00:00:00They say the most primal human things are fighting, and well, I was about to learn both.
00:00:16Every girl wants to find her prince charming, but unfortunately we don't exactly live in
00:00:21a fairy tale world.
00:00:23There's no such thing as happily ever after.
00:00:26Where is the duck for table two?
00:00:29Table two ordered something special, chef.
00:00:32No, table two ordered the special, and the special is the duck.
00:00:37What is this?
00:00:38Nothing.
00:00:39Yes, exactly.
00:00:40This is nothing.
00:00:41Now.
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 won't tell us about, Jack?
00:01:11Jack?
00:01:13Jack?
00:01:15Hello?
00:01:17Yeah, the dog.
00:01:21Hi.
00:01:24Hi.
00:01:29You ordered the special?
00:01:31Actually, I-
00:01:33Trust me.
00:01:34Who is that girl?
00:01:37Something about her.
00:01:39It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:41Well, that was presumptuous.
00:01:43Huh?
00:01:44The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?
00:01:46Don't tell me you're actually impressed by that little slut, Jack.
00:01:49It looks good.
00:01:51The food or the waitress?
00:02:01And what do you think you are doing?
00:02:03I'm making something from this century.
00:02:05You know what?
00:02:06That's it.
00:02:07I've had enough.
00:02:08You are fired.
00:02:09Get out of here.
00:02:10Not this again.
00:02:11What did you say?
00:02:13I am serious this time.
00:02:15You are fired.
00:02:16You get out of here.
00:02:17What?
00:02:18You take this.
00:02:19You give up your act.
00:02:20Get 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.
00:02:31They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:36Yeah, the trash.
00:02:41Asshole.
00:02:51Please.
00:02:52Don't scream.
00:02:53Don't scream, baby.
00:02:55Or do you want to scream for me?
00:02:57Please.
00:03:02Hey.
00:03:06No.
00:03:07No.
00:03:08No.
00:03:10No.
00:03:11No.
00:03:12No.
00:03:13No.
00:03:14No.
00:03:15No.
00:03:16No.
00:03:17No.
00:03:18No.
00:03:20Hey, wait.
00:03:43Not now, weren't I?
00:03:46Jack, my man.
00:03:47Que paso?
00:03:48Yo.
00:03:49So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:52When you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:54The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:57Yeah.
00:03:58Yeah, come on.
00:03:59Are you even listening?
00:04:00I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:04:03And, I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:04:05Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:10How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:14Maybe next time.
00:04:18Thanks.
00:04:20Call me. I'll call you back. Jack, come on.
00:04:22Look, you gotta lock on me.
00:04:24Jack's never done that before.
00:04:26If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then...
00:04:29The Morrison deal's over.
00:04:31We're over.
00:04:33Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:36I've got just the plan.
00:04:45Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:55How am I gonna find her again?
00:05:03You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:06You out of your mind? Vivian and I are done.
00:05:08Never again.
00:05:10She's just... business now.
00:05:12Very well, sir.
00:05:15Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:17I'll find another wife.
00:05:19I'm afraid not.
00:05:21But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:24You must be married before your 32nd birthday,
00:05:27for precisely 365 days.
00:05:29I know, I know.
00:05:31And with that fateful birthday fast approaching,
00:05:33there's little time.
00:05:35The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:38And most crucially of all,
00:05:40you must not tell a soul about the marriage clause.
00:05:44Especially your wife.
00:05:46Or I lose everything.
00:05:48Everything.
00:05:59Don't complain about anything.
00:06:01I don't complain. I don't.
00:06:03All I'm saying is, you're gonna have to start living in the real world.
00:06:06I am living in the real world.
00:06:14Really? Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job
00:06:16is the real world.
00:06:18Creative... differences.
00:06:20There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:23Lily.
00:06:25You gotta open up your own place.
00:06:28You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:30So you gotta show the world what you got.
00:06:32Besides,
00:06:34I have my share of money.
00:06:36But without yours,
00:06:38we're never gonna be able to afford Mom's operation.
00:06:40Yeah, and it'll be all my fault.
00:06:44Lily.
00:06:48There is an opening at my office.
00:06:50Seriously?
00:06:52It's stable. Health insurance.
00:06:54401K.
00:06:56I'd rather die.
00:06:58You'd rather be broke.
00:07:00No, I'd rather...
00:07:06How can you help Mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:14Fine, yeah, you're right.
00:07:16Let's do it.
00:07:18Hi.
00:07:42Hi.
00:07:44Name?
00:07:47Lily Dunning.
00:07:49Can I help you?
00:07:51Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:53My sister's Megan.
00:07:55She works here.
00:07:57Last place of employment?
00:07:59Chez Francois.
00:08:01A restaurant?
00:08:03Yes, I'm a chef.
00:08:05My passion's cooking, so I...
00:08:07And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:09No.
00:08:11No, of course not.
00:08:13And why do you think someone like you could work here?
00:08:16I just need a job.
00:08:18Sorry, I'm...
00:08:20Thanks. We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:24You can go now.
00:08:26Bye-bye.
00:08:34Screw this!
00:08:38Fuck!
00:08:46What are you looking at?!
00:08:54I'm sorry, Mom.
00:08:56I've tried everything, and I've let you down.
00:08:58You?
00:09:02Me.
00:09:06You dropped something.
00:09:08How did you...?
00:09:11How did you...?
00:09:15What are you doing here?
00:09:17I have a proposition for you.
00:09:19Sorry, I'm not interested in
00:09:21propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:23Well, hold on.
00:09:25Just hear me out.
00:09:27I heard you get fired.
00:09:29I 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.
00:09:35Really?
00:09:38What if I told you
00:09:40this proposition could solve
00:09:42all your problems?
00:09:44Really?
00:09:46Solve all my problems?
00:09:48I've got a lot of problems.
00:09:50What if I told you I need a wife?
00:09:52I'd tell you that there are apps for that.
00:09:54For one year.
00:09:56Classy.
00:09:58Look, listen.
00:10:00I have a very important business deal
00:10:02with some very important people involved,
00:10:04and they need to see stability.
00:10:06I need someone stable.
00:10:08Well, that's just it.
00:10:10I need someone who won't fall in love with me.
00:10:12Someone who will just walk away after the year.
00:10:14And you seem...
00:10:16uniquely qualified.
00:10:18I thought you'd think I'm good at walking away.
00:10:26Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:28Well, anything you want.
00:10:30Money, a place to live,
00:10:32complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:34Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:46Wow.
00:10:48Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:52It'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?
00:11:08Complete privacy.
00:11:10But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:12Play the happy wife.
00:11:34This is, um...
00:11:38specific.
00:11:40I like clarity.
00:11:50Wife agrees to perform...
00:11:56very specific.
00:11:58Is there a problem?
00:12:01Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:06What's going on here?
00:12:16I'm saying yes.
00:12:18Yes.
00:12:28To everything.
00:12:42Do you...
00:12:44Jack Thorne?
00:12:46This is insane.
00:12:48Shut up, boy.
00:12:54This is fucking nuts.
00:12:56Shut the fuck up.
00:12:58I do.
00:13:16I do.
00:13:46This marriage is...
00:13:48it's just a contract?
00:13:54Well...
00:13:56I think that the contract says that...
00:14:00this is my room.
00:14:10But...
00:14:12Good night, husband.
00:14:14Good night, husband.
00:14:26And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:30And the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:32Kitchen.
00:14:44And we have the west wing library...
00:14:46and the east wing pool.
00:14:52How do you find anything in here?
00:14:54One of dots, madam.
00:15:02Yeah.
00:15:04And this room...
00:15:06is the...
00:15:08Oh, dear.
00:15:12Would you excuse me?
00:15:14Of course.
00:15:16Apologies.
00:15:32What are you doing here?
00:16:02Oh, my gosh.
00:16:12Oh, my gosh.
00:16:18Problem?
00:16:22This is...
00:16:24a lot.
00:16:26The 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.
00:16:36Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:42You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:44Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:46Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:48Yes, I am...
00:16:50Mr. Thorne.
00:17:00Hi.
00:17:06And then I said...
00:17:08I'm ready.
00:17:10Hi.
00:17:16And then I said...
00:17:18Do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:20I don't need a knife. I need a chainsaw.
00:17:22Okay.
00:17:24Jackie, there you are.
00:17:26Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:28We simply must celebrate.
00:17:32I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:34That doesn't mean we can't celebrate.
00:17:36Right?
00:17:38I think I have a dozen things...
00:17:40you could do to me.
00:17:46My God.
00:17:48This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:50I'm sorry, but I didn't even...
00:17:52do anything.
00:17:54Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:56Waitstaff Training School?
00:17:58Vivian.
00:18:00Oh, that was it.
00:18:02She was actually a waitress.
00:18:04Or, I don't remember.
00:18:06Excuse me.
00:18:10So, what'd you guys have?
00:18:12We're tough with the ex.
00:18:18So, as I was saying...
00:18:36Mm-hmm.
00:18:44You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:19:06Wow.
00:19:08Good?
00:19:10Surprisingly good.
00:19:12Surprisingly good?
00:19:16Well, payment for spying.
00:19:18Payment accepted.
00:19:20You know...
00:19:22the house this grand...
00:19:24I would expect...
00:19:26a kitchen to match.
00:19:30I had to make do.
00:19:32Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:34It's a shame.
00:19:44You can go now.
00:19:46You can go now.
00:20:02You, um...
00:20:04wanted to see me.
00:20:06Time for your first lesson.
00:20:08My what?
00:20:10What?
00:20:14Self-defense.
00:20:16Never know when you might need it.
00:20:18I don't know if that's really...
00:20:20Number one. Stance.
00:20:24Move the feet apart.
00:20:26Bend this knee.
00:20:28Yep. Then move this foot forward.
00:20:30Good.
00:20:32Okay.
00:20:34Now, hands up.
00:20:36Protect the face.
00:20:38No.
00:20:40Like this.
00:20:46I'm not...
00:20:48really good at this.
00:20:50We're just getting started.
00:20:52Oh.
00:20:54Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:58Rule number one.
00:21:00Stance.
00:21:02Right?
00:21:08Yeah.
00:21:32Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:34I, um...
00:21:36Business expense?
00:21:38Business expense.
00:21:42These are...
00:21:44the best knives in the market.
00:21:46The best knives to the best chef?
00:21:50Why are you doing this?
00:21:52The contract.
00:21:54No.
00:21:56The real reason.
00:21:58Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:22:02Maybe...
00:22:04you just like watching me.
00:22:10You know that, um...
00:22:12This doesn't change anything.
00:22:14Of course not.
00:22:20This is for your mother.
00:22:28No, this is too much.
00:22:30This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:33We second it.
00:22:37I think that's literally the nicest thing
00:22:39a man has ever done for me.
00:22:41What's the catch?
00:22:54We've got a problem.
00:22:56Morning to you, too.
00:22:58So, the inheritance release date is set, but...
00:23:00if anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:23:02No one's gonna find out.
00:23:04Oh, really?
00:23:06Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:23:08It's under control.
00:23:10Is 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?
00:23:28This Morrison deal...
00:23:30is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:34Don't tell me you're actually fooling...
00:23:36Get out.
00:23:58Get out.
00:24:28Get out.
00:24:58Oh, no.
00:25:00God.
00:25:28Jack, darling.
00:25:30Fancy seeing you here.
00:25:32Vivian?
00:25:34The 82 crystal.
00:25:36Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:38I can still feel it running down my back,
00:25:40just thinking about it.
00:25:42We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:44Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:46You'll never believe what Hannah said
00:25:48about the Asian market today.
00:25:52Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:54This must be so boring for you.
00:25:56You're so insightful, Vivian.
00:25:58You do bore me.
00:26:00Darling,
00:26:02the adults have business to discuss.
00:26:04Why don't you go back to, like, chopping
00:26:06or whatever it is that you do?
00:26:08So basically, you know, the company way
00:26:10that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:12I had a business meeting with Hannah today
00:26:14and she has basically advised me to say that
00:26:16our investments are not making any profit
00:26:18because me, myself, isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:20So my proposal for next year
00:26:22would be basically...
00:26:26...
00:26:28...
00:26:30...
00:26:32...
00:26:34...
00:26:36...
00:26:38...
00:26:40Quite the whirlwind romance you've got there.
00:26:42What's the catch?
00:26:44There's always a catch.
00:26:46Excuse me, I...
00:26:48Rebecca Chen. Social pages.
00:26:50Two days from first meeting
00:26:52to marriage.
00:26:54This must be some kind of record.
00:26:56Though lately I've been more interested
00:26:58in, uh, business deals.
00:27:00Hmm. What would you say?
00:27:04Love at first sight
00:27:06or something more contractual?
00:27:08You know, you should really write
00:27:10romance novels. Seems you have
00:27:12quite the imagination.
00:27:18We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:20I have a feeling there's quite a
00:27:22story here.
00:27:32The Morrison Foundation dinner's tonight.
00:27:34Oh, great. Another dinner.
00:27:36It's important. They're all important.
00:27:38It's a part of the deal.
00:27:40They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:44You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:46Did I?
00:27:49At least Vivian will be there
00:27:51to talk deals
00:27:53and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:57Whatever.
00:28:09Nice.
00:28:11Real mature.
00:28:14No, don't.
00:28:16Fuck.
00:28:18Okay.
00:28:20Okay, fine.
00:28:22You wanna go?
00:28:26No, no, please.
00:28:30Okay.
00:28:32Yeah, yeah.
00:28:34No, no, no.
00:28:36Let go.
00:28:38No.
00:28:40Ow!
00:28:46Yeah.
00:29:11Yeah.
00:29:17So, Jack's inheritance is all set.
00:29:19But he still hasn't signed
00:29:21the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:23That's a problem.
00:29:25Hmm.
00:29:27It's the girl, isn't it?
00:29:29The waitress.
00:29:31You 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 under way.
00:29:39And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:43I have everything under control.
00:29:45Oh, really? Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.
00:29:47You know, maybe I overestimated
00:29:49your sway over Jack.
00:29:51You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:53I've just begun.
00:29:59I've got it.
00:30:11Funny how you can
00:30:13count on the help to answer the door.
00:30:15I live here.
00:30:17Of course you do.
00:30:19Okay, thanks.
00:30:23Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study?
00:30:25We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:27Yeah.
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:33Well, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:39Vivian?
00:30:43Remember Tokyo?
00:30:45That sake bar?
00:30:47I'm married.
00:30:49Are you now?
00:30:51I hadn't noticed.
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.
00:31:13I forgot something.
00:31:15Maybe you can
00:31:17help me figure it out?
00:31:23Coffee?
00:31:25Oh, no thank you.
00:31:27Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:29Oh,
00:31:31and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:33Do you, Jack?
00:31:35Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:37I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee
00:31:39how he liked it,
00:31:41and he just absolutely
00:31:43laps up
00:31:45every drop
00:31:47of my coffee.
00:31:49Isn't that right?
00:31:51Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:53Hmm.
00:31:59So,
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...
00:32:09Ancient history.
00:32:11That's not what I heard.
00:32:13From who?
00:32:15Around.
00:32:17Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:19You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:21I've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:23That's business.
00:32:25Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:29But you know what?
00:32:33What's this?
00:32:35Some pretty big
00:32:37business that you haven't
00:32:39been sharing with me.
00:32:41I think Vivian wants some of it, too.
00:32:43But you know what?
00:32:47Maybe you should just keep your business
00:32:49to yourself.
00:32:51Sad.
00:32:53Watch your stance.
00:32:59I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:01I'm not lying, Lily.
00:33:05Don't break my heart.
00:33:09Yeah.
00:33:19Yeah.
00:33:43Yeah, the sky is so grey today.
00:33:45I hate it so much.
00:33:47Don't act like you know me. There's someone following me.
00:33:49Oh my god, are you okay?
00:33:51Who's following you?
00:33:53That weirdo?
00:33:59Is he gone?
00:34:01I think he's gone.
00:34:11You sure?
00:34:17You like that?
00:34:23I think your technique could use some work.
00:34:25I got the dota rights.
00:34:29Sure, that wasn't me.
00:34:47What?
00:34:53Of course.
00:34:55And I think the real challenge is market penetration
00:34:57in emerging economies.
00:34:59I'm sure Jax brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:35:03Actually, I...
00:35:05Tell me.
00:35:07What's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:09I think...
00:35:11No comment?
00:35:13How surprising.
00:35:15Excuse me.
00:35:17Great thinking, Lily.
00:35:19All of our drinks could use a refill.
00:35:21All of our drinks could use a refill.
00:35:45Love you.
00:35:51But this thing isn't going to last forever, Jack.
00:35:53I don't know.
00:35:55I mean, what choice do you have?
00:35:57Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:35:59Unless you want to lose this deal forever.
00:36:03Lunch?
00:36:07I was just on my way out.
00:36:11Think about it, Jack.
00:36:21What was that about?
00:36:23Nothing. Just business.
00:36:25Just business.
00:36:27Of course.
00:36:29Lily, wait.
00:36:35What do you want, Jack?
00:36:51I'm taking you on a holiday.
00:36:53What?
00:36:55You have time for that?
00:36:57A lot of time.
00:36:59Just us?
00:37:01I know what I want.
00:37:07Oh, what about, um...
00:37:09What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:11I can wait.
00:37:13I can wait.
00:37:15There she is.
00:37:17What?
00:37:19That smile.
00:37:21It's the one you had when I first laid eyes on you.
00:37:23I'll never forget it.
00:37:25You know that I don't just, um...
00:37:27serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:29Really?
00:37:31Mm-hmm.
00:37:35I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thornton,
00:37:37but I've got to go.
00:37:39I've got to go.
00:37:41I've got to go.
00:37:43I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thornton.
00:37:45I've been told to relay that there's a problem
00:37:47back at the office.
00:37:49Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:51Safe. Thank you.
00:37:53Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:57Yeah.
00:37:59Very good.
00:38:01Who sent the message?
00:38:03They didn't chase her.
00:38:09Lily, I'm sorry.
00:38:11Please don't. Please.
00:38:13It's just business.
00:38:15It's business, yeah. I get it.
00:38:25Lily, I shouldn't...
00:38:27Just shut up and
00:38:29taste this.
00:38:31Mm.
00:38:39This tastes, uh...
00:38:41Incredible?
00:38:43Yeah.
00:38:45Yeah, I know.
00:38:47Jack?
00:38:49Mm-hmm?
00:38:51Do you want more?
00:38:53Um, after this one?
00:38:55No.
00:38:57Let the food...
00:38:59Talk about us.
00:39:07How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:21Oh!
00:39:23Oh, my God.
00:39:25What was that?
00:39:29Oh, my God.
00:39:35Any enemies?
00:39:37Business rivals?
00:39:39No one comes to mind.
00:39:41Security cameras?
00:39:43Being installed as we speak.
00:39:55Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:57Sorry.
00:39:59That's what I saw.
00:40:05I'm ruined.
00:40:07You okay?
00:40:09Yeah.
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:23This is so insane.
00:40:25It's probably just kids.
00:40:27Kids?
00:40:29Seriously?
00:40:31Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:33Oh, sorry.
00:40:35What, are you afraid that someone's gonna hear
00:40:37about our perfect marriage?
00:40:45What are you hiding from me?
00:40:51Hey.
00:40:53Hey, you know that secret room
00:40:55that you didn't want me to find?
00:40:59I found it.
00:41:01Yeah?
00:41:07Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:13Do you want to see it?
00:41:15Show me.
00:41:23Okay.
00:41:45Most people run.
00:41:47I'm not most people.
00:41:53This is
00:41:55what you're into?
00:41:57Among other things.
00:41:59And all of those
00:42:01specific
00:42:03requirements?
00:42:05We're meant to scare you off.
00:42:07I don't scare you, Sam.
00:42:09I'm starting to get that.
00:42:15Show me.
00:42:17Are you sure?
00:42:19Are you?
00:42:23Are you?
00:42:25Are you?
00:42:27Are you?
00:42:29Are you?
00:42:31Are you?
00:42:33Are you?
00:42:35Are you?
00:42:37Are you?
00:42:39Are you?
00:42:41Are you?
00:42:43Are you?
00:42:45Are you?
00:42:47Are you?
00:42:49Are you?
00:42:51Are you?
00:42:59So?
00:43:03So.
00:43:09Sir, Miss Chase is here.
00:43:11She says it's urgent.
00:43:13Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo
00:43:15and they need you there. Final deal points.
00:43:17Jack's leaving in 30.
00:43:19Pack your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:23Lily, wait.
00:43:27Just go.
00:43:49The way I can explain.
00:43:51Can you?
00:43:55Guess the
00:43:57business can't wait.
00:44:03This whole thing
00:44:05is...
00:44:07It's...
00:44:09It's...
00:44:11It's...
00:44:13It's...
00:44:15It's...
00:44:17This whole thing is...
00:44:19Let me get this straight.
00:44:21You sleep with him
00:44:23and then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:25It's complicated.
00:44:27When isn't it with you?
00:44:29Look, maybe it's time to admit
00:44:31this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:33What? A mistake?
00:44:35That you were right?
00:44:37Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:39No, I want you to be happy.
00:44:41And are you?
00:44:43I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:45I mean, he paid for Mom's operation
00:44:47so that's cool, but...
00:44:49I know. And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for it.
00:44:57Lily?
00:44:59Stand back.
00:45:01What? Stand back, Megan.
00:45:07Lily!
00:45:09No!
00:45:13Go, motherfucker!
00:45:15Oh my God!
00:45:17Fuck you!
00:45:19Come on, let's go.
00:45:25What was that?
00:45:27Lessons with Jack.
00:45:29Jack taught you that?
00:45:31Yeah. Yeah.
00:45:33Dude's getting better by a minute.
00:45:35I know.
00:45:37Oh man.
00:45:39You okay?
00:45:41Yeah.
00:45:43God, things were supposed to be so simple.
00:45:47Now what?
00:45:49I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:51Oh, honey.
00:45:53I'm kidding.
00:46:07I'm kidding.
00:46:21He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:23Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:37How could you?
00:46:43Eleven months.
00:46:45Almost a year.
00:46:47I barely knew
00:46:49about studying more.
00:46:51Lily?
00:47:03Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:47:05I'm all ears.
00:47:07It's about the deal.
00:47:09About Lauren, Vivian.
00:47:11Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:13Oh, great.
00:47:15The press.
00:47:21The press.
00:47:27These aren't real.
00:47:29Oh, my sisters say they are very real.
00:47:31Story runs in 48 hours.
00:47:33Lily, this is what I was just about to tell you.
00:47:35I've been set up.
00:47:39Care to comment, Mr. Thorne?
00:47:43You know, it's funny.
00:47:45For a minute, I really believed.
00:47:47Lily, wait.
00:47:51They're not real.
00:47:53Tick 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
00:48:13that this was just a business deal?
00:48:15Like I believed you when you said
00:48:17that Vivian was just a colleague?
00:48:21Like I believed that last night actually meant something?
00:48:23It did.
00:48:25Lily, what happened between us was...
00:48:27The transaction.
00:48:29That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:31That's not true.
00:48:33And you know it.
00:48:35Do I?
00:48:37Because 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.
00:48:49You had something more going on here.
00:48:51With the business deal.
00:48:53And your inheritance.
00:48:55Anything more to explain?
00:49:03That's what I thought.
00:49:07You're a terrible person.
00:49:11If you leave now, you violate the contract.
00:49:13You get nothing.
00:49:15I don't care.
00:49:19I never cared about any of that.
00:49:39Hands up.
00:49:41Protect the face.
00:49:43No, don't.
00:49:45Go?
00:49:47No.
00:49:57Warren?
00:49:59Finally, look.
00:50:01About the Morrison deal.
00:50:03It's off.
00:50:05What do you mean it's off?
00:50:07All of it.
00:50:09The deal.
00:50:11The inheritance.
00:50:13I don't want any of it.
00:50:15I think I've heard it.
00:50:45You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:47Watch me.
00:51:01Hey.
00:51:03What happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:05The one who quit her job
00:51:07because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:09She played.
00:51:11Did she?
00:51:13Did she?
00:51:19If that's Jack...
00:51:21I'm sure that's just my oxygenarian neighbor
00:51:23who's a total drama queen.
00:51:25Watch.
00:51:27Gladys?
00:51:29Gladys, is that you?
00:51:31Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:39Sir.
00:51:41Hi.
00:51:43I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:45You might want to see this.
00:51:51What am I looking at here?
00:51:53Wire transfers, shell companies.
00:51:55All leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:57Warren.
00:51:59I knew it.
00:52:01You might want to see these too, sir.
00:52:03They'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
00:52:15shell companies.
00:52:17Although I suspect Miss Chase's
00:52:19interests are not
00:52:21purely financial.
00:52:33Sir?
00:52:35They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:37Perhaps it's time we stop playing
00:52:39their game.
00:52:41Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:43Every meeting, every call.
00:52:45I already compiled, sir.
00:52:47Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:49Some things are worth more than money.
00:53:03Calling back, Megan?
00:53:07Fuck.
00:53:37Oh my god.
00:53:51Thank god.
00:53:53I got us into this.
00:53:55I can get us out of this.
00:53:57Oh, I can do this.
00:53:59Oh, I can do this.
00:54:01Your little cookie's on her way over to save
00:54:03her sister as we speak.
00:54:05And I wouldn't put money on how well
00:54:07that's gonna go.
00:54:09If anything happens to her, that's up to you.
00:54:13Sign the papers.
00:54:15And this all goes
00:54:17away.
00:54:19Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.
00:54:25Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:54:27Don't they?
00:54:29I always knew you were soft.
00:54:31But this?
00:54:33Throwing away a billion dollar inheritance
00:54:35for some chef.
00:54:37He's not throwing it away.
00:54:39He's giving it to us.
00:54:41All we need is a signature,
00:54:43Jack.
00:54:45You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:47Always have.
00:54:53I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:55Hmm.
00:54:57Wait.
00:55:03Wait.
00:55:17Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:23Remember your training.
00:55:25Protect your face.
00:55:27Please.
00:55:31Megan!
00:55:33Lily!
00:55:37Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:39Please, come on.
00:55:41Come on.
00:55:47Of course it's a trap.
00:55:49The question is,
00:55:53what are you gonna do about it?
00:55:55I've traced the video feed
00:55:57to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:55:59Room 115.
00:56:01Lauren's called the police.
00:56:03Already done.
00:56:05But sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:07She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:13No, no, no, no.
00:56:17Lauren, she's there.
00:56:19Lily's there.
00:56:21Hold on, Lily.
00:56:23Hold on.
00:56:37Leave her alone!
00:56:39Shut up!
00:56:41Get away from my wife.
00:56:43Well, well.
00:56:45Our hero arrives.
00:56:47Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:49Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:53I'm not some damsel
00:56:55in distress.
00:56:57That's my girl.
00:57:05Oh.
00:57:07I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:09Look.
00:57:17That's for my sister.
00:57:19You son of a bitch.
00:57:27Lily.
00:57:29About everything.
00:57:31The photos, Vivian.
00:57:33Now? Seriously?
00:57:35I love you.
00:57:37Not for any inheritance.
00:57:39Not for any deal.
00:57:41Just...
00:57:43you.
00:57:45I know.
00:57:55You, stay right there.
00:57:57Come on, cover me.
00:58:08What the hell?
00:58:13This isn't...
00:58:15Possible?
00:58:17And I wouldn't put money on
00:58:19how well that's gonna go.
00:58:21Sign the papers.
00:58:23Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:25That proves nothing.
00:58:27I think it might prove something.
00:58:29Yeah, and those photos that you planted?
00:58:31Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:33You can't.
00:58:35Those two are under arrest.
00:58:39You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:41The inheritance, the...
00:58:43Are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:45You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:47I do.
00:58:55Yes, thank you.
00:58:57Thanks.
00:59:01Now that's a story.
00:59:06Here to twist the knife?
00:59:08Actually,
00:59:10I'm here to get it right.
00:59:12Where did you...?
00:59:14Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:16Seems your butler is a little
00:59:18armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:20So, no scandal piece?
00:59:22Oh.
00:59:24There's definitely a scandal.
00:59:26But not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:30That's...
00:59:32actually accurate.
00:59:34I'm a reporter.
00:59:36Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:38Though I must admit, I didn't see
00:59:40the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:42Yeah, neither did I.
00:59:44Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:46Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:56What about the inheritance?
00:59:58You really think I care about any of that now?
01:00:04Just take me home.
01:00:07Yes, dear.
01:00:17Slut's coming up?
01:00:19Must be a new record.
01:00:21It is for me.
01:00:23Any regrets?
01:00:26Only one.
01:00:29That didn't get your chef's special sooner.
01:00:31Could have saved us a lot of trouble.
01:00:33Yeah.
01:00:38Excuse me, sir.
01:00:40Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:42How bad is it?
01:00:44Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:46She's included the last bit you wanted put in.
01:01:00Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:01:02In a shocking turn of events,
01:01:04tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans
01:01:06to transform his inherited fortune
01:01:08into the city's largest culinary grant program?
01:01:12Surprised?
01:01:15But your... your inheritance is gone.
01:01:19My inheritance, yeah.
01:01:21But turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:24You sold the company?
01:01:26Turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:33Come here.
01:01:36My turn.
01:01:44Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:46Keep it thin, okay? Just like that.
01:02:02This looks good on you.
01:02:05And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:08Suckers.
01:02:10Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:13Depends.
01:02:15Did my wife make it?
01:02:17The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:19Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:27Hang on.
01:02:33Voila.
01:02:38I'm the best chef in town.
01:02:41You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:45I think that contract expired.
01:02:48Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:56We are gathered here today...
01:02:58No more business deals.
01:03:00We are gathered here today...
01:03:02No more business deals this time.
01:03:04Just love.
01:03:05Good.
01:03:07Because I have some terms off my own.
01:03:10First.
01:03:12You have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:14Done.
01:03:16Second.
01:03:18No more locked rooms.
01:03:21Without me in it.
01:03:24Is that all?
01:03:26Third.
01:03:28You have to mean it this time.
01:03:30I meant it the first time.
01:03:32Just didn't know yet.
01:03:34The rings?
01:03:36Actually...
01:03:42Is that...
01:03:43Something old.
01:03:44Something new.
01:03:46Something borrowed.
01:03:47Something...
01:03:50Not mine.
01:03:58For better or worse...
01:04:00For real this time.
01:04:03You make us the bride.
01:04:20So...
01:04:22Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:25What are you...
01:04:28Lauren, tell me back.
01:04:35Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:39I don't know...
01:04:41Mr. Thorne.
01:04:45Can you handle them?
01:04:47I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:50How about you just shut up...
01:04:52And kiss your wife?
01:04:58No.
