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 fairytale 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 want to tell us about, Jack?
00:01:12Jack?
00:01:13Jack?
00:01:14Hello?
00:01:15Yeah, the dog.
00:01:16Hi.
00:01:17Hi.
00:01:18You ordered the special?
00:01:31Actually, I ordered the- Trust me.
00:01:35Who is that girl?
00:01:38Something about her.
00:01:39It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:42Well, that was presumptuous.
00:01:44The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?
00:01:47Don't tell me you're actually impressed by that little slut, Jack.
00:01:49It looks good.
00:01:51The food or the waitress?
00:02:02And 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?
00:02:14I 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.
00:02:20You get 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.
00:02:29I'm taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:35Yeah, the trash.
00:02:40Asshole.
00:02:42I'm sorry.
00:02:44I'm sorry.
00:02:46I'm sorry.
00:02:48I'm sorry.
00:02:50I'm sorry.
00:02:52I'm sorry.
00:02:54I'm sorry.
00:02:56I'm sorry.
00:02:58I'm sorry.
00:03:00Don't scream.
00:03:02Don't scream, baby.
00:03:05Or do you want to scream for me?
00:03:08Hey!
00:03:18Hey, wait!
00:03:37Jack, my man, cupasso, so I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:53When are you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:54The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:55Yeah.
00:03:56Yeah, come on.
00:03:57Are you even listening?
00:03:58I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:03:59And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:04:00Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:01Um, how can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:14Maybe next time.
00:04:17Thanks.
00:04:18Call me.
00:04:19I'll call you back.
00:04:20Jack, come on.
00:04:21Yeah, lock on me.
00:04:22Jack's never done that before.
00:04:23If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:24I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:04:25And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:04:26Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:27How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:28Maybe next time.
00:04:29Thanks.
00:04:30I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison deal, then the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:31We're over.
00:04:32Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:33I've got just the plan.
00:04:34Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:35How am I going to find her again?
00:04:36How am I going to find her again?
00:04:37How am I going to find her again?

00:05:39How am I going to find her again?
00:05:40You must not tell a soul about the marriage clause.
00:05:44Especially your wife.
00:05:46Or I lose everything.
00:05:48Everything.
00:05:59Don'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.
00:06:06I am living in the real world.
00:06:11Really?
00:06:12Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:15Creative differences.
00:06:18There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:22Lily.
00:06:24You've got to open up your own place.
00:06:26You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:28So you've got to show the world what you've 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.
00:06:37Yeah, and it'll be all my fault.
00:06:40Lily.
00:06:43There is an opening at my office.
00:06:46Seriously?
00:06:47It's stable.
00:06:48Health insurance. 401K.
00:06:51I'd rather die.
00:06:52You'd rather be broke.
00:06:53No, I'd rather...
00:07:01How can you help mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
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.
00:07:35Lily.
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.
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.
00:08:10And why 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.
00:08:33Screw 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...?
00:09:15What are you doing here?
00:09:17I have a proposition for you.
00:09:19Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:23Well, hold on. Just hear me out.
00:09:26I heard you get fired.
00:09:27I know you don't have any money.
00:09:30Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.
00:09:32I'm doing fine, thank you.
00:09:35Really?
00:09:38What if I told you this proposition could solve all your problems?
00:09:43Really? Solve all my problems?
00:09:47I've got a lot of problems.
00:09:49What 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!
00:09:55Look, listen.
00:09:57I have a very important business deal with some very important people involved.
00:10:01And they 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.
00:10:16What, you think I'm good at walking away?
00:10:26Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:28Well, anything you want.
00:10:30Money, a place to live, complete 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.
00:10:56Yeah.
00:11:05You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:07My own wing?
00:11:09Complete privacy.
00:11:11But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:13Play the happy wife.
00:11:25Okay.
00:11:35This is, um...
00:11:38Specific?
00:11:40I like clarity.
00:11:50Wife agrees to perform...
00:11:55Very...
00:11:57Specific.
00:11:59Is there a problem?
00:12:02Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:06What's going on here?
00:12:17I'm saying yes.
00:12:26To everything.
00:12:41Do you, Jack Thorne...
00:12:45This is insane.
00:12:47Shut up, boy.
00:12:49Take Lily Dunin to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:53This is fucking nuts.
00:12:55Shut the fuck up.
00:12:58I do.
00:13:01I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:25This marriage, it's...
00:13:27It's just a contract.
00:13:56Well...
00:13:59I think that the contract says that...
00:14:03This is my room.
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 and the east wing pool.
00:14:51How do you find anything in here?
00:14:53One adopts, madam.
00:14:56And this room is the...
00:15:01Oh, dear.
00:15:04Would you excuse me?
00:15:06Of course.
00:15:07Apologies.
00:15:25What are you doing here?
00:15:47What are you doing here?
00:15:56Shit.
00:16:12Oh, my gosh.
00:16:18Problem?
00:16:21This is...
00:16:23A lot.
00:16:24The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions.
00:16:28Including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:31I can't accept this.
00:16:32You can.
00:16:33And you will.
00:16:35Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:43You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:45Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:55Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:58Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:13And then I said,
00:17:14Do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:16I don't need a knife.
00:17:17I need a chainsaw.
00:17:18Okay.
00:17:20Jackie, there you are.
00:17:22Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:24We simply must celebrate.
00:17:27Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:30That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:34I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:41Oh, my God.
00:17:43This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:46I'm sorry, but I didn't even...
00:17:48Do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:50I didn't even...
00:17:52Do anything.
00:17:53Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:54Waitress staff training school?
00:17:56Vivian.
00:17:59Oh, that was it.
00:18:01She was actually a waitress.
00:18:03Or, I don't remember.
00:18:04Whatever it was.
00:18:06Excuse me.
00:18:10So, what you got to say, Hive?
00:18:12We're done with the ex.
00:18:13The ex.
00:18:19As I was saying...
00:18:44You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:19:11Wow.
00:19:13Good?
00:19:14Surprisingly good.
00:19:15Surprisingly good?
00:19:19Well, payment for spying.
00:19:22Payment accepted.
00:19:24You know, a house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:33I had to make do.
00:19:35Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:37It's a shame.
00:19:44You can go now.
00:20:01You, um...
00:20:03Wanted to see me.
00:20:05Time for your first lesson.
00:20:07My 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.
00:20:44I'm not really good at this.
00:20:48We're just getting started.
00:20:50Um...
00:20:52Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:55Rule number one.
00:20:58Stance.
00:21:00Right?
00:21:13Okay.
00:21:32Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:34I, um...
00:21:36A business expense?
00:21:39Business expense.
00:21:41These are...
00:21:43The best knives on the market.
00:21:45The 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.
00:21:57Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:22:01Maybe...
00:22:04You just like watching me.
00:22:10You know that, um...
00:22:13This 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.
00:22:35I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
00:22:39What's the catch?
00:22:53We've got a problem.
00:22:54Morning to you, too.
00:22:56So, the inheritance release date is set, but...
00:22:58If anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:23:00No one's gonna find out.
00:23:01Oh, really?
00:23:02Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:23:04It's under control.
00:23:06Is it?
00:23:09Because it seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...
00:23:11I said it's handled.
00:23:24Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:26This Morrison deal?
00:23:27Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:29This Morrison deal?
00:23:32It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:36Don't tell me you're actually fooling me.
00:23:37Get out.
00:23:57Get out.
00:24:27Get out.
00:24:28Get out.
00:24:57Get out!
00:25:12Oh, no.
00:25:14God.
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.
00:25:51Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:53This must be so boring for you.
00:25:55You're so insightful, Vivian.
00:25:57You do bore me.
00:26:00Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:26:03Why don't you go back to, like, chopping, or whatever it is that you do.
00:26:08So basically, you know the company way that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:11I had a business meeting with Hannah today,
00:26:13and she has basically advised me to say that our investments are not making any profit,
00:26:17because me, myself, isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:20So my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:26...
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. Social 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?
00:27:04Love 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.
00:27:18We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:20I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:25Huh.
00:27:31Oh, the Morrison Foundation dinner's tonight.
00:27:33Oh, great. Another dinner.
00:27:35It's important.
00:27:37They'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?
00:27:48At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:51To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:56Whatever.
00:28:08Hm.
00:28:09Nice. Real mature.
00:28:14No, don't.
00:28:17Okay. Okay, fine.
00:28:20You want to go?
00:28:22Nope.
00:28:25No, no, please.
00:28:30Okay, go ahead.
00:28:31No, no, no.
00:28:32Yeah, yeah.
00:28:33No, no, no, no.
00:28:34No, no, no, no.
00:28:35Let go.
00:28:36No.
00:28:37Ah!
00:28:38No.
00:28:39Ow!
00:28:46Yeah.
00:29:10Yeah.
00:29:13Wow.
00:29:17So, Jack's inheritance is all set.
00:29:20But he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:24That's a problem.
00:29:26Hm.
00:29:27It's the girl, isn't it?
00:29:29The waitress.
00:29:30You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:33And I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:35Oh, I've done my part.
00:29:37That's under way.
00:29:38And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:43I have everything under control.
00:29:45At least 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.
00:30:01Hm.
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.
00:30:19Okay, thanks.
00:30:22Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study?
00:30:25We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:33Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal?
00:30:40Vivian?
00:30:43Remember Tokyo?
00:30:45That sake bar?
00:30:47I'm married.
00:30:50Oh, you know.
00:30:52I hadn't noticed.
00:30:54Uh-oh.
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?
00:31:22Coffee?
00:31:25Oh, no thank you.
00:31:27Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:30Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:33Do you, Jack?
00:31:34Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:36I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:40And he just absolutely laps up every drop of my coffee.
00:31:49Isn't that right?
00:31:51Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:56So.
00:31:59How's Vivian?
00:32:01Focus on your form.
00:32:03You know, I was just wondering.
00:32:06How long with two of you?
00:32:07Ancient history.
00:32:09That's not what I heard.
00:32:11From who?
00:32:12Around.
00:32:14Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:16You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:18You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:21That's business.
00:32:23That's business.
00:32:25Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:29But 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.
00:32:49Sad.
00:32:51Watch your stance.
00:32:57I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:00I'm not lying, Lily.
00:33:04Don't break my heart.
00:33:07Yeah.
00:33:19Yeah.
00:33:44Yeah, the sky is so gray today.
00:33:45I hate it so much.
00:33:47Please act like you know me.
00:33:48Who's following me?
00:33:49Oh my god, are you okay?
00:33:51Who's following you?
00:33:53That weirdo?
00:34:00Is he gone?
00:34:01I think he's gone.
00:34:11You sure?
00:34:18You like that?
00:34:22I think your technique could use some work.
00:34:25They got the dota rights.
00:34:29Sure, that wasn't me.
00:34:49What?
00:34:55Of course.
00:34:56And I think the real challenge is market penetration in emerging economies.
00:35:01I'm sure Jack's brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:35:04Um, actually, I...
00:35:07Tell me, what's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:10Um, I think...
00:35:13No comment?
00:35:15How surprising.
00:35:16Excuse me.
00:35:18Oh, great thinking, Lily.
00:35:20All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:44Love you.
00:35:48Love you too.
00:35:54But this thing isn't gonna last forever, Jack.
00:35:57I don't know.
00:35:59I mean, what choice do you have?
00:36:01Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:36:03Unless you wanna lose this deal forever.
00:36:07Lunch?
00:36:11I was just on my way out.
00:36:15Think about it, Jack.
00:36:18What?
00:36:25What was that about?
00:36:27Nothing. Just business.
00:36:29Just business. Of course.
00:36:32Lily, wait.
00:36:38What do you want, Jack?
00:36:49I'm taking you on a holiday.
00:36:51What? You have time for that?
00:36:54A lot of time.
00:36:57Just us?
00:36:59I know what I want.
00:37:04Oh, what about, um...
00:37:06What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:08I don't know.
00:37:10I don't know.
00:37:12I don't know.
00:37:14I don't know.
00:37:16What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:18I can wait.
00:37:22There she is.
00:37:24What?
00:37:26That smile.
00:37:28It'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?
00:37:37Really?
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.
00:37:49Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:51I see. Thank you.
00:37:53Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:58Yeah.
00:38:00Very good.
00:38:02Who sent the message?
00:38:04They didn't chase her.
00:38:09Lil' Bae, I'm sorry.
00:38:11Don't. Please.
00:38:13It's just business.
00:38:15It's business, yeah. I get it.
00:38:25Lil' Bae, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:27Just shut up and taste this.
00:38:38Mm. This 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.
00:39:00You're talking about us.
00:39:01Yes.
00:39:07How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:22Oh!
00:39:23Oh, my God.
00:39:26What was that?
00:39:32Any enemies?
00:39:34Business rivals?
00:39:37No one comes to mind.
00:39:39Security cameras?
00:39:42Being installed as we speak.
00:39:53Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:55Sorry.
00:39:58I thought I saw...
00:40:00I thought I saw...
00:40:05Aroid.
00:40:06You okay?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:18Yeah.
00:40:22This is so insane.
00:40:26It's probably just kids.
00:40:27Kids?
00:40:29Seriously.
00:40:31Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:32Oh, sorry.
00:40:34What, are you afraid that someone's gonna hear...
00:40:37About our perfect marriage?
00:40:45What are you hiding from me?
00:40:50Hey.
00:40:53Hey, you know that secret room...
00:40:55That you did it on me that night?
00:40:59I found it.
00:41:02Yeah?
00:41:07Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:13Do you wanna see it?
00:41:15Show me.
00:41:29Okay.
00:41:45Most people run.
00:41:47I'm not most people.
00:41:52So...
00:41:55This is what you're into?
00:41:56Among other things.
00:41:58And all of those...
00:42:01Specific...
00:42:02Requirements?
00:42:03We're meant to scare you off.
00:42:05I don't scare you, son.
00:42:07I'm starting to get that.
00:42:14Show me.
00:42:16You sure?
00:42:18Are you?
00:42:26What the hell?
00:42:54What the hell?
00:42:57So?
00:43:00So...
00:43:07Sir, Miss Chase is here.
00:43:09She says it's urgent.
00:43:11Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there.
00:43:14Final deal points.
00:43:15Jack's leaving in 30.
00:43:17I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:21Lily, wait.
00:43:23Lily, wait.
00:43:26Just go.
00:43:52The way I can explain.
00:43:55Can you?
00:43:59Guess them business can't wait.
00:44:09This whole thing is...
00:44:11Let me get this straight.
00:44:13You sleep with them.
00:44:14You're not sleeping with them.
00:44:16I'm not sleeping with them.
00:44:18I'm not sleeping with them.
00:44:20I'm not sleeping with them.
00:44:22And then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:24It's complicated.
00:44:26When isn't it with you?
00:44:28Look, 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...
00:44:48I know.
00:44:49And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for...
00:44:52You.
00:44:58Lily?
00:44:59Stand back.
00:45:00What?
00:45:01Stand back, Megan.
00:45:06Key, key, key, key, key.
00:45:13Get him out!
00:45:14Go, motherfucker!
00:45:15Fucker!
00:45:16Oh my God!
00:45:17Fuck you!
00:45:19Come on, let's go.
00:45:22Oh, fuck.
00:45:26What was that?
00:45:28Lessons with Jack.
00:45:30Jack taught you that?
00:45:31Yeah.
00:45:32Yeah.
00:45:33Dude's getting better by a minute.
00:45:35I know.
00:45:36Oh, man.
00:45:40You okay?
00:45:41Yeah.
00:45:43Gosh, 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.
00:45:53I can't...
00:45:55I can't...
00:46:21He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:25Yeah.
00:46:35Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:38How could you?
00:46:44Eleven months.
00:46:46Almost a year.
00:46:49I barely knew Lewis anymore.
00:46:55I'm sorry.
00:47:04Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:47:06I'm all ears.
00:47:08It's about the deal.
00:47:09About Lauren, Vivian.
00:47:11Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:14Oh, great.
00:47:16The press.
00:47:25These 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.
00:47:38Care to comment, Mr. Thorne?
00:47:41You know, it's funny.
00:47:43For a minute, I really believed.
00:47:47Lily, wait.
00:47:50They're not real!
00:47:51They're not real!
00:47:53Tick tock, Mr. Thorne.
00:48:05Lily, wait.
00:48:08They're not real.
00:48:10You have to believe me.
00:48:11Like I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal?
00:48:15Like I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague?
00:48:18Like I believed that last night actually meant something?
00:48:21It did.
00:48:23Lily, what happened between us was-
00:48:24The transaction.
00:48:26That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:29That's not true.
00:48:30And you know it.
00:48:31Do I?
00:48:34Because from where I'm standing,
00:48:36you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:38You got a wife when you needed one,
00:48:40and a body when you wanted one.
00:48:42Lily, that's not it.
00:48:44Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:45Lily, that's not it.
00:48:46Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:47Tell me that there's not something more going on here.
00:48:50With the business deal and 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.
00:49:19I never cared about any of that.
00:49:39Hands up.
00:49:40Protect the face.
00:49:42No, don't.
00:49:43No, don't.
00:49:45Go?
00:49:56Warren.
00:49:57Finally, look.
00:49:58About the Morrison deal.
00:50:00It's off.
00:50:01What do you mean, it's off?
00:50:02All of it.
00:50:04The deal.
00:50:05The 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 heard it.
00:50:42What?
00:50:49You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:51Watch me.
00:51:04Hey.
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 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.
00:51:57Warren.
00:51:59I knew it!
00:52:00You might want to see these too, sir.
00:52:01They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:04Son of a bitch.
00:52:06He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:07He sure is.
00:52:09All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:52:13Although 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 you might need this.
00:52:45Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:47Some things are worth more than money.
00:52:50Call me.
00:53:03Calling back, Megan?
00:53:13Fuck.
00:53:19Fuck.
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...
00:54:09That's up to you.
00:54:12Sign the papers.
00:54:15And this all goes away.
00:54:17Like 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.
00:55:17Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:23Remember your training.
00:55:26Protect your face.
00:55:31Megan!
00:55:32Lenny!
00:55:36Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:39It's a trap.
00:55:41Come on.
00:55:43Of course it's a trap.
00:55:46The question is...
00:55:49What are you gonna do about it?
00:55:51Lenny!
00:55:55I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:55:57Room 115.
00:55:59Lauren's called the police.
00:56:00Already done.
00:56:01But sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:03She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:06Lauren, she's there.
00:56:07Lily's there.
00:56:12Hold on, Lily. Hold on.
00:56:14No, no, no, no.
00:56:17Lauren, she's there.
00:56:18Lily's there.
00:56:24Hold on, Lily. Hold on.
00:56:39Leave her alone!
00:56:40Shut up!
00:56:42Get away from my wife!
00:56:44Well, well.
00:56:46Our 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.
00:57:04Ah.
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? Seriously?
00:57:34I love you.
00:57:36Not for any inheritance.
00:57:38Not for any deal.
00:57:39Just...
00:57:41you.
00:57:44I know.
00:57:53You, stay right there.
00:57:55Come on, cover me.
00:57:57Come 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.
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.
00:58:26Yeah, 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, the...
00:58:40Are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:42You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:46I do.
00:58:47I do.
00:58:54Yes, thank you.
00:58:56Thanks.
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...
00:59:31actually accurate.
00:59:33I'm a reporter.
00:59:34Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:37Though I must admit,
00:59:38I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:41Yeah, neither did I.
00:59:42Neither did they.
00:59:44Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:46Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:55But what 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.
01:00:13I'm sorry.
01:00:16Slut'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.
01:00:39Ms. 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.
01:00:59Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:01:02In a shocking turn of events,
01:01:03tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans
01:01:05to transform his inherited fortune
01:01:08into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:12Surprised?
01:01:15But your inheritance is gone.
01:01:19My inheritance, yeah.
01:01:21But turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:24You sold the company?
01:01:26Turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:27More than money.
01:01:36My turn.
01:01:37Ow.
01:01:44Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:45Keep them thin, okay?
01:01:46Just like that.
01:01:58This looks good on you.
01:02:01And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:04Suckers.
01:02:06Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:09Depends.
01:02:11Did my wife make it?
01:02:13The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:16Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:27Hang on.
01:02:35Voila.
01:02:40I'm the best chef in town.
01:02:43You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:47I think that contract expired.
01:02:50Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:58We are gathered here today...
01:03:00No more business tales this time.
01:03:03Just love.
01:03:04Good.
01:03:06Because I have some terms off my own.
01:03:10First, you have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:14Done.
01:03:16Second, no more locked rooms.
01:03:20Without me in it.
01:03:23Is that all?
01:03:24Third, you have to mean it this time.
01:03:28I meant it the first time.
01:03:30Just didn't know yet.
01:03:32The 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.
01:03:55For better or worse...
01:03:57For real this time.
01:04:00You make us the bride.
01:04:18So...
01:04:19Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:21Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:24What are you...
01:04:28Lauren, tell me back.
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.
01:04:49How about you just shut up...
01:04:51And kiss your wife?
