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.
00:02:02And 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.
00:02:15You are fired.
00:02:16You get out of here.
00:02:17What?
00:02:18You take this.
00:02:19You kill up your act.
00:02:20You get out.
00:02:21No, please, sir.
00:02:22It won't happen again.
00:02:23Oh, 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!
00:02:53Oh, God!
00:03:02Don't scream, don't scream, baby.
00:03:05Or do you want to scream for me?
00:03:07Please!
00:03:12Hey!
00:03:21Hey, wait!
00:03:23Hey!
00:03:44Not now, weren't I?
00:03:47Jack, my man, cupasso.
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.
00:04:31We're over.
00:04:33Don'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.
00:05:02Are you out of your mind?
00:05:03Vivian and I are done.
00:05:05Never 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.
00:05:17I'll find another wife.
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.
00:05:37And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.
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.
00:06:13Really?
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...
00:07:05How can you help mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:12Fine. Yeah, you're right.
00:07:15Let's do it.
00:07:42Hi.
00:07:44Name?
00:07:46Lily Dunning.
00:07:48Can I help you?
00:07:50Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:52My sister is Megan.
00:07:53She works here.
00:07:55Last place of employment?
00:07:57Chez Francois.
00:07:59A restaurant?
00:08:00Yes, I'm a chef.
00:08:02My passion is cooking, so I...
00:08:04And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:06No.
00:08:08No, of course not.
00:08:10Why do you think someone like you could work here?
00:08:15I just need a job.
00:08:18Sorry, I'm...
00:08:19Thanks. We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:23You can go now.
00:08:25Bye-bye.
00:08:34Screw this!
00:08:37Fuck!
00:08:48What are you looking at?
00:08:56I'm sorry, mom.
00:08:58I've tried everything and I've let you down.
00:09:00You?
00:09:03Me.
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?
00:09:52I'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
00:10:00with some very important people involved
00:10:02and I 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.
00:10:26Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:28Anything 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.
00:10:48Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:52It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:10:59You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:01My own wing?
00:11:03Complete privacy.
00:11:05But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:07Play the happy wife.
00:11:29This is, um...
00:11:33specific.
00:11:35I like clarity.
00:11:44Hmm.
00:11:46Wife agrees to perform...
00:11:50Hmm.
00:11:52Very...
00:11:54specific.
00:11:56Specific.
00:11:58Is there a problem?
00:12:01Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:06What's going on here?
00:12:11No.
00:12:17I'm saying yes.
00:12:27To everything.
00:12:42Do you, Jack Thorne...
00:12:46This is insane.
00:12:48Shut up, Warren.
00:12:50...take Lily Dunin to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:12:53This is fucking nuts.
00:12:55Shut the fuck up.
00:12:57I do.
00:13:00I now pronounce you...
00:13:02husband and wife.
00:13:25I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:48This marriage, it's...
00:13:51it'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...
00:14:13Good night, husband.
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.
00:15:04And this room is the...
00:15:08Oh, dear.
00:15:11Would you excuse me?
00:15:13Of course.
00:15:14Apologies.
00:15:23You
00:15:46What are you doing here?
00:15:53I'm sorry.
00:16:12Oh, my gosh.
00:16:18Problem?
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.
00:16:32You can, and you won't.
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.
00:16:50You
00:16:58Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:17:00Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:09Hi.
00:17:14And then I said,
00:17:16do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:18I don't need a knife. I just need a chainsaw.
00:17:20Okay.
00:17:22Jackie, there you are.
00:17:24Warren 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.
00:17:32That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:37I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:42Oh!
00:17:44My God.
00:17:46This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:48I'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.
00:17:58Oh, 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, Hive?
00:18:12We're done with the eggs.
00:18:18As I was saying...
00:18:38You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:19:09Wow.
00:19:11Good?
00:19:13Surprisingly 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.
00:19:37It's a shame.
00:19:46You can go now.
00:19:48Bye.
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.
00:20:17Figure out when you might need it.
00:20:19I don't know if that's really...
00:20:21Number one. Stance.
00:20:24Move the feet apart.
00:20:26Bend this knee.
00:20:28Yep.
00:20:29Then move this foot forward.
00:20:31Good.
00:20:32Okay.
00:20:33Now, hands up.
00:20:35Protect the face.
00:20:37Okay.
00:20:39Now, like this.
00:20:41Oh, God, sorry.
00:20:47I'm really good at this.
00:20:49We'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?
00:21:18Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:20I, um...
00:21:22A business expense?
00:21:26Business expense.
00:21:28These are...
00:21:30The best knives in the market.
00:21:32The best knives to the best chef?
00:21:34Yeah.
00:21:36I don't know.
00:21:38I don't know.
00:21:40I don't know.
00:21:42I don't know.
00:21:44I don't know.
00:21:46I'm not a chef.
00:21:50Why are you doing this?
00:21:52The contract.
00:21:53No.
00:21:55The real reason.
00:21:57Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:22:02Maybe...
00:22:05You just like watching me.
00:22:10You know, that, um...
00:22:13This doesn't change anything.
00:22:15No.
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?
00:22:45I don't know.
00:22:55We've got a problem.
00:22:56Morning to you, too.
00:22:58So, the inheritance release date is set, but...
00:23:00If 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 your...
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 fooling me.
00:23:37Get out.
00:23:44I'm not fooling you.
00:24:14I'm not fooling you.
00:24:44I'm not fooling you.
00:25:11Oh no.
00:25:13God.
00:25:27Jack, darling.
00:25:29Fancy seeing you here.
00:25:31Vivienne?
00:25:32The 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.
00:25:51Oh, 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 our 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?
00:26:39Quite 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.
00:26:49Social pages.
00:26:50Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:54This must be some kind of record.
00:26:56Though 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.
00:27:11Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:14We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:17I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:29The Morrison Foundation dinner's tonight.
00:27:31Oh, great. Another dinner.
00:27:33It's important.
00:27:34They're all important.
00:27:36It's a part of the deal.
00:27:38They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:41They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:43You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:46Did I?
00:27:49At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:51To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:57Whatever.
00:27:59Huh.
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.
00:28:29Okay, can we?
00:28:31No.
00:28:32Yeah?
00:28:33No, no, no, no.
00:28:35Let go!
00:28:36No.
00:28:37Ah!
00:28:38No.
00:28:39Ow!
00:28:59Okay.
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.
00:29:23That'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 underway.
00:29:38And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:42I have everything under control.
00:29:44Oh, really? Because 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.
00:29:57I've got it.
00:30:10Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:30:14I live here.
00:30:16Of course you do.
00:30:18Okay, thanks.
00:30:22Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study?
00:30:25We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:27Yep.
00:30:33Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:40Vivian?
00:30:43Remember Tokyo? That sake bar?
00:30:46I'm married.
00:30:49Oh, you know.
00:30:52I hadn't noticed.
00:30:55You know that feeling when you leave the house
00:30:59and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:31:12I forgot something.
00:31:15Maybe you can help me figure it out?
00:31:20Coffee?
00:31:23Oh, no thank you.
00:31:25Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:28Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:31Do you, Jack?
00:31:33Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:35I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:38And he just absolutely laps up
00:31:42every drop of my coffee.
00:31:46Of my coffee.
00:31:49Isn't that right?
00:31:51Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:58So, how's Vivian?
00:32:03Focus on your form.
00:32:05You know, I was just wondering
00:32:07how long the two of you...
00:32:09Ancient history.
00:32:11That's not what I heard.
00:32:13From who?
00:32:14From around.
00:32:16Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:18You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:20You'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.
00:32:53Watch 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.
00:33:11Yeah.
00:33:42Yeah, the sky is so gray today.
00:33:45I hate it so much.
00:33:46Please act like you know me.
00:33:47There's someone following me.
00:33:48Oh my god, are you okay?
00:33:50Who's following you?
00:33:52That weirdo?
00:33:59Is he gone?
00:34:00I think he's gone.
00:34:02You sure?
00:34:10You sure?
00:34:18Like that?
00:34:22I think technique could use some work.
00:34:25They got the dota rights.
00:34:29You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:32Yeah.
00:34:50What?
00:34:56Of course.
00:34:57And I think the real challenge is market penetration
00:34:59and emerging economies.
00:35:01I'm sure Jax brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:35:05Actually, I...
00:35:07Tell me.
00:35:08What's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:11I think...
00:35:14No comment?
00:35:15How surprising.
00:35:16Excuse me.
00:35:18Great thinking, Lily.
00:35:20All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:31Fuck.
00:35:44Love you.
00:35:53But this thing isn't gonna last forever, Jack.
00:35:57I don't know.
00:35:58I mean, what choice do you have?
00:36:00Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:36:02Unless you wanna lose this deal forever.
00:36:07Lunch?
00:36:10I was just on my way out.
00:36:15Think about it, Jack.
00:36:24What was that about?
00:36:26Nothing. Just business.
00:36:28Just business. Of course.
00:36:31Lily, wait.
00:36:37What do you want, Jack?
00:36:59Taking you on a holiday.
00:37:01What? You have time for that?
00:37:04A lot of time.
00:37:07Just us?
00:37:09I know what I want.
00:37:14Oh, what about, um...
00:37:16What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:18That could wait.
00:37:22There she is.
00:37:24What?
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?
00:37:38Mm-hmm.
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.
00:37:48Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:50Safe.
00:37:52Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:57Yeah.
00:37:59Good.
00:38:01Who sent the message?
00:38:03Vivian Chase.
00:38:09Lil' Bae, I'm sorry.
00:38:10Don't. Please.
00:38:11It's just business.
00:38:12It's business, yeah. I get it.
00:38:24Lily, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:26Just shut up and...
00:38:28taste this.
00:38:38Mm.
00:38:39This tastes, uh...
00:38:40Incredible?
00:38:41Yeah.
00:38:42Yeah, I know.
00:38:47Jack?
00:38:48Mm-hmm?
00:38:50Do you want more?
00:38:52Um, after this one?
00:38:53No.
00:38:55Let the food...
00:38:57Jack.
00:38:59You're talking about us.
00:39:06How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:21Oh!
00:39:22Oh, 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.
00:40:21This is so insane.
00:40:25It's probably just kids.
00:40:27Kids?
00:40:28Seriously?
00:40:30Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:32Oh, sorry.
00:40:34What, are you afraid that someone's gonna hear...
00:40:36about 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?
00:40:58I found it.
00:41:01Yeah?
00:41:07Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:13Do you want to see it?
00:41:15Surely.
00:41:20Yeah.
00:41:45Most people run.
00:41:47I'm not most people.
00:41:51So...
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 so...
00:42:08I'm starting to get that.
00:42:15Show me.
00:42:17You sure?
00:42:19Are you?
00:42:49Yeah.
00:42:59So?
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...
00:43:15and they need you there.
00:43:16Final deal points.
00:43:17Jack's leaving in 30.
00:43:18I packed your bag...
00:43:19and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:23Lily, wait.
00:43:26Just go.
00:43:48The way I can explain.
00:43:51Can you?
00:43:55Guess 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.
00:44:24That's complicated.
00:44:26When isn't it with you?
00:44:28Look, maybe it's time to admit...
00:44:30this 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...
00:44:47so that's cool, but...
00:44:48I know.
00:44:49And the worst part is...
00:44:50I think I might actually be falling for it.
00:44:58Lily?
00:44:59Stand back.
00:45:00What?
00:45:01Stand back, Megan.
00:45:04Kid, kid, kid, kid, kid.
00:45:12Stop, motherfucker!
00:45:14Oh my God!
00:45:16Fuck you!
00:45:18Come on, let's go.
00:45:25What was that?
00:45:27Lessons with Jack.
00:45:29Jack taught you that?
00:45:31Yeah, yeah.
00:45:33Dude's getting better by a minute.
00:45:35I know.
00:45:39You okay?
00:45:41Yeah.
00:45:43God, things were supposed to be so simple.
00:45:46Now what?
00:45:48I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:51Oh, honey.
00:45:53Kid.
00:46:02What?
00:46:20He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:32Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:35How could you?
00:46:4111 months.
00:46:43Almost a year.
00:46:46We'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.
00:47:08About Lauren, Vivian.
00:47:10Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:13Oh, great.
00:47:15The press.
00:47:26These aren't real.
00:47:28Oh, 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.
00:47:52Tick tock, Mr. Thorne.
00:48:01Lily, wait.
00:48:04They're not real.
00:48:06You have to believe me.
00:48:08Like I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal?
00:48:11Like 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 for the transaction.
00:48:25That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:27That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:29That's not true.
00:48:31And you know it.
00:48:33Do I?
00:48:35Because from where I'm standing,
00:48:37you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:39You got a wife when you needed one
00:48:41and a body when you wanted one.
00:48:43Lily, that's not it.
00:48:45Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:47Tell me that there's not something more going on here
00:48:49with the business deal and your inheritance.
00:48:52Anything more to explain?
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.
00:49:19I never cared about any of that.
00:49:25I never cared about any of that.
00:49:39Hands up.
00:49:41Protect the face.
00:49:43No, don't.
00:49:45Go?
00:49:55Warren?
00:49:57Finally, look.
00:49:59About 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.
00:50:24I think I've found it.
00:50:48You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:50Watch me.
00:50:55Watch me.
00:51:03Hey.
00:51:05What 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
00:51:21who'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.
00:51:51What am I looking at here?
00:51:52Wire transfers, shell companies,
00:51:55all leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:57Lord.
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.
00:52:17Although 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 stopped playing their game.
00:52:40Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:41Every meeting, every call.
00:52:43Already 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.
00:53:02You're calling back, Megan?
00:53:12Fuck.
00:53:15Fuck.
00:53:46Oh, my God.
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 gonna go.
00:54:08If anything happens to her, that'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, don'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.
00:54:47Always 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!
00:55:31Lenny!
00:55:35Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:39Come 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.
00:56:10No, no, no, no.
00:56:14Lauren, she's there.
00:56:15Lily's there.
00:56:20Hold on, Lily.
00:56:21Hold on.
00:56:23Hold on, Lily.
00:56:24Hold on.
00:56:39Leave her alone!
00:56:40Sarah!
00:56:42Get away from my wife!
00:56:44Well, well.
00:56:46The 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.
00:57:04Oh.
00:57:06I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:17That's for my sister.
00:57:19You son of a bitch.
00:57:23Dad!
00:57:26Lily.
00:57:27About everything.
00:57:29The photos.
00:57:30Vivian.
00:57:32Now? Seriously?
00:57:34I love you.
00:57:36Not for any inheritance.
00:57:38Not for any deal.
00:57:40Just...
00:57:41you.
00:57:44I know.
00:57:53You.
00:57:54Stay right there.
00:57:56Come on, cover me.
00:58:08What the hell?
00:58:12This isn't...
00:58:13Possible?
00:58:17And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.
00:58:19Sign the papers.
00:58:20Sign the papers.
00:58:21Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:23That proves nothing.
00:58:25I think it might prove something.
00:58:26Yeah, and those 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...
00:58:40Are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:42You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:46I do.
00:58:50I do.
00:58:55Yes, thank you.
00:58:57Thanks.
00:59:01Now that's a story.
00:59:07Here to twist the knife?
00:59:08Actually...
00:59:10I'm here to get it right.
00:59:13Where did you...?
00:59:14Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:16Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:20So...
00:59:21No scandal piece?
00:59:22Oh...
00:59:23There'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.
00:59:34I'm a reporter.
00:59:35Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:37Though I must admit,
00:59:38I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:42Yeah, neither did I.
00:59:44Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:46Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:55The way about the inheritance...
00:59:57You really think that I care about any of that now?
01:00:04Just take me home.
01:00:07Yes, dear.
01:00:14Slut's coming up.
01:00:16Must be a new record.
01:00:19It is for me.
01:00:22Any regrets?
01:00:24Only one.
01:00:27That I didn't get your chef's special sooner.
01:00:29Could have saved us a lot of trouble.
01:00:31Yeah.
01:00:36Excuse me, sir.
01:00:37Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:40How bad is it?
01:00:41What?
01:00:42Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:45She's included the last bit you wanted put in.
01:00:59Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:01:02In a shocking turn of events,
01:01:03tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans
01:01:06to transform his inherited fortune
01:01:08into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:12Surprised?
01:01:15But your...
01:01:16Your inheritance is gone.
01:01:19My inheritance, yeah.
01:01:21But turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:23You sold the company?
01:01:26Turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:36My turn.
01:01:37I don't know.
01:01:43Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:44Keep them 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?
01:02:11Sir?
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.
01:02:27Hang on.
01:02:35Voila.
01:02:36Hmm.
01:02:40And 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.
01:03:11You have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:14Done.
01:03:16Second.
01:03:17No more locked rooms.
01:03:20Without me in it.
01:03:23Is that all?
01:03:25Third.
01:03:27You 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?
01:03:34Actually...
01:03:40Is that...
01:03:41Something old.
01:03:42Something new.
01:03:44Something borrowed.
01:03:45Something...
01:03:48Not one.
01:03:56For better or worse.
01:03:58For real this time.
01:04:01You make us the brightest.
01:04:03You make us the brightest.
01:04:05Okay.
01:04:20So.
01:04:21Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:24What are you...
01:04:28Lauren, tell me back.
01:04:33Oh!
01:04:34Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:39I don't know.
01:04:40Mr. 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?
01:04:52And kiss your wife?
01:05:02To be continued...
