00:00:00They say the most primal human things are fighting, and whoa, I was about to learn both.
00:00:16Every girl wants to find her prince charming, but unfortunately we don't exactly live in a
00:00:21fairytale world. There's no such thing as happily ever after. Where is the duck for table two?
00:00:28Table two ordered something special, chef.
00:00:33No, table two ordered the special and the special is the duck. What is this?
00:00:38Nothing.
00:00:39Yes, exactly. This is nothing now. The duck.
00:00:43Just do what your boss says, Lily. You can't afford to lose another job.
00:00:47How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?
00:00:50Table two, the duck.
00:00:52So I'm thinking about adopting a dog. You know, like the little tiny dogs that can fit in your
00:01:00handbag. They're so cute. So anyway, once your inheritance is secure, the Morrison deal is
00:01:05all in the bag. But what is this mystery clause you won't tell us about, Jack?
00:01:13Jack. Jack. Hello?
00:01:16Yeah, the dog.
00:01:21Hi.
00:01:24Hi.
00:01:29You ordered the special?
00:01:32Actually, I ordered the...
00:01:34Trust me.
00:01:35Who is that girl?
00:01:37Something about her.
00:01:40It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:41Wow. That was presumptuous.
00:01:44Huh?
00:01:44The waitress not bringing you what I ordered? Don't tell me you're actually impressed with
00:01:48that little slut, Jack.
00:01:49It looks good.
00:01:51The food or the waitress?
00:02:01And what do you think you are doing?
00:02:04I'm making something from this century.
00:02:06You know what? That's it. I've had enough. You are fired! Get out of here!
00:02:09Not this again.
00:02:10What did you say?
00:02:14I'm serious this time. You're fired! You get out of here!
00:02:17What?
00:02:18You take this! You give up your act! You get out!
00:02:21No, please, sir. It won't happen again!
00:02:22No, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy this time. You get out! You leave!
00:02:26Please!
00:02:26No! No!
00:02:27Go ahead! Full call!
00:02:28Man!
00:02:29You're tired!
00:02:32They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:36Yeah, the trash.
00:02:38Asshole!
00:02:59Oh, my God!
00:03:02Don't scream, don't scream, baby.
00:03:05Or do scream for me!
00:03:07Oh, my God!
00:03:07Ah, my God!
00:03:08Ah, my God!
00:03:12Hey!
00:03:12Ah!

00:16:24The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions,
00:16:28including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:30I can't accept this.
00:16:32You can, and you will.
00:16:35Unless you want to attend the event and chance.
00:16:40You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:45Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:58Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:17:01Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:10Hi.
00:17:15And then I said,
00:17:16do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:18I don't need a knife.
00:17:19I need a chainsaw.
00:17:20Okay.
00:17:22Jackie, there you are.
00:17:25Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:27We simply must celebrate.
00:17:29Oh, 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.
00:17:46This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:49I'm sorry, but I didn't even do anything.
00:17:53Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:54Wakestaff 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.
00:18:10So, what do you guys have?
00:18:12We're done with the ex.
00:18:18As I was saying.
00:18:20You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:46Wow.
00:19:12Good?
00:19:14Surprisingly good.
00:19:15Surprisingly good.
00:19:19Well, payment for spying.
00:19:21Payment accepted.
00:19:23You know, the house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:33I had to make do.
00:19:35You know, I never cook.
00:19:36Hmm.
00:19:37It's a shame.
00:19:38You can go now.
00:19:47You, um, wanted to see me.
00:20:06Time for your first lesson.
00:20:09My what?
00:20:15Self-defense.
00:20:17Never know when you might need it.
00:20:18I 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.
00:20:27And then move this foot forward.
00:20:30Good.
00:20:31Good.
00:20:31Good.
00:20:32Good.
00:20:32Good.
00:20:32Now, hands up.
00:20:34Protect the face.
00:20:36Good.
00:20:37Now, like this.
00:20:40Oh, God.
00:20:41I'm sorry.
00:20:42I'm not really good at this.
00:20:48We're just getting started.
00:20:51Well, maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:56Rule number one, stance.
00:21:01Right?
00:21:03Right?
00:21:03Oh, God.
00:21:25Every chef needs proper tools
00:21:33I have a business expense
00:21:37Business expense
00:21:40These are the best knives in the market
00:21:44The best knives are the best chef
00:21:46Why are you doing this?
00:21:51The contract
00:21:52No
00:21:53The real reason
00:21:56Maybe I just like watching you work
00:21:58Maybe
00:22:02You just like watching me
00:22:06You know that
00:22:11This doesn't change anything
00:22:14Of course not
00:22:21This is for your mother
00:22:22No, this is too much
00:22:30It should cover the whole thing
00:22:31They second it
00:22:34I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me
00:22:40What's the catch?
00:22:55We've got a problem
00:22:56Morning to you too
00:22:57So the inheritance release date is set
00:23:00But if anyone finds out about the marriage
00:23:02Then no 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?
00:23:12It seems like you're letting your feelings control your
00:23:15I said it's handled
00:23:16Just remember what's at stake here
00:23:28This Morrison deal
00:23:30Is a deal of a lifetime
00:23:33Don't tell me you're actually
00:23:37Get out
00:25:08Oh, no.
00:25:13God.
00:25:14Jack, darling.
00:25:30Fancy seeing you here.
00:25:31Vivian?
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.
00:25:41We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:44Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:46You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:48Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:53This must be so boring for you.
00:25:56You're so insightful, Vivian.
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 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, and she has basically advised me to say that
00:26:16our investments are not making any profit.
00:26:18The company itself isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:20So my proposal for next year would be basically
00:26:23Quite 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.
00:26:49Social pages.
00:26:50Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:54This must be some kind of record.
00:26:57Though lately I've been more interested in, uh, business deals.
00:27:01Hmm.
00:27:01What would you say?
00:27:04Love at first sight or something more contractual?
00:27:09You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:11Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:18We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:20I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:22I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:32The Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.
00:27:34Oh, great.
00:27:35Another dinner.
00:27:36It's important.
00:27:37They're all important.
00:27:38It's a part of the deal.
00:27:41They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:42You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:46Did I?
00:27:46At least Vivian will be there to talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:56Okay, whatever.
00:27:58Nice.
00:27:59Real mature.
00:28:14No, don't.
00:28:16Fuck.
00:28:18Okay.
00:28:19Okay, fine.
00:28:21You want to go?
00:28:22Nope.
00:28:23No.
00:28:25No, no.
00:28:30Okay.
00:28:31Yeah?
00:28:32Yeah?
00:28:32No, no, no, no.
00:28:33No, no, no, no.
00:28:35No.
00:28:35Let go.
00:28:36No.
00:28:36No.
00:28:36No.
00:28:37No.
00:28:37No.
00:28:37No
00:28:38Ah
00:28:40Oh
00:28:41Oh
00:28:41Oh
00:29:07Yeah
00:29:11So 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
00:29:34Oh I've done my part
00:29:35That's underway
00:29:37And I thought you'd have your part under control
00:29:40I have everything under control
00:29:45Oh really?
00:29:45Because it doesn't seem like it Vivian
00:29:46You know maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack
00:29:50You haven't overestimated anything
00:29:52I've just begun
00:29:54I've got it
00:30:05Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door
00:30:14I live here
00:30:15Of course you do
00:30:17Okay thanks
00:30:20Jack darling
00:30:24Should we proceed to the study?
00:30:25We need to discuss the Morrison deal
00:30:27Yeah
00:30:28Yeah
00:30:29Yeah
00:30:29Oh we need to discuss the Morrison deal
00:30:35Vivian?
00:30:41Remember Tokyo?
00:30:45That sake bar?
00:30:47I'm married
00:30:48Oh you know
00:30:50I hadn't noticed
00:30:53Uh huh
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
00:31:03I forgot something
00:31:13Maybe you can
00:31:16Help me figure it out
00:31:19Coffee?
00:31:25Oh no thank you
00:31:27Jack and I have
00:31:28Much to catch up on
00:31:29Oh
00:31:30And Jack doesn't drink coffee
00:31:32Do you Jack?
00:31:34Actually I've taken it up recently
00:31:36I guess before me
00:31:37Jack never really had coffee
00:31:39How he liked it
00:31:39And he just absolutely laps up
00:31:43Every drop
00:31:45Of my coffee
00:31:47Isn't that right?
00:31:51Lily makes a great cup of coffee
00:31:52So
00:31:59How's Vivian?
00:32:03Focus on your form
00:32:04You know
00:32:05I was just wondering
00:32:07How long the two of you
00:32:09Ancient history
00:32:09That's not what I heard
00:32:12From who?
00:32:14Around
00:32:14Tokyo gets brought up a lot
00:32:17You've been talking to Warren
00:32:19You've been talking to Vivian
00:32:21That's business
00:32:24Everything
00:32:25Is business with you
00:32:27Isn't it?
00:32:29But you know what?
00:32:33What's this?
00:32:36Some pretty big business
00:32:37That you haven't been sharing
00:32:39That you haven't been sharing with me
00:32:40I think Vivian wants some of it too
00:32:42But you know what?
00:32:47Maybe you should just keep your business
00:32:49To yourself
00:32:49Sad
00:32:52Watch your stance
00:32:54I don't want to be lied to
00:33:00I'm not lying Lily
00:33:02Don't break my heart
00:33:06Yeah
00:33:09Well, please
00:33:27You're not lying in truth
00:33:27Until I'm talking to art
00:33:27That you've tested
00:33:29I'm lying in truth
00:33:29You're not lying in truth
00:33:29You're not lying in truth
00:33:31Oh, I'm one of it
00:33:32I'm story
00:33:34Please act like you know me, there's someone following me
00:33:48Oh my god, are you okay?
00:33:50Who's following you?
00:33:53That weirdo?
00:33:59Is he gone?
00:34:01I think he's gone
00:34:02You sure?
00:34:18Like that?
00:34:22I think your technique could use some more
00:34:24I got the Dota rides
00:34:26You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:32I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies
00:34:48I'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...
00:35:14Oh, no 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
00:35:22Love you
00:35:35Love you
00:35:45But this thing isn't going to last forever, Jack
00:35:55I don't know
00:35:58I mean, what choice do you have?
00:36:01Clock's ticking, buddy
00:36:02Unless you want to lose this deal forever
00:36:04Lunch?
00:36:08I was just on my way out
00:36:12Think about it, Jack
00:36:16What was that about?
00:36:26Nothing
00:36:27Just business
00:36:28Just business
00:36:29Of course
00:36:31Lily, wait
00:36:32What do you want, Jack?
00:36:38Taking you on a holiday
00:37:01What?
00:37:02You have time for that?
00:37:05A lot of time
00:37:06Just us
00:37:08I know what I want
00:37:10Oh, what about, um
00:37:15What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:18I can wait
00:37:19There she is
00:37:23What?
00:37:25That smile
00:37:26It's the one you had when I first laid ass on you
00:37:29I'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
00:37:38I'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
00:37:50Save
00:37:51Thank you
00:37:52Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:58Yeah
00:37:58We're good
00:38:00Who sent the message?
00:38:04Vision Chase
00:38:05Lily, I'm sorry
00:38:10Don't
00:38:11Please
00:38:11It's just business
00:38:13It's business, yeah
00:38:13I get it
00:38:15Lily, I shouldn't, uh
00:38:26Just shut up and taste this
00:38:29Mmm
00:38:39This tastes, uh
00:38:40Incredible?
00:38:41Yeah
00:38:41Yeah, I know
00:38:42Jack?
00:38:48Mm-hmm
00:38:49Do you want more?
00:38:52Um, after this one
00:38:53No
00:38:54At the food
00:38:57Jack
00:38:58Talking about us
00:39:01How long are we going to keep on doing this?
00:39:08Oh my god
00:39:24What was that?
00:39:34Any enemies?
00:39:36Business rivals?
00:39:37No one comes to mind
00:39:40Security cameras?
00:39:43Being installed as we speak
00:39:45Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:57Sorry
00:39:58Thought I saw
00:40:01I'm worried
00:40:06You okay?
00:40:08Yeah
00:40:09Thank you
00:40:18Yeah
00:40:19This is so insane
00:40:24It's probably just kids
00:40:27Kids?
00:40:29Seriously
00:40:30Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:32Oh
00:40:32Sorry
00:40:33What are you afraid
00:40:35That someone's going to hear
00:40:36About our perfect marriage?
00:40:45What are you hiding from me?
00:40:50Hey
00:40:51Hey, you know that secret room
00:40:54That you didn't want me to find
00:40:57I found it
00:41:01Yeah
00:41:02Hey, at least it's honest
00:41:09Do you want to see it?
00:41:16Show me
00:41:16Most people run
00:41:20Most people run
00:41:46I'm not most people
00:41:48So
00:41:52This is what you're into?
00:41:57Among other things
00:41:59And all of those
00:42:00Specific 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
00:42:10Show me
00:42:16You sure?
00:42:18Are you?
00:42:20Are you?
00:42:40So
00:42:51So
00:42:53So
00:43:00So
00:43:03Sir, Miss Chase is here
00:43:11She 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
00:43:18I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs
00:43:21Lily, wait
00:43:24Just go
00:43:33Lily, I can explain
00:44:00Can you?
00:44:03Guess them business can't wait
00:44:08This whole thing is
00:44:18Let me get this straight
00:44:20You sleep with him
00:44:22And then you find a note from his ex
00:44:24It's complicated
00:44:25When 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're alright?
00:44:35Huh?
00:44:35Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:37No, I want you to be happy
00:44:38And are you?
00:44:42I don't know what I am anymore
00:44:44I mean, he paid for mom's operation, so that's cool, but I...
00:44:48I know
00:44:49And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for it
00:44:51Lily?
00:44:58Stand back
00:45:00What?
00:45:00Stand back, Megan
00:45:01Keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it
00:45:07Wait!
00:45:12Don't, motherfucker
00:45:14Fuck it
00:45:15Oh my god
00:45:16Fuck you
00:45:17Come on, let's go
00:45:20What was that?
00:45:27Lessons with Jack
00:45:29Jack taught you that?
00:45:31Yeah
00:45:32Yeah
00:45:33Dude's getting better by a minute
00:45:35I know
00:45:35Oh man
00:45:37You okay?
00:45:41Yeah
00:45:41God, things are supposed to be so simple
00:45:45Now what?
00:45:48I don't even know what's real anymore
00:45:50How long are you?
00:45:53Again
00:45:53He always keeps the ledger on his desk
00:46:23Lauren, I've known you since college
00:46:37How could you?
00:46:4411 months
00:46:45Almost a year
00:46:47I barely knew that anymore
00:46:51Lily, I need to tell you something
00:47:04I'm all ears
00:47:05It's about the deal
00:47:07It's about Warren
00:47:09Vivian
00:47:09Well
00:47:10If it isn't the happy couple
00:47:13Oh great
00:47:14Press
00:47:15These aren't real
00:47:27Oh my sister 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
00:47:35Care to comment, Mrs. Thorne?
00:47:40You know, it's funny
00:47:43I
00:47:43For a minute
00:47:44I really believed
00:47:46Lily, wait
00:47:48They're not real
00:47:51Take a talk, Mr. Thorne
00:47:54Lily, wait
00:48:06They're not real
00:48:09You have to believe me
00:48:11Look, I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal
00:48:14Like I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague
00:48:18Look, I believed that last night actually meant something
00:48:23It did
00:48:24Lily, what happened between us was
00:48:26The transaction
00:48:27That's all any of this ever was
00:48:30That's not true
00:48:32And you know it
00:48:34Do I?
00:48:36Because from where I'm standing
00:48:38You got everything that you wanted
00:48:40You got a wife when you needed one
00:48:43And a body when you wanted one
00:48:44Lily, 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
00:48:52And your inheritance
00:48:53Anything more to explain?
00:49:00That's what I thought
00:49:03You're a terrible person
00:49:08If you leave now, you violate the contract
00:49:12You get nothing
00:49:14I don't care
00:49:16I never cared about any of that
00:49:30Hands up
00:49:40Protect the face
00:49:41No, don't
00:49:43Go
00:49:46No
00:49:47Warren
00:49:56Finally, look
00:49:58About the Morrison deal
00:49:59It's off
00:50:00What do you mean it's
00:50:02All of it
00:50:03The deal
00:50:04The inheritance
00:50:06I don't want any of it
00:50:07Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:09I mean, everything that we've worked for
00:50:11Actually
00:50:11I think I found it
00:50:16That's not a good one
00:50:29No, no, no, no
00:50:33No, no, no
00:50:34No, no, no
00:50:35You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:51Watch me.
00:50:51Hey, what 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?
00:51:18That's Jack.
00:51:19I'm sure that's just my octogenarian 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.
00:51:40Coffee.
00:51:41I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:45You might want to see this.
00:51:49What am I looking at here?
00:51:52Wire transfers, shell companies, all leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:58More.
00:51:59I knew it.
00:52:00You might want to see these too, sir.
00:52:02They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:03Son 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.
00:52:22They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:36Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:40Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:41Every meeting, every call.
00:52:42I already 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.
00:53:03I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:04Megan?
00:53:04I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:34I got us under this.
00:53:55I can get us out of this.
00:53:57I can do this.
00:53:58I can do this.
00:53:59Your 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.
00:54:21Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved, don't they?
00:54:29I always knew you were soft.
00:54:31But this?
00:54:33Throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef.
00:54:36He's not throwing it away.
00:54:38He's giving it to us.
00:54:40All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:45You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:48Always have.
00:54:52I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:55Hmm.
00:54:57Wait.
00:54:57Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:23Remember your training.
00:55:24Protect your face.
00:55:31Megan!
00:55:32Lily!
00:55:36Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:39Come on.
00:55:39Please.
00:55:40Come on.
00:55:41Come on.
00:55:46Of course it's a trap.
00:55:49The question is,
00:55:51what are you going to do about it?
00:55:54Lily!
00:55:58I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:56:01Room 115.
00:56:02Lauren's called the police.
00:56:04Already done.
00:56:05But, sir,
00:56:05they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:07She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:14No, no, no, no, no.
00:56:17Lauren, she's there.
00:56:19Lily's there.
00:56:19Lily!
00:56:19Hold on, Lily.
00:56:25Hold on.
00:56:26Hold on.
00:56:27Hold on.
00:56:33Leave her alone!
00:56:38Leave her alone!
00:56:40Shut up!
00:56:42Get away from my wife.
00:56:44Well, well.
00:56:46A 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.
00:56:57I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:18That's for my sister.
00:57:20You son of a bitch.
00:57:21You son of a bitch.
00:57:24Neil.
00:57:27Lily.
00:57:28Not everything.
00:57:30The photos.
00:57:31Vivian.
00:57:32Now?
00:57:33Seriously?
00:57:34I love you.
00:57:36Not for any inheritance.
00:57:39Not for any deal.
00:57:41Just...
00:57:42Neil.
00:57:45I know.
00:57:45You.
00:57:55Stay right there.
00:57:57Come on.
00:57:57Cuff him.
00:58:09What the hell?
00:58:13This isn't...
00:58:14Possible.
00:58:15And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:58:20Sign the papers.
00:58:21Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:24That proves nothing.
00:58:25I think it might prove something.
00:58:27Yeah, and those photos that you planted?
00:58:29Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:31You can't?
00:58:32Yes, they can.
00:58:33And you two are under arrest.
00:58:37No.
00:58:38You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:39The inheritance, they're nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:43You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:46I do.
00:58:54Yes, thank you.
00:58:56Thanks.
00:59:00Now that's a story.
00:59:02Here to twist the knife?
00:59:08Actually, I'm here to get it right.
00:59:12Where did you...
00:59:13Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:16Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:20So, no scandal piece?
00:59:22Oh, there's definitely a scandal.
00:59:25But, not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:31That'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.
00:59:42Yeah, neither did they.
00:59:43Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:47Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:56We'll be about the inheritance.
00:59:57You really think that I care about any of that now?
01:00:04Just take me home.
01:00:05Yes, dear.
01:00:16Sun's coming, huh?
01:00:18Must be a new record.
01:00:21It is for me.
01:00:23Oh.
01:00:24Any regrets?
01:00:26Only one.
01:00:27That I didn't get your chef's special sooner.
01:00:31Could have saved us a lot.
01:00:33Yeah.
01:00:34Wow.
01:00:38Excuse me, sir.
01:00:39Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:41How bad is it?
01:00:43Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:45She's included the last bit you wanted to put in.
01:00:48Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:01:02In a shocking turn of events, tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans to transform
01:01:07his inherited fortune into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:12Surprised?
01:01:13But your inheritance is gone.
01:01:19Well, the 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.
01:01:36My turn.
01:01:37I don't know.
01:01:43Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:45Keep it thin, okay?
01:01:46Just like that.
01:02:02This looks good on you.
01:02:05And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:09Suckers.
01:02:10Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:13It depends.
01:02:15Did my wife make it?
01:02:16The very same wife that you married your business?
01:02:19Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:27Hang on.
01:02:35Voila.
01:02:40And the best chef in town.
01:02:42You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:47I think that contract expired.
01:02:51Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:59We are gathered here today.
01:03:01No more business tales this time.
01:03:03Just love.
01:03:05Good.
01:03:06Because I have some terms of my own.
01:03:08First, you have to eat everything I cooked.
01:03:14Done.
01:03:16Second, no more locked rooms.
01:03:20Without me in it.
01:03:24Is that all?
01:03:26Third, you have to mean it this time.
01:03:29I met it the first time.
01:03:31Just didn't know you.
01:03:34The rings?
01:03:35Actually.
01:03:41Is that...
01:03:42Something old?
01:03:44Something new?
01:03:45Something borrowed?
01:03:47Something...
01:03:49Not one.
01:03:57For better or worse.
01:04:00For real this time.
01:04:01You may kiss the bride.
01:04:20So...
01:04:21Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:23What are you...
01:04:25What are you...
01:04:27Lauren's helped me back.
01:04:35Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:39I don't know.
01:04:41Mr. Thorne.
01:04:42Can 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?
01:05:07Ah!
01:05:12I don't know.
