00:00:01If this were a rom-com, how would it go?
00:00:06Well, since you're my boss, you'd obviously have to be a workaholic.
00:00:18And I'm an impressionable, underpaid assistant who just moved to the city.
00:00:25You force me to be your girlfriend to trick your parents.
00:00:32My father doesn't think that I'm serious enough to keep the division.
00:00:36And I hate every second of it.
00:00:39Are you enjoying the view?
00:00:42But then, helping you trick your parents lets me see you on a deeper level.
00:00:48And then what?
00:01:25Don't get distracted now, mister.
00:01:28Stop talking.
00:01:31You had better be yawning from the back of an Uber, mister.
00:01:34What? Oh, fuck. Kate's engaged to a party. You were supposed to remind me.
00:01:39I left 14 sticky notes on your desk. God damn it, you cannot be late to this.
00:01:44Who's that big boy?
00:01:46Please tell me this woman doesn't think she's got a shot with you.
00:01:49Um, she's from Portugal. She knows this is just a fling.
00:01:52You're cheating on me with someone from Portugal?
00:01:55On second thought, Grace, you're going to have to handle this for me.
00:01:59I'm calling the car. Shower off your bad decisions and get in.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:08This was fun, Nadia. But it's time for you to go. You can see yourself out, can't you?
00:02:22Hello?
00:02:34You know, you really should start watching where you're going.
00:02:37One of these days you're going to end up smeared across the hood of some Mercedes.
00:02:40So nice to see you too.
00:02:46How do I look?
00:02:47Perfect. I mean, fine. Good. You look good.
00:02:56I'm just glad you made it.
00:02:58Shall we?
00:03:00Mm-hmm.
00:03:02You know I've only ever met your family on the phone?
00:03:05Yeah, you'll see why.
00:03:26Do you know how much shit my father's going to give me now that I'm the only single wolf?
00:03:31Brennan!
00:03:33Oh, God. Deal with that, please.
00:03:38Naomi, isn't it? Look, it's nothing personal, but Brennan—
00:03:43You. You're the little assistant that's been keeping us apart.
00:03:47Because what? You think you have a shot with him? Whore?
00:03:52No, our relationship is strictly professional.
00:03:55It's pathetic. Give it up, sweetheart. He's not interested. You're just the girl who gives him his coffee.
00:04:13Well, look who it is! Big bro?
00:04:18Kate. Congratulations on all of this.
00:04:23It's great. I really do feel blessed.
00:04:28Marrying the love of my life soon. My division is killing it. Have you seen our projections?
00:04:35Yeah.
00:04:37You know, I could give you some pointers.
00:04:40I saw your numbers. 2% growth is not going to cut it. Not when Dad is in slashing mode.
00:04:49Oh, you 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.
00:05:03Maybe Mickey D's is hiring. You do look good in yellow.
00:05:12Now, if you don't mind, I have well-wishers to greet.
00:05:19Excuse me.
00:05:30Office. Now.
00:05:32But we just got here.
00:05:33Now.
00:05:40So, the whole division's just gone?
00:05:44No. Because you're going to get an action plan on my desk by tomorrow.
00:05:49Tomorrow is Saturday.
00:05:52Mr. Wolf. I'm Howard Bernstein from the Bernstein Corporation.
00:05:57Now, I know we didn't have a meeting set up, but I have a potential business opportunity for you.
00:06:03Mr. Wolf, I really think we should discuss this.
00:06:13Apologize to my assistant, or the next meeting you take will be from a hospital bed.
00:06:18Oh, jeez. Okay. All right. God, okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:06:27Now, you. Action plan. 6 p.m. tomorrow, and you get the fuck out of here and leave my assistant alone.
00:06:35You, sir, are a brute.
00:06:46Again?
00:06:48What is it?
00:06:49Miss Reynolds, I'm calling you as your mother's next of kin.
00:06:52Unfortunately, this call is to provide you with a time of death.
00:06:55Sorry. Excuse me? Time of death?
00:06:59Miss Reynolds, your mother is dead.
00:07:11Grace, I need you to get a hold of Miller at the, uh...
00:07:18What is it?
00:07:21My mother's dead.
00:07:25Grace, are you serious?
00:07:29Okay. Sorry, you said that we need Miller? You need me to call Jordan Miller?
00:07:35Grace, don't worry about that. You need to go.
00:07:38No, no, I can't. No, I can't. We've got...
00:07:40I'm telling you as your boss. You need to go.
00:07:55I'm sorry.
00:08:08Why are you going back to work?
00:08:10Didn't Brendan give you, like, a whole month off?
00:08:14Yeah, but he needs me.
00:08:19Look, I know you're desperately in love with this man, but he...
00:08:22I am not.
00:08:29Okay, fine. I love him.
00:08:34Are you happy?
00:08:37I've loved him for five fucking years, and he does not give a shit about me.
00:08:43I give him all of my waking hours. I get rid of his hookups.
00:08:47I even check the security cameras on my phone every day because he doesn't trust the alarm company.
00:08:54You don't want him taking advantage of you? Then don't let him.
00:08:57You deserve love, not dirty work.
00:09:05Two percent growth in this economy is impressive. Above industry standard.
00:09:10Kate's division saw eight percent last month alone.
00:09:13Well, why don't we ask the IRS about Kate's growth?
00:09:16One of these days, that behavior's going to come back to bite her in the ass.
00:09:19It's not just business. Kate's a serious person. She's settling down.
00:09:24And you're still in the tabloids. With floozies.
00:09:28Ever since Dulcey...
00:09:30This has nothing to do with my personal life. I am more than capable of this.
00:09:35You want your division? Show me you're serious.
00:09:38Otherwise, I'll be making my recommendation to the board.
00:09:40I've got to go.
00:09:52Grace, what are you doing here? I thought you were still on bereavement.
00:09:59What is this?
00:10:01This is me.
00:10:04Quitting.
00:10:10Quitting?
00:10:16No. Absolutely not.
00:10:19Excuse me?
00:10:21Look, if you still need more time to grieve...
00:10:24This is not about my mother.
00:10:27Brennan, I need a fresh start.
00:10:31I cannot keep going around in circles with you.
00:10:34These last five years, I have been torturing myself trying to get you to see that...
00:10:41It 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?
00:11:07Okay. Fine.
00:11:10Okay.
00:11:15Hi. I need to speak with one of your attorneys, please.
00:11:19No. Any one of them is fine.
00:11:24What the fuck? What are you doing?
00:11:27Look.
00:11:29I'll allow you to quit under one condition.
00:11:33You become my girlfriend.
00:11:36Excuse me?
00:11:38Look. My father doesn't think that I'm serious enough to keep the division.
00:11:42He and my mom are coming this weekend to stay with me for Kate's wedding and...
00:11:46I just... I need to prove to him that I'm done fucking around.
00:11:50Are you?
00:11:53Right. I didn't think so.
00:11:56So ask Naomi. Or Miss Portugal. Anyone.
00:12:00There's a line of girls a mile long who'd be happy to help you.
00:12:03But Grace!
00:12:05You're the only one that I trust.
00:12:10Look. If you do this for me,
00:12:13avoid your contract.
00:12:15And then you can go and do whatever it is that you want.
00:12:18With a glowing recommendation from myself.
00:12:21I can't do this anymore, Brennan.
00:12:24I can't keep doing your dirty work.
00:12:27I deserve better.
00:12:29I deserve to...
00:12:31Grace!
00:12:34I need you.
00:12:42It's just for the weekend.
00:12:44Right?
00:12:46Just for your parents.
00:12:50Fine.
00:12:52Stay for the weekend.
00:12:54And then I'm gone.
00:12:56What the hell?
00:12:59What was that?
00:13:01Practice.
00:13:17Brennan?
00:13:21What?
00:13:22Brennan?
00:13:25Okay.
00:13:27You can do this.
00:13:29You just have to get through this weekend,
00:13:31and then you can forget about Brennan Wolfe for good.
00:13:36Hey, babe.
00:13:45Settling in?
00:13:47Hmm?
00:13:50Feel free to use any open space.
00:13:53Just don't go to my side or get into any of my stuff.
00:13:57You don't seem to use your closet much.
00:14:02Are you enjoying the view?
00:14:10Wait.
00:14:17Here.
00:14:19Take this.
00:14:21What is this?
00:14:23Well, your wardrobe is...
00:14:25passable as my assistant,
00:14:28but my girlfriend would never wear this.
00:14:32First thing in the morning, go and get yourself a new wardrobe.
00:14:35A hundred thousand max.
00:14:37A hundred thousand?
00:14:40No, I can't do that.
00:14:42Just think of it as a bonus.
00:14:47Fine.
00:14:49It's getting late.
00:14:51I think I'm going to turn in.
00:14:54Do you mind?
00:14:56Most...
00:14:59long-term couples
00:15:02share a bedroom.
00:15:11Absolutely not.
00:15:13Look, my parents get in tomorrow.
00:15:16I can look real, at least.
00:15:19Okay, then tomorrow you're welcome to the...
00:15:23But I'll be downstairs.
00:15:27How about a rom-com?
00:15:38I wanted you, then.
00:15:40I've been waiting for.
00:15:47I love you.
00:15:55Well, I think that's my cue.
00:15:58Good night, Brennan.
00:16:00I think I'm falling in love with...
00:16:02No, you don't have to say anything, I just...
00:16:08What are you doing here?
00:16:16I...
00:16:27Thank...
00:16:30Goodness!
00:16:32This must be Grace!
00:16:35Brennan!
00:16:37Still, you might have mentioned her.
00:16:39I still can't believe you finally tamed my brother.
00:16:44How'd you do it?
00:16:48I was in Soho.
00:16:51Don't tell me you met in a bar.
00:16:55No, of course we didn't meet at a bar.
00:16:59Do you want to tell them, baby, or should I?
00:17:03You tell it.
00:17:05I don't want to.
00:17:07Um, you tell it, sweetheart.
00:17:10I'll tell.
00:17:12I used to work for Cross & Co.
00:17:15I know, I know, you're biggest rivals.
00:17:18Brennan and I hated each other.
00:17:21Always stealing clients and competing.
00:17:24But I always thought he was... cute.
00:17:28One day, we were pitching the same client.
00:17:31We were coming out of the building when I took a step out into the road without looking.
00:17:34I know, I know, it's a terrible habit that I have.
00:17:38A car came barreling down the road at me, and before I knew it, I felt a pair of strong arms pull me back.
00:17:44And when I opened my eyes, I found myself staring up at your son.
00:17:49How could I hate him after that?
00:17:52And as they say, the rest is history.
00:17:56And, uh, I've been saving her from traffic ever since.
00:18:00Wow.
00:18:02Oh, my gosh.
00:18:04That sounds like something straight out of a movie.
00:18:08Doesn't it, honey?
00:18:10Hm. Almost too good to be true.
00:18:13I tell you to get serious, and then you pick some random girl up off the street and tell her,
00:18:19I tell you to get serious, and then you pick some random girl up off the street and suddenly you're... you're in love?
00:18:28Samuel.
00:18:30You've always been this way. Always taking the easy way out.
00:18:34Content to settle in the middle, coasting along on your name and your money.
00:18:39You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:18:43Brennan cares more about his company than anyone I've ever met.
00:18:46He's dedicated and conscientious, and he's...
00:18:53Sam.
00:18:58Dinner and a show. Lucky me.
00:19:02Thanks for the fun night.
00:19:17Brennan, I...
00:19:18I have some contracts to go over. Excuse me.
00:19:36Oh, Mrs. Wolfe. I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I was completely out of line, and I want to apologize.
00:19:44Grace, I love my husband, but he's always been too hard on Brennan.
00:19:50Thank you so much for defending him.
00:19:55I can tell. You really do care for him.
00:20:00I do.
00:20:01I do.
00:20:13Nightcap?
00:20:18I thought you were mad at me.
00:20:20No, I...
00:20:25I just thank you for standing up for me tonight.
00:20:32I don't think it really helped our cause.
00:20:36I think your dad hates me.
00:20:39But my mom loves you, and so it cancels out.
00:20:45You were really good. I'm sure they'll buy it.
00:20:51How are you so good at this?
00:20:54At what?
00:20:56At pretending to be in love.
00:21:02Well...
00:21:05My mom and I used to watch rom-coms. It was kind of our thing.
00:21:11I remember. She would always tell me,
00:21:15Don't kid yourself. Real guys will always let you down, but rom-com guys are forever.
00:21:24Anyway, I guess what I meant was...
00:21:28I may not be good at real love, but I'm great at rom-coms.
00:21:36Plus, I mean, some of that is true, and you are always saving me from traffic.
00:21:45Grace, you must really miss your mom.
00:21:51I'm so sorry.
00:21:58Yeah.
00:22:01It's hard.
00:22:03To lose the one person in the world who makes it all make sense.
00:22:11Yeah.
00:22:13Trust me. I get it.
00:22:17You lost someone?
00:22:19I thought I knew everything about you.
00:22:24Not everything.
00:22:28Do you want to talk about it?
00:22:39I don't know if I can. It's...
00:22:44It's okay. You can tell me.
00:22:58Maybe some other time.
00:23:04So, if this were a rom-com, how would it go?
00:23:14It's very funny.
00:23:16No, I'm actually being serious.
00:23:23Okay.
00:23:24Okay?
00:23:27Well, since you're my boss, you'd obviously have to be a workaholic.
00:23:36And I'm an impressionable underpaid assistant who just moved to the city.
00:23:42I'm not seeing the fiction there.
00:23:45So, you force me to be your girlfriend to trick your parents.
00:23:51And I hate every second of it.
00:23:55You know, being I'm a virgin who's never had a boyfriend and all.
00:23:58A virgin?
00:24:00In the story, mister.
00:24:05But then, helping you trick your parents lets me see you on a deeper level.
00:24:15And my carefree persona helps you see the world in color for the first time.
00:24:22And then what?
00:24:28Then, one night we're on the sofa, planning the next steps in our relationship.
00:24:35Then, I lean in, and you lean in, and then...
00:25:06So, something like that?
00:25:10Huh?
00:25:12I mean, if we're going to convince my parents, we'll have to kiss in front of them.
00:25:15So, something like that would work, right?
00:25:19Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's... that's fine.
00:25:25Good, yeah.
00:25:26Well, we should probably turn in.
00:25:29Sure.
00:25:56Oh.
00:26:06You are not going to be able to sleep like that.
00:26:09I'll be fine.
00:26:15Come on, this... this bed is pretty big.
00:26:22Plus, you need to be well-rested to keep up the ruse, right?
00:26:27Just take the other side of the bed.
00:26:31Okay.
00:26:49Good night.
00:26:51Good night.
00:26:56Good night.
00:27:26Christ.
00:27:56Good night.
00:28:14Morning.
00:28:17Brennan.
00:28:20We need to talk.
00:28:23I owe you an apology, son.
00:28:26It, uh, pains me greatly to see that you're not like Kate, you know?
00:28:32Hmm. Great apology so far.
00:28:35But you're still my son, and I care about you deeply.
00:28:41So, what do you know about this Grace?
00:28:46What do you mean?
00:28:48I've seen her type before.
00:28:50They appear from the woodwork and attach themselves to great families.
00:28:56They're like leeches.
00:28:58I do not want to see my company fall into the hands of some gold digger.
00:29:07How dare you talk about Grace like that?
00:29:10You have no idea what she's done for this company.
00:29:13For me. You have no idea what she's done for me.
00:29:16I couldn't do this without her.
00:29:18Without who?
00:29:20Without you.
00:29:24I'll be going.
00:29:26But think about what I said.
00:29:37What was that all about?
00:29:39We have to step up our game.
00:29:41Look, my father's still suspicious of you.
00:29:44What the fuck are we going to do? I thought this was going to work.
00:29:47Hey. It's okay.
00:29:50We'll figure this out.
00:29:52You said you think your mom likes me, right?
00:29:54Maybe we can convince your mom to talk to him and he'll come around.
00:30:00You know, that's not a bad idea.
00:30:14What is wrong with this?
00:30:20Cinnamon.
00:30:29You'd like it with cinnamon.
00:30:41So, about last night.
00:30:44Okay.
00:30:49Well, aren't you two just the cutest?
00:30:54Mom. I didn't see you come in.
00:30:57Sorry to interrupt you two lovebirds, but I was just on my way to pick out the flowers for the reception.
00:31:03Poor Kate. She's just so busy with her work that she doesn't have any time to do wedding prep.
00:31:09So, would you like to come with me?
00:31:12Oh, she'd love to.
00:31:14Oh, I don't want to intrude.
00:31:16You too, mister.
00:31:18Mom, but I have to work.
00:31:20Oh, please. The last thing this family needs is another workaholic. Shall we?
00:31:29Oh, hey. I love these flowers. I think you can't be so excited about them.
00:31:34I know. I'm really excited.
00:31:36Thanks for taking me along.
00:31:38Grace!
00:31:44It's time.
00:31:45Wow.
00:32:08Mom.
00:32:11Do you think you could maybe talk to Dad for us?
00:32:15You know, get him to ease up on Grace a bit.
00:32:20Of course, darling.
00:32:22Grace is an absolute angel, and he needs to stop harping on her.
00:32:28Look at my son.
00:32:31Oh, protect him.
00:32:33I love it.
00:32:37What about these?
00:32:42Oh, come on.
00:32:44Yellow is bright and fun.
00:32:50A rose for my rose.
00:32:54Yellow roses symbolize friendship.
00:32:57White roses, on the other hand, symbolize purity and loyalty.
00:33:02Brennan!
00:33:05What a coincidence.
00:33:08Jackie, why don't we go check out the lilies?
00:33:11Yeah, let's go.
00:33:13Okay.
00:33:19I need to talk to you.
00:33:21What are you doing here?
00:33:23Look, I miss you, silly, and I know you miss me.
00:33:27Look, didn't Grace already tell you? Look, we're not a thing.
00:33:31You mean your bitch-ass assistant? You let her speak for you?
00:33:36Keep your voice down.
00:33:38Why are you defending her?
00:33:43Are you...
00:33:45Are you interested in her?
00:33:47No, that would be completely unprofessional.
00:33:52You know what? No, you need to leave. Now!
00:33:54Wow.
00:34:11Think happy and rich. Happy and rich. Beautiful.
00:34:15Alright, one more. Big smiles. Big, big smiles.
00:34:18Well, that'll never happen.
00:34:21What about a smirk?
00:34:22He can do a smirk.
00:34:29Alright.
00:34:31And how about a solo picture of a brother and girlfriend?
00:34:47You two are dating?
00:34:49Just take the picture.
00:34:51Come on, Brendan. Give her a kiss.
00:35:02Seriously?
00:35:04A real kiss.
00:35:19Real enough?
00:35:39Real enough?
00:35:50Brendan, what the hell was that?
00:35:53Look, Grace, we've already talked about this. We have to make this look real.
00:35:57I mean, if I hadn't kissed you, it wouldn't...
00:35:59No, I mean you running away from me like I bit you.
00:36:02Come on, you said you were going to start pulling your weight.
00:36:04You're going to blow this whole thing.
00:36:07Blow what whole thing?
00:36:09Oh, nothing. Just the photo shoot.
00:36:13Brendan, you've got a little carried away.
00:36:14What's that?
00:36:16Family tradition.
00:36:18No. Kate.
00:36:21Consider it an early wedding present to me.
00:36:24Me and Alec versus you guys.
00:36:27Come on.
00:36:29We never got to play with Dulce.
00:36:32Who's Dulce?
00:36:35You haven't told her?
00:36:37Look, that's not what I meant.
00:36:39I'm sorry.
00:36:41You haven't told her?
00:36:43Look, that's none of your business, Kate.
00:36:48Fine.
00:36:50Game on.
00:36:54Alright, it's easy.
00:36:56Hers means you have to answer questions about Brendan.
00:36:59His means he has to answer questions about you.
00:37:02Each correct answer gets a point.
00:37:04Whoever gets the most points wins.
00:37:06Are you ready to lose?
00:37:11How bad can it be?
00:37:13It's not like we're strangers.
00:37:15Let's start with a question for the boys.
00:37:17Alright, first question.
00:37:19What is your partner's go-to lunch?
00:37:34Okay.
00:37:36And three, two, one, flip.
00:37:41Oh, come on.
00:37:43The amount of times I picked that sandwich up for you at work.
00:37:47When I was surprising you.
00:37:50Great.
00:37:52Everybody gets a point.
00:37:54Grace, you pull.
00:37:56Another boys question.
00:38:03When did your partner lose their virginity?
00:38:11Three, two, one, flip.
00:38:17Okay, this is scary.
00:38:19You know me too well.
00:38:21That's the idea, babe.
00:38:29Alec, baby, it's you.
00:38:31Now it's about the girlies.
00:38:34What's your partner's favorite band?
00:38:37I don't know.
00:38:38What's your partner's favorite band?
00:38:51Three, two, one, flip.
00:38:57Katy Perry?
00:38:59What the hell is Blood Orange Grove?
00:39:01Brenton, you're up.
00:39:32Alright.
00:39:34Last question.
00:39:38What is your partner's favorite movie genre?
00:39:47And he gets a point.
00:39:49Finally.
00:39:51His first one.
00:39:53That makes 16 for the Lovebirds and 37 for me and Alec.
00:39:58Match made in heaven.
00:40:00Match made in heaven, baby.
00:40:14You remember you quit, right?
00:40:17You don't have to keep working for me.
00:40:20Yeah, well, who else is going to check the security cameras for you?
00:40:30Grace, I know you're upset.
00:40:34But it's just a stupid game, right?
00:40:37It doesn't matter.
00:40:40I think I'm going to turn in.
00:40:42Night.
00:40:44No, Grace.
00:40:46Look, I'm trying here.
00:40:49Okay?
00:40:51You can't just shut me out.
00:40:53Talk to me.
00:40:55There's nothing to say, Brenton.
00:40:56Look, you're right.
00:40:58None of this matters.
00:41:02After this weekend,
00:41:04we'll go our separate ways and back to reality.
00:41:09Speaking of, I drafted a list of replacement assistants.
00:41:13It should be in your email.
00:41:16Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:41:19Grace.
00:41:20If you'll excuse me.
00:41:22Grace.
00:41:51I'm sure he's not hiding anything.
00:41:54Maybe she's just an old friend or something.
00:41:57But it's not just that.
00:42:00The other day, we were playing this couples game,
00:42:03and he didn't know anything about me.
00:42:06I've made his life better.
00:42:08I've made his life worse.
00:42:10I've made his life worse.
00:42:12I've made his life worse.
00:42:14I've made his life worse.
00:42:16I've made his life worse.
00:42:18I've made his life worse.
00:42:20I've made his life perfect for years,
00:42:22and he couldn't even bother to learn my favorite band.
00:42:24I know it's hard,
00:42:26but clearly he cares about you.
00:42:28I mean, he brought you home to meet his parents.
00:42:31I'm sure he didn't do that with all the other girls.
00:42:37I need to tell you something.
00:42:50I need to tell you something.
00:43:07I thought maybe he was starting to fall for me.
00:43:10For real.
00:43:12I mean, we kissed a couple of times,
00:43:14and the other morning I woke up and he was holding me.
00:43:17I guess I was just deluding myself,
00:43:19like Naomi and all the others.
00:43:23I said I was done with this.
00:43:25I quit, for God's sakes.
00:43:28But then he roped me in,
00:43:30and like a fucking idiot,
00:43:32I let him pull me right back in.
00:43:34It's like I haven't learned anything.
00:43:36Grace, you're not an idiot.
00:43:38You're just a romantic.
00:43:40And that's different.
00:43:44I don't know.
00:43:45I don't know.
00:43:47Maybe my mother was right.
00:43:50Real men always let you down.
00:43:54I'm not going to get my hopes up.
00:43:56I just have to get through the weekend,
00:43:58and then I can put Brennan Wolfe behind me.
00:44:01Cheers.
00:44:15Cheers.
00:44:24Come in.
00:44:26Late night booty call in your office.
00:44:28Just like the good old days.
00:44:30Glad you finally saw the light, lover.
00:44:46Brennan?
00:44:49Baby?
00:44:51Where'd you go?
00:44:53I'm right here.
00:44:55No, this was, this was a mistake.
00:44:58You need, you need to go.
00:45:00No.
00:45:02The only mistake was you letting me go.
00:45:08No.
00:45:10You need to go.
00:45:12Get out.
00:45:13Fuck, Brennan.
00:45:15Go!
00:45:38Brenny?
00:45:40Is that you?
00:45:41Mom?
00:45:43What are you doing up?
00:45:45I have something for you.
00:45:47I wanted to give it to you earlier.
00:45:50But I just wanted to let you know how happy I am that you and Grace have found each other.
00:45:55It's just been so long since Dulcy, and I,
00:45:58I was beginning to worry you'd never find it again.
00:46:03Mom, I...
00:46:05It's okay.
00:46:07You deserve to feel love again.
00:46:08And I know now might not be the right time, but
00:46:11I wanted to give you this.
00:46:22Your father proposed to me with it.
00:46:25And when the time comes,
00:46:27maybe you could propose to Grace with it.
00:46:30It just, it feels so much like last time.
00:46:34Mama,
00:46:36what if that means that it's all going to fall apart again?
00:46:39It's okay, sweetie.
00:46:41That feeling is fear.
00:46:44And all that means is
00:46:46that it's real.
00:47:01You said you needed to see me?
00:47:05Now who needs reminding that I quit?
00:47:09Look, there's something I want to tell you.
00:47:12I, uh,
00:47:15I want you to be my girlfriend.
00:47:19It feels like we've covered this.
00:47:22No, I mean,
00:47:25like, for real.
00:47:27I mean,
00:47:29like, for real.
00:47:31This time.
00:47:33What did you just say?
00:47:36I've been an idiot.
00:47:38Right? I've taken you for granted and these last few days have made me realize
00:47:42I can't live without you.
00:47:44Rather, I don't want to.
00:47:49I want to make us official.
00:47:53What do you say?
00:47:59Wait.
00:48:08If I could live anywhere in the world,
00:48:11where would I live?
00:48:14What?
00:48:16Who's my hero?
00:48:19I...
00:48:20What's my mother's name?
00:48:22What's my favorite childhood memory?
00:48:25What are my parents' names?
00:48:26Why?
00:48:28What are my favorite hobbies?
00:48:31Where am I from?
00:48:34You say you can't live without me, Brennan.
00:48:37No, you can't live without what I do for you.
00:48:40Besides the fact that I make your life easier,
00:48:43you don't know anything about me.
00:48:51I know that you're kind.
00:48:57I know that you're not afraid to stand up for people you care about.
00:49:03That you love your mom.
00:49:06That you're an extremely hard worker.
00:49:11That you snore.
00:49:17I know that you make me feel safe
00:49:20and happy
00:49:22and good.
00:49:24And if you give me a chance, I'll learn the rest.
00:49:30Please.
00:49:32Grace.
00:49:54Grace.
00:50:06Here.
00:50:08It's never stopped you before.
00:50:21Hey there, beautiful.
00:50:24Hey.
00:50:35You look like you've been up all night.
00:50:38And whose fault is that?
00:50:40Mom.
00:50:48Get me?
00:50:50One.
00:50:52Two.
00:50:55Okay.
00:50:57Hold still there, Mr. Wolf.
00:51:01This will make you look awake.
00:51:03There.
00:51:12Wow.
00:51:16You are
00:51:17a miracle worker.
00:51:19What else is new?
00:51:35You know, when I get married,
00:51:37I'm not inviting any of these people.
00:51:40In fact, I'm not inviting anyone at all.
00:51:43Vegas elopement.
00:51:44Vegas elopement.
00:51:47Elvis impersonator.
00:51:49Reception at the casino.
00:51:51It works.
00:51:53It's very romantic.
00:51:56Yeah.
00:51:58What about you?
00:52:01I don't know.
00:52:03Oh, come on.
00:52:05Don't tell me you haven't thought about it.
00:52:07I mean, doesn't every single one of those rom-coms
00:52:09have some sort of cliche fairytale wedding?
00:52:12I guess I...
00:52:14I never imagined it because
00:52:16I've never been in love before.
00:52:19All the guys I've been with haven't...
00:52:22Something hasn't felt right.
00:52:25It's like
00:52:27I've been waiting for someone.
00:52:33What about you?
00:52:35What about me?
00:52:37Have you
00:52:39ever been in love?
00:52:42No.
00:52:44Excuse me.
00:52:46Do you mind if I borrow my son for a moment?
00:52:51Be my guest.
00:53:07Time to pay the piper, bro.
00:53:11What the fuck is this?
00:53:14Kate.
00:53:16The other night
00:53:18I went down to get a drink of water
00:53:21and that's when I heard
00:53:23your so-called girlfriend
00:53:25saying something very interesting to her little friend.
00:53:28She's not your girlfriend after all, is she?
00:53:31Look, Dad, I don't know what you...
00:53:33No more of your lies, son.
00:53:35And do not ask your mother to intervene.
00:53:37I knew this was wrong from the get-go.
00:53:39Now I have proof.
00:53:41I'll be meeting with the board on Monday morning
00:53:44and then you'll begin the process
00:53:46of transferring your division's assets over to...
00:53:49Wait!
00:53:51Look, I don't know what Kate heard
00:53:54or thinks she heard
00:53:56but what Grace and I have is real.
00:53:59I swear.
00:54:02I'll prove it.
00:54:11Excuse me.
00:54:29Excuse me, everyone.
00:54:31Excuse me, may I please just have a moment of your time?
00:54:35And will my lovely girlfriend,
00:54:38Grace Reynolds, please join me?
00:54:41Sure.
00:54:55Grace,
00:54:57I've known you for
00:54:59a very long time.
00:55:01Honestly, it feels like forever.
00:55:03And recently
00:55:05something's changed and I've realized
00:55:07just how deep my love for you runs.
00:55:08And now I'd like to formalize that love.
00:55:24My father gave my mother this ring 30 years ago
00:55:27and through all the hardships they've endured
00:55:30this ring has remained a symbol of their enduring love.
00:55:33Yesterday my mother gave it to me
00:55:35and today I'd like to give it to you.
00:55:39Grace Reynolds, will you
00:55:41do me the honors of making me the happiest man on earth
00:55:45and allow me to be your husband?
00:55:59Yes.
00:56:01I'll marry you.
00:56:05I love you.
00:56:30I need to talk to you.
00:56:32Grace, I know, I know, but my father and Kate,
00:56:35they were circling me and-
00:56:37You'll dissolve my contract today.
00:56:39I'll stay with you publicly
00:56:41until your father agrees to leave your division alone,
00:56:44but then I'm gone.
00:56:46And I never want to see you again.
00:56:49Why?
00:57:02Grace, this was a mistake.
00:57:04But I put a stop to it.
00:57:06I promise, nothing happened.
00:57:08Why should I believe you?
00:57:10I mean, it's on the tape.
00:57:12Watch it.
00:57:14Grace,
00:57:16you've been my assistant for
00:57:18five years.
00:57:20You know me.
00:57:22You know everything about me.
00:57:26Not everything.
00:57:28What's that supposed to mean?
00:57:29Who's Dulcy?
00:57:32This is
00:57:34personal.
00:57:36Well, you just asked me to marry you,
00:57:38so what's yours is mine, right, honey?
00:57:43Who is she?
00:57:48Nothing to say.
00:57:52Well, it doesn't matter
00:57:54because I'm done.
00:57:59Grace.
00:58:21Grace.
00:58:23Oh, thank God.
00:58:26What is this?
00:58:27Where am I?
00:58:32What's wrong with me?
00:58:35Grace, just calm down, okay?
00:58:37You're going to hurt yourself.
00:58:39You were hit by a car.
00:58:42What?
00:58:44You've got a spinal injury
00:58:46and you're suffering from paralysis.
00:58:49But it's only temporary.
00:58:51The doctor said that you'll walk again.
00:58:53Your body needs time to recover.
00:58:55I should be in a hospital.
00:58:58Grace, we have the very best doctors on retainer.
00:59:02Mom, can Grace and I just have a moment, please?
00:59:05Of course.
00:59:07But if you need anything, just call.
00:59:10I'll be in the next room.
00:59:20Grace, when I saw you
00:59:21outside on the street,
00:59:23I was so fucking scared I thought I'd lost you.
00:59:26Lost your little prop, you mean?
00:59:29How could you say that?
00:59:31Do you really think I don't care about you?
00:59:33Brennan,
00:59:35if your father wasn't in the picture,
00:59:37would you have even asked me out?
00:59:41I...
00:59:43Yeah.
00:59:45I didn't think so.
00:59:47You can keep trying to trick yourself
00:59:49into thinking that you care about me,
00:59:51but you're just playing pretend.
00:59:54I'll stay here until I can walk again,
00:59:56but we're over.
00:59:59Grace, I...
01:00:06Okay.
01:00:08Whatever you want.
01:00:22That's not true.
01:00:24Angela,
01:00:26I love you.
01:00:28Love isn't a single tender thought about me
01:00:31in the middle of the night, Xavier.
01:00:33I know that.
01:00:35Ahem.
01:00:40I, uh,
01:00:42thought you might be hungry.
01:00:46I made lasagna.
01:00:48It's really good.
01:00:49I made lasagna.
01:00:51Belle told me it was your favorite.
01:00:54Can I at least leave it by your bed?
01:00:59Okay.
01:01:12Fuck!
01:01:15Let me see it, let me see it.
01:01:16Let me see it, let me see it.
01:01:18All right, you're okay, but
01:01:20it's just cramping
01:01:22because you've been in the bed so long.
01:01:24It just needs to be massaged.
01:01:27Just...
01:01:29Just fucking do it.
01:01:31Okay.
01:01:33Breathe.
01:01:35Breathe into it.
01:01:37Right there.
01:01:39Breathe.
01:01:41Steady.
01:01:43Calm.
01:01:44Calm.
01:01:46Breathe.
01:01:57You can stop.
01:02:04Of course.
01:02:09You're good at that.
01:02:12Yeah.
01:02:14I've got quite a bit of experience.
01:02:20You know, I think it's time
01:02:23I told you about Dulce.
01:02:32She was my fiancée.
01:02:35You were engaged?
01:02:38Yeah.
01:02:41We were young
01:02:44and she was a free spirit
01:02:47in love with the world
01:02:49and I admired that.
01:02:51Honestly, I wanted to be just like her.
01:02:55I asked her to marry me after two weeks.
01:03:04A month after the engagement
01:03:07we got the diagnosis
01:03:08and six months later I buried her.
01:03:13We never got to walk down the aisle.
01:03:17I'm so sorry, Brennan.
01:03:21So I just, I pushed down my emotions
01:03:23and drowned myself
01:03:25and girlfriends
01:03:27and one night stands
01:03:29but nothing worked
01:03:31and I thought
01:03:33if I fell in love again
01:03:35that I'd be able to do it again.
01:03:36If I fell in love again
01:03:38that something terrible would happen
01:03:41and I was right.
01:03:46Are you saying
01:03:49are you saying you love me?
01:03:51Grace
01:03:54how could I not love you?
01:04:02Look, I know
01:04:04I don't deserve your forgiveness
01:04:07or your love
01:04:09but please
01:04:11let me take care of you
01:04:13like you've taken care of me for so long
01:04:18just until you recover
01:04:22then you can go.
01:04:30Fuck, Belle, that hurts.
01:04:32That's good.
01:04:34Dr. Hurt says that's a good sign.
01:04:36It means you're getting your feeling back.
01:04:49Hey, you know what you're going to tell him?
01:04:52I think he means what he said
01:04:54but
01:04:56it took him forever to be honest
01:04:58and he used me for so long.
01:05:01I don't know.
01:05:03Maybe my mom was right.
01:05:05Men aren't like in the rom-coms.
01:05:07Of course they're not.
01:05:09Girl, those guys are made up.
01:05:12That's like a dude getting mad at you
01:05:14for not being like the girls in the pronos.
01:05:16It's not the same.
01:05:19You know, he admitted he was wrong
01:05:21and now he's trying to make it better.
01:05:23In my book, that's worth a shot.
01:05:26All right, let's do the other side.
01:05:37Yeah.
01:05:39Of course.
01:05:48Doc told me you're doing really well.
01:05:51Said you stood up today.
01:05:53Yeah.
01:05:55For a whole two seconds.
01:05:57Still.
01:05:59That's amazing.
01:06:01I'm so proud of you.
01:06:03I guess that means that you'll be leaving soon.
01:06:07Yeah, I guess.
01:06:12Well,
01:06:14before you go to bed,
01:06:16want to watch a rom-com?
01:06:18Heard there's a new one on Netflix.
01:06:21Yeah.
01:06:23I'm going to bed.
01:06:25I'm going to bed.
01:06:27I'm going to bed.
01:06:29I'm going to bed.
01:06:31No, I'm okay.
01:06:33I'm feeling a bit tired.
01:06:36Want to read a book?
01:06:38I actually went ahead and picked you up a copy of
01:06:40Pride and Prejudice just in case.
01:06:43Or I could read it to you
01:06:45if you want.
01:06:48Actually, I already started.
01:06:51I'm not sure I understand it
01:06:53because Darcy's kind of a dick.
01:07:00He gets better.
01:07:04Got it.
01:07:06No, I'm okay.
01:07:12Want to listen to some music before you go to bed?
01:07:31Ever heard of those Blood Orange Grove guys?
01:07:36I hear they're pretty good.
01:08:01Grace,
01:08:03I'm so sorry, but my family's here.
01:08:06I swear I had no idea they were coming.
01:08:08But I'll tell them to leave me.
01:08:10It's okay.
01:08:12No, you're still recovering.
01:08:15And I still haven't told them
01:08:17that we're not together anymore.
01:08:19But I was just going to tell them
01:08:21we broke up as soon as you left.
01:08:24Brennan,
01:08:26it's okay.
01:08:28I can do this.
01:08:31Well,
01:08:33we wanted to come earlier,
01:08:35but somebody made us wait
01:08:37until you were better.
01:08:40Well,
01:08:42I'm really glad that you're all here.
01:08:47Oh, um,
01:08:49Grace
01:08:51and Brennan,
01:08:53I'd like to apologize
01:08:55for the way I've behaved.
01:08:57I thought it was acting in the best interest
01:08:58of my son,
01:09:00and, uh,
01:09:02I see now that I was wrong.
01:09:05So,
01:09:07I would like to give this union
01:09:09my full blessing.
01:09:11No.
01:09:13Stop. I...
01:09:15Mom,
01:09:17Dad, there's...
01:09:19there's something I need to tell you.
01:09:22Brennan, what are you doing?
01:09:26Grace
01:09:28isn't my fiancée.
01:09:35She was my assistant.
01:09:39She
01:09:41tried to quit, but I wouldn't let her.
01:09:43In fact,
01:09:45I blackmailed her into
01:09:47pretending to be my girlfriend
01:09:50so that you would keep my division open.
01:09:56Grace is
01:09:58a beautiful,
01:10:00lovely,
01:10:02kind and
01:10:04sweet
01:10:05woman,
01:10:07and I used her
01:10:09to further my own goals.
01:10:12Even now,
01:10:14she's still helping me
01:10:16when I almost got her killed
01:10:18because that's just
01:10:20who she is.
01:10:23I won't
01:10:25let you continue lying for me anymore.
01:10:29Everything you said is true.
01:10:31I'm an unserious playboy,
01:10:34but this playboy wants to do better.
01:10:38So if you have to close my division,
01:10:40I guess I understand.
01:10:45Sam,
01:10:47don't.
01:10:53I didn't even have to beat you.
01:10:55You did it for me.
01:10:56That's enough, Kate.
01:10:58Go wait in the car.
01:11:17I am so proud of you.
01:11:19I mean it.
01:11:21I was so brave of you to tell the truth.
01:11:24I'm sorry.
01:11:26But I could tell you were keeping something from us.
01:11:30But I could also see
01:11:32that you and Grace
01:11:34really care for each other,
01:11:36and that it wasn't a lie,
01:11:38even when you thought it was.
01:11:42Now,
01:11:44I'll let you two talk this through.
01:11:45I'll let you two talk this through.
01:11:55Brennan.
01:11:58Grace,
01:12:00I understand if you just want to go home now.
01:12:03I can send your stuff to your apartment,
01:12:05but
01:12:07don't worry, I won't be coming with it.
01:12:09Brennan,
01:12:13I'm not leaving
01:12:16You're not?
01:12:20My whole life,
01:12:22I thought if a guy couldn't measure up to the
01:12:25Nora Ephron or Nancy Meyers heroes,
01:12:28he wasn't worth it.
01:12:30But
01:12:32maybe it's good that you're not this perfect guy,
01:12:35because
01:12:37I'm not a porn star.
01:12:39What?
01:12:42It sounded better when Belle said it.
01:12:46Ugh.
01:12:48I guess
01:12:50maybe fantasies
01:12:52are fantasies for a reason.
01:12:55And after all of this, I realized
01:12:58I don't want a fairy tale.
01:13:02I want real.
01:13:04I want
01:13:06you.
01:13:08I want to give us a chance.
01:13:13And
01:13:15one day,
01:13:18a long, long time into the future,
01:13:21maybe
01:13:23you can give this back to me.
01:13:27Not today.
01:13:29Clear?
01:13:43Crystal.
01:13:45Crystal.
01:13:54I can't believe you told your parents everything.
01:13:58Sam is definitely going to shut down your division now.
01:14:03What are you going to do?
01:14:08I think I have an idea.
01:14:15What is it?
01:14:17I don't know.
01:14:19I don't know.
01:14:21I don't know.
01:14:23I don't know.
01:14:25I don't know.
01:14:27I don't know.
01:14:29I don't know.
01:14:31I don't know.
01:14:33I don't know.
01:14:35I don't know.
01:14:37I don't know.
01:14:39I don't know.
01:14:41I don't know.
01:14:43I don't know.
