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, 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?
00:01:16Hello?
00:01:18Yeah, the dog.
00:01:22Hi.
00:01:25Hi.
00:01:30You ordered the special?
00:01:31Actually, I...
00:01:32Trust me.
00:01:33Who is that girl?
00:01:34Something about her.
00:01:35It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:36Well, that was presumptuous.
00:01:37Huh?
00:01:38The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?
00:01:39Don't tell me you're actually impressed by that little slut, Jack.
00:01:40It looks good.
00:01:41The food or the waitress?
00:01:42The food.
00:01:43The food.
00:01:44The food.
00:01:45The food.
00:01:46The food.
00:01:47The food.
00:01:48The food.
00:01:49The food.
00:01:50The food.
00:01:51The food.
00:01:52The food.
00:01:53The food.
00:01:54The food!
00:02:01And 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 she say?
00:02:13What?
00:02:14I am serious this time!
00:02:15You're fired!
00:02:16Get 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, you get out, you leave!
00:02:26Please!
00:02:26No, now!
00:02:27Allez, full command! Merde!
00:02:29Putain!
00:02:32They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:37Yeah, the trash.
00:02:42Asshole!
00:02:54Don't scream, don't scream, baby.
00:02:57Or do you want to scream for me?
00:03:03Hey!
00:03:08No!
00:03:11No!
00:03:14Hey, wait!
00:03:16No!
00:03:18No!
00:03:20No!
00:03:22No!
00:03:23No!
00:03:44Not now, we're in it.
00:03:47Jack, my man.
00:03:48Que 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?
00:03:54The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:57Yeah.
00:03:58Yeah, come on, are you even listening?
00:04:00I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:04:04And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:04:06Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:07Um...
00:04:10How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:15Maybe next time.
00:04:18Thanks.
00:04:20Call me.
00:04:21I'll call you back.
00:04:22Jack, come on.
00:04:23Yeah, lock on me.
00:04:24Jack's never done that before.
00:04:26If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:32We're over.
00:04:34Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:37I've got just the plan.
00:04:45Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:50How am I going to find her again?
00:04:59You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:02You out of your mind?
00:05:03Vivian and I are done.
00:05:04Never again.
00:05:06She's just business now.
00:05:09Very well, sir.
00:05:11Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:14I'll find another wife.
00:05:15Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:18I'll find another wife.
00:05:19I'm afraid not.
00:05:21But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:25You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:29I 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 clause.
00:05:43Especially your wife.
00:05:45Or I lose everything.
00:05:47Everything.
00:05:58Don't complain about anything.
00:06:00I don't complain. I don't.
00:06:02All I'm saying is, you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:05I am living in the real world.
00:06:07The real world.
00:06:13Really?
00:06:14Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:17Creative differences.
00:06:20There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:24Lily.
00:06:26You'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.
00:06:41Yeah, it'll be all my fault.
00:06:44Lily.
00:06:47There is an opening at my office.
00:06:50Seriously?
00:06:51It's stable.
00:06:53Health insurance. 401K.
00:06:55I'd rather die.
00:06:56You'd rather be broke.
00:06:57No, I'd rather...
00:06:58I'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.
00:07:29Okay.
00:07:42Hi.
00:07:45Name?
00:07:47Lily Dunning.
00:07:48Can I help you?
00:07:50Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:52My sister's Megan. She works here.
00:07:55Last place of employment?
00:07:56Chez Francois.
00:07:58A restaurant?
00:07:59Yes, I'm a chef. My passion's cooking, so I...
00:08:04And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:06No.
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...
00:08:19Thanks. We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:23You can go now.
00:08:24Bye-bye.
00:08:26Bye-bye.
00:08:34Screw this!
00:08:38Fuck!
00:08:49What are you looking at?!
00:08:57I'm sorry, mom.
00:08:58I've tried everything and I've let you down.
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.
00:09:20Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:24Well, hold on. Just hear me out.
00:09:26I 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?
00:09:51I'd tell you that there are apps for that.
00:09:53For one year.
00:09:54Classy.
00:09:56Look, listen.
00:09:57I have a very important business deal with 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?
00:10:19Walking away?
00:10:26Okay, well what's in it for me?
00:10:28Well, anything you want.
00:10:29Money.
00:10:30A place to live.
00:10:32Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:35Just think of it as a business 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.
00:11:16Okay.
00:11:35This is, um...
00:11:38Specific.
00:11:40I like clarity.
00:11:47Hm.
00:11:49Wife agrees to perform.
00:11:55Very...
00:11:56Specific.
00:11:59Is there a problem?
00:12:02Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:06What's going on here?
00:12:11No.
00:12:17I'm saying yes.
00:12:28To everything.
00:12:42Do you...
00:12:44Jack Thorne
00:12:47This is insane.
00:12:48Shut up, Warren.
00:12:50Take Lily Dunin
00:12:52to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:54This is fucking nuts.
00:12:55Shut the fuck up.
00:12:58I do.
00:13:01I now pronounce you
00:13:03husband and wife.
00:13:16I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:47This marriage, it's...
00:13:50It's just a contract.
00:13:56Well...
00:13:58I think that the contract says that
00:14:02this is my room.
00:14:11But...
00:14:12Good night, husband.
00:14:17Good night.
00:14:26And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:30And 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.
00:15:05And this room is the...
00:15:09Oh, dear.
00:15:12Would you excuse me?
00:15:13Of course.
00:15:14Apologies.
00:15:46What are you doing here?
00:16:12Oh, 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.
00:16:35Unless 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.
00:16:47I love you.
00:16:59Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:17:01Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:10Hi.
00:17:12Hi.
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 can think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:42Ah!
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 do anything.
00:17:52Where 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, I don't remember.
00:18:04Whatever it was.
00:18:06Excuse me.
00:18:07Excuse me.
00:18:10So, what you guys have...
00:18:12went down for the eggs.
00:18:19So, as I was saying...
00:18:37Mm-hmm.
00:18:44You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:19:08Wow.
00:19:10Good?
00:19:11Surprisingly good.
00:19:12Surprisingly good.
00:19:16Well, payment for spying.
00:19:19Payment accepted.
00:19:21You know...
00:19:23a house this grand, I would expect...
00:19:26a kitchen to match.
00:19:31I had to make do.
00:19:32Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:34It's a shame.
00:19:43You can go now.
00:20:01You, um...
00:20:03You, um...
00:20:05wanted to see me.
00:20:07Time for your first lesson.
00:20:09My 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.
00:20:27Yeah.
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, like this.
00:20:41Oh, God, sorry.
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.
00:20:58Rule number one.
00:21:00Stance.
00:21:02Right?
00:21:31Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:34I, um...
00:21:35A business expense?
00:21:39Business expense.
00:21:41These are...
00:21:43the best knives in the market.
00:21:45The best knives to the best chef.
00:21:50Why are you doing this?
00:21:51The contract.
00:21:53No.
00:21:55The real reason.
00:21:57Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:22:01Maybe...
00:22:04you just like watching me.
00:22:10You know that, um...
00:22:12this doesn't change anything.
00:22:14Of course not.
00:22:21This is for your mother.
00:22:27The...
00:22:28No, this is too much.
00:22:29This 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?
00:22:54We'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?
00:23:11Because it seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...
00:23:14I said it's handled.
00:23:16Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:19This Morrison deal...
00:23:21is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:25Don't tell me you're actually fooling me.
00:23:26Get out.
00:24:15Two...
00:24:46One...
00:25:12Oh, no.
00:25:14God.
00:25:28Jack, darling.
00:25:30Fancy seeing you here.
00:25:31Vivienne?
00:25:32The 82 crystal.
00:25:35Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:37I can still feel it running down my back, just thinking about it.
00:25:41We 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.
00:25:51Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:53This must be so boring for you.
00:25:56You're so insightful, Vivienne.
00:25:58You do bore me.
00:26:00Darling, the 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
00:26:15our investments are not making any profit,
00:26:17the company itself isn't actually doing all too well,
00:26:20so my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:23What?
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.
00:26:49Social pages.
00:26:50Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:54This must be some kind of record.
00:26:57Though lately I've been more interested in business deals.
00:27:01Hmm, what would you say?
00:27:04Love at first sight or something more contractual?
00:27:09You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:11Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:13We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:20I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:22Well, the Morrison Foundation dinner's tonight.
00:27:33Oh, great.
00:27:34Another dinner.
00:27:35It's important.
00:27:37They're all important.
00:27:38It's a part of the deal.
00:27:39They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:42You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:45Did I?
00:27:46At least Vivian will be there to talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:55Okay, whatever.
00:27:58Nice.
00:28:10Real mature.
00:28:12No, don't.
00:28:15Okay.
00:28:19Okay, fine.
00:28:20You want to go?
00:28:22Nope.
00:28:23No, no, please.
00:28:27Okay.
00:28:31Yeah, yeah.
00:28:32No, no, no.
00:28:33Let go.
00:28:36No.
00:28:37No.
00:28:38No.
00:28:39Ow.
00:28:40Ow.
00:28:41Ow.
00:28:42Ow.
00:28:43Ow.
00:28:44Ow.
00:28:45Ow.
00:28:46Ow.
00:28:47Ow.
00:28:48Ow.
00:28:49Ow.
00:28:50Ow.
00:28:51Ow.
00:28:52Ow.
00:28:53Ow.
00:28:54Ow.
00:28:55Ow.
00:28:56Ow.
00:28:57Ow.
00:28:58Ow.
00:28:59Ow.
00:29:00Ow.
00:29:01Ow.
00:29:02Ow.
00:29:03Ow.
00:29:04Ow.
00:29:05Ow.
00:29:06Yeah?
00:29:13So, Jack's inheritance is all set but he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds
00:29:22to the Morrison deal.
00:29:24That's a problem.
00:29:26Hmm.
00:29:27It's the girl, isn't it, the waitress?
00:29:30You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:32I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:34Oh, I've done my part.
00:29:36That's under way, and 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.
00:29:47You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack.
00:29:51You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:53I've just begun.
00:29:59I've got it.
00:30:11Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:30:15I live here.
00:30:16Of course you do.
00:30:17Okay, thanks.
00:30:18Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study?
00:30:26We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:30Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:37Vivian?
00:30:40Remember Tokyo?
00:30:45That sake bar?
00:30:46I'm married.
00:30:47Are you now?
00:30:48I hadn't noticed.
00:30:49Uh-huh.
00:30:50You know that feeling?
00:30:51When you leave the house, and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:31:12I forgot something.
00:31:15Maybe you can help me figure it out?
00:31:21Coffee?
00:31:23Oh, no, thank you.
00:31:27Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:30Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:32Do you, Jack?
00:31:34Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:37I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it, and he just absolutely laps
00:31:43up every drop of my coffee.
00:31:49Isn't that right?
00:31:51Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:56So, how's Vivian?
00:32:03Focus on your form.
00:32:04You know, I was just wondering, how long the two of you...
00:32:09Ancient history.
00:32:10That's not what I heard.
00:32:13From who?
00:32:14Around.
00:32:15Telecare gets brought up a lot.
00:32:18You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:20And you'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 that 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.
00:32:52Sad.
00:32:53Watch your stance.
00:32:59I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:02I'm not lying, Lily.
00:33:06Don't break my heart.
00:33:09Yeah.
00:33:40Yeah, the sky is so gray today.
00:33:45I hate it so much.
00:33:47Please act like you know me.
00:33:48There's someone following me.
00:33:49Oh, my God.
00:33:50Are you okay?
00:33:51Who's following you?
00:33:52That weirdo?
00:33:53Is he gone?
00:33:54I think he's gone.
00:33:56You sure?
00:34:06You like that?
00:34:12I think Technique could use some work.
00:34:21I think Technique could use some work.
00:34:25They got the dota rights.
00:34:29Sure that wasn't me.
00:34:51Of course.
00:34:57And I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies.
00:35:02I'm sure Jax brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:35:06Actually I...
00:35:08Tell me, what's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:12I think...
00:35:15No comment.
00:35:16How surprising.
00:35:17Excuse me.
00:35:19Great thinking Lily.
00:35:20All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:44Love you.
00:35:50But this thing isn't going to last forever Jack.
00:35:56I don't know.
00:35:59I mean what choice do you have?
00:36:01Clock's ticking buddy.
00:36:03Unless you want to lose this deal forever.
00:36:06Lunch?
00:36:11I was just on my way out.
00:36:16Think about it Jack.
00:36:20What was that about?
00:36:27Nothing.
00:36:28Just business.
00:36:29Just business.
00:36:30Of course.
00:36:31Lily, wait.
00:36:32What do you want Jack?
00:36:33Taking you on a holiday.
00:37:01What?
00:37:02You have time for that?
00:37:04A lot of time.
00:37:08Just us?
00:37:09I know what I want.
00:37:14What about um...
00:37:16What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:19That can wait.
00:37:22There she is.
00:37:23What?
00:37:24That smile.
00:37:25It's the one you had when I first laid eyes on you.
00:37:31I'll never forget it.
00:37:32You know that I don't just serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:37Really?
00:37:38Mhmm.
00:37:43I'm so sorry to interrupt Mr. Thorne.
00:37:45I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.
00:37:49Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:51Safe.
00:37:53Would you like me to cancel the trip sir?
00:37:58Yeah.
00:37:59Very good.
00:38:01Who sent the message?
00:38:04Vivian Chase.
00:38:09Lil' Bae, 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.
00:38:25Lily, I shouldn't...
00:38:27Just shut up and taste this.
00:38:39Mmm.
00:38:40This tastes uh...
00:38:41Incredible?
00:38:42Yeah.
00:38:43Yeah, I know.
00:38:48Jack?
00:38:49Mhmm?
00:38:50Do you want more?
00:38:52Um, after this one?
00:38:54No.
00:38:55At the boot, Jack.
00:39:00Talking about us.
00:39:07How long are we going to keep on doing this?
00:39:22Oh!
00:39:23Oh my god!
00:39:25What was that?
00:39:34Any enemies?
00:39:36Business rivals?
00:39:38No one comes to mind.
00:39:41Security cameras?
00:39:43Being installed as we speak.
00:39:55Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:57Sorry.
00:40:00That's all I saw.
00:40:05I'm worried.
00:40:06You okay?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:18Yeah.
00:40:22This is so insane.
00:40:25It's probably just kids.
00:40:27Kids?
00:40:29Seriously?
00:40:30Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:32Oh, sorry.
00:40:34What, are you afraid that someone's going to hear about our perfect marriage?
00:40:45What are you hiding from me?
00:40:50Hey.
00:40:52Hey, you know that secret room?
00:40:55That you didn't want me to find?
00:40:59I found it.
00:41:02Yeah?
00:41:07Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:13Do you want to see it?
00:41:15Surely.
00:41:25No.
00:41:45Most people run.
00:41:47I'm not most people.
00:41:52So?
00:41:55This is what you're into?
00:41:57Among other things.
00:41:59And all of those...
00:42:02Specific requirements?
00:42:04We're meant to scare you off.
00:42:06I don't scare you, son.
00:42:08I'm starting to get that.
00:42:15Show me.
00:42:17You sure?
00:42:19Are you?
00:42:25No.
00:42:55So?
00:42:58So.
00:43:06Sir, Miss Chase is here.
00:43:08She says it's urgent.
00:43:10Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there.
00:43:13Final deal points.
00:43:14Jack's leaving in 30.
00:43:15I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:20Lily, wait.
00:43:22I'm not ready.
00:43:24Lily, wait.
00:43:27Just go.
00:43:54The way I can explain.
00:43:57Can you?
00:44:01Guess the business can't wait.
00:44:11This whole thing is...
00:44:13Let me get this straight.
00:44:15You sleep with him and then you find another woman?
00:44:19I don't know.
00:44:20Let me get this straight.
00:44:22You sleep with him and then you find a note from his ex?
00:44:25That's complicated.
00:44:26When isn't it with you?
00:44:28Look, maybe 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...
00:44:49I know. And the worst part is, I think I might actually be falling for it.
00:44:58Lily?
00:45:00Stand back.
00:45:01What?
00:45:02Stand back, Megan.
00:45:06Kid, kid, kid, kid, kid.
00:45:08Lily!
00:45:13Stop, motherfucker!
00:45:16Oh my God!
00:45:17Fuck you!
00:45:19Come on, let's go.
00:45:26What was that?
00:45:28Lessons with Jack.
00:45:30Jack taught you that?
00:45:32Yeah, yeah.
00:45:34Dude'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.
00:46:19He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:35Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:38How could you?
00:46:44Eleven months.
00:46:46Almost a year.
00:46:49We're barely newlyweds anymore.
00:47:02Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:47:04I'm all ears.
00:47:06It's about the deal.
00:47:07About Lauren, Vivian.
00:47:09Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:13Oh, great.
00:47:14The press.
00:47:19Who?
00:47:25These aren't real.
00:47:26Real?
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.
00:47:37Care to comment, Mr. Thorne?
00:47:41You know, it's funny.
00:47:42I, for a minute, I really believed.
00:47:45Lily, wait.
00:47:48They're not real.
00:47:51Tick tock, Mr. Thorne.
00:48:03Lily, wait.
00:48:06They're not real.
00:48:08You have to believe me.
00:48:09Like I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal?
00:48:12Like I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague?
00:48:17Like I believed that last night actually meant something?
00:48:20It did.
00:48:22Lily, what happened between us was-
00:48:23The transaction.
00:48:25That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:28That's not true.
00:48:29And you know it.
00:48:30Do I?
00:48:33Because from where I'm standing,
00:48:35you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:37You got a wife when you needed it.
00:48:39You got everything that you wanted.
00:48:41You got a wife when you needed one.
00:48:43And a body when you wanted one.
00:48:45Lily, that's not it.
00:48:46Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:48Tell me that there's not something more going on here.
00:48:50With the business deal.
00:48:52And your inheritance.
00:48:54Anything more to explain?
00:49:02That's what I thought.
00:49:07You're a terrible person.
00:49:10If you leave now, you violate the contract.
00:49:13You get nothing.
00:49:15I don't care.
00:49:18I never cared about any of that.
00:49:39Hands up.
00:49:40Protect the face.
00:49:42No, don't.
00:49:45Go?
00:49:46No.
00:49:56Morn.
00:49:57Finally, look.
00:49:58About the Morrison deal.
00:49:59It's off.
00:50:00What do you mean it's off?
00:50:02All of it.
00:50:03The deal.
00:50:04The inheritance.
00:50:06I don't want any of it.
00:50:07Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:08I mean, everything that we've worked for.
00:50:10Actually...
00:50:14I think I've heard it.
00:50:39Oh.
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, I'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.
00:51:39Coffee.
00:51:41Hi.
00:51:42I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:45You might want to see this.
00:51:51What am I looking at here?
00:51:52Wire transfers, shell companies.
00:51:55All leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:57More.
00:51:59I knew it!
00:52:00You might want to see these too, sir.
00:52:01They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:03What?
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.
00:52:17Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial.
00:52:33Sir?
00:52:34They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:36Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:39Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:41Every meeting, every call.
00:52:42Already compiled, sir.
00:52:44I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:45Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:47Some things are worth more than money.
00:52:48Some things are worth more than money.
00:53:02You're coming back, Megan?
00:53:12Fuck.
00:53:18Fuck.
00:53:45Move.
00:53:46Move on.
00:53:49Think.
00:53:52I got us into this.
00:53:54I can get us out of this.
00:53:56I can do this.
00:53:57I can do this.
00:53:59Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.
00:54:04And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.
00:54:07If anything happens to her.
00:54:08That's up to you.
00:54:11Sign the papers.
00:54:14And this all goes away.
00:54:16Goes away.
00:54:18Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.
00:54:24Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:54:27Don'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.
00:54:44You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:47Always have.
00:54:52I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:56Wait.
00:55:14Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:20Remember your training.
00:55:23Protect your face.
00:55:28Megan!
00:55:29Lenny!
00:55:33Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:36Come on.
00:55:38Come on.
00:55:40Come on.
00:55:41Come on.
00:55:46Of course it's a trap.
00:55:49The question is...
00:55:52What are you gonna do about it?
00:55:54Lenny!
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.
00:56:12No, no, no, no.
00:56:15Lauren, she's there.
00:56:16Lily's there.
00:56:21Hold on, Lily.
00:56:22Hold on.
00:56:36Leave her alone!
00:56:37Shut up!
00:56:42Get away from my wife!
00:56:44Well, well.
00:56:46A new hero arrives.
00:56:49Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:53I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:56That's my girl.
00:57:06I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:12Ugh.
00:57:13Ugh.
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.
00:57:32Now?
00:57:33Seriously?
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.
00:57:55Stay right there.
00:57:57Come on, cover me.
00:57:58What?
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.
00:58:20Sign the papers.
00:58:21Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:24That proves nothing.
00:58:25I think it might prove something.
00:58:27Those photos that you planted?
00:58:28Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:31You can't.
00:58:32Yes, they can.
00:58:33And...
00:58:34You two are under arrest.
00:58:38You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:39The inheritance, the...
00:58:40Are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:42You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:46I do.
00:58:54Yes, thank you.
00:58:55Thanks.
00:59:00Now that's a story.
00:59:06Here to twist the knife?
00:59:07Actually...
00:59:09I'm here to get it right.
00:59:12Where did you...?
00:59:13Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:15Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:19So...
00:59:20No scandal piece?
00:59:21Oh.
00:59:22There's definitely a scandal.
00:59:25But...
00:59:26Not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:30That's...
00:59:32Actually accurate.
00:59:33I'm a reporter.
00:59:34Truth 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.
00:59:55The way about the inheritance...
00:59:56Do you really think that I care about any of that now?
01:00:03Just take me home.
01:00:06Yes, dear.
01:00:16Sun's coming up.
01:00:18Must be a new record.
01:00:21It is for me.
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.
01:00:34Ow.
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.
01:00:56Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:00:59In a shocking turn of events,
01:01:01tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans
01:01:03to transform his inherited fortune
01:01:05into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:09Surprised?
01:01:12But your...
01:01:13Your inheritance is gone.
01:01:16My inheritance, yeah.
01:01:18It turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:20You sold the company?
01:01:22It turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:34I don't know.
01:01:41Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:42Keep them thin, okay?
01:01:43Just like that.
01:01:52Ding.
01:02:02This looks good on you.
01:02:05And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:08Suckers.
01:02:09Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:13Depends.
01:02:14Did my wife make it?
01:02:16The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:19Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:22Hang on.
01:02:28Hang on.
01:02:36Voila.
01:02:41And the best chef in town.
01:02:44You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:48I 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 of my own.
01:03:09First, you have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:13Done.
01:03:15Second, no more locked rooms.
01:03:20Without me in it.
01:03:23Is that all?
01:03:25Third, you have to mean it this time.
01:03:29I meant it the first time.
01:03:31Just didn't know yet.
01:03:33The rings?
01:03:35Actually...
01:03:41Is that...
01:03:42Something old.
01:03:43Something new.
01:03:45Something borrowed.
01:03:46Something...
01:03:47Something...
01:03:49That one.
01:03:57For better or worse.
01:03:59For real this time.
01:04:03You make us the bride.
01:04:18So...
01:04:20Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:23What are you...
01:04:27Lauren, tell me back.
01:04:33Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:38I don't know, Mr. Thorne.
01:04:43Can you handle them?
01:04:44Can you handle them?
01:04:46I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:50How about you just shut up?
01:04:52And kiss your wife?
01:05:14I'm sorry.
01:05:15I'm sorry.
01:05:16I'm sorry.
01:05:17I'm sorry.
01:05:18I'm sorry.
01:05:19I'm sorry.
01:05:20I'm sorry.
01:05:21I'm sorry.
01:05:22I'm sorry.
01:05:23I'm sorry.
01:05:24I'm sorry.
01:05:25I'm sorry.
01:05:26I'm sorry.
01:05:27I'm sorry.
01:05:28I'm sorry.
01:05:29I'm sorry.
01:05:30I'm sorry.
01:05:31I'm sorry.
01:05:32I'm sorry.
01:05:33I'm sorry.
01:05:34I'm sorry.
01:05:35I'm sorry.
01:05:36I'm sorry.
01:05:37I'm sorry.
01:05:38I'm sorry.
01:05:39I'm sorry.
01:05:40I'm sorry.
01:05:41I'm sorry.
01:05:42I'm sorry.
