00:00:00You think you'd run away from me, you skank?
00:00:12Chad, you stay away from me!
00:00:14Hey, I'm the only one you'll marry.
00:00:16You're mine.
00:00:17Disgusting, you're my brother, I'm not marrying you!
00:00:19So you'll marry a fucking stranger for money and be his whore?
00:00:22I'm marrying a stranger to get as far away from you and this sick family as possible!
00:00:30Girl knows how to throw a mean punch.
00:00:37Nice.
00:00:41Where is he?
00:00:43Please, please, please don't bail on me.
00:00:45So is he coming or what? I don't have all day.
00:00:47There's a line.
00:00:49Please, excuse us for a moment.
00:00:51Gitch, you don't have to do this.
00:00:53You don't have to marry a stranger.
00:00:55There can't be another way.
00:00:57I really need this money for school, it's the only way.
00:01:00Yes, but you're a crime.
00:01:02I'm fine, it's just my contact.
00:01:04Oh, shit! My contacts! I can't see!
00:01:17Finally, is this the guy?
00:01:19Yeah.
00:01:21Finally, is this the guy?
00:01:24Yeah.
00:01:25I'm in a hurry, I have a plane to catch.
00:01:27Sign here?
00:01:29He's leaving the country?
00:01:31Maybe it's for the best.
00:01:34Congratulations, I guess, Mrs...
00:01:36No, please don't. I don't want to know his last name.
00:01:45Janie!
00:01:46Kate!
00:01:49Welcome to your first day as a junior designer!
00:01:51Thank you so much for getting me this job, Janie.
00:01:54Shut up, you were the best designer in our class.
00:01:56Our family is so lucky to have you on board.
00:02:16Who's that?
00:02:17That's my brother.
00:02:18And your new boss!
00:02:22You can stare.
00:02:24Oh.
00:02:25All of my friends have a crush on Jack.
00:02:27Well, his real name's John Michael Townsend, but everyone just calls him Jack for short.
00:02:30Never really understood why, but it's cute.
00:02:32John. That's my husband's name.
00:02:35Janie, he's my boss.
00:02:37He's single!
00:02:39Although you never really know him.
00:02:40Jack is so mysterious, secretive.
00:02:44No, you can't, because you're married.
00:02:47Unfortunately.
00:02:49Unfortunately?
00:02:51You know, it is kind of cute that your grandma set you up with her friend's grandkid.
00:02:55Even if it's weird.
00:02:56Yeah, while I do appreciate my grandma's attention, it is very weird being married to a stranger.
00:03:01And I know you don't know what he looks like, but he could be, like, so hot.
00:03:06Or he could be, like, a complete uggo.
00:03:09You know, Janie, it really doesn't matter what he looks like, okay?
00:03:12I haven't heard from the guy in, like, two years.
00:03:15Which is part of the reason why I came back.
00:03:17Oh my god, wait, you're gonna meet him?
00:03:19No, I came back to divorce him.
00:03:24I'm back. Please tell her I want to discuss our marriage.
00:03:26Help me set up a time to meet.
00:03:28No, I came back to divorce him.
00:03:32Huh. Well, once you divorce your invisible husband, you can date my brother.
00:03:37You'd be such a cute couple.
00:03:39Janie, you are ridiculous, okay?
00:03:42I gotta go. I don't want to be late for my first date.
00:03:46You're fired!
00:03:53Now I know both of you were hired as junior accessory designers.
00:03:58But we need someone to hop on Mr. Townsend's desk until we can fill the position.
00:04:02I'll hop on whatever he wants.
00:04:07Mr. Townsend can be a bit particular, so I would refrain from any innuendo or speaking in general.
00:04:14Okay, now if you'd both grab your portfolios, please follow me.
00:04:25Oh my god, I am so clumsy.
00:04:29That is my entire portfolio.
00:04:31Well, looks like you don't have anything to show.
00:04:34Judging by your outfit, we won't be missing out on anything.
00:04:44Sir, these are the new junior designers.
00:04:48One of these ladies will cover your desk.
00:04:53I'm Haley, Mr. Townsend.
00:04:55And I'm at your service.
00:04:57Whatever you want, whenever you want it.
00:05:01And you are?
00:05:03Me?
00:05:05I'm Kate.
00:05:07Kate Abrams.
00:05:09Kate.
00:05:11Yes.
00:05:13That's my wife's name.
00:05:17That's my wife's name.
00:05:19I thought Janie said her brother was single.
00:05:21Shit, he's married?
00:05:23Is there anything I should know about your work before I begin?
00:05:28Um, nope.
00:05:31No, Jack. Can I call you Jack?
00:05:34You cannot.
00:05:36I'm your boss.
00:05:39This is good.
00:05:41Haley.
00:05:42Thank you, sir.
00:05:43My designs are actually inspired by-
00:05:45I wasn't complimenting you.
00:05:47Can you even tell me how to grade an emerald?
00:05:50Tell me.
00:05:52Emeralds are graded based on their color.
00:05:54So, the greener the emerald, then the higher the grade.
00:05:58Wrong answer.
00:06:00How about you, Ms. Abrams?
00:06:02Sir, emeralds are graded based on the same criteria as diamonds.
00:06:07So, you know, the four C's.
00:06:09Cut, color, clarity, and carrot.
00:06:12The one exception being the transparency of the green hue.
00:06:16The more transparent, the higher quality emerald.
00:06:20Good.
00:06:22That's the correct answer.
00:06:26A word of advice.
00:06:28See that door?
00:06:30It's glass.
00:06:31I saw the little stunt you pulled out there.
00:06:33Did I see correct, Kate?
00:06:35Yes, sir.
00:06:37Haley, we believe in honesty at this company.
00:06:40So, that's why Kate is going to be sitting at my desk.
00:06:43You can go.
00:06:44I won't be needing your services.
00:06:46You're lucky I let myself to find one person a day.
00:06:50Ms. Abrams gets situated at your desk.
00:06:52We have more to discuss.
00:07:00You'll get yours, bitch.
00:07:08You came home and didn't visit me?
00:07:10You slut.
00:07:11How did he find me so fast?
00:07:15Ms. Abrams, can you join me in my office?
00:07:17There's something personal I'd like to discuss with you.
00:07:26My sister told me you were a good designer.
00:07:28She wasn't wrong.
00:07:30Since you have excellent taste, I need your help setting up a dinner.
00:07:34Of course. Who's it for?
00:07:36Your wife?
00:07:37Yeah, my wife.
00:07:40Are you married, Ms. Abrams?
00:07:42It's too crazy to begin to explain.
00:07:45Just say yes and change the subject.
00:07:47Yes, I am.
00:07:51Janie never mentioned that you were married.
00:07:53The big mouth sister doesn't know.
00:07:55Shit, I shouldn't have said that.
00:07:58I'm very private with my personal life.
00:08:00I'd appreciate the utmost discretion with my sister and with anything you see while you're at my desk.
00:08:05Of course.
00:08:06Help me make a reservation for two people Wednesday night.
00:08:09Somewhere quiet, high end.
00:08:11You got it.
00:08:13There's something else.
00:08:18This.
00:08:19I was very impressed with your sketches.
00:08:21I was wondering if you could design a ring to have this set it.
00:08:24I never got Katie a ring.
00:08:26I owe this to her at the very least.
00:08:28I would love to.
00:08:29What's her size?
00:08:31Um, just make it your size.
00:08:36Okay.
00:08:47I asked you not to call me at work.
00:08:51Ms. Smith?
00:08:52Yes, my client would like to meet you for dinner on Wednesday to discuss the contract of your marriage.
00:08:58He ghosts me for two years and now he wants to have dinner?
00:09:02Can't we just sign and be done with it?
00:09:04Not if you want all your hair in it.
00:09:06He wants to discuss extending the contract of your marriage agreement.
00:09:09We agreed to two years.
00:09:11Well, he'd still like to meet.
00:09:13I'll text you the address and his home number to coordinate so please give him a call at your earliest convenience.
00:09:28The jeweler came back with the ring.
00:09:30I think it looks really great.
00:09:35Wow.
00:09:37Can you try it on for me?
00:09:39Here, let me.
00:09:52It's gorgeous.
00:09:54Do you think she'll like it?
00:09:56I mean, she'd be an idiot not to.
00:09:59Because it's expensive?
00:10:01No, because it's from you.
00:10:03If I was given something this thoughtful, it wouldn't matter.
00:10:07I hope you're right.
00:10:11There's a designer coming in from Paris tonight that I'm meeting later for dinner.
00:10:15Quinn Clayette.
00:10:17Quinn Clayette is going to be doing a collection with us?
00:10:22He's bigger than Balenciaga.
00:10:24So I've heard.
00:10:25Anyway, I need you to make sure he gets his proofs for his collection shoot for approval before we meet.
00:10:32So I need you to give him this envelope at his hotel.
00:10:42Hey dudes.
00:10:44No.
00:10:46No.
00:10:48She's okay.
00:10:51You know, I should have you model for me instead.
00:10:54You're hotter than these girls.
00:10:58Thanks.
00:10:59If you want to come upstairs, we can do it right now.
00:11:03Do what?
00:11:05Get your mind out of the gutter, girl.
00:11:07I meant we could take some photos.
00:11:09Clothes optional, of course. Have another drink.
00:11:14Mr. Clayette.
00:11:15Mr. Townsend just wanted to make sure you were happy with the photos.
00:11:18I'm happy.
00:11:20Let's drink.
00:11:21This is a 1982 Chateau Rothschild.
00:11:27Thousands of dollars a glass.
00:11:31You want to work in fashion, I'll show you around.
00:11:36But first, come upstairs.
00:11:42Mr. Clayette, I'm married.
00:11:45Technically, it's not a lie.
00:11:47Then where's your engagement ring?
00:11:49I don't see a wedding band.
00:11:51I don't have one.
00:11:53I prefer to wear my grandmother's ring.
00:11:55A man who doesn't get you a ring isn't a real husband.
00:12:00How much?
00:12:01Excuse me?
00:12:02Everyone has their price.
00:12:06How much for you to come upstairs and have some fun?
00:12:13Not for sale.
00:12:17You bitch! I'm bleeding.
00:12:20I can have Jack fire you with just one phone call.
00:12:24You don't have to call me.
00:12:29You don't have to call me.
00:12:31Get away from her.
00:12:33She came on to me.
00:12:34She said she wanted to climb the ranks, if you know what I mean.
00:12:37He's lying.
00:12:38Shut up and let her talk.
00:12:40It was highly unprofessional.
00:12:42Is that the kind of image you want for your brand?
00:12:45A slutty clout chasing her?
00:12:47Fucking her way through your connections?
00:12:49Shut your lying mouth.
00:12:50Don't ever talk to one of my employees like that again.
00:12:53You're going to choose your receptionist over me?
00:12:56Did you see my collection in Milan?
00:12:58Yeah, I did.
00:13:00It sucked.
00:13:01Like your cheap-ass brand?
00:13:03The only people who buy your clothes are fatties and middle-aged virgins.
00:13:09I heard you like fine wine, Quinn.
00:13:11Yeah.
00:13:12Care for a glass?
00:13:21I don't know.
00:13:29I'll add this to your bill.
00:13:32Our collaboration is off.
00:13:44Thanks for that, by the way.
00:13:47I know Quinn would have been huge for the brand.
00:13:50My grandmother built this coming from nothing.
00:13:53She was unconventional, but she had one rule.
00:13:57What's that?
00:13:58Don't work with assholes.
00:14:00I wouldn't want a man like that associated with my brand or my name.
00:14:05I say this with only respect, sir, but...
00:14:10from what everyone told me about you, I expected you to be more...
00:14:15more of an asshole.
00:14:18No.
00:14:21Closed off, I guess.
00:14:23I am with most people.
00:14:27Oh.
00:14:29You should be wearing this.
00:14:36God, he's really handsome.
00:14:40He's also really married, Kate.
00:14:48Do you need to contact your husband? Let him know you're running late?
00:14:51I should do that. He might be worried.
00:14:54Shit. I don't want to call him.
00:14:57I'm sorry.
00:15:11Ah, crap. My phone died.
00:15:14Do you want to charge it?
00:15:16No, no. It's fine. I'm not far from home. He'll be fine.
00:15:23This is me.
00:15:27Thanks again.
00:15:28Good night, Mr. Townsend.
00:15:30Good night, Kate.
00:15:41I kind of have a crush on my married boss.
00:15:48I'm a mess.
00:15:49I don't even care about the money, you know?
00:15:51I'm going to take care of this fake marriage thing and end it right now.
00:15:58Fuck.
00:15:59What do you say to your secret husband?
00:16:01Hi, nice to meet you. Let's divorce?
00:16:09Hello?
00:16:17Who the hell is calling my brother this late at night?
00:16:20Hello?
00:16:21I'm getting rid of her so he can date Kate.
00:16:24Uh, I'm looking for John. This is John's phone.
00:16:29I'm his girlfriend, you bitch.
00:16:31Don't call here again, you skank-ass hoe.
00:16:36I guess that's why I haven't heard from him in two years.
00:16:39Why the hell do you want to stay married to me if you have a girlfriend?
00:16:47My landline just rang. Got a notification on my phone, but it got disconnected.
00:16:50Oh, yeah. It was just a spam call.
00:16:52Anyway, I was thinking of setting you up with someone.
00:16:54Jamie, I don't want that.
00:16:56Okay, well, that wasn't a no, so I'm going to take that as a yes.
00:17:04Since you already have a girlfriend, why don't we just get divorced?
00:17:16John Michael Townsend. Who the hell is wife?
00:17:20John Michael Townsend. Who the hell is wife?
00:17:23It's a long story.
00:17:24A long story? What, did you marry some rando abroad?
00:17:27Did you answer my phone?
00:17:29Did you marry some rando?
00:17:30Did you answer my phone?
00:17:31Maybe.
00:17:32Jamie, you made it worse.
00:17:33Listen, if you go marry some rando, it cuts into my inheritance.
00:17:36I'm not going to discuss this with you right now.
00:17:38It's a crazy ex. A joke. I'm dealing with it.
00:17:42Now I'm done discussing it. Go.
00:17:44Fine. But only because I want to.
00:17:46You're so shady.
00:17:48You're so shady.
00:18:03Probably my husband's mistress calling to bitch me out.
00:18:07Katie, I'm sorry. Meet me for dinner Wednesday. I'll explain.
00:18:20Katie, I'm sorry. Meet me for dinner Wednesday. I'll explain.
00:18:27Maybe. Bring the papers. Also, don't call me Katie.
00:18:38I'm not going to be handled by that whore. That's final.
00:18:41Kill the fucking store deals.
00:18:50Gene said you wanted to see me?
00:18:51Yes. Starting next week, we're going to have someone else sit at my desk.
00:18:55Oh. Is everything okay?
00:18:58Everything is fine.
00:18:59About the deal with me until Monday, then you can go back to designing.
00:19:02Okay. Well, your reservation is all set for 7 tonight at Room 1 in the Hudson Hotel.
00:19:08Great. Thank you, Ms. Abrams.
00:19:09I hope Mrs. Townsend likes the ring.
00:19:13We'll see if she even accepts it.
00:19:23I wonder if they got into a fight because he came home so late last night.
00:19:27It's too complicated. It's better I'm off his desk.
00:19:33145 Hudson Street. 7 p.m.
00:19:41Can I help you, sir?
00:19:43I have a woman meeting me here. Can you see her to the table when she gets here?
00:19:46Her name is Sir.
00:19:48She doesn't want to be called Katie. Kate.
00:19:53And you are?
00:19:54I'm Kate. Kate Abrams.
00:19:58If only she was the one I was waiting for.
00:20:11Why am I so nervous? I'm just going to go in there and end it.
00:20:16Eat your heart out, big husband.
00:20:20Shit.
00:20:22This is where Mr. Townsend is meeting his wife.
00:20:30I think I'm getting stood up.
00:20:32After two years, I guess I deserve it.
00:20:41Forget it.
00:20:44Forget it.
00:20:49It's a big restaurant. You're not going to see Mr. Townsend. Just be discreet.
00:20:54Can I help you? I'm supposed to be meeting someone here.
00:20:58You? Are you sure?
00:21:01What name is the reservation under?
00:21:03John.
00:21:05Don't have a John.
00:21:08Don't have a John.
00:21:12Don't have a John.
00:21:14Is there a last name?
00:21:16I don't know his last name.
00:21:18You're at the most expensive restaurant in New York. It takes years to get a reservation here.
00:21:24And you don't know the name of the man who's taking you here?
00:21:27He knows me as Katie Smith, not Kate Abrams.
00:21:31It could be Smith or Katie Smith.
00:21:35Seriously, come up with a better lie than that.
00:21:39Do you know what this mystery man looks like?
00:21:41Not really.
00:21:43Okay, you're going to need to go.
00:21:45Excuse me?
00:21:46We don't let working girls in a restaurant.
00:21:49So, you and your John are going to have to find someplace else for your pre-screw dinner.
00:21:54I'm not a prostitute.
00:21:56Please don't use that language here.
00:21:58I swear I have a reservation. Just wait a second.
00:22:01Security! Security!
00:22:04Why the hell are you speaking to my wife that way?
00:22:07Mr. Townsend, your wife?
00:22:11Why the hell are you speaking to my wife that way?
00:22:14Mr. Townsend, your wife?
00:22:16Just play along.
00:22:21Sweetheart, I'm sorry I gave you the wrong information for the reservation.
00:22:25Give me one moment while I deal with this woman.
00:22:29Is there a problem, Sir Townsend?
00:22:31This woman had the audacity to call my date a whore.
00:22:34I didn't know.
00:22:35What kind of establishment are you running?
00:22:37I want her gone immediately.
00:22:39Sir, please. I was confused.
00:22:42I didn't know she was your wife. She looked like a...
00:22:45A what? For you to call my wife a whore again?
00:22:48Not at all. I'm sorry, Mrs. Townsend.
00:22:51I want her gone. Now.
00:22:56I want her gone. Now.
00:22:58Now.
00:23:00Yes, Sir. I'm so sorry, Mr. Townsend.
00:23:03Your meal is complimentary.
00:23:05If you have a seat at your table, I'll take care of this.
00:23:25Thanks for that.
00:23:27Where's your wife?
00:23:29She stood me up.
00:23:30Oh. I'm so sorry.
00:23:33It's fine. We'll talk when she's ready.
00:23:36What did you do that was so awful?
00:23:38I don't know. Marry her, I guess.
00:23:43Oh my God. I'm so rude.
00:23:45You're waiting for your husband.
00:23:47I hope you two have a great night. Enjoy dinner on me.
00:23:51Actually, it looks like he was stuck at work and isn't going to make it, so...
00:23:57Well, you shouldn't let a five-star dinner go to waste.
00:24:02Will you join me?
00:24:06Will you join me?
00:24:07I... I couldn't. I mean, I wouldn't want to impose.
00:24:11The chef already started my tasting and you'd be doing me a favor.
00:24:15That's if it's alright with your husband.
00:24:21That was one of the most amazing meals I've ever had in my whole life.
00:24:25They're going to have to roll me out of here. Thank you.
00:24:29Thank yourself. You picked it all.
00:24:31Sending flowers in advance was a nice touch, too.
00:24:34If you weren't an amazing designer, I'd hire you as my event planner.
00:24:38It was perfect. Really. Thank you.
00:24:41More wine, sir?
00:24:42Yes. Thank you.
00:24:49And for you, Mrs. Thompson?
00:24:52Oh, I'm actually not...
00:24:55Another glass, sweetheart?
00:24:58Um... yeah.
00:25:03Okay.
00:25:08I think we have to keep the act up.
00:25:15That's more than generous. Split it with your whole team. Thank you.
00:25:22That was like $3,000. That's more than I make in a week.
00:25:26Remind me to pay you more, then.
00:25:32She still hasn't gotten back to you yet?
00:25:35Nothing.
00:25:37She's really pissed, isn't she?
00:25:40Let's say you were in her situation.
00:25:42Let's say you were in her situation.
00:25:44Say I'm your husband, and I really fucked up.
00:25:47But I want to make things right. What would you want me to do?
00:25:51I'd want you to show me I mattered.
00:25:54How?
00:25:56You should just go to her and give her no excuse but to see you.
00:26:01Look, I don't know what's going on between you two, but it seems like you're really trying.
00:26:06And that's what I'd want.
00:26:08A man who unapologetically wants to be with me.
00:26:12Any guy would be lucky to be with you, Kate. Thanks for the advice.
00:26:17You're welcome.
00:26:18Take the car. I'll send Tristan back after he drops you.
00:26:22Really? Thanks.
00:26:26Good night.
00:26:28Good night, Kate.
00:26:42I saw you with him. Nice dress.
00:26:49Katie! I heard you've been in town a while. What took so long?
00:26:53I need you to tell him to stay the fuck away from me.
00:26:57I need you to tell him to stay the fuck away from me.
00:27:00You know, maybe we can help each other out. Meet at my office?
00:27:04Fine. Just make sure Evelyn's not there.
00:27:13I'm here. Now what?
00:27:16Is that a way to talk to your father after two years?
00:27:19You stop being my father the day you let that bitch kick me out and adopted that monster.
00:27:24Which, by the way, could you ask Chad to leave me alone?
00:27:27Your brother, he's just... he's concerned because you married a complete stranger.
00:27:33He is not my brother.
00:27:34And I married a stranger because your wife and sicko son spent all of my mother's money.
00:27:40Katie, I heard you changed your name.
00:27:44Kate Abrams? It sounds like a shitty real estate agent.
00:27:49I changed my name to get away from you.
00:27:53So why didn't you just take your husband's name? Are you not still together?
00:27:58My personal life is really none of your business. What do you want?
00:28:04It's about your husband.
00:28:10It's about your husband.
00:28:13The company is in trouble and we need a bit of a loan.
00:28:17I already gave you part of my inheritance from my grandmother.
00:28:20He needs one million dollars or we're going to go under.
00:28:23I know you're getting the remainder on the two year anniversary plus more if you stay in the marriage longer, so...
00:28:28I'm not doing that.
00:28:31Katie, we both need the money. Reconsider.
00:28:36How convenient you reach out now.
00:28:40I married a stranger to get the fuck away from this family.
00:28:43What makes you think I'd help you now?
00:28:46If you don't want to lose the inheritance or stay in the marriage, fine.
00:28:49But just ask your husband. I hear he's rich.
00:28:54And if you do, I'll tell Chad to leave you alone.
00:28:58You let me sell myself and now you're willing to risk your daughter's safety for money?
00:29:07You're so melodramatic, Katie.
00:29:11What's this bitch doing here?
00:29:14What's this bitch doing here?
00:29:16You said she wasn't going to be here.
00:29:18Is that any way to greet your mommy?
00:29:21You are nothing like my mother.
00:29:24Oh no, I'm not. Your mother was a pushover and she's dead.
00:29:30Fuck you!
00:29:31You ungrateful bitch.
00:29:34Your father is asking for one small favor.
00:29:36You give us your own money or get it from your rich husband.
00:29:39My marriage is none of your business.
00:29:42And keep your psycho son away from me.
00:29:46You threw yourself at my sweet boy.
00:29:49How disgusting. Your own brother.
00:29:52I have nothing to do with that sick bastard.
00:29:56If you don't start leaving me alone, I'll kill you.
00:29:59If you don't start leaving me alone, I'm going to call the police.
00:30:02Oh, you're going to call the police on a dying man?
00:30:06What are you talking about?
00:30:09Oh, you're going to call the police on a dying man?
00:30:12What are you talking about?
00:30:14Oh, well you would have known your father was dying if you'd been around for the last two years.
00:30:22Is this true?
00:30:25Yes.
00:30:26You want to leave him penniless on the street?
00:30:29You want to move on in your life? You want to get rid of this family?
00:30:32You give us that one million dollars so he can live his last years out in peace.
00:30:36Dad?
00:30:38Are you going to let her threaten me like this?
00:30:40It's for the company and your mother's legacy.
00:30:46Please?
00:30:48I don't have very long.
00:30:54I'll think about it.
00:30:57But in the meantime, tell Chad to stay the fuck away from me.
00:31:10I'd like to rediscuss the terms of our divorce. In person.
00:31:14I'll stay married to you until our anniversary, but I need something in return.
00:31:19Miss Abrams, can you send four dozen roses to this address?
00:31:24Of course.
00:31:28Hmm, weird. That's the building I used to live at.
00:31:32Maybe they're separated and his wife is staying there?
00:31:49Do you know what unit Kate is in?
00:31:51308, sir.
00:31:54Say I'm your husband, and I really fucked up.
00:31:57But I want to make things right.
00:31:59What would you want me to do?
00:32:02I want you to show me I mattered.
00:32:04How?
00:32:05You should just go to her and give her no excuse not to see you.
00:32:10And that's what I'd want.
00:32:12A man who unapologetically wants to be with me.
00:32:16Here goes. No apologies.
00:32:18I'm getting my wife back and one million dollars.
00:32:27Kate?
00:32:33Kate?
00:32:35Yes?
00:32:36It's Jack. Jack Townsend.
00:32:39Okay.
00:32:41Babe.
00:32:43Who is this?
00:32:45Who is this?
00:32:46Who are you?
00:32:47I'm her boyfriend, bro.
00:32:55She has a fucking boyfriend?
00:32:57No wonder she doesn't want to stay married. She's cheating.
00:33:00I married her as a favor to my grandmother and she couldn't even look at me.
00:33:05Get me a divorce at once.
00:33:07She was never abroad. She's been openly cheating on me with some guy.
00:33:10She just called.
00:33:11She's asking to stay married till the anniversary.
00:33:14And half of what you received in the inheritance agreement, sir.
00:33:17What? That's one million dollars of my money.
00:33:20Give her nothing and make her pay.
00:33:23Are you okay, sir?
00:33:25I'd appreciate if you never mentioned this again.
00:33:28Why are you here?
00:33:31I used to live in this neighborhood.
00:33:33And there's this bakery nearby.
00:33:35And I was wondering if you could help me with something.
00:33:38I don't know what you're talking about.
00:33:40I'm just a little bit of a homewrecker.
00:33:42I'm not a homewrecker.
00:33:43I'm a homewrecker.
00:33:44I'm a homewrecker.
00:33:45I'm a homewrecker.
00:33:46I'm a homewrecker.
00:33:47I'm a homewrecker.
00:33:48I'm a homewrecker.
00:33:49I'm a homewrecker.
00:33:50I'm a homewrecker.
00:33:51Hi.
00:33:52Do you want to share a cupcake with me?
00:33:56It looks like you might need it.
00:33:59Sorry about your wife.
00:34:02I wanted to try.
00:34:03But she found someone else.
00:34:06Maybe she'll come around.
00:34:08Maybe.
00:34:13This cupcake is really good.
00:34:14It helps.
00:34:15Right?
00:34:16My grandma used to take me all the time as a kid.
00:34:19Are you close to your grandma?
00:34:20Yeah.
00:34:22She was my favorite person in the whole world.
00:34:27Yeah.
00:34:28Me too.
00:34:34What?
00:34:35You have a little cupcake on your face.
00:34:50Um.
00:34:52I need to go back to work.
00:34:53Yeah.
00:34:54I have meetings.
00:34:55I'll see you at Jenny's birthday thing later?
00:34:57Sure.
00:35:04You could barely look at me.
00:35:06And now you're asking for a divorce and more money?
00:35:08I'm done playing nice, Katie.
00:35:11Barely look at him?
00:35:13What is he talking about?
00:35:15Jackie, why did we never date in college?
00:35:18I think we were better as friends.
00:35:20I think we should change that.
00:35:26I wonder if that's his wife.
00:35:28They must have worked it out.
00:35:33Kate!
00:35:35You made it!
00:35:39So?
00:35:40This is our first date.
00:35:42So.
00:35:43This is our friend Xander.
00:35:44Hello.
00:35:45Hi.
00:35:46And our childhood friend Annabelle.
00:35:47Jack's very close friend.
00:35:49Why do I feel relieved she's not his wife?
00:35:52And of course you know my brother.
00:35:54Welcome.
00:35:55You can sit next to me.
00:35:57Actually, I saved you a seat.
00:36:12No one is empty handed.
00:36:14You two need drinks.
00:36:16Alright.
00:36:17Let's play a card game.
00:36:19I love games.
00:36:20The person with the lowest card has to do any dare I want or they drink.
00:36:31Alright.
00:36:32Ready?
00:36:33Flip him.
00:36:35Ha!
00:36:36You got the lowest card, Townsend.
00:36:39Alright.
00:36:40Alright.
00:36:41I dare you to pick the woman you are most attracted to and kiss her.
00:36:46Janney's obviously off limits.
00:36:47Gross.
00:36:48Obviously he'll pick me.
00:36:51So who's it gonna be?
00:36:55So who's it gonna be?
00:36:57This is inappropriate, Xander.
00:36:59I'm being a little bitch and answer.
00:37:06Kate.
00:37:10But I'm her boss and she's married.
00:37:11So we're not gonna do that.
00:37:13Then drink.
00:37:17I'm sure her husband wouldn't mind.
00:37:20Just a peck on the cheek.
00:37:22Yeah.
00:37:23Just like a tiny little peck.
00:37:25Are you okay with this?
00:37:26Sure.
00:37:41You see?
00:37:42That wasn't so hard, was it?
00:37:43Alright.
00:37:44Let's keep playing.
00:37:45Loser drinks.
00:37:46Alright.
00:37:47Let's go.
00:37:48Let's go.
00:37:49Let's go.
00:37:50Let's go.
00:37:51Okay.
00:37:52On three.
00:37:53One, two, three.
00:37:54Flip him.
00:37:55Drink.
00:37:56Drink.
00:37:57Drink.
00:37:58You gotta drink, man.
00:37:59Let's go.
00:38:00Okay.
00:38:01Okay.
00:38:02Alright.
00:38:03Another round.
00:38:04Another round.
00:38:05One.
00:38:06Ready?
00:38:07And flip him.
00:38:08Keep playing until we're blacked out.
00:38:11All these drinks were filled with aphrodisiacs.
00:38:14Enjoy taking him home.
00:38:22I can take Jack home.
00:38:24You drove the Lambo here, right?
00:38:26Wait, no.
00:38:27We haven't had a chance to catch up yet.
00:38:31Kate can take him.
00:38:34Right, Kate?
00:38:38Yeah.
00:38:39Of course, sure.
00:38:40Do you have your keys?
00:38:42I am sure your husband won't mind.
00:38:44Alright, come on.
00:38:46Bye.
00:38:47Get home safe.
00:38:48Love you.
00:38:51Come back.
00:38:53One more step.
00:38:55I'll be right back.
00:39:00Okay.
00:39:01Try this.
00:39:02It should help.
00:39:05I am so sorry.
00:39:06Oh my god.
00:39:07Here, let me help clean up.
00:39:09Sticky.
00:39:10Oh, so sticky.
00:39:23No.
00:39:25You are my boss.
00:39:26And drunk.
00:39:27And technically still married.
00:39:29No, just no.
00:39:30No.
00:39:31I'm sorry.
00:39:34You're sticky.
00:39:36So why don't you shower and I'll clean up.
00:39:40It doesn't matter if his marriage is over, Kate.
00:39:42He's technically still married and still your boss.
00:39:45Oh my god.
00:39:46My life is a freaking mess.
00:40:02Shit.
00:40:04Maybe it's his wife.
00:40:06They did just have a fight.
00:40:08Your phone's blowing up.
00:40:10One peek wouldn't hurt, right?
00:40:13She could be worried.
00:40:17Call me.
00:40:18Wife emergency.
00:40:22Sir?
00:40:23Are you decent?
00:40:25I think someone's trying to reach you.
00:40:27Bring it in.
00:40:28I'm decent.
00:40:30Oh my god.
00:40:31Oh my god.
00:40:33Oh my god.
00:40:34I'm so sorry.
00:40:35You said you were decent.
00:40:36I was decent.
00:40:38I'm gonna call a car.
00:40:40I'm gonna go home.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:47I'll see you tomorrow.
00:40:49Clothed.
00:40:51At the show.
00:41:00Mr. Townsend, this is Dr. Peck.
00:41:02So, at your request, we did the urinalysis.
00:41:06Were you anywhere you could have been drugged?
00:41:14Dad.
00:41:15I was about to ask for your money.
00:41:16Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm calling.
00:41:19Don't ask for your husband.
00:41:20What are you talking about?
00:41:22I lied.
00:41:24About being sick.
00:41:25I lied.
00:41:26About being sick.
00:41:28What?
00:41:30The company does need the money desperately,
00:41:32but it's not because I'm sick.
00:41:36I'm sorry.
00:41:37You lied to me about being sick
00:41:39so I'd ask my husband for money?
00:41:41Yes.
00:41:42I'm so sorry, Katie.
00:41:45I regret ever letting Evelyn into this family
00:41:47and all the hurt that it has cost you.
00:41:51I just feel like
00:41:52like I owe you the truth.
00:41:55Don't you still need money for Mom's company?
00:41:58Yeah.
00:41:59Yeah, the company will go under without it.
00:42:02Either that or
00:42:03if somebody buys us out.
00:42:05Well, does it matter who buys you out?
00:42:08Uh, no.
00:42:09Then I'll ask.
00:42:13Absolutely not.
00:42:14What if the money's for someone else?
00:42:16It doesn't matter what it's for.
00:42:18It doesn't matter.
00:42:19What if the money's for someone else?
00:42:20It doesn't matter what it's for.
00:42:22You both get the second installment of a million dollars
00:42:24after you've hit two years.
00:42:26More if you stayed married longer,
00:42:28an offer you refused.
00:42:31You know, you're lucky he's not holding you accountable
00:42:33for violating the contract.
00:42:35Violating the contract?
00:42:36He has a girlfriend!
00:42:37My client has been nothing but faithful to you
00:42:40and is requesting one million dollars in damages.
00:42:45Okay, he wants to go through with the divorce
00:42:48and recoup his inheritance
00:42:50and one million dollars in damages
00:42:52from the respondent?
00:42:53From me?
00:42:54What damages?
00:42:55What damages?
00:42:56Emotional distress.
00:42:58We're aware of your activity with other men.
00:43:01With other men?
00:43:02I've never...
00:43:03Discretion was part of the agreement.
00:43:05There were no other men.
00:43:07Oh my God.
00:43:08Did he see me with Jack?
00:43:10I'm not signing this.
00:43:12You can tell your client he's not getting a cent from me.
00:43:16I need this money.
00:43:17So I'll be staying married to him as long as it takes
00:43:19until I get what I'm owed.
00:43:21You can tell John
00:43:22this is what I think of his little agreement.
00:43:26And if he wasn't such a fucking coward,
00:43:28he would have shown up himself
00:43:30instead of sending his little minion in his place.
00:43:39Well, you got what you wanted.
00:43:41She's paying the money?
00:43:43No, she doesn't want a divorce anymore.
00:43:46That's not what I want anymore.
00:43:48I don't want to stay married to this woman.
00:43:50I tried.
00:43:51It's not about the money.
00:43:52It's the principle.
00:43:53She needs to pay the money
00:43:55for violating the agreement
00:43:56and making me look like a fucking idiot.
00:43:59Just get her out of my fucking life.
00:44:11Gene said you wanted to speak to me in private, sir?
00:44:13Shit.
00:44:14He's going to want to talk about last night.
00:44:16I just wanted to apologize for last night.
00:44:19It was an accident.
00:44:21You were drunk.
00:44:22It's no excuse,
00:44:23but my drinks had some aphrodisiacs in it as a prank.
00:44:27So he didn't really want to kiss me?
00:44:30You know I never in a million years
00:44:33would disrespect you like that.
00:44:35Regardless of you being married or...
00:44:37Right.
00:44:38In a million years.
00:44:39I totally understand.
00:44:41So I apologize and...
00:44:42Of course.
00:44:44Good.
00:44:45I'll see you at the show.
00:44:55Are you...
00:44:56okay, sir?
00:44:59It's personal, Miss Abrams.
00:45:01Whatever his lawyer was calling about
00:45:03must not have gone well.
00:45:06Kate.
00:45:07Are you still down to introduce
00:45:09our big accessories collection at the Bayer show?
00:45:11We appreciate you pulling double duty.
00:45:13That's huge.
00:45:14Of course.
00:45:19Must be nice
00:45:21being the CEO's little bitch.
00:45:23All those late night dinners must really be paying off.
00:45:27All those late night dinners must really be paying off.
00:45:30I don't know what you're talking about.
00:45:32It's a little tacky,
00:45:34him parading his new mistress around.
00:45:36Watch your mouth.
00:45:37You must have a golden pussy
00:45:38if you get to announce my new collection.
00:45:40It's the team's collection.
00:45:43Haley.
00:45:44Is there a problem?
00:45:45Yes.
00:45:47She's been on Townsend's desk for weeks
00:45:49and now suddenly she gets to announce
00:45:50the new collection to the Byers?
00:45:52Seems a little unfair.
00:45:54You know he only chose her because he's...
00:45:56I'm gonna stop you right there
00:45:57before you say something you regret.
00:46:00I selected Kate,
00:46:01not Mr. Townsend.
00:46:03Most of the designs in the collection are hers.
00:46:05Now if you have a problem with that,
00:46:07I suggest that you do better work.
00:46:10You'll be in the presentation as a model.
00:46:12You want me to wear her garbage jewelry?
00:46:15Yes.
00:46:17And if you refer to the collection like that again,
00:46:20you're fired.
00:46:22Do you have any other questions?
00:46:25No.
00:46:26Good.
00:46:27Now would the both of you please get back to work.
00:46:29This is a big day for all of us.
00:46:31So I need everyone's heads out of their asses
00:46:34and in the game.
00:46:43If she's going to be front and center,
00:46:46might as well make a show out of it.
00:46:50My bridal collection is epic,
00:46:52but I've been seeing some of the jewelry
00:46:54that Kate's team has been making
00:46:55to pair with the dresses.
00:46:57They're gonna absolutely kill the market.
00:46:59Great.
00:47:01You're being weird.
00:47:03How was your drive home last night?
00:47:05Janie enough.
00:47:07I have other things on my plate.
00:47:08She's married, she's my employee.
00:47:10Yeah, sort of.
00:47:12What does sort of mean?
00:47:22Hey, you look great.
00:47:24Doesn't she look great?
00:47:27Yes.
00:47:28Miss Abrams, you look great.
00:47:35I'm going to go look at my speech.
00:47:40Okay.
00:47:48Miss Abrams asked me to give this to you,
00:47:50to introduce the jewelry.
00:47:53There's been some changes to the speech.
00:48:06To introduce our new spring accessories line.
00:48:09I'd love to introduce the primary designer,
00:48:12Kate Abrams.
00:48:19I'm so excited to share the...
00:48:40I'm so excited to share this collection with all of you.
00:48:44By using Gold Vernet,
00:48:46our team was able to create a collection
00:48:48that is accessible, sustainable,
00:48:51and can be passed down for generations.
00:48:55I was given my grandmother's engagement ring
00:48:58every time I wore it.
00:49:00It was the first time in my life
00:49:02that I wore a ring.
00:49:04It was the first time in my life
00:49:06that I wore a ring.
00:49:08Every time I look at it, I think of her.
00:49:10I know one day I might be given
00:49:12my own engagement ring,
00:49:14but for me,
00:49:16this piece stands the test of time.
00:49:19And that's what I wanted for our collection.
00:49:22To create pieces like
00:49:24what I might pass down to my children one day.
00:49:27And with that,
00:49:29I hope you enjoy the show.
00:49:31I hope you enjoy the show.
00:49:38I hope you enjoy the show.
00:49:56She's amazing.
00:49:58Ooh la la.
00:50:00Oh, I knew it.
00:50:01Shut up.
00:50:03Listen, I don't know what's going on
00:50:05with whatever situation ship you're in.
00:50:07Jamie.
00:50:08I'm not gonna ask,
00:50:10but I really think you should get out of it.
00:50:13I'm trying, but there's a lot at stake.
00:50:15Like one million dollars, my pride.
00:50:18Okay, well, is it worth it?
00:50:20Whether it's with Kate...
00:50:22Jamie.
00:50:23Or somebody else.
00:50:24At some point, you're gonna have to start living your life.
00:50:27You are so good.
00:50:29That was great.
00:50:30Really?
00:50:31I kind of winged it.
00:50:32You improvised that whole thing?
00:50:34Yeah, I, um...
00:50:36When I looked at the monitor, it wasn't my speech.
00:50:43When I looked at the monitor, it wasn't my speech.
00:50:45I think someone must have changed it.
00:50:48Excuse me one second.
00:50:54Can you get me surveillance footage of the show?
00:50:56Yes, sir.
00:50:57Good.
00:50:58Have it texted to Miss Abrams.
00:51:04Dan, I need you to meet with my wife.
00:51:06Drop the request for money.
00:51:08We wait till our anniversary,
00:51:10both sign, get what's ours,
00:51:12and never speak to each other again.
00:51:15I'm done.
00:51:16She was cheating on you. What changed?
00:51:19I want to move on.
00:51:29What the hell?
00:51:32Hey, Hailey.
00:51:34There's a design I've been working on.
00:51:35I would love your opinion.
00:51:37You want me to fix your work?
00:51:41Fine.
00:51:42I'll try to fix the impossible.
00:51:46I have a mock-up of my phone.
00:51:50Miss Abrams asked me to give this to you.
00:51:51What do you think?
00:51:53That's not me.
00:51:54I know you switched the thumb drive.
00:51:56Well, you're a hoe,
00:51:58so I just gave you a more accurate speech.
00:52:00There's nothing wrong with that.
00:52:02You tampered with company technology
00:52:05on the biggest presentation of the year.
00:52:07You should be fired.
00:52:09You're not my boss.
00:52:10You're just garbage,
00:52:11so you can't fire me.
00:52:15I can.
00:52:17But I can't.
00:52:20Mr. Townsend,
00:52:22you can't believe her.
00:52:23Some IT moron doctored it and gave it to her.
00:52:26That's not true.
00:52:27I do believe her.
00:52:29Because I sent her the file.
00:52:31I thought he was avoiding me,
00:52:32but he was actually looking out for me.
00:52:35Do you want to call Miss Abrams a hoe to my face?
00:52:38Sir, I...
00:52:39Not only did you put the company at risk,
00:52:41I will not have anyone speak disparagingly
00:52:44about my employees or myself.
00:52:47Get your things.
00:52:48You're fired.
00:52:49But she's the one that you...
00:52:51Get out!
00:52:52Get out!
00:52:54Do you see this?
00:52:55This is absolute garbage.
00:52:57Security!
00:52:58No one is even going to wear this.
00:53:00I mean, I would rather choke myself
00:53:03than wear this garbage.
00:53:05No one will ever wear your designs.
00:53:07Your designs are shit.
00:53:14You really didn't have to do that.
00:53:17I did it for the company.
00:53:19It's been a long day.
00:53:21Go home early.
00:53:22See your husband.
00:53:26I wish my husband was more like him.
00:53:40Stop calling me, Chad,
00:53:42or I'm going to call the police!
00:53:47I spoke with your wife.
00:53:48We need to be at the hotel.
00:53:50Good.
00:53:51I'll meet you there and hopefully we can sign.
00:53:54Mr. Townsend?
00:53:56Sorry to interrupt.
00:53:57I didn't realize you were on the phone.
00:53:58I should go.
00:53:59I'll see you later.
00:54:01That woman's voice sounded familiar.
00:54:04Karen just wanted me to drop off
00:54:05these design specs to you
00:54:06before I headed out for lunch.
00:54:08Sorry to interrupt.
00:54:18So what?
00:54:19He's just dropping this whole thing now?
00:54:21He doesn't want to meet with me?
00:54:22He doesn't want my money?
00:54:23What's the catch?
00:54:24Why?
00:54:25Honestly, I think he might have met someone.
00:54:27The girlfriend from the phone.
00:54:29That's weird.
00:54:30I wish you two had met.
00:54:32You might have actually been good friends.
00:54:34I doubt that.
00:54:35So what, now we sign on our anniversary next week
00:54:38and both get a million dollars and we're done?
00:54:40Those are the terms.
00:54:42Soon you'll be a free woman.
00:54:44Whatever you need that money for,
00:54:45I hope you put it to good use.
00:54:50But don't we still need money for Mom's company?
00:54:53Yeah.
00:54:54The company will go under without Eddie.
00:54:56I mean, either that or somebody buys us out.
00:54:59Someone buys them out.
00:55:02I need you to leave me at your office alone.
00:55:04I think I know a way to get you out of this
00:55:06and pay off my loans.
00:55:15What are you doing here, Katie?
00:55:17What are you doing here, Katie?
00:55:18Meeting men at hotels?
00:55:20What are you, a whore now?
00:55:21I told you to leave me alone!
00:55:24When did your husband leave you?
00:55:25Please, Chad, just drop it.
00:55:27I can't drop it.
00:55:29I hear you're gossiping about our family
00:55:31and ruining our reputation.
00:55:33You are hurting my business.
00:55:35This business belonged to my mother, not you.
00:55:40You touch me, I'll scream.
00:55:42Look at you,
00:55:43playing so hard to get
00:55:45when you can be bought and sold
00:55:47like a fucking pig.
00:55:49I swear I'll yell.
00:55:50That wouldn't be a good look for our stock price now, would it?
00:55:53Oh.
00:55:54I'm sorry.
00:55:56Your mother's company.
00:55:58If I can't have you, Katie,
00:56:00no one will.
00:56:02If I can't have you, Katie,
00:56:04no one will.
00:56:06I will ruin you.
00:56:07And I'll have you crawling back,
00:56:09begging for me to have you.
00:56:11You're sick!
00:56:13What?
00:56:14You gonna hit me again, Katie?
00:56:21Happy birthday, Katie.
00:56:26I can't accept that.
00:56:28Of course you can.
00:56:30Come on, stop playing hard to get.
00:56:33We're not really siblings.
00:56:34We can be together.
00:56:36You know you want me.
00:56:45What happened?
00:56:47It was an accident.
00:56:48He came on to me.
00:56:49He did no such thing!
00:56:51You get the hell out.
00:56:53You are no longer part of this family.
00:56:55But...
00:56:56Get your things and get out!
00:57:00I'm so sorry.
00:57:01Your father doesn't want you.
00:57:03Your fake husband doesn't want you.
00:57:05You have nothing without me.
00:57:11Your fake husband doesn't want you.
00:57:13Your husband doesn't want you.
00:57:14You have nothing without me.
00:57:19My driver's outside.
00:57:20Run.
00:57:21Tell him to take you wherever you want.
00:57:23This is a family matter.
00:57:24It doesn't concern you.
00:57:25This must be why she never talks about her husband.
00:57:27He's trash.
00:57:28Go!
00:57:36If you so much put another finger on her again,
00:57:39I'll have you arrested.
00:57:44Are.
00:57:45We.
00:57:46Clear?
00:57:48Yes.
00:57:49Yes.
00:58:03Are you okay?
00:58:04Me?
00:58:05Yeah.
00:58:06I'm fine.
00:58:07You just missed your wife.
00:58:09Listen.
00:58:10If I were you,
00:58:11I would reconsider this whole divorce thing.
00:58:13She's hot.
00:58:14Really?
00:58:15You think so?
00:58:16Dude, are you blind?
00:58:17I date her.
00:58:18I saw her.
00:58:19You must have different tastes, Dan.
00:58:21Anyway, she agreed to the terms,
00:58:23so you'll both sign on your anniversary.
00:58:25Got it.
00:58:27I called you in here because I wanted to make sure you're okay.
00:58:30I'm sorry you had to see that.
00:58:32Listen, Kate.
00:58:33I'm worried about your safety.
00:58:35I know I'm not the one to talk, but
00:58:37that's not a healthy relationship.
00:58:39I know.
00:58:40You need to get a divorce.
00:58:42I don't know what that has to do with anything.
00:58:44I'm sorry.
00:58:45I'm sorry.
00:58:46I'm sorry.
00:58:47I'm sorry.
00:58:48I'm sorry.
00:58:49I'm sorry.
00:58:50I'm sorry.
00:58:51I'm sorry.
00:58:52I'm sorry.
00:58:53I'm sorry.
00:58:54I'm sorry.
00:58:55I don't know what that has to do with anything.
00:58:57It has to do with everything.
00:58:58My husband and I have a complicated relationship,
00:59:00but, you know, we're trying to work things out.
00:59:02Your husband seems crazy.
00:59:04To treat you like that?
00:59:05How can you fix things with that man?
00:59:07To treat you like that?
00:59:08How can you fix things with that man?
00:59:10No, no, no.
00:59:11That man was not my husband.
00:59:12That's my brother.
00:59:14Your brother.
00:59:15Gross.
00:59:16Step-brother.
00:59:17We're estranged.
00:59:19He's been calling me nonstop from all these different numbers
00:59:21ever since I got back, but I'm working on it.
00:59:24How does your husband feel about this?
00:59:26He...
00:59:27He doesn't know.
00:59:29He should.
00:59:31I don't want to worry him.
00:59:33Now is not the time to tell her I'm getting a divorce.
00:59:35She has too much on her plate.
00:59:37I'm having my security follow you until this is resolved.
00:59:40Oh, that won't be necessary.
00:59:42It's not up for debate.
00:59:45No one is going to hurt you.
00:59:55Um...
01:00:00You promise if I save the company, you'll keep Chad away from me?
01:00:03As best I can.
01:00:04Good.
01:00:05Then we'll move forward as soon as the divorce is final.
01:00:07Do you have the money?
01:00:08No.
01:00:09And I'm not giving you a million dollars.
01:00:11I'm buying controlling interest in Mother's Company.
01:00:14On one condition.
01:00:15Who the fuck are you to make conditions?
01:00:17Well, technically, if I have controlling interest,
01:00:19I can make whatever terms I want.
01:00:21What are your terms?
01:00:23You remove Evelyn from the board and fire Chad.
01:00:25Absolutely not!
01:00:27Honey, I can't do that.
01:00:30I built this company!
01:00:32You bled it and this family dry.
01:00:35And technically, if I own controlling interest,
01:00:37I can fire you whenever I want anyway.
01:00:39So it's probably best you just leave now.
01:00:41And Dad, you can stay on as CEO.
01:00:44What do you say?
01:00:47Evelyn, you're fired.
01:00:50Then I'm divorcing you!
01:00:53You're going to choose her over me?
01:00:55You know what, I should have done this a long time ago.
01:00:57Oh, then I'm going to sue you for all you're worth,
01:00:59you old sorry bag of balls.
01:01:01I've got nothing to give you,
01:01:03so all you're going to get is my debt.
01:01:05All right.
01:01:06I think it's best if you leave the premises,
01:01:08unless you want me to call security.
01:01:10Mummy.
01:01:11Oh, you ungrateful son of a bitch.
01:01:15You ungrateful little bitch.
01:01:17Oh, and if you could ask Chad to leave me alone,
01:01:19or I'll get a restraining order, that would be great.
01:01:21Thanks.
01:01:25I am so sorry that I brought her and Chad into our lives.
01:01:29I'll make sure this doesn't interfere with your life,
01:01:31and I will rebuild this company,
01:01:34and I will make it right.
01:01:36For both you and your mother.
01:01:39Because now I'm your boss.
01:01:46I heard everything that happened with that creep.
01:01:49You shouldn't be alone.
01:01:51I'm cooking you dinner.
01:01:52Janie, I'm fine.
01:01:54Too late.
01:01:55We're already here.
01:01:57What do you mean, we?
01:02:03I invited Jack.
01:02:07Where is your husband?
01:02:08He's not here.
01:02:10I'm sorry.
01:02:14Where is your husband?
01:02:15I'm looking forward to meeting him.
01:02:17Oh, um...
01:02:20He's actually still out of town.
01:02:22Yeah, he's been out of town for a very, very long time.
01:02:28Anyway, Kate, why don't you give me a tour of your house?
01:02:31I would love to go catch up.
01:02:33Sure.
01:02:34I'll just start on dinner.
01:02:43Okay, what's going on with this husband thing?
01:02:45It's getting kind of annoying.
01:02:47Why don't you just tell my brother the truth?
01:02:49Because the truth is weird,
01:02:50and I don't think he'll understand the truth.
01:02:52Okay, but he might.
01:02:53Janie, this is stupid, okay?
01:02:56You know I have to go along with the marriage thing
01:02:58and tell the anniversary so I can get the money,
01:03:00and blah, blah, blah.
01:03:01Besides, I can't be involved with anyone right now.
01:03:04Especially Jack.
01:03:06So you are interested.
01:03:09I'm not that type of girl, okay?
01:03:11You're in love with someone.
01:03:12Yes, this mysterious girl that I've never met.
01:03:16Well, you know, he's private.
01:03:19I think he's leaving her.
01:03:21So I've heard.
01:03:24Oh, you do like him.
01:03:26Oh, you guys are so ridiculous.
01:03:29Just think about telling him the truth.
01:03:35Think about telling him the truth.
01:03:41I will think about it.
01:03:43I will think about it.
01:03:44Okay.
01:03:45Okay?
01:03:49You know what?
01:03:50I have to go take a phone call in the other room.
01:03:52I'm not very domestic, so you know, you two have fun.
01:04:00All right.
01:04:01Peel this and grab a knife.
01:04:04Excuse me?
01:04:05This is my kitchen.
01:04:06You are not my boss in here.
01:04:08Peel this and grab a knife.
01:04:10Please.
01:04:15So with all your money, you cook too?
01:04:18My grandmother taught me.
01:04:20And I didn't always have money.
01:04:23So, to cut a shallot...
01:04:25Are you trying to make me cry?
01:04:27Are you trying to make me cry?
01:04:30Never.
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:34What do you want to do?
01:04:35Grab the knife.
01:04:37So you don't cry.
01:04:38You want to keep the root on.
01:04:40Then you want to cut against the grain.
01:04:43And make cross sections.
01:04:45Just like this.
01:04:57How does your husband feel about me being here?
01:05:00Oh, um...
01:05:02Yeah, about that, I think I...
01:05:05Should be honest with you.
01:05:07I, um...
01:05:13I got you.
01:05:19Let me see.
01:05:26I wish I could be a sharp knife away from you.
01:05:30Here, try this.
01:05:32It's fresh from the farmer's market.
01:05:34Maybe I should just tell her the truth.
01:05:37I'll tell him the truth when the divorce is final.
01:05:40It's too hard to explain.
01:05:44So, anyway, about your husband.
01:05:46Um, how does he feel about some random dude being here?
01:05:50You're not some random dude.
01:05:53You're not some random dude.
01:05:56You're not some random dude.
01:06:00You're different.
01:06:02How am I different?
01:06:04Well, you know, you're my boss and...
01:06:07My friend's brother.
01:06:10Right, your boss.
01:06:16Sorry, that phone call took so long.
01:06:18What'd I miss?
01:06:20Nothing.
01:06:21Not much.
01:06:22Cool.
01:06:23Oh, Jack, did you invite Kate to Mom's birthday?
01:06:27So her mom's in town, so we're throwing her a big birthday party.
01:06:30She would love to meet you.
01:06:33Well, I would love to meet her.
01:06:36Mom is sick of Jack never bringing a girl home.
01:06:39She'll definitely fall in love with Kate.
01:06:47You should go home. My driver can take you.
01:06:51Um, I just need to finish these sketches first.
01:06:55I'll send them back after your job's me. It's not safe.
01:06:59Thanks.
01:07:00Um, Kate, I was wondering if you'd like to go to my mother's party with me.
01:07:05She's a primary investor of this company, and I think she should know our designers.
01:07:10Won't your wife be going with you?
01:07:12It's complicated. My mother's not the biggest fan of my relationship decisions.
01:07:17No wonder his wife keeps her distance from the family.
01:07:20And your husband? Would he want to go? I don't want to overstep.
01:07:24Um, he's out of town. He's working.
01:07:27But Janie said she's going, so sure.
01:07:31Great. Do you know the dress code?
01:07:33No.
01:07:34Your mother's a designer. You'll have to wear something from the archive.
01:07:37What archive?
01:07:39Janie pulled them in your size. Try them on.
01:08:09Do you mind?
01:08:34That is the one.
01:08:36Definitely.
01:08:37Leave it here, and I'll have them send it to your house along with the jewelry from your collection.
01:08:42See you tomorrow. I'll meet you here.
01:08:56So you just sign there, and I'll have my client sign tomorrow, and we're done.
01:09:02Okay. There you go.
01:09:05We'll wire the money to your bank account. Thanks for meeting me here.
01:09:08There's really no problem. I work in the building, so...
01:09:11This building?
01:09:12Mm-hmm.
01:09:13Okay. Have a nice day.
01:09:15Yeah. See you in the break room.
01:09:22I signed, and I'll be divorced in a few days.
01:09:25No matter what, I should tell Jack the truth.
01:09:28No matter what, I should tell Jack the truth.
01:09:41Your wife has no stipulations. You just need to sign, and you're divorced.
01:09:46It's that easy?
01:09:48Maybe you've met. She said she worked in the building.
01:09:51That's weird. It's only our company. It could be a buyer or client or something.
01:09:57I probably misheard.
01:09:59Maybe take the night and read it over first before you sign?
01:10:06Have fun at your party.
01:10:22Going down.
01:10:27Okay.
01:10:38Wow.
01:10:39Do you think your mom will like it?
01:10:41How could she not? It's her design.
01:10:46My son is late. Again.
01:10:48Don't worry. He'll be here.
01:10:51John is so focused on his work. I just want him to find the right girl and settle down.
01:10:56I've been meaning to talk to you about that.
01:11:01Speak of the devil.
01:11:04And who is this?
01:11:06No one.
01:11:07She doesn't look like no one.
01:11:09She will be soon.
01:11:12Jack.
01:11:15Happy birthday, Mom.
01:11:17Mommy, this is Kate Abrams.
01:11:20You have excellent taste, Kate.
01:11:27Jackie.
01:11:30You look amazing.
01:11:34Kate.
01:11:37Have you met my date?
01:11:42Oh, Katie and I know each other very well.
01:11:45Stay calm, Kate.
01:11:47Don't make a scene.
01:11:48Fortunately, we have met.
01:11:51I see your face is healed.
01:11:52Oh, good.
01:11:54While you two catch up, I'll go get some drink.
01:12:01I don't want to ruin the party. I'll handle this.
01:12:06What are you doing here?
01:12:08I was invited.
01:12:09I think you should go.
01:12:10Not until Kate has a drink with me.
01:12:12We have family matters to discuss.
01:12:25Maybe this will help Jack feel differently about me.
01:12:30One drink and then you'll leave?
01:12:34One drink and then you'll leave?
01:12:37I swear.
01:12:38Come with me.
01:12:39Hey, dude, you're not her husband, so why don't you just back off?
01:12:42Jack, it's okay. It's just one drink.
01:12:45Here you two go.
01:12:48So what were we all talking about?
01:12:51Kate and I were just going to catch up.
01:12:53Oh, good.
01:12:54Jack and I have some things to catch up on, too.
01:12:58Excuse me, Annabelle.
01:13:05Kate doesn't come back with that man in 15 minutes. Call the police.
01:13:11You have me here. Now what?
01:13:13I need you to hire me back and reinstate my mother on the board.
01:13:17Absolutely not.
01:13:18Kate, we're family.
01:13:20Your family destroyed our company and my life.
01:13:24You stole from my father. You're a fucking stalker. I'm not helping you.
01:13:28People can change.
01:13:30What's wrong? You barely touched your drink?
01:13:33I'm not thirsty.
01:13:34You need to trust me.
01:13:36Now, we said we'd have one drink.
01:13:38I'm not leaving until then.
01:13:51You bitch.
01:14:09Annabelle texted me and told me that Kate is upstairs alone in a hotel room.
01:14:12Excuse me, Mom.
01:14:14God, are you okay?
01:14:18I'm more than okay, sweetheart.
01:14:23Let me make you feel okay.
01:14:45What the hell are you doing?
01:14:47Don't you want me?
01:14:49That drink should have warmed you up for me, baby.
01:14:52You're disgusting.
01:14:54And I didn't drink it. Not after what you and Xander pulled the other night.
01:15:05Oh, my God.
01:15:06Kate, Kate, Kate.
01:15:08Oh, my God. Kate, Kate.
01:15:09Kate, wake up. Wake up.
01:15:11Help!
01:15:15Help!
01:15:20Are you her husband?
01:15:22No, just a friend.
01:15:24I don't have her cell code to call her husband. Is she all right?
01:15:27She's fine. We pumped her stomach.
01:15:29We just need her full name and insurance card for the system.
01:15:32I can send her wallet. Let me get back to you.
01:15:35Kate Smith?
01:15:37It's a common name.
01:15:38Then again, Dan said she worked in my building.
01:15:50I'm Kate. I used to live in this neighborhood.
01:15:53My husband and I do have a complicated relationship,
01:15:55but we're trying to make things work.
01:15:57I'm Kate. I used to live in this neighborhood.
01:16:00My husband and I do have a complicated relationship,
01:16:02but we're trying to make things work.
01:16:04Oh, my God. It's her.
01:16:06Oh, my God. It's her.
01:16:10Dan, I won't divorce her. I'm not going to sign.
01:16:13Draft up fake papers if you need to.
01:16:19Kate?
01:16:22I'm so happy you're okay.
01:16:24The police arrested Chad as soon as you left.
01:16:27They found a weapon on him.
01:16:35Thank God.
01:16:37It could have been so much worse.
01:16:39They're holding him without bail, so he won't be getting out anytime soon.
01:16:43You're safe, okay?
01:16:46Where's Jack?
01:16:48I'd really like to thank him.
01:16:51Well, once he found out you were okay,
01:16:53he had to go do something.
01:16:56Something about his wife.
01:16:58I don't really know. He said he would explain later.
01:17:02Ugh, his wife.
01:17:04I need to end whatever this is between us.
01:17:08Ugh, his wife.
01:17:10I need to end whatever this is between us.
01:17:15Miss Smith,
01:17:17I'm sending over a courier with the finalized divorce papers.
01:17:20Congratulations.
01:17:22You are now a single woman.
01:17:37Kate, hi.
01:17:39Hi.
01:17:42I, um, I wanted to say thank you for everything the other night.
01:17:47I'm just glad you're okay.
01:17:50I also wanted to say that
01:17:55whatever's going on between us, I think it should stop.
01:17:59You're my boss and you're married, so...
01:18:01No.
01:18:03No.
01:18:04I totally understand.
01:18:06I appreciate it.
01:18:08I think my wife and I are going to give it another go.
01:18:11Oh.
01:18:13Yeah, I'm going to give it a real shot.
01:18:17Well, she's, um,
01:18:20a very lucky lady.
01:18:26Hi.
01:18:49Janie.
01:18:50Hi.
01:18:51Hi.
01:18:52Come on in.
01:18:56How's it going?
01:18:57Good.
01:18:59What's up?
01:19:01We are going to celebrate your divorce.
01:19:04How?
01:19:06We're going to drink this bottle and we're going to try on wedding dresses.
01:19:10Janie, I just got a divorce.
01:19:12Exactly.
01:19:15Okay, fine.
01:19:16I need to see my designs on a body and you, my friend, are the sample size.
01:19:19Come on, it'll be fun.
01:19:23Fine.
01:19:24Yes!
01:19:25Okay, come on.
01:19:26Let's go.
01:19:32Your dress is going to fit you perfectly.
01:19:35Oh, it's not for me.
01:19:37Of course it is.
01:19:39It's custom.
01:19:40I think there might be some confusion.
01:19:42I'm not getting married.
01:19:49Hopefully you are, Kate.
01:19:52Two years ago, my grandma asked me to marry a stranger.
01:19:56I never expected to fall in love with her.
01:20:00Is it too late to give this another try?
01:20:03It was you.
01:20:05Jack is short for John.
01:20:08Oh my God, you weren't married.
01:20:10I was.
01:20:12To you.
01:20:14I'm John Michael Townsend.
01:20:16Nice to meet you.
01:20:19Kate Smith.
01:20:22How did it take me so long to realize it was you?
01:20:32Long, but never late.
01:20:34Kate, now that I know you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
01:20:42Will you marry me?
01:20:44Again?
01:20:46Only this time for real.
01:20:49Yes, yes, yes.
01:21:08I told you you'd make a cute couple.
01:21:18I love you.
