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.
00:02:42Asshole.
00:03:00Please.
00:03:01Oh, God.
00:03:02Don't scream.
00:03:03Don't scream, baby.
00:03:04Or do you know what's next?
00:03:06Scream for me.
00:03:07Please.
00:03:09Hey.
00:03:10No.
00:03:11No.
00:03:12Hey, wait.
00:03:38Not now, Werner.
00:03:39Jack, my man.
00:03:40Que paso?
00:03:41So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:42When are you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:43The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:44Yeah.
00:03:45Yeah, come on.
00:03:46Are you even listening?
00:03:47I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:03:48And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:03:49Are you going to be that guy?
00:03:50No.
00:03:51No.
00:03:52No.
00:03:53No.
00:03:54No.
00:03:55No.
00:03:56No.
00:03:57No.
00:03:58No.
00:03:59No.
00:04:00No.
00:04:01No.
00:04:02No.
00:04:03No.
00:04:04No.
00:04:05No.
00:04:06No.
00:04:07What?
00:04:08Um...
00:04:09How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:17Maybe next time.
00:04:18Thanks.
00:04:19Call me.
00:04:20I'll call you back.
00:04:21Jack, come on.
00:04:22Lock.
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, I've got just the plan.
00:04:46Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:56How am I going to find her again?
00:05:04You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:06You out of your mind?
00:05:07Vivian and I are done, never again.
00:05:11She's just business now.
00:05:13Very well, sir.
00:05:15Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:18I'll find another wife.
00:05:19I'm afraid not, but the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:25You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:30I know, I know.
00:05:31And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.
00:05:35The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:38And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause, especially
00:05:44your wife.
00:05:45Or I'll lose everything.
00:05:51Everything.
00:05:59Don't complain about-
00:06:01I don't complain.
00:06:02I don't.
00:06:03All I'm saying is, you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:06I am living in the real world.
00:06:10Really?
00:06:14Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:18Creative differences.
00:06:21There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:24Lily, you've got to open up your own place.
00:06:28You're a chef, not a fucking line cook, so you've got to show the world what you've got.
00:06:33Besides, I have my share of money, but without yours, we're never going to be able to afford
00:06:39Mom's operation.
00:06:40Yeah, and it'll be all my fault.
00:06:45Lily, there is an opening at my office.
00:06:50Seriously?
00:06:51It's stable.
00:06:53Health insurance.
00:06:54401K.
00:06:55I'd rather die.
00:06:56You'd rather be broke.
00:06:58No, I'd rather-
00:07:05How can you help Mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:13Fine.
00:07:14Yeah, you're right.
00:07:16Let's do it.
00:07:27Come on.
00:07:41Hi.
00:07:45Name?
00:07:46Lily Dunning.
00:07:47Can I help you?
00:07:49Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:51My sister's Megan, she works here.
00:07:54Last place of employment?
00:07:56Chez Francois.
00:07:58A restaurant?
00:07:59Yes, I'm a chef. My passion is cooking, so I...
00:08:03And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:05No. No, of course not.
00:08:09And why do you think someone like you could work here?
00:08:14I just need a job. Sorry, I'm...
00:08:18Thanks. We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:23You can go now. Bye-bye.
00:08:26Fuck.
00:08:33Screw this.
00:08:37Fuck.
00:08:48What are you looking at?
00:08:56I'm sorry, Mom. I've tried everything, and I've let you down.
00:09:00You?
00:09:04Me.
00:09:07You dropped something.
00:09:10How did you...?
00:09:14What are you doing here?
00:09:17I have a proposition for you.
00:09:19Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:23Well, hold on. Just hear me out. I 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?
00:09:47I'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. I 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. I 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.
00:10:16I thought you'd think I'm good at walking away.
00:10:22Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:24Well, anything you want.
00:10:26Money.
00:10:27A place to live.
00:10:28Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:31Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:41Wow.
00:10:44Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
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.
00:11:18I'm sorry.
00:11:34This is, um...
00:11:38specific.
00:11:39I like clarity.
00:11:48Wife agrees to perform.
00:11:54Very specific.
00:11:58Is there a problem?
00:12:01Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:05What's going on here?
00:12:08No.
00:12:14I'm saying yes.
00:12:26To everything.
00:12:37To everything.
00:12:46This is insane.
00:12:47Shut up, Warren.
00:12:53This is fucking nuts.
00:12:54Shut the fuck up.
00:12:57I do.
00:13:07I do.
00:13:08I do.
00:13:09I do.
00:13:10I do.
00:13:11I do.
00:13:12I do.
00:13:13I do.
00:13:14I do.
00:13:15I do.
00:13:16I do.
00:13:17I do.
00:13:18I do.
00:13:19I do.
00:13:20I do.
00:13:21I do.
00:13:22I do.
00:13:23I do.
00:13:24I do.
00:13:25I do.
00:13:26I do.
00:13:27I do.
00:13:28I do.
00:13:29I do.
00:13:30I do.
00:13:31I do.
00:13:32I do.
00:13:33I do.
00:13:34I do.
00:13:35I do.
00:13:37I do.
00:13:48This marriage, it's just a contract?
00:13:57Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
00:14:06Good night, husband.
00:14:26And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:30The 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?
00:14:54No doubts, madam.
00:15:01And this room is the, um, oh 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.
00:16:16Problem?
00:16:20This is a lot.
00:16:24The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions, including tonight's charity
00:16:29gala.
00:16:30I, I can't accept this.
00:16:32You can, and you will.
00:16:35Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:42You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:45Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:58Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:17:00Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:09Hi.
00:17:15And then I said, do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:18I don't need a knife.
00:17:19I need a chainsaw.
00:17:20Oh, okay.
00:17:22Jackie, there you are.
00:17:25Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:27We simply must celebrate.
00:17:30Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:33That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:37I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:45My God, this is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:49I'm sorry, but I didn't, I didn't even do anything.
00:17:52Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:54Waitstaff Training School?
00:17:56Vivian.
00:17:59Oh, that was it.
00:18:01She was actually a waitress.
00:18:03Or, I don't remember, whatever it was.
00:18:06Excuse me.
00:18:09So, what you guys have, we're done with the eggs.
00:18:18So, as I was saying.
00:18:39You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:19:10Wow.
00:19:12Good?
00:19:14Surprisingly good.
00:19:15Surprisingly good?
00:19:18Well, payment for spying.
00:19:21Payment accepted.
00:19:23You know, a house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:33I had to make do.
00:19:35Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:37It's a shame.
00:19:46You can go now.
00:19:49Bye.
00:20:03You, um, wanted 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...
00:20:20Number one.
00:20:21Stance.
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.
00:20:38Now, like this.
00:20:41Oh, God, sorry.
00:20:47I'm really good at this.
00:20:49We're just getting started.
00:20:52Well, maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:57Rule number one.
00:21:00Stance.
00:21:02Right?
00:21:18Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:21I, um, a business expense?
00:21:26Business expense.
00:21:29These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:33The best knives to the best chef?
00:21:36Yeah.
00:21:38I mean, I don't know.
00:21:43The best knives in the market.
00:21:45The best knives to the best chef?
00:21:50Why are you doing this?
00:21:52The 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.
00:22:10I know that, um...
00:22:13This doesn't change anything.
00:22:15Of course not.
00:22:21This is for your mother.
00:22:28No, this is too much.
00:22:30This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:33At least I can do it.
00:22:38That's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
00:22:42What's the catch?
00:22:55We've got a problem.
00:22:56Morning to you, too.
00:22:58So the inheritance release date is set, but if 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.
00:23:08Is it?
00:23:12Because it seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...
00:23:14I said it's handled.
00:23:26Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:29This Morrison deal is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:36Don't tell me you're actually fooled.
00:23:37Get out.
00:24:06Get out.
00:24:37Get out.
00:24:38Get out.
00:24:39Get out.
00:24:40Get out.
00:24:41Get out.
00:24:42Get out.
00:24:43Get out.
00:24:44Get out.
00:24:45Get out.
00:24:46Get out.
00:24:47Get out.
00:24:48Get out.
00:24:49Get out.
00:24:50Get out.
00:24:51Get out.
00:24:52Get out.
00:24:53Get out.
00:24:54Get out.
00:24:55Get out.
00:24:56Get out.
00:24:57Get out.
00:24:58Get out.
00:24:59Get out.
00:25:00Get out.
00:25:01Get out.
00:25:02Get out.
00:25:03Get out.
00:25:04Get out.
00:25:06Get out.
00:25:12Oh, no.
00:25:13God.
00:25:28Jack, darling, about to seeing you here.
00:25:31Vivienne.
00:25:32The 82 crystal.
00:25:34Remember the crystal jack?
00:25:37I 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 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
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...
00:26:34Oh.
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.
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.
00:27:24Oh.
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.
00:28:09Nice. Real mature.
00:28:14No, don't.
00:28:17Okay. Okay, fine.
00:28:20You want to go?
00:28:22No.
00:28:25No, no, please.
00:28:30Okay, go ahead.
00:28:31No.
00:28:32Yeah, yeah.
00:28:33No, no, no, no.
00:28:34Let go.
00:28:36No.
00:28:37No.
00:28:38No.
00:28:39Ow!
00:28:46Yeah.
00:29:10Yeah.
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 the problem.
00:29:26Hmm.
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.
00:29:35No, I've done my part.
00:29:37That's the other way.
00:29:38And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:42I have everything under control.
00:29:45Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.
00:29:47You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack.
00:29:50You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:53I've just begun.
00:29:58I've got it.
00:30:11Funny 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?
00:30:42Remember Tokyo?
00:30:44That sake bar?
00:30:46I'm married.
00:30:49Are you now?
00:30:52I hadn't noticed.
00:30:54Uh-oh.
00:30:55You know that feeling?
00:30:57When you leave the house
00:30:59and you just feel like
00:31:01you've forgotten something?
00:31:12I forgot something.
00:31:15Maybe you can
00:31:18help 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.
00:31:37I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:40And he just absolutely
00:31:42laps up
00:31:44every drop
00:31:46of my coffee.
00:31:49Isn't that right?
00:31:51Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:58So,
00:32:01how's Vivian?
00:32:03Focus on your form.
00:32:05You know, I was just wondering
00:32:07how long the two of you...
00:32:09It's history.
00:32:11That's not what I heard.
00:32:13From who?
00:32:14Around.
00:32:16Tokyo 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
00:32:38that you haven't been sharing with me?
00:32:41I think Vivian wants some of it, too.
00:32:44But you know what?
00:32:47Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:51Sad.
00:32:52Watch your stance.
00:32:58I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:01I'm not lying, Lily.
00:33:05Don't break my heart.
00:33:08Yeah.
00:33:39What?
00:33:43Yeah, 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.
00:34:09You sure?
00:34:17Like that?
00:34:21I think your technique could use some work.
00:34:24They got the dota rights.
00:34:28You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:38What?
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.
00:35:05Um, actually, I...
00:35:07Tell me, what's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:10Um, I think...
00:35:14No comment? How surprising.
00:35:16Excuse me.
00:35:18Great thinking, Lily.
00:35:20All of our drinks could use a refill.
00:35:38Uh-huh.
00:35:41Okay.
00:35:44Love you.
00:35:53But this thing isn't gonna last forever, Jack.
00:35:56I don't know.
00:35:58I mean, what choice do you have?
00:36:00Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:36:02Unless you want to 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?
00:37:18I 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?
00:37:36Really?
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.
00:37:50I see. Thank you.
00:37:52Would you like me to cancel the trips?
00:37:57Yeah.
00:37:59Very good.
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.
00:38:24Lil' Bae, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:26Just shut up and taste this.
00:38:33Mm.
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.
00:39:00Talking about us.
00:39:04How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:20Oh!
00:39:21Oh, my God.
00:39:23What 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 what I saw.
00:40:05I'm worried.
00:40:06You okay?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:18Yeah.
00:40:22This is so insane.
00:40:26It'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.
00:40:52Hey, 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.
00:41:29Most people run.
00:41:32I'm not most people.
00:41:38So...
00:41:41this is what you're into?
00:41:44Among other things.
00:41:46I'm not.
00:41:48I'm not.
00:41:50I'm not.
00:41:52I'm not.
00:41:54I'm not.
00:41:56This is what you're into?
00:41:58Among other things.
00:42:00And all of those...
00:42:03specific requirements?
00:42:05We're about to scare you off.
00:42:07I don't scare you.
00:42:09I'm starting to get that.
00:42:16Show me.
00:42:18Are you sure?
00:42:20Are you?
00:42:26Are you?
00:42:57So?
00:43:00So.
00:43:08Sir, Miss Chase is here.
00:43:10She says it's urgent.
00:43:12Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there.
00:43:15Final deal points.
00:43:17Jack's leaving in 30.
00:43:19I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:22Lily, wait.
00:43:25Just go.
00:43:56The way I can explain.
00:43:59Can you?
00:44:04Guess the business can't wait.
00:44:15This whole thing is...
00:44:17Let me get this straight.
00:44:19You sleep with him and then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:22It's complicated.
00:44:24When isn't it with you?
00:44:26Look, maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:29What? A mistake?
00:44:31That you were right?
00:44:33Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:35No, I want you to be happy.
00:44:38And are you?
00:44:40I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:43I mean, he paid for mom's operation, so that's cool, but...
00:44:46I know.
00:44:48And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for...
00:44:51Lily?
00:44:53Stand back.
00:44:55What?
00:44:57Stand back, Megan.
00:44:59Okay, okay, okay.
00:45:02Lily!
00:45:07Get your hands off!
00:45:09Go, motherfucker!
00:45:11Oh, my God!
00:45:13Fuck you!
00:45:15Come on, let's go.
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.
00:45:36I know.
00:45:40You okay?
00:45:42Yeah.
00:45:44God, things were supposed to be so simple.
00:45:47What?
00:45:49I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:52Oh, honey, I can't...
00:46:18He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:33Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:36How could you?
00:46:42Eleven months.
00:46:44Almost a year.
00:46:47I barely knew limits anymore.
00:47:00Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:47:02I'm all ears.
00:47:04It's about the deal.
00:47:06About Lauren, Vivian.
00:47:08Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:11Oh, great.
00:47:13The press.
00:47:15Yes.
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, I...
00:47:43For a minute, I really believed.
00:47:46Lily, wait.
00:47:50They're not real.
00:47:52Tick tock, Mr. Thorne.
00:48:05Lily, wait.
00:48:07They're not real.
00:48:09You 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.
00:48:20Like, I believed that last night actually meant something.
00:48:23It did.
00:48:25Lily, what happened between us was for the transaction.
00:48:28That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:31That's not true.
00:48:33And you know it.
00:48:34Do I?
00:48:36Because from where I'm standing,
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.
00:48:47Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:48Tell me that there's not something more going on here.
00:48:51With the business deal and your inheritance.
00:48:54Anything more to explain?
00:49:02That's what I thought.
00:49:06You'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.
00:49:36Hands up.
00:49:38Protect the face.
00:49:40No, don't.
00:49:43Go?
00:49:44No.
00:49:54Morn.
00:49:55Finally, look.
00:49:56About the Morrison deal.
00:49:58It's off.
00:49:59What do you mean, it's off?
00:50:01All of it.
00:50:02The deal.
00:50:03The inheritance.
00:50:04I don't want any of it.
00:50:05Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:07I mean, everything that we've worked for.
00:50:09Actually...
00:50:13I think I've found it.
00:50:35You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:38Watch me.
00:50:53Hey.
00:50:55I'm sorry.
00:50:57I'm sorry.
00:50:59I'm sorry.
00:51:01I'm sorry.
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,
00:51:21who's a total drama queen.
00:51:23Watch.
00:51:24Gladys?
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.
00:52:02They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:07Son of a bitch.
00:52:09He'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.
00:52:30Sir?
00:52:32They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:34Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:37Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:39Every meeting, every call.
00:52:41Already compiled, sir.
00:52:42I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:44Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:46Some things are worth more than money.
00:52:59Calling back, Megan?
00:53:30Oh, no.
00:53:45Oh.
00:53:46Oh, my God.
00:53:53I got us into this.
00:53:55I can get us out of this.
00:53:56I can do this.
00:53:58I can do this.
00:54:00Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.
00:54:05And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:54:08If anything happens to her, 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.
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.
00:54:45You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:47Always have.
00:54:52I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:54Hmm.
00:54:57Wait.
00:55:17Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:23Remember your training.
00:55:26Protect your face.
00:55:31Megan!
00:55:32Lily!
00:55:36Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:39Please, it's a trap.
00:55:41Come on.
00:55:46Of course it's a trap.
00:55:49The question is...
00:55:52What are you going to do about it?
00:55:54Lily!
00:55:57I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:56:00Room 115.
00:56:02Lauren's called the police.
00:56:03Already done.
00:56:04But sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:06She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:13No, no, no, no, no.
00:56:17Lauren, she's there.
00:56:18Lily's there.
00:56:23Hold on, Lily, hold on.
00:56:27Shit.
00:56:39Leave her alone!
00:56:40Shut up!
00:56:42Get away from my wife!
00:56:44Well, well.
00:56:46The hero arrives.
00:56:49Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:51Fuck.
00:56:53I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:56That's my girl.
00:57:06I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:17That's for my sister.
00:57:19You son of a bitch.
00:57:27Lily, about everything.
00:57:30The photos, Vivian.
00:57:32Now? Seriously?
00:57:34I love you.
00:57:36Not for any inheritance, not for any deal.
00:57:40Just... you.
00:57:45I know.
00:57:49Fuck.
00:57:54You, stay right there.
00:57:56Come on, cover me.
00:58:08What the hell?
00:58:13This isn't...
00:58:14Possible?
00:58:16And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.
00:58:19Sign the papers.
00:58:20Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:23That proves nothing.
00:58:24I think it might prove something.
00:58:26Yeah, and those photos that you planted?
00:58:28Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:30You can't.
00:58:31Yes, they can.
00:58:33And you 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, I'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, no scandal piece?
00:59:22Oh, there's definitely a scandal.
00:59:25But not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:30That's actually accurate.
00:59:33I'm a reporter.
00:59:35Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:37Though I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:41Yeah, neither did they.
00:59:44Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:46Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:55The way about the inheritance...
00:59:56You really think I care about any of that now?
01:00:04Just take me home.
01:00:07Yes, dear.
01:00:11I love you.
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 I didn't get your chef's special sooner.
01:00:31Could have saved us a lot of trouble.
01:00:33Yeah.
01:00:34Ow.
01:00:36Excuse me, sir.
01:00:38Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:40How bad is it?
01:00:42Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:44She's included the last bit you wanted put in.
01:00:59Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:01:01In a shocking turn of events,
01:01:03tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans
01:01:05to transform his inherited fortune
01:01:07into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:11Surprised?
01:01:14But your inheritance is gone.
01:01:18My inheritance, yeah.
01:01:20But turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:23You sold the company?
01:01:25Turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:27More than money.
01:01:36My turn.
01:01:37I don't know.
01:01:44Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:45Keep them thin, okay? Just like that.
01:01:58This looks good on you.
01:02:01And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:05Suckers.
01:02:06Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:10Depends.
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 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?
01:03:24Third, 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, something new, something borrowed, something...
01:03:48Not one.
01:03:55For better or worse, for real this time.
01:04:01You make us the bride.
01:04:18So, are 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, Mr. Thorne.
01:04:44Can you handle them?
01:04:46I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:48How about you just shut up and kiss your wife?
