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, the duck.
00:00:42Just 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?
00:01:12Jack?
00:01:14Jack?
00:01:16Hello?
00:01:18Yeah, the dog.
00:01:22Hi.
00:01:25Hi.
00:01:30You ordered the special?
00:01:31Actually, I...
00:01:32Trust me.
00:01:33Who is that girl?
00:01:34Something about her.
00:01:35It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:36Well, that was presumptuous.
00:01:37Huh?
00:01:38The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?
00:01:39Don't tell me you're actually impressed by that little slut, Jack.
00:01:40It looks good.
00:01:41The food or the waitress?
00:01:42The food.
00:01:43The food.
00:01:44The food.
00:01:45The food.
00:01:46The food.
00:01:47The food.
00:01:48The food.
00:01:49The food.
00:01:50The food.
00:01:51The food.
00:01:52The food.
00:01:53The food.
00:01:54The food.
00:01:56The food.
00:01:58The food.
00:01:59The food.
00:02:00The food.
00:02:01And what do you think you're doing?
00:02:04I'm making something from the century.
00:02:06You know what?
00:02:07That's it.
00:02:08I've had enough.
00:02:09You are fired!
00:02:10Get out of here!
00:02:11Not this again.
00:02:12What did you say?
00:02:13I am serious this time, you are fired, you get out of here!
00:02:16What?
00:02:17You take this, you give up your act, you get out!
00:02:21No, please, sir.
00:02:22It won't happen again!
00:02:23No more Mr. Nice Guy this time, you get out, you leave!
00:02:26Please!
00:02:26No, no!
00:02:27Come on, come on, man!
00:02:29Fuck!
00:02:32They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:37Yeah, the trash.
00:02:42Asshole!
00:02:54Oh, God!
00:02:55Don't scream.
00:02:56Don't scream, baby.
00:02:58Or do you want to scream for me?
00:03:05Hey!
00:03:10No!
00:03:11No!
00:03:15Hey, wait!
00:03:17No!
00:03:19No!
00:03:21No!
00:03:22No!
00:03:23No!
00:03:44Not now, we're in it.
00:03:47Jack, my man.
00:03:48Que paso?
00:03:49So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:52When are 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, are you even listening?
00:04:00I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:04:04And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:04:06Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:07Um...
00:04:10How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:15Maybe next time.
00:04:18Thanks.
00:04:19Call me.
00:04:20I'll call you back.
00:04:21Jack, come on.
00:04:22You gotta lock on me.
00:04:23Jack's never done that before.
00:04:25If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:31We're over.
00:04:32Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:36I've got just the plan.
00:04:44Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:47She's gone again.
00:04:56How am I going to find her again?
00:05:04You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:06You out of your mind?
00:05:07Vivian and I are done.
00:05:09Never again.
00:05:10She's just... business now.
00:05:13Very well, sir.
00:05:14Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:17I'll find another wife.
00:05:19I'm afraid not.
00:05:20But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:24You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:29I know, I know.
00:05:30And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.
00:05:34The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:37And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage clause.
00:05:42Especially your wife.
00:05:45Or I lose everything.
00:05:47Everything.
00:05:58Don't complain about...
00:05:59I don't complain. I don't.
00:06:01All I'm saying is, you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:05I am living in the real world.
00:06:13Really?
00:06:14Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:17Creative... differences.
00:06:20There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:24Lily.
00:06:26You've got to open up your own place.
00:06:28You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:30So you've got to show the world what you've got.
00:06:33Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:36But without yours, we're never going to be able to afford mom's operation.
00:06:41Yeah, it'll be all my fault.
00:06:44Lily.
00:06:47There is an opening at my office.
00:06:50Seriously?
00:06:51It's stable. Health insurance. 401K.
00:06:55I'd rather die.
00:06:56You'd rather be broke.
00:06:57No, I'd rather...
00:07:05How can you help mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:11Fine.
00:07:14Fine. Yeah, you're right.
00:07:16Let's do it.
00:07:41Hi.
00:07:44Name?
00:07:46Lily Dunning.
00:07:48Can I help you?
00:07:49Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:51My sister's Megan. She works here.
00:07:54Last place of employment?
00:07:56Chez Francois.
00:07:58A restaurant?
00:07:59Yes, I'm a chef. My passion's cooking, so I...
00:08:03And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:05No.
00:08:07No, of course not.
00:08:08No, of course not.
00:08:10And why do you think someone like you could work here?
00:08:15I just need a job.
00:08:18Sorry, I'm...
00:08:19Thanks. We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:23You can go now.
00:08:25Bye-bye.
00:08:34Screw this!
00:08:38Fuck!
00:08:49What are you looking at?!
00:08:57I'm sorry, mom. I've tried everything and I've let you down.
00:09:01You?
00:09:05Me.
00:09:08You dropped something.
00:09:11How did you...?
00:09:15What are you doing here?
00:09:18I have a proposition for you.
00:09:20Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:24Well, hold on. Just hear me out.
00:09:26I heard you get fired.
00:09:28I know you don't have any money.
00:09:31Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.
00:09:33I'm doing fine, thank you.
00:09:36Really?
00:09:39What if I told you this proposition could solve all your problems?
00:09:44Really? Solve all my problems?
00:09:48I'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.
00:09:55Classy!
00:09:56Look, listen.
00:09:58I have a very important business deal
00:10:00with some very important people involved
00:10:02and I need to see stability.
00:10:05Okay, so find someone stable.
00:10:07Well, that's just it.
00:10:09I need someone who won't fall in love with me.
00:10:11Someone who will just walk away after the year.
00:10:14And you seem uniquely qualified.
00:10:17I 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.
00:10:35Just 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.
00:11:01You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:03My own wing?
00:11:04Complete privacy.
00:11:06But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:08Play the happy wife.
00:11:31This is, um...
00:11:35Specific?
00:11:37I like clarity.
00:11:46Hm.
00:11:48Wife agrees to perform...
00:11:51Hm.
00:11:53Very...
00:11:55Specific.
00:11:57Is there a problem?
00:11:59Is there a problem?
00:12:02Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:06What's going on here?
00:12:17I'm saying yes.
00:12:29To everything.
00:12:47This is insane.
00:12:48Shut up, Warren.
00:12:54This is fucking nuts.
00:12:55Shut the fuck up.
00:12:58I do.
00:13:01I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:28I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:49This marriage, it's...
00:13:51It's just a contract.
00:13:53Huh?
00:13:58Well...
00:14:00I think that the contract says that...
00:14:04This is my room.
00:14:13But...
00:14:14Good night, husband.
00:14:24And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:28And the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:41And we have the west wing library and the east wing pool.
00:14:49How do you find anything in here?
00:14:51How do you find anything in here?
00:14:53One of ducks, madam.
00:15:05And this room is the...
00:15:09Oh dear.
00:15:12Would you excuse me?
00:15:13Of course.
00:15:14Apologies.
00:15:21What are you doing here?
00:15:47What are you doing here?
00:15:52I'm sorry.
00:16:12Oh my gosh.
00:16:18Problem?
00:16:21This is...
00:16:23A lot.
00:16:25The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions.
00:16:28Including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:31I can't accept this.
00:16:32You can.
00:16:33And you won't.
00:16:35Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:43You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:45Wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:00Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:17:02Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:16And then I said,
00:17:17Do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:19I don't need a knife.
00:17:20I'm a dancer.
00:17:21Okay.
00:17:23Jackie.
00:17:24There you are.
00:17:25Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:28We simply must celebrate.
00:17:31I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:33That doesn't mean we can't celebrate.
00:17:36Right?
00:17:38I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:46My God.
00:17:47This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:49I'm sorry, but I didn't even do anything.
00:17:53Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:55Waitress staff training school?
00:17:57Vivian.
00:18:00Oh, that was it.
00:18:01She was actually a waitress.
00:18:03Or, I don't remember.
00:18:05Whatever it was.
00:18:07Excuse me.
00:18:10So, what you got to say?
00:18:13We're done with the ex.
00:18:19As I was saying.
00:18:44You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:49Okay.
00:19:12Wow.
00:19:14Good?
00:19:15Surprisingly good.
00:19:16Surprisingly good?
00:19:19Well, payment for spying.
00:19:22Payment accepted.
00:19:24You know, a house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:33I had to make do.
00:19:35Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:38It's a shame.
00:19:47You can go now.
00:19:50Okay.
00:20:04You, um, wanted to see me?
00:20:07Time for your first lesson.
00:20:10My what?
00:20:15Self-defense.
00:20:17Never know when you might need it.
00:20:19I don't know if that's really...
00:20:20Number one.
00:20:21Stance.
00:20:24Move the feet apart.
00:20:26Bend this knee.
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:29Then move this foot forward.
00:20:31Good.
00:20:32Okay.
00:20:33Now, hands up.
00:20:35Protect the face.
00:20:37Okay.
00:20:39Now, like this.
00:20:41Oh, God, sorry.
00:20:47I'm not really good at this.
00:20:50We're just getting started.
00:20:52Oh.
00:20:55Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:58Rule number one.
00:21:01Stance.
00:21:03Right?
00:21:16Okay.
00:21:32Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:34I, um...
00:21:36Business expense?
00:21:39Business expense.
00:21:42These are the best knives on the market.
00:21:44The best knives to the best chef?
00:21:49Why are you doing this?
00:21:51The contract.
00:21:52No.
00:21:54The real reason.
00:21:56Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:22:01Maybe...
00:22:04You just like watching me.
00:22:09You know that, um...
00:22:10You know that, um...
00:22:13This doesn't change anything.
00:22:15Of course not.
00:22:21This is for your mother.
00:22:28No, this is too much.
00:22:30This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:33At least I can do it.
00:22:34At least I can do it.
00:22:38I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
00:22:42What's the catch?
00:22:55We've got a problem.
00:22:57Morning to you, too.
00:22:59So, the inheritance release date is set, but...
00:23:01If anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:23:02No one's gonna find out.
00:23:04Oh, really?
00:23:05Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:23:08It's under control.
00:23:09Is it?
00:23:12Because it seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...
00:23:15I said it's handled.
00:23:27Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:29This Morrison deal?
00:23:32It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:36Don't tell me you're actually for...
00:23:37Get out.
00:24:02Get out.
00:24:32Get out.
00:24:33Get out.
00:25:03Oh, no.
00:25:05God.
00:25:16Jack, darling.
00:25:18Glad to see you here.
00:25:20Living in a house like this?
00:25:22Yeah.
00:25:24I mean, it's a nice house, isn't it?
00:25:26It's a nice house.
00:25:28It's a nice house.
00:25:30It's a nice house.
00:25:32Vivian?
00:25:33The 82 crystal.
00:25:35Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:38I can still feel it running down my back just thinking about it.
00:25:41We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:44Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:46You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:52Oh, 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.
00:25:59Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:26:02Why don't you go back to, like, chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:26:07So basically, you know, the company way that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:11I had a business meeting with Hannah today,
00:26:13and she has basically advised me to say that our investments are not making any profit.
00:26:17The company itself isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:19So my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:30Huh.
00:26:39Quite the whirlwind romance you've got there.
00:26:43What's the catch?
00:26:45There's always a catch.
00:26:47Excuse me.
00:26:48Rebecca Chen.
00:26:49Social pages.
00:26:51Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:54This must be some kind of record.
00:26:56Though lately I've been more interested in business deals.
00:27:00Hmm. What would you say?
00:27:03Love at first sight or something more contractual?
00:27:08You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:11Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:17We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:20I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:23Well, the Morrison Foundation dinner's tonight.
00:27:26Oh, great. Another dinner.
00:27:28It's important.
00:27:29They're all important.
00:27:31It's a part of the deal.
00:27:33They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:36You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:38Did I?
00:27:42At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:44To talk about what?
00:27:46I don't know.
00:27:47Okay.
00:27:50At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:52To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:58Whatever.
00:28:10Nice. Real mature.
00:28:15No, don't.
00:28:18Okay. Okay, fine.
00:28:21You want to go?
00:28:22No.
00:28:25No, no, please.
00:28:30Okay, go ahead.
00:28:31No, no, no.
00:28:32Yeah, yeah.
00:28:33No, no, no, no.
00:28:34No, no, no.
00:28:35Let go.
00:28:36No.
00:28:38No.
00:28:39Ow!
00:28:47Yeah.
00:29:11Yeah.
00:29:17So, Jack's inheritance is all set.
00:29:20But he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:24That's a problem.
00:29:26Hmm.
00:29:27It's the girl, isn't it?
00:29:29The waitress.
00:29:30You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:33And I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:34No, I've done my part.
00:29:37That's underway.
00:29:38And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:42I have everything under control.
00:29:45Oh, really? Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.
00:29:47You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack.
00:29:51You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:53I've just begun.
00:29:59I've got it.
00:30:11Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:30:15I live here.
00:30:17Of course we do.
00:30:19Okay, thanks.
00:30:22Jack, darling.
00:30:24Should we proceed to the study?
00:30:26We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:33Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:40Vivian?
00:30:43Remember Tokyo?
00:30:45That sake bar?
00:30:47I'm married.
00:30:50Are you now?
00:30:52I hadn't noticed.
00:30:54Uh-huh.
00:30:56You know that feeling?
00:30:58When you leave the house,
00:31:00and you just feel like
00:31:02you've forgotten something?
00:31:12I forgot something.
00:31:13Maybe you can
00:31:16help me figure it out?
00:31:21Coffee?
00:31:23Oh, no thank you.
00:31:25Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:28Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:31See you, Jack.
00:31:33Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:35I guess before me,
00:31:37Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:39And he just
00:31:41absolutely
00:31:42laps up
00:31:44every drop
00:31:46of my coffee.
00:31:49Isn't that right?
00:31:51Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:58So,
00:32:01how's Vivian?
00:32:03Focus on your form.
00:32:05You know,
00:32:06I was just wondering
00:32:08how long the two of you...
00:32:09Ancient history.
00:32:11That's not what I heard.
00:32:13From who?
00:32:14Around.
00:32:16Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:18You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:20You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:23That's business.
00:32:25Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:30But you know what?
00:32:33What's this?
00:32:36Some pretty big business
00:32:37that you haven't been sharing with me.
00:32:40I think Vivian wants some of it, too.
00:32:43But you know what?
00:32:46Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:50Sad.
00:32:52Watch your stance.
00:32:57I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:00I'm not lying, Lily.
00:33:04Don't break my heart.
00:33:06Don't break my heart.
00:33:09No.
00:33:36No.
00:33:44Yeah, the sky is so gray today.
00:33:45I hate it so much.
00:33:47Please act like you know me.
00:33:48There's someone following me.
00:33:49Oh my god.
00:33:50Are you okay?
00:33:51Who's following you?
00:33:53That weirdo?
00:34:00Is he gone?
00:34:01I think he's gone.
00:34:06You sure?
00:34:15Like that?
00:34:19I think your technique could use some work.
00:34:22I got the dota rights.
00:34:26You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:35No.
00:34:51What?
00:34:57Of course.
00:34:58And I think the real challenge is
00:34:59market penetration in emerging economies.
00:35:02I'm sure Jax brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:35:06Actually, I...
00:35:08Tell me, what's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:12I think...
00:35:15No comment?
00:35:16How surprising.
00:35:17Excuse me.
00:35:19Great thinking, Lily.
00:35:21All of our drinks could use a refill.
00:35:35No.
00:35:45Love you.
00:35:54But this thing isn't gonna last forever, Jack.
00:35:57I don't know.
00:35:59I mean, what choice do you have?
00:36:01Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:36:02Unless you want to lose this deal forever.
00:36:07Lunch?
00:36:10I was just on my way out.
00:36:15Think about it, Jack.
00:36:24What was that about?
00:36:26Nothing.
00:36:27Just business.
00:36:28Just business.
00:36:29Of course.
00:36:30Of course.
00:36:32Lily, wait.
00:36:38What do you want, Jack?
00:37:00Taking you on a holiday.
00:37:01What?
00:37:02You have time for that?
00:37:05A lot of time.
00:37:08Just us?
00:37:09I know what I want.
00:37:14Oh, what about, um...
00:37:16What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:18That could wait.
00:37:22There she is.
00:37:24What?
00:37:26That smile.
00:37:27It's the one you had when I first laid eyes on you.
00:37:31I'll never forget it.
00:37:32You know that I don't just, um...
00:37:35Serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:37Really?
00:37:38Mm-hmm.
00:37:43I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.
00:37:45I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.
00:37:49Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:51Save.
00:37:53Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:58Yeah.
00:38:00Very good.
00:38:02Who sent the message?
00:38:04Vivian Chase.
00:38:10Lil' Bae, I'm sorry.
00:38:11Don't. Please.
00:38:12It's just business.
00:38:13It's business, yeah.
00:38:14I get it.
00:38:25Lily, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:26Just shut up and taste this.
00:38:31Okay.
00:38:39Mm. This tastes, uh...
00:38:40Incredible?
00:38:41Yeah.
00:38:42Yeah, I know.
00:38:44Mm.
00:38:48Jack?
00:38:49Mm-hmm?
00:38:51Do you want more?
00:38:53Um, after this one?
00:38:54No.
00:38:56Let the food...
00:38:58Jack.
00:39:00Talk about us.
00:39:07How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:22Oh!
00:39:23Oh, my God.
00:39:26What was that?
00:39:30I don't know.
00:39:35Any enemies?
00:39:37Business rivals?
00:39:39No one comes to mind.
00:39:42Security cameras?
00:39:44Being installed as we speak.
00:39:56Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:58Sorry.
00:40:00That's all I saw.
00:40:05I'm worried.
00:40:06You okay?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:18Yeah.
00:40:22This is so insane.
00:40:26It's probably just kids.
00:40:27Kids?
00:40:28Seriously.
00:40:30Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:31Oh, sorry.
00:40:33What, are you afraid that someone's gonna hear
00:40:35about our perfect marriage?
00:40:44What are you hiding from me?
00:40:49Hey.
00:40:51Hey, you know that secret room
00:40:53that you did at Mommy Not Mine?
00:40:55That you did at Mommy Not Mine?
00:40:59I found it.
00:41:02Yeah?
00:41:07Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:13Do you wanna see it?
00:41:16Show me.
00:41:25Okay.
00:41:46Most people run.
00:41:48I'm not most people.
00:41:53So...
00:41:55this is what you're into?
00:41:58Among other things.
00:41:59And all of those...
00:42:03specific requirements?
00:42:05We're meant to scare you off.
00:42:07I don't scare easily.
00:42:09I'm starting to get that.
00:42:16Show me.
00:42:18You sure?
00:42:20Are you?
00:42:26No.
00:42:27I'm not scared.
00:42:28I'm not scared.
00:42:29I'm not scared.
00:42:30I'm not scared.
00:42:31I'm not scared.
00:42:32I'm not scared.
00:42:33I'm not scared.
00:42:34I'm not scared.
00:42:35I'm not scared.
00:42:36I'm not scared.
00:42:37I'm not scared.
00:42:38I'm not scared.
00:42:39I'm not scared.
00:42:40I'm not scared.
00:42:41I'm not scared.
00:42:42I'm not scared.
00:42:43I'm not scared.
00:42:44I'm not scared.
00:42:45I'm not scared.
00:42:46I'm not scared.
00:42:47I'm not scared.
00:42:48I'm not scared.
00:42:49I'm not scared.
00:42:50I'm not scared.
00:42:51I'm not scared.
00:42:52I'm not scared.
00:42:53I'm not scared.
00:42:54I'm not scared.
00:42:55I'm not scared.
00:42:56I'm not scared.
00:43:00So?
00:43:03So.
00:43:10Sir, Ms. Chase is here.
00:43:12She says it's urgent.
00:43:13Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there.
00:43:16Final deal points.
00:43:17Jack's leaving in 30.
00:43:19I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:23Lily, wait.
00:43:26Just go.
00:43:57The way I can explain.
00:44:01Can you?
00:44:05Guess the business can't wait.
00:44:16This whole thing is...
00:44:18Let me get this straight.
00:44:19You sleep with him and then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:23It's complicated.
00:44:24When isn't it with you?
00:44:26Look, maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:29What? A mistake?
00:44:31That you were right?
00:44:33Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:35No, I want you to be happy.
00:44:38And are you?
00:44:41I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:43I mean, he paid for mom's operation, so that's cool, but...
00:44:46I know.
00:44:47And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for...
00:44:50Lily?
00:44:52Stand back.
00:44:53What?
00:44:54Stand back, Megan.
00:44:59Kid, kid, kid, kid, kid.
00:45:01Lily!
00:45:06Get off!
00:45:07Get off, motherfucker!
00:45:08Fucker!
00:45:09Oh my God!
00:45:11Fuck you!
00:45:13Fuck you!
00:45:15Fuck you!
00:45:16Fuck you!
00:45:17Fuck you!
00:45:19Come on, let's go.
00:45:26What was that?
00:45:28Lessons with Jack.
00:45:30Jack taught you that?
00:45:32Yeah, yeah.
00:45:34Dude's getting better by a minute.
00:45:35I know.
00:45:40You okay?
00:45:41Yeah.
00:45:43God, things were supposed to be so simple.
00:45:45Simple?
00:45:47Now what?
00:45:49I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:52Oh, honey.
00:45:53Kid.
00:46:16He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:31Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:34How could you?
00:46:40I'll never forget you.
00:46:42I'll never forget you.
00:46:4411 months.
00:46:46Almost a year.
00:46:49I barely knew limits anymore.
00:47:02Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:47:04I'm all ears.
00:47:06It's about the deal.
00:47:07About Lauren, Vivian.
00:47:09Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:12Oh, great.
00:47:14The press.
00:47:25These aren't real.
00:47:27Oh, my sisters say they're very real.
00:47:30Story runs in 48 hours.
00:47:32Lily, this is what I was just about to tell you.
00:47:34I've been set up.
00:47:35I've been set up.
00:47:38Care to comment, Mr. Thorne?
00:47:42You know, it's funny.
00:47:44For 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.
00:48:08They're not real.
00:48:10You have to believe me.
00:48:11Like I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal?
00:48:15Like I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague?
00:48:20Like I believed that last night actually meant something?
00:48:23It did.
00:48:25Lily, what happened between us was-
00:48:26The transaction.
00:48:29That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:32That's not true.
00:48:33And you know it.
00:48:34Do I?
00:48:37Because from where I'm standing, you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:41You got a wife when you needed one.
00:48:43And a body when you wanted one.
00:48:45Lily, that's not it.
00:48:47Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:48Tell me that there's not something more going on here.
00:48:51With the business deal.
00:48:52And your inheritance.
00:48:54Anything more to explain?
00:48:56Lily.
00:49:03That's what I thought.
00:49:07You're a terrible person.
00:49:11If you leave now, you violate the contract.
00:49:14You get nothing.
00:49:16I don't care.
00:49:19I never cared about any of that.
00:49:26I'm sorry.
00:49:40Hands up.
00:49:41Protect the face.
00:49:43No, don't.
00:49:46Go?
00:49:47Nope.
00:49:56Warren?
00:49:57Finally, look.
00:49:59About the Morrison deal.
00:50:00It's off.
00:50:01What do you mean, it's off?
00:50:02All of it.
00:50:04The deal.
00:50:05The inheritance.
00:50:06I don't want any of it.
00:50:07Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:09I mean, everything that we've worked for.
00:50:11Actually...
00:50:15I think I've found it.
00:50:26What?
00:50:49You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:51Watch me.
00:50:57What?
00:51:04Hey.
00:51:05What happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:09The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:12She played.
00:51:13Did she?
00:51:19If that's Jack, I'm sure that's just my oxygenarian neighbor,
00:51:22who's a total drama queen.
00:51:24Watch.
00:51:25Gladys?
00:51:28Gladys, is that you?
00:51:30Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:38Sir.
00:51:40Coffee.
00:51:41Hi.
00:51:42I did some digging around, like you asked, sir.
00:51:45You might want to see this.
00:51:51What am I looking at here?
00:51:52Wire transfers, shell companies, all leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:58Lord.
00:51:59I knew it.
00:52:00You might want to see these too, sir.
00:52:02They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:08Son of a bitch.
00:52:10He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:11He sure is.
00:52:13All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:52:16Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial.
00:52:32Sir?
00:52:33They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:35Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:38Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:40Every meeting, every call.
00:52:41Already compiled, sir.
00:52:42I have a feeling we might need this.
00:52:44Sir.
00:52:45What about the inheritance?
00:52:47Some things are worth more than money.
00:53:02You're calling back, Megan?
00:53:12Fuck.
00:53:15Fuck.
00:53:46Oh, my God.
00:53:54I got us into this.
00:53:55I can get us out of this.
00:53:57Oh, I can do this.
00:53:58Oh, I can do this.
00:54:01Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.
00:54:06And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.
00:54:08If anything happens to her...
00:54:10That's up to you.
00:54:13Sign the papers.
00:54:15And this all goes away.
00:54:18Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.
00:54:25Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:54:28Don't they?
00:54:29I always knew you were soft.
00:54:32But this?
00:54:33Throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef?
00:54:36He's not throwing it away.
00:54:39He's giving it to us.
00:54:41All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:45You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:48Always have.
00:54:53I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:57Wait.
00:55:16Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:22Remember your training.
00:55:25Protect your face.
00:55:30Megan!
00:55:31Lenny!
00:55:35Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:38Come on.
00:55:40Come on.
00:55:46Of course it's a trap.
00:55:49The question is...
00:55:52What are you gonna do about it?
00:55:54Lenny!
00:55:58I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:56:01Room 115.
00:56:02Lauren's called the police.
00:56:04Already done.
00:56:05But sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:07She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:10No, no, no, no.
00:56:14Lauren, she's there.
00:56:15Lily's there.
00:56:20Hold on, Lily.
00:56:21Hold on.
00:56:39Leave her alone.
00:56:40Shut up!
00:56:43Get away from my wife.
00:56:44Well, well.
00:56:47Hero arrives.
00:56:49Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:54I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:57That's my girl.
00:57:05Ah.
00:57:07I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:18That's for my sister.
00:57:20You son of a bitch.
00:57:27Lily.
00:57:28About everything.
00:57:30The photos.
00:57:31Vivian.
00:57:33Now? Seriously?
00:57:34I love you.
00:57:37Not for any inheritance.
00:57:39Not for any deal.
00:57:41Just...
00:57:42you.
00:57:45I know.
00:57:55You, stay right there.
00:57:57Come on, cover me.
00:58:07What the hell?
00:58:12This isn't...
00:58:13Possible?
00:58:17And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.
00:58:19Sign the papers.
00:58:20Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:22That proves nothing.
00:58:23I think it might prove something.
00:58:25Yeah, and those photos that you planted?
00:58:27Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:29You can't.
00:58:30Yes, they can.
00:58:32And you two are under arrest.
00:58:35You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:36The inheritance, the-
00:58:37Are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:39You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:43I do.
00:58:51Yes, thank you.
00:58:53Thanks.
00:58:57Now that's a story.
00:59:00Now that's a story.
00:59:06Here to twist the knife?
00:59:07Actually, I'm here to get it right.
00:59:12Where did you-
00:59:13Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:15Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:19So, no scandal piece?
00:59:21Oh, there's definitely a scandal.
00:59:24But not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:27That's actually accurate.
00:59:30I'm a reporter.
00:59:32Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:34Though, I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:38Yeah, neither did I.
00:59:41Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:43Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:52The way about these things,
00:59:55the way about the inheritance-
00:59:57Do you really think that I care about any of that now?
01:00:04Just take me home.
01:00:07Yes, dear.
01:00:16Sun's coming up.
01:00:18Must be a new record.
01:00:21It is for me.
01:00:24Any regrets?
01:00:26Only one.
01:00:29That didn't get your chef's special sooner.
01:00:32Could have saved us a lot of trouble.
01:00:34Yeah.
01:00:38Excuse me, sir. Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:42How bad is it?
01:00:43Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:46She's included the last bit you wanted put in.
01:00:55Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:00:58In a shocking turn of events,
01:01:00tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans
01:01:02to transform his inherited fortune
01:01:04into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:08Surprised?
01:01:11But your, your inheritance is gone.
01:01:15My inheritance, yeah.
01:01:17It turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:20My inheritance, yeah.
01:01:21It turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:24You sold the company?
01:01:26Turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:36My turn.
01:01:37I don't know.
01:01:44Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:45Keep them thin, okay? Just like that.
01:02:03This looks good on you.
01:02:05And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:09Suckers.
01:02:10Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:13Depends. Did my wife make it?
01:02:16The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:19Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:28Hang on.
01:02:36Voila.
01:02:41I'm the best chef in town.
01:02:44You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:48I think that contract expired.
01:02:51Good thing I signed a new one.
01:03:00We are gathered here today...
01:03:01No 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, you have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:14Done.
01:03:16Second, no more locked rooms.
01:03:21Without me in it.
01:03:24Is that all?
01:03:26Third, you 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...
01:03:50I don't know.
01:03:58For better or worse...
01:04:00For real this time.
01:04:03You make us the bride.
01:04:14I love you.
01:04:20So...
01:04:22Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:25What are you...
01:04:29Lauren, tell me back.
01:04:35Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:40I don't know, Mr. Thorne.
01:04:44Can 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?
01:05:13I love you.
01:05:14I love you.
01:05:15I love you.
01:05:16I love you.
01:05:17I love you.
01:05:18I love you.
01:05:19I love you.
01:05:20I love you.
01:05:21I love you.
01:05:22I love you.
01:05:23I love you.
01:05:24I love you.
01:05:25I love you.
01:05:26I love you.
01:05:27I love you.
01:05:28I love you.
01:05:29I love you.
