00:00:00If this were a rom-com, how would it go?
00:00:05Well, since you're my boss, you'd
00:00:10obviously have to be a workaholic.
00:00:17And I'm an impressionable, underpaid assistant
00:00:22who just moved to the city.
00:00:23You force me to be your girlfriend
00:00:30to trick your parents.
00:00:32My father doesn't think that I'm serious
00:00:34enough to keep the division.
00:00:35And I hate every second of it.
00:00:39Are you enjoying the view?
00:00:41But then, helping you trick your parents
00:00:45lets me see you on a deeper level.
00:00:48And then what happens?
00:00:53Ah.
00:00:54Shh.
00:01:18Ah.
00:01:20Don't get distracted now, Mr.
00:01:27Stop talking.
00:01:28You had better be yawning from the back of an Uber, Mr.
00:01:34What?
00:01:35Oh, fuck.
00:01:36Kate's engagement party.
00:01:37You were supposed to remind me.
00:01:38I left 14 sticky notes on your desk.
00:01:39God damn it.
00:01:40You cannot be late to this.
00:01:41Who's that big boy?
00:01:42Please tell me this woman doesn't think she's got a shot with you.
00:01:49She's from Portugal?
00:01:50She knows this is just a fling.
00:01:51You're cheating on me with someone from Portugal?
00:01:52On second thought, Grace, you're going to have to handle this for me.
00:01:53I'm calling the car.
00:01:54Shower off your bad decisions and get in.
00:01:55Okay.
00:01:56This was fun, Nadia.
00:01:57But it's time for you to go.
00:01:58You can see yourself out, can't you?

00:04:36You know, I could give you some pointers I
00:04:40Saw your numbers
00:04:42Two percent growth is not gonna cut it. Not when dad is in slashing mode. Oh
00:04:50You haven't heard at next month's board meeting if you're not caught up
00:04:58Oh, but don't worry, I'm sure you'll find something. Hmm
00:05:05Maybe Mickey D's is hiring
00:05:07You do look good in yellow
00:05:13Now if you don't mind I have well wishers to greet
00:05:19Excuse me

00:05:57Now, I know we didn't have a meeting set up, but I have a potential business opportunity for you. Mr.
00:06:04Wolf, I really think we should discuss this

00:08:29Okay, fine I love him you happy
00:08:37I've loved him for five fucking years, and he does not give a shit about me. I
00:08:43Give him all of my waking hours. I get rid of his hookups. I
00:08:49Even check the security cameras on my phone every day because he doesn't trust the alarm company
00:08:55You don't want him taking advantage of you then don't let him
00:08:59You deserve love not dirty work
00:09:022% growth in this economy is impressive above industry standard Kate's division saw 8% last month alone
00:09:11Well, why don't we ask the IRS about Kate's growth?
00:09:14One of these days that behavior is going to come back to bite her in the ass. It's not just business
00:09:20Kate's a serious person. She's settling down and you're still in the tabloids
00:09:25This has nothing to do with my personal life. I am more than capable of this you want your division show me you're serious
00:09:32Otherwise, I'll be making my recommendation to the board. I've got to go
00:09:47I
00:09:49I

00:10:19Brennan I need a fresh start. I
00:10:23Cannot keep going around in circles with you

00:10:31I'm not trying to get you to understand me. I'm trying to get you to understand me
00:10:35I've been torturing myself trying to get you to see that
00:10:42It doesn't matter I'm done
00:10:51No, you're not
00:10:53You're still under contract for another year
00:10:56What kind of leader would I be if I just let my employees leave just because they wanted to
00:11:01Have a fresh start
00:11:04Do you want to do this the hard way Brennan, okay fine
00:11:15Hi, I need to speak with one of your attorneys, please. No any one of them's fine

00:18:52Sweetheart, oh come here, honey bunny. I
00:18:58Still can't believe you finally tamed my brother
00:19:02How'd you do it I
00:19:07Was in Soho, oh don't tell me you met in a bar. Oh
00:19:14No, of course we didn't meet at a bar do you want to tell them baby or should I
00:19:21um
00:19:22You tell it sweetheart
00:19:25I'll tell I
00:19:27Used to work for cross and co I
00:19:30Know I know your biggest rivals
00:19:33Brennan and I hated each other always stealing clients and competing
00:19:39But I always thought he was
00:19:41Cute one day. We were pitching the same client
00:19:45We were coming out of the building when I took a step out into the road without looking. I know I know
00:19:50It's a terrible habit that I have a car came barreling down the road at me
00:19:55And before I knew it, I felt a pair of strong arms pull me back. And when I opened my eyes, I
00:20:01Found myself staring up at your son
00:20:04how could I hate him after that and
00:20:07As they say the rest is history
00:20:16And I've been saving her from traffic ever since
00:20:21Wow, oh
00:20:23my gosh
00:20:24That sounds like something straight out of a movie
00:20:29Doesn't it honey? Hmm?
00:20:31almost too good to be true I
00:20:34tell you to get serious and then you pick some random girl up off the street and suddenly you're
00:20:41You're in love
00:20:42Samuel you've always been this way always taking the easy way out
00:20:48Content to settle in the middle coasting along on your name and your money
00:20:53You have no idea what you're talking about
00:20:58Brennan cares more about his company than anyone I've ever met. He's dedicated and conscientious and he's
00:21:08Sam
00:21:13Dinner and a show lucky me. Thanks for the fun night
00:21:24Mm-hmm
00:21:31Brennan I have some contracts to go over. Excuse me Oh
00:21:36Oh
00:21:51Mrs. Wolfe, I am so sorry. I don't know what came over me
00:21:56I was completely out of line and I want to apologize
00:21:59Grace, I love my husband, but he's always been too hard on Brennan
00:22:05Thank you so much for defending him I
00:22:11Can tell you really do care for you I do
00:22:28Nightcap
00:22:31I thought you were mad at me. No, I I
00:22:40Just thank you for standing up for me tonight
00:22:47I don't think it really helped our cause. I
00:22:51Think your dad hates me
00:22:54But my mom loves you and so it cancels out
00:22:58You were really good, I'm sure they'll buy it
00:23:05How are you so good at this good what I'm pretending to be in love
00:23:15Well
00:23:18My mom and I used to watch rom-coms it was kind of our thing I
00:23:25Remember
00:23:27She would always tell me
00:23:29Don't kid yourself
00:23:31Real guys will always let you down but rom-com guys are forever
00:23:39Anyway, I guess what I meant was I
00:23:43May not be good at real love, but I'm great at rom-coms
00:23:51Plus I mean some of that is true and you are always saving me from traffic
00:23:58Grace
00:24:02You must really miss your mom
00:24:06So, sorry
00:24:12Yeah
00:24:15It's hard to lose the one person in the world who makes it all make sense
00:24:22I
00:24:27Trust me I get it
00:24:31You lost someone
00:24:34Having everything about you
00:24:39Not everything
00:24:43Do you want to talk about it
00:24:53I don't know if I can it's okay. You can tell me
00:25:14Maybe maybe some other time. Oh
00:25:20So
00:25:22If this were a rom-com
00:25:25How would it go
00:25:29It's very funny no, I'm actually being serious
00:25:38Okay
00:25:41Well
00:25:43Since you're my boss
00:25:46you'd
00:25:47obviously have to be a
00:25:49workaholic and
00:25:51I'm an
00:25:53Impressionable underpaid assistant who just moved to the city. I'm not seeing the fiction there
00:26:00So
00:26:02You force me to be your girlfriend to trick your parents and I hate every second of it
00:26:09You know being I'm a virgin who's never had a boyfriend and all a virgin
00:26:14in the story

00:26:19But then
00:26:22Helping you trick your parents
00:26:25lets me
00:26:27see you on a deeper level and
00:26:30My carefree persona helps you see the world in color for the first time and then
00:26:42Then one night we're on the sofa
00:26:47Planning the next steps in our relationship
00:26:51Then I lean in and you lean in and and then
00:27:17I
00:27:25So
00:27:27Something like that
00:27:29Huh? I
00:27:30Mean if we're gonna convince my parents we'll have to kiss in front of them. So
00:27:35Something like that would work, right? Oh
00:27:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
00:27:42That's fine
00:27:44Good. Yeah
00:27:46Well, we should probably turn it sure

00:28:29Come on this this bed is pretty big
00:28:36Plus you need to be well rested to keep up the ruse, right?

00:30:55So, what do you know about this grace
00:31:01What do you mean
00:31:02I've seen her type before

00:43:18After this weekend, we'll go our separate ways and back to reality
00:43:24Speaking of I drafted a list of replacement assistants should be in your email
00:43:32Now if you'll excuse me
00:43:35grace
00:43:37Grace
00:44:07You
00:44:19I'm sure he's not hiding anything
00:44:22Maybe she's just an old friend or something, but it's not just that
00:44:27The other day we were playing this
00:44:29Couples game and he didn't know anything about me
00:44:33I've made his life perfect for years and he couldn't even bother to learn my favorite band. I
00:44:39Know it's hard, but clearly he cares about you. I mean he brought you home to meet his parents
00:44:45I'm sure he didn't do that with all the other girls. I
00:44:51Need to tell you something
00:45:02I
00:45:21Thought maybe he was starting to fall for me for real I
00:45:26Mean we kissed a couple of times and the other morning. I woke up and he was holding me
00:45:32I
00:45:33Guess I was just diluting myself like Naomi and all the others. I
00:45:39Said I was done with this I
00:45:42quit for God's sakes
00:45:44But then he roped me in and like a fucking idiot. I let him pull me right back in
00:45:50It's like I haven't learned anything grace. You're not an idiot. You're just a romantic
00:45:56and that's different I
00:46:00Don't know
00:46:02Maybe my mother was right
00:46:05Real men always let you down
00:46:09I'm not gonna get my hopes up. I just have to get to the weekend and then I can put Brennan Wolfe behind me
00:46:16Cheers
00:46:33I

00:48:04But I just wanted to let you know how happy I am that you and grace have found each other

00:48:19It's okay. You deserve to feel love again, and I know now might not be the right time. I
00:48:27Wanted to give you this
00:48:30You
00:48:37Your father proposed to me with it and when the time comes maybe you could propose to grace with it
00:48:50It just it feels so much like last time
00:48:55Mama what if that means that it's all gonna fall apart again?
00:48:59It's okay, sweetie. That feeling is fear and all that means is that it's real
00:49:21You said you needed to see me
00:49:25Now who needs reminding that I quit
00:49:28And look there's something I want to tell you I

01:00:46What's wrong with me
01:00:49Grace just just calm down. Okay, you're gonna hurt yourself. You you were hit by a car
01:00:55I
01:00:57Got a spinal injury
01:00:59And well, you're suffering from paralysis
01:01:03But but it's only temporary the doctor said that you'll walk again. You just
01:01:07Your body needs time to recover. I
01:01:10Should be in a hospital
01:01:13Grace, we have the very best doctors on retainer
01:01:17Mom, can grace and I just have a moment, please?
01:01:20Of course
01:01:21But if you need anything just call I'll be in the next room
01:01:34Grace when I saw you outside on the street, I was so fucking scared. I thought I'd lost you lost your little prop you mean
01:01:44How could you say that do you do you really think I don't care about you
01:01:48Brennan
01:01:49If your father wasn't in the picture, would you have even asked me out?
01:01:57Yeah, I didn't think so
01:02:01You can keep trying to trick yourself into thinking that you care about me but this whole time you were just playing pretend
01:02:08I'll stay here till I can walk again, but we're over
01:02:20Okay, whatever you want
01:02:42That's not true Angela, I
01:02:45Love you
01:02:47Love isn't a single tender thought about me in the middle of the night Xavier. I know that I
01:03:00Thought you might be hungry I
01:03:04Made lasagna Bell told me it was your favorite. Can I at least leave it by your bed?
01:03:17Oh
01:03:27Fuck
01:03:32All right, you're okay, but it's just cramping because you've been in the bed so long it just needs to be massaged
01:03:41Just just fucking do it, okay
01:03:48Yeah, breathe into it
01:03:54Steady
01:03:58Slow it down
01:04:11You can stop
01:04:15Thank you
01:04:18Of course
01:04:23Good at that
01:04:27Yeah
01:04:29Quite a bit of experience
01:04:34You know, I think it's time I told you about Dulce
01:04:39You
01:04:47She was my fiance you were engaged
01:04:53Yeah
01:04:56We were young
01:04:59She was a free spirit in love with the world and I admired that
01:05:05Honestly, I wanted to be just like her
01:05:09I
01:05:10Asked her to marry me after two weeks
01:05:18A month after the engagement we got the diagnosis
01:05:26And six months later I buried her
01:05:31We never got to walk down the aisle
01:05:35So sorry Brennan
01:05:39So I just I pushed down my emotions and
01:05:42drowned myself in
01:05:44Girlfriends and one-night stands, but nothing
01:05:48worked
01:05:50And I thought if I fell in love again that something terrible would happen and I was right
01:06:00Are you saying are you saying you love me?
01:06:08How could I not love you
01:06:17Look I I know I don't deserve your forgiveness for your love
01:06:24But please let me take care of you like you've taken care of me for so long
01:06:33Just until you recover
01:06:36Then you can go
01:06:39You
01:06:45Fuck well that hurts. That's good. Dr. Hurt says that's a good sign. It means you're getting your feeling back
01:07:04Hey, you know what you're gonna tell him I
01:07:06Think he means what he said, but it took him forever to be honest and he used me for so long. I
01:07:16Don't know
01:07:17Maybe my mom was right
01:07:20Men aren't like in the rom-coms, of course, they're not girl. Those guys are made up
01:07:27That's like a dude getting mad at you for not being like the girls in the pronouns
01:07:31It's not the same
01:07:34You know, he admitted he was wrong and now he's trying to make it better in my book that's worth a shot
01:07:41All right, let's do the other side
01:07:56Thank you, of course
01:08:04You
01:08:07Doc told me you're doing really well
01:08:10Said you stood up today
01:08:12Yeah for a whole two seconds
01:08:16still
01:08:18That's amazing
01:08:21Grace I'm I'm so proud of you
01:08:28Because that means that you'll be leaving soon
01:08:31Yeah, I guess
01:08:38Well, uh before you go to bed when I watch a rom-com heard there's a new one on Netflix
01:08:47No, I'm okay, I'm feeling a bit tired
01:08:51You wanna read a book I actually went ahead and picked you up a copy of Pride and Prejudice just in case
01:08:58And or I could read it to you if you want
01:09:04Actually already started I'm not sure I understand it cuz Darcy's kind of a dick
01:09:14He gets better
01:09:20No, I'm okay
01:09:22I
01:09:26Listen to some music before you go to bed
01:09:46Never heard of those a blood orange grove guys
01:09:49I
01:09:51Hear they're pretty good
01:10:06Thank you
01:10:08You
01:10:18Grace
01:10:19I'm so sorry, but my family is here. I swear. I had no idea that we're coming, but I'll tell them it's okay
01:10:27No, you're still recovering
01:10:30And
01:10:31I still haven't told them that we're not together anymore
01:10:34But I was just gonna tell them we broke up
01:10:38As soon as you left
01:10:40Brennan it's okay. I
01:10:43Can do this?
01:10:47Well, we wanted to come earlier, but somebody made us wait until you were better
01:10:56Well, I'm really glad that you're all here Oh
01:11:03Um Grace and
01:11:06And Brennan
01:11:09I'd like to apologize for the way I've behaved. I
01:11:12thought it was acting in the best interest to my son and I see now that I was wrong, so
01:11:21I would like to give this Union my full blessing
01:11:26No
01:11:28Stop I
01:11:30mom dad, there's
01:11:33There's something I need to tell you
01:11:36I
01:11:37Didn't what are you doing?
01:11:42Grace isn't my fiance
01:11:50She was my assistant
01:11:54She
01:11:55Tried to quit, but I wouldn't let her
01:11:58in fact, I
01:12:00blackmailed her into
01:12:02Pretending to be my girlfriend so that you would keep my division open
01:12:11Grace is
01:12:14Beautiful lovely
01:12:17kind and sweet
01:12:22And I used her
01:12:24to further my own goals
01:12:27Even now she's still helping me when I almost got her killed
01:12:33Because that's just who she is I
01:12:38Won't let you continue lying for me anymore
01:12:45Everything you said is true. I'm an unserious playboy
01:12:50But this playboy wants to do better
01:12:53So if you have to close my division I I guess I understand
01:12:57I
01:13:09Didn't even have to beat you you did it for me
01:13:14That's enough Kate go wait in the car
01:13:27I
01:13:34Am so proud of you I
01:13:36Mean it
01:13:38Was so brave of you to tell the truth
01:13:41But I could tell you were keeping something from us
01:13:45But I could also see that you and Grace really care for each other and that wasn't a lie
01:13:53Even when you thought it was
01:13:58Now I'll let you to talk this through
01:14:10Brennan
01:14:13Grace I
01:14:15understand if you just want to go home now I
01:14:18can send your stuff to your apartment, but
01:14:21Don't worry. I won't be coming with it
01:14:24Brennan
01:14:27I'm not leaving
01:14:30You're not
01:14:35My whole life I
01:14:37Thought if a guy couldn't measure up to the Nora Ephron or Nancy Meyers heroes. He wasn't worth it
01:14:45But maybe it's good that you're not this perfect guy
01:14:50Because I'm not a porn star
01:14:53What?
01:14:57It sounded better when Bell said it I
01:15:03Guess
01:15:05maybe fantasies are
01:15:07fantasies for a reason and
01:15:10After all of this I realized I don't want a fairy tale. I
01:15:17Want real I want you I want to give us a chance
01:15:27And one day a
01:15:32Long long time into the future
01:15:36Maybe you can give this back to me
01:15:41Not today clear
01:15:57Crystal I
01:16:08Can't believe you told your parents everything Sam is definitely gonna shut down your division now
01:16:17What are you gonna do I
01:16:22Think I have an idea
01:16:27You
