00:04:20I'll call you back.
00:04:21Jack, come on.
00:04:22He hung up on me.
00:04:23Jack's never done that before.
00:04:25If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then...
00:04:29The Morrison deal's over.
00:04:31We're over.
00:04:33Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:36I've got just the plan.
00:04:42Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:53How am I going to find her again?
00:05:01You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:04Are you out of your mind?
00:05:05Vivian and I are done.
00:05:06Never again.
00:05:08She's just...
00:05:10She's just... business now.
00:05:12Very well, sir.
00:05:14Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:17I'll find another way.
00:05:19I'm afraid not.
00:05:20But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:24You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:29I know, I know.
00:05:30And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.
00:05:34The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:36And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.
00:05:42Especially your wife.
00:05:44Or I lose everything.
00:05:46Everything.
00:05:57Don't complain about anything.
00:05:59I don't complain. I don't.
00:06:01All I'm saying is, you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:04I am living in the real world.
00:06:12Really?
00:06:13Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:16Creative... differences.
00:06:19There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:23Lily.
00:06:25You gotta open up your own place.
00:06:27You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:29So you gotta show the world what you got.
00:06:31Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:34But without yours, we're never going to be able to afford mom's operation.
00:06:39Yeah, and it'll be all my fault.
00:06:42Lily.
00:06:45There is an opening at my office.
00:06:48Seriously?
00:06:50It's stable.
00:06:51Health insurance. 401K.
00:06:53I'd rather die.
00:06:54You'd rather be broke.
00:06:55No, I'd rather...
00:07:02How can you help mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:11Fine. Yeah, you're right.
00:07:14Let's do it.
00:07:31Hi.
00:07:41Hi.
00:07:44Name?
00:07:46Lily Dunning.
00:07:47Can I help you?
00:07:49Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:51My sister's Megan.
00:07:52She works here.
00:07:54Last place of employment?
00:07:56Chez Francois.
00:07:58A restaurant?
00:07:59Yes, I'm a chef.
00:08:01My passion's cooking, so I...
00:08:03And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:05No.
00:08:07No, of course not.
00:08:09And why do you think someone like you could work here?
00:08:14I just need a job.
00:08:17Sorry, I'm...
00:08:18Thanks.
00:08:19We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:23You can go now.
00:08:24Bye-bye.
00:08:29Fuck.
00:08:34Screw this.
00:08:38Fuck.
00:08:48What are you looking at?
00:08:57I'm sorry, mom.
00:08:58I've tried everything, and I've let you down.
00:09:00You?
00:09:04Me.
00:09:08You dropped something.
00:09:10How did you...?
00:09:14What 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? Solve 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.
00:09:57I have a very important business deal,
00:09:59with some very important people involved,
00:10:01and I need to see stability.
00:10:04Okay, so find someone stable.
00:10:06Well, that's just it.
00:10:08I need someone who won't fall in love with me.
00:10:10Someone who will just walk away after the year.
00:10:13And you seem uniquely qualified.
00:10:17What, you 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, a place to live,
00:10:26complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:29Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:39Wow.
00:10:42Yeah, that's a really big deal.
00:10:45Wow.
00:10:47Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:51It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:11:04You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:06My own wing?
00:11:07Complete privacy.
00:11:09But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:11Play the happy wife.
00:11:15Okay.
00:11:34This is, um...
00:11:38specific.
00:11:39I like clarity.
00:11:46Hm.
00:11:49Wife agrees to perform.
00:11:54Very...
00:11:56specific.
00:11:58Is there a problem?
00:12:01Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:05What's going on here?
00:12:16I'm saying yes.
00:12:27To everything.
00:12:41Do you, Jack Thorne,
00:12:46This is insane.
00:12:47Shut up, boy.
00:12:49take Lily Dunning to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:53This is fucking nuts.
00:12:54Shut the fuck up.
00:12:57I do.
00:13:00I now pronounce you husband 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...
00:13:57I 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.
00:14:31The kitchen.
00:14:43And we have the west wing library
00:14:45and the east wing pool.
00:14:50How 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.
00:16:11Oh, my gosh.
00:16:17Problem?
00:16:20This is...
00:16:22a lot.
00:16:24The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions,
00:16:27including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:30I can't accept this.
00:16:31You can.
00:16:32And you will.
00:16:34Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:42You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:44Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:46Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:48Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:01Hi.
00:17:06And then I see you.
00:17:07And I see you.
00:17:08And I see you.
00:17:10And I see you.
00:17:11And I see you.
00:17:12And I see you.
00:17:13And I see you.
00:17:14And then I said,
00:17:15do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:17I don't need a knife.
00:17:18I need a chainsaw.
00:17:19Oh, okay.
00:17:21Jackie, there you are.
00:17:24Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:26We simply must celebrate.
00:17:29Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:32That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:36I can think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:44My God, this is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:48I'm sorry, but I didn't even do anything.
00:17:52Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:54Waitstaff Training School?
00:17:56Vivian.
00:17:58Oh, that was it.
00:18:00She was actually a waitress.
00:18:02Or, I don't remember.
00:18:04Whatever it was.
00:18:06Excuse me.
00:18:09So, what you got to say?
00:18:12Watch out for the axe.
00:18:18So, as I was saying...
00:18:42You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:46Wow.
00:19:10Wow.
00:19:12Good?
00:19:13Surprisingly good.
00:19:14Surprisingly good?
00:19:15Surprisingly good.
00:19:18Well, payment for spying.
00:19:21Payment accepted.
00:19:23You know, a house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:32I had to make do.
00:19:34Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:36It's a shame.
00:19:45You can go now.
00:20:02You, um, wanted to see me?
00:20:06Time for your first lesson.
00:20:08My what?
00:20:14Self-defense.
00:20:16Never know when you might need it.
00:20:18I don't know if that's really...
00:20:19Number one.
00:20:20Stance.
00:20:23Move the feet apart.
00:20:25Bend this knee.
00:20:27Yep.
00:20:28Then move this foot forward.
00:20:30Good.
00:20:31Okay.
00:20:32Now, hands up.
00:20:34Protect the face.
00:20:36Okay.
00:20:38Now, like this.
00:20:40Oh, God, sorry.
00:20:45I'm not really good at this.
00:20:49We're just getting started.
00:20:51Oh.
00:20:53Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:57Rule number one.
00:20:59Stance.
00:21:01Right?
00:21:14Okay.
00:21:31Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:33I, um...
00:21:35A business expense?
00:21:38Business expense.
00:21:40These are...
00:21:42The best knives in the market.
00:21:44The best knives to the best chef?
00:21:49Why are you doing this?
00:21:51The contract.
00:21:52No.
00:21:54The real reason.
00:21:56Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:22:01Maybe...
00:22:04You just like watching me.
00:22:09You know that, um...
00:22:12This doesn't change anything.
00:22:14Of course not.
00:22:20This is for your mother.
00:22:27The...
00:22:28No, this is too much.
00:22:29This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:32At least I can do it.
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?
00:22:54We've got a problem.
00:22:56Morning to you, too.
00:22:57So, the inheritance release date is set, but...
00:23:00If anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:23:02No one's gonna find out.
00:23:03Oh, really?
00:23:04Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:23:07It's under control.
00:23:08Is it?
00:23:12It seems like you're letting your feelings control you.
00:23:14I said it's handled.
00:23:26Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:29This Morrison deal...
00:23:31Is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:35Don't tell me you're actually for...
00:23:36Get out.
00:24:00Get out.
00:24:30Get out.
00:24:31Get out.
00:25:01Oh, no.
00:25:03God.
00:25:20Jack, darling.
00:25:22Fancy seeing you here.
00:25:24How are you?
00:25:26I'm good, thanks.
00:25:27Jack, darling. Fancy seeing you here.
00:25:30Vivian?
00:25:31The 82 crystal.
00:25:34Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:36I can still feel it running down my back, just thinking about it.
00:25:40We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:43Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:45You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:50Oh, I'm so sorry. This must be so boring for you.
00:25:55You're so insightful, Vivian. You do bore me.
00:25:59Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:26:02Why don't you go back to, like, chopping, or whatever it is that you do.
00:26:07So basically, you know the company way that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:11I had a business meeting with Hannah today, and she has basically advised me to say that
00:26:15our investments are not making any profit, because me, myself, isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:19So my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:26...
00:26:38Quite the whirlwind romance you've got there.
00:26:42What's the catch?
00:26:44There's always a catch.
00:26:46Excuse me, I...
00:26:47Rebecca Chen. Social 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. What would you say?
00:27:03Love at first sight, or something more contractual?
00:27:08You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:10Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:17We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:20I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:24Huh.
00:27:31The Morrison Foundation dinner's tonight.
00:27:33Oh, great. Another dinner.
00:27:35It's important.
00:27:36They're all important.
00:27:38It's a part of the deal.
00:27:40They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:43You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:45Did I?
00:27:46Okay.
00:27:49At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:51To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:57Whatever.
00:28:09Nice.
00:28:10Real mature.
00:28:14No, don't.
00:28:16Oh.
00:28:18Okay.
00:28:19Okay, fine.
00:28:20You wanna go?
00:28:22No.
00:28:25No, no, please.
00:28:30Okay.
00:28:31Yeah, yeah.
00:28:32No, no, no.
00:28:33No, no, no.
00:28:34Let go.
00:28:35No.
00:28:37No.
00:28:39Ow!
00:28:46Yeah.
00:29:10Yeah.
00:29:16So, Jack's inheritance is all set.
00:29:19But he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:24That's a problem.
00:29:25Hmm.
00:29:26It's the girl, isn't it?
00:29:28The waitress.
00:29:29You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:32And I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:34No, I've done my part.
00:29:36That's under way.
00:29:37And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:42I have everything under control.
00:29:44Oh, really?
00:29:45Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.
00:29:46You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack.
00:29:50You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:52I've just begun.
00:29:58I've got it.
00:30:00Hmm.
00:30:10Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:30:13I live here.
00:30:15Of course you do.
00:30:18Okay, thanks.
00:30:21Jack, darling.
00:30:22Should we proceed to the study?
00:30:24We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:27Yeah.
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:33Well, 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-oh.
00:30:55You 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.
00:31:26Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:29Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:32Do you, Jack?
00:31:33Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:36I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:39And he just absolutely laps up
00:31:43every drop
00:31:45of my coffee.
00:31:48Isn't that right?
00:31:50Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:57So,
00:32:00how's Vivian?
00:32:02Focus on your form.
00:32:04You know,
00:32:05just wondering
00:32:07how long the two of you-
00:32:08Ancient history.
00:32:10That's not what I heard.
00:32:12From who?
00:32:13Around.
00:32:15Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:17You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:19You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:22That's business.
00:32:23Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:28But you know what?
00:32:31What's this?
00:32:34Some pretty big business
00:32:36that you haven't been sharing with me.
00:32:39I think Vivian wants some of it, too.
00:32:42But you know what?
00:32:45Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:49Sad.
00:32:50Watch your stance.
00:32:52I don't want to be lied to.
00:32:55I'm not lying, Lily.
00:32:59Don't break my heart.
00:33:02Yeah.
00:33:21Yeah.
00:33:43Yeah, the sky is so gray today.
00:33:44I hate it so much.
00:33:46Please act like you know me.
00:33:47There's someone following me.
00:33:48Oh my god!
00:33:49Are you okay?
00:33:50Who's following you?
00:33:52That weirdo?
00:33:59Is he gone?
00:34:00I think he's gone.
00:34:10You sure?
00:34:17Like that?
00:34:21I think your technique could use some work.
00:34:24They got the dota rights.
00:34:28You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:30What?
00:34:36Of course.
00:34:37And I think the real challenge is
00:34:38market penetration
00:34:39and emerging markets.
00:34:40I mean,
00:34:41you know,
00:34:42you can't just
00:34:43do it
00:34:44and then
00:34:45you can't

00:35:41Thank you
00:35:44Love you
00:35:52but this thing isn't going to last forever Jack
00:35:54last forever Jack? I don't know. I mean what choice do you have? Clock's ticking buddy.
00:36:03Unless you want to lose this deal forever.
00:36:07Lunch? I was just on my way out.
00:36:15Think about it Jack.
00:36:25What was that about? Nothing. Just business. Just business. Of course. Lily wait.
00:36:37What do you want Jack?
00:36:54I'm taking you on a holiday. What? You have time for that? A lot of time.
00:37:08Just us? I know what I want.
00:37:14Oh what about um what about Warren and the deal? I can wait.
00:37:19There she is. What? That smile. It's the one you had when I first laid eyes on you.
00:37:30I'll never forget it. You know that I don't just um serve that dish to anyone right? Really?
00:37:42I'm so sorry to interrupt Mr. Thorne. I've been told to relay that there's a
00:37:47problem back at the office. Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:51Safe. Thank you. Would you like me to cancel the trips?
00:37:58Yeah. Good.
00:38:02Who sent the message? They didn't chase.
00:38:10Lily I'm sorry. Don't. Please. It's just business. It's business yeah. I get it.
00:38:18Lily I shouldn't. Just shut up and taste this.
00:38:29Mmm. It's tasty. Incredible? Yeah. Yeah I know.
00:38:39Jack? Mm-hmm. Do you want more? Um after this one? No.
00:38:47Jack? Mm-hmm. Do you want more? Um after this one? No.
00:38:57Jack? Talking about us.
00:39:07How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:17Oh my god. What was that?
00:39:34Any enemies? Business rivals? No one comes to mind. Security cameras?
00:39:43Being installed as we speak.
00:39:54Mrs. Thorne? Sorry. That's all I saw.
00:40:04I'm ruined. You okay? Yeah.
00:40:12Yeah. Thank you.
00:40:23This is so insane. It's probably just kids. Kids? Seriously? Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:32Oh sorry. What are you afraid that someone's gonna hear about our perfect marriage?
00:40:42What are you hiding from me?
00:40:50Hey. Hey you know that secret room that you did it on me not mine?
00:40:59I found it. Yeah?
00:41:02Hey at least it's honest.
00:41:13Do you want to see it? Show me.
00:41:32Most people run. I'm not most people.
00:41:52So this is what you're into? Among other things. And all of those
00:42:02specific requirements. We're about to scare you off. I don't scare yourself. I'm starting to get that.
00:42:16Show me. You sure? Are you?
00:42:32So
00:42:40so
00:42:59so
00:43:02so
00:43:09Sir Miss Chase is here. She says it's urgent. Jack the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you
00:43:15there. Final deal points. Jess leaving in 30. I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:23Lily wait.
00:43:26Just go.
00:43:32So
00:43:39so
00:43:59The way I can explain. Can you?
00:44:03Guess some business can't wait.
00:44:17This whole thing is. Let me get this straight. You sleep with him and then you find a note from his
00:44:24ex. That's complicated. When isn't it with you? Look maybe it's time to admit this whole thing
00:44:31is just a little. What? A mistake? That you were right? Huh? Is that what you want to hear? No I
00:44:37want you to be happy. And are you? I don't know what I am anymore. I mean he paid for mom's operation
00:44:46so that's cool but. I know and the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for.
00:44:51Lily stand back. What? Stand back Megan.
00:45:12Oh my god. Fuck you. Come on let's go.
00:45:21What was that? Lessons with Jack. Jack taught you that? Yeah yeah. Dude's getting better by a minute.
00:45:35I know. Oh man. You okay? Yeah. God things were supposed to be so simple.
00:45:45Well now what? I don't even know what's real anymore. Oh honey I can't.
00:46:16He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:35Lauren I've known you since college. How could you?
00:46:4011 months. Almost a year. I barely knew limits anymore.
00:47:01Lily I need to tell you something. I'm all ears. It's about the deal. About Lauren.
00:47:07Vivian. Well if it isn't the happy couple. Oh great. The press.
00:47:25These aren't real. Oh my sister said they're very real. Story runs in 48 hours. Well this is what I
00:47:33was just about to tell you. I've been set up. Care to comment Mr. Thorne?
00:47:42You know it's funny I for a minute I really believed. Lily wait.
00:47:50They're not real. Tick tock Mr. Thorne.
00:48:03Lily wait. They're not real. You have to believe me. Like I believed you when you said that this
00:48:08was just a business deal? Like I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague?
00:48:16Like I believed that last night actually meant something. It did. Lily what happened between us
00:48:22was for the transaction. That's all any of this ever was. That's not true.
00:48:30And you know it. Do I? Because from where I'm standing you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:39You got a wife when you needed one and a body when you wanted one. Lily that's not it. Tell me I'm
00:48:45wrong. Tell me that there's not something more going on here with the business deal and your
00:48:50inheritance. Anything more to explain?
00:49:00That's what I thought.
00:49:07You're a terrible person.
00:49:10If you leave now you violate the contract. You get nothing. I don't care.
00:49:19I never cared about any of that.
00:49:30Hands up. Protect the face. No don't. Go?
00:49:47Go?
00:49:56Warren? Finally look. How about the Morrison deal? It's off. What do you mean it's off? All of it.
00:50:04The deal. The inheritance. I don't want any of it. Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:09I mean everything that we've worked for. Actually
00:50:11I think I've heard it.
00:50:42You can't just hide here forever. Watch me.
00:50:59Hey. What happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:04The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:07The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:10She played. Did she?
00:51:17If that's Jack, I'm sure that's just my oxygenarian neighbor who's a total drama queen. Watch.
00:51:24Gladys? Gladys is that you? Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:38Sir. Coffee. Hi. I did some digging around like you asked, sir. You might want to see this.
00:51:51What am I looking at here? Wire transfers. Shell companies. All leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:58Warren. I knew it. You might want to see these too, sir. They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:08Son of a bitch. He's trying to steal the inheritance. He sure is. All through a
00:52:13series of cleverly placed shell companies. Although I suspect Miss Chase's interests
00:52:20are not purely financial. Sir? They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:36Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game. Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:41Every meeting. Every call. Already compiled, sir. I had a feeling we might need this. Sir,
00:52:46what about the inheritance? Some things are worth more than money.
00:52:50So
00:53:03coming back, Megan?
00:53:19So
00:53:50think. I got us into this. I can get us out of this. Oh, I can do this. Oh, 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 gonna go. If anything happens to her, that's up to you.
00:54:10Sign the papers. And this all goes away. Like those photos of you and me from that reporter
00:54:20suddenly went away. Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved, don't they? I always knew
00:54:30you were soft. But this? Throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef.
00:54:36He's not throwing it away. He's giving it to us. All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:45You care too much, Jackie boy. Always have.
00:54:52I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:55Hmm. Wait.
00:55:17Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:19Okay, remember your training.
00:55:26Protect your face.
00:55:31Megan! Lenny!
00:55:36Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:38Come on. Of course it's a trap. The question is, what are you gonna do about it?
00:55:54Lenny!
00:55:58I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir. Room 115.
00:56:02Lauren's called the police.
00:56:04Already done. But sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:07She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:14No, no, no, no. Lauren, she's there. Lily's there.
00:56:24Hold on, Lily. Hold on.
00:56:38Leave her alone.
00:56:40Shut up. Get away from my wife.
00:56:44Well, well. A hero arrives. Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:54I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:56That's my girl.
00:57:03Oh, I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:18That's for my sister, you son of a bitch.
00:57:24Lily, about everything.
00:57:30The photos. Vivian.
00:57:33Now? Seriously?
00:57:34I love you.
00:57:37Not for any inheritance. Not for any deal.
00:57:40Just you.
00:57:45I know.
00:57:54You.
00:57:55Stay right there. Come on, cover me.
00:58:09What the hell?
00:58:13This isn't...
00:58:14Possible.
00:58:18And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go. Sign the papers.
00:58:21Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:24That proves nothing.
00:58:25I think it might prove something.
00:58:27Yeah, those photos that you planted. Maybe use better AI next time. You can't.
00:58:32Yes, they can. And you two are under arrest.
00:58:38You'll regret this, Jack. The inheritance, the...
00:58:40Are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:43You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:47I do.
00:58:52Yes, thank you.
00:58:56Thanks.
00:59:01Now that's a story.
00:59:07Here to twist the knife?
00:59:08Actually, I'm here to get it right.
00:59:13Where did you...
00:59:13Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:16Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:20So, no scandal piece?
00:59:22Oh, there's definitely a scandal. But not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:30That's actually accurate.
00:59:33I'm a reporter. Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:37Though I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:42Yeah, neither did I.
00:59:44Story runs tomorrow. Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:50Are we about the inheritance?
00:59:57Do you really think I care about any of that now?
01:00:04Just take me home.
01:00:07Yes, dear.
01:00:08Slut's coming up. Must be a new record.
01:00:21It is for me.
01:00:24Any regrets?
01:00:26Only one.
01:00:29They didn't get your chef's special sooner. Could have saved us a lot of trouble.
01:00:33Yeah.
01:00:38Excuse me, sir. Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:41How bad is it?
01:00:43Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:45She's included the last bit you want to put in.
01:01:00Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:01:02In a shocking turn of events, tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne
01:01:05announced his plans to transform his inherited fortune into the city's largest culinary grant
01:01:10program.
01:01:12Surprised?
01:01:15But your inheritance is gone.
01:01:19My inheritance, yeah.
01:01:21It turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:24You sold the company?
01:01:26It turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:36My turn.
01:01:44Perfect, Julie and Danny. Keep it thin, okay? Just like that.
01:02:02This looks good on you.
01:02:04And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:08Suckers.
01:02:09Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:12Depends. Did my wife make it?
01:02:16The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:18Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:27Hang on.
01:02:33Voila.
01:02:40You're the best chef in town.
01:02:43You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:48I think that contract expired.
01:02:51Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:59We are gathered here today.
01:03:01No more business deals this time.
01:03:03Just love.
01:03:05Good.
01:03:06Because I have some terms off my own.
01:03:10First, you have to eat everything I cook.
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 meet it this time.
01:03:29I met it the first time.
01:03:31Just didn't know yet.
01:03:34The rings?
01:03:35Actually...
01:03:42Is that...
01:03:42Something old.
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.
01:04:01You make us the brides.
01:04:18So...
01:04:20Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:23What are you...
01:04:26Lauren, tell me back.
01:04:31What?
01:04:35Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:39I don't know, Mr. Thorne.
01:04:44Can you handle them?
01:04:46I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:50How about you just shut up and kiss your wife?
01:05:01Oh.
01:05:08Ah!
