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.

00:00:22There'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?

00:01:15Hello?

00:01:17Yeah, the duck.

00:01:21Hi.

00:01:23Hi.

00:01:25Hi.

00:01:30You ordered the special?

00:01:32Actually, I-

00:01:33Trust me.

00:01:35Who is that girl?

00:01:38Something about her.

00:01:39It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.

00:01:42Wow.

00:01:43That was presumptuous.

00:01:44Huh?

00:01:45The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?

00:01:47Don't tell me you're actually impressed by that little slut, Jack.

00:01:50It looks good.

00:01:51The food or the waitress?

00:02:02And what do you think you are doing?

00:02:04I'm making something from this 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.

00:02:14You are fired.

00:02:15Get out of here.

00:02:16What?

00:02:17You take this.

00:02:18You give up your act.

00:02:19You get out.

00:02:20No, please.

00:02:22Please, sir.

00:02:23It won't happen again.

00:02:24No more Mr. Nice Guy this time.

00:02:25You get out.

00:02:26You leave.

00:02:27Please.

00:02:28No.

00:02:29Now.

00:02:30I'm taking the trash out, I see.

00:02:31Yeah.

00:02:32The trash.

00:02:33Asshole.

00:02:34Shit.

00:02:47Oh God.

00:03:01Don't scream.

00:03:02Don't scream, babe.

00:03:03Or do you want to scream for me?

00:03:11Hey!

00:03:20Hey, wait!

00:03:33Hey!

00:03:43Not now, Warren.

00:03:46Jack, my man!

00:03:47Que paso?

00:03:48So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.

00:03:51When are you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?

00:03:53The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.

00:03:56Yeah.

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.

00:04:03And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.

00:04:05Are 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?

00:04:14Maybe next time.

00:04:18Thanks.

00:04:20Call me.

00:04:21I'll call you back.

00:04:22Jack, come on.

00:04:23Yeah, lock on me.

00:04:24Jack's never done that before.

00:04:26If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal,

00:04:29the Morrison deal's over.

00:04:31We're over.

00:04:33Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.

00:04:36I've got just the plan.

00:04:44Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.

00:04:55How am I going to find her again?

00:04:58I don't know.

00:05:04You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.

00:05:06Are you out of your mind?

00:05:08Vivian and I are done.

00:05:09Never again.

00:05:11She's just business now.

00:05:13Very well, sir.

00:05:15Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.

00:05:18I'll find another wife.

00:05:20I'm afraid not.

00:05:21But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.

00:05:25They'll be 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,

00:05:39you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.

00:05:43Especially your wife.

00:05:45Or I lose everything.

00:05:47Everything.

00:05:56Don't complain about things.

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.

00:06:12Really?

00:06:13Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.

00:06:17Creative differences.

00:06:19There are always creative differences with you.

00:06:23Lily!

00:06:25You've got to open up your own place.

00:06:27You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.

00:06:29So you've got to show the world what you've got.

00:06:32Besides, I have my share of money.

00:06:35But without yours, we're never going to be able to afford mom's operation.

00:06:40Yeah, it'll be all my fault.

00:06:43Lily!

00:06:46There is an opening at my office.

00:06:49Seriously?

00:06:51It's stable.

00:06:52Health insurance. 401K.

00:06:54I'd rather die.

00:06:56You'd rather be broke.

00:06:57No, I'd rather...

00:07:04How can you help mom when you can't even take care of yourself?

00:07:13Fine. Yeah, you're right.

00:07:15Let's do it.

00:07:23Oh.

00:07:42Hi.

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 is Megan.

00:07:52She works here.

00:07:54Last place of employment?

00:07:56Chez Francois.

00:07:58A restaurant?

00:07:59Yes, I'm a chef.

00:08:01My passion is cooking, so I...

00:08:03And does this look like a restaurant to you?

00:08:05No.

00:08:07No, of course not.

00:08:09And why do you think someone like you could work here?

00:08:14I just need a job.

00:08:17Sorry, I'm...

00:08:19Thanks. We'll let you know, okay?

00:08:23You can go now. Bye-bye.

00:08:33Screw this!

00:08:37Fuck.

00:08:39No.

00:08:48What are you looking at?

00:08:56I'm sorry, mom.

00:08:58I've tried everything and I've let you down.

00:09:00You?

00:09:04Me.

00:09:07You dropped something.

00:09:09How did you?

00:09:14What are you doing here?

00:09:16I have a proposition for you.

00:09:18Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.

00:09:23Well, hold on. Just hear me out.

00:09:25I heard you get fired.

00:09:27I know you don't have any money.

00:09:30Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.

00:09:32I'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 they need to see stability.

00:10:05So, 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.

00:10:25Okay, well, what's in it for me?

00:10:27Well, anything you want.

00:10:29Money.

00:10:30A place to live.

00:10:32Financial freedom to pursue your dreams.

00:10:35Just think of it as a business deal.

00:10:45Wow.

00:10:47Yeah, that's a really big diamond.

00:10:51It's just a very small part of the deal.

00:11:03You'll have your whole wing of the house.

00:11:05My own wing?

00:11:07Complete privacy.

00:11:09But you will have to attend events with me.

00:11:11Play the happy wife.

00:11:33This is, um...

00:11:37Specific.

00:11:39I like clarity.

00:11:48Wife agrees to perform...

00:11:54Very...

00:11:56Specific.

00:11:58Is there a problem?

00:12:01Jack, we need to talk.

00:12:05What's going on here?

00:12:16I'm saying yes.

00:12:18To what?

00:12:28To everything.

00:12:42Do you, Jack Thorne?

00:12:46This is insane.

00:12:48Shut up, boy.

00:12:50Take Lily Dunning to be your lawfully wedded wife.

00:12:53This is fucking nonsense.

00:12:55Shut the fuck up.

00:12:57I do.

00:13:00I now pronounce you husband and wife.

00:13:15I now pronounce you husband and wife.

00:13:46This marriage, it's...

00:13:49It's just a contract.

00:13:55Well...

00:13:57I think that the contract says that...

00:14:01This is my room.

00:14:10But...

00:14:12Good night, husband.

00:14:16Good night.

00:14:25And this is where Jack Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.

00:14:29And the room on the left is the kitchen.

00:14:32Hmm.

00:14:42And we have the west wing library and the east wing pool.

00:14:50How do you find anything in here?

00:14:52One of dots, madam.

00:14:54Hmm.

00:15:04And this room is the, um...

00:15:08Oh, dear.

00:15:11Would you excuse me?

00:15:13Of course.

00:15:14Apologies.

00:15:24What are you doing here?

00:15:55Shit.

00:16:11Oh, my gosh.

00:16:17Problem?

00:16:20This is...

00:16:22A lot.

00:16:24The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions.

00:16:27Including tonight's charity gala.

00:16:30I can't accept this.

00:16:32You can, and you won't.

00:16:35Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.

00:16:42You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.

00:16:44Wouldn't dream of it.

00:16:53Oh.

00:16:58Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?

00:17:00Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.

00:17:09Hi.

00:17:14And then I said, do you want me to cut this steak?

00:17:17I don't need a knife. I need a chainsaw.

00:17:20Okay.

00:17:22Jackie, there you are.

00:17:24Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.

00:17:27We simply must celebrate.

00:17:30Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.

00:17:32That doesn't mean we can't celebrate.

00:17:35Right?

00:17:37I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.

00:17:42Oh!

00:17:44My God.

00:17:46This is a $10,000 Valentino.

00:17:48I'm sorry, but I didn't, I didn't even do anything.

00:17:52Where did you find this one, Jackie?

00:17:54Waitstaff Training School?

00:17:56Vivian.

00:17:58Oh, that was it.

00:18:00She was actually a waitress.

00:18:02Or, I don't remember, whatever it was.

00:18:06Excuse me.

00:18:09So, what you got to say?

00:18:11We're done with the ex.

00:18:18So, as I was saying...

00:18:44You know, you should really come over here and taste this.

00:18:48Okay.

00:19:11Wow.

00:19:13Good?

00:19:14Surprisingly good.

00:19:17Well, payment for spying.

00:19:20Payment accepted.

00:19:22You know, a house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.

00:19:32I had to make do.

00:19:34Yeah, well, I never cook.

00:19:36It's a shame.

00:19:46You can go now.

00:20:02You, um, wanted to see me?

00:20:06Time for your first lesson.

00:20:08My what?

00:20:11Self-defense.

00:20:13Never know when you might need it.

00:20:15I don't know if that's really...

00:20:17Number one. Stance.

00:20:21Move the feet apart.

00:20:23Bend this knee.

00:20:25Yep.

00:20:26Then move this foot forward.

00:20:28Good.

00:20:29Okay.

00:20:30Now, hands up.

00:20:32Protect the face.

00:20:34Okay.

00:20:35Now, like this.

00:20:38Now, like this.

00:20:40Oh, God.

00:20:46I'm not really good at this.

00:20:49We're just getting started.

00:20:51Um, maybe we should just focus on business.

00:20:57Rule number one.

00:21:00Stance.

00:21:02Right?

00:21:08Okay.

00:21:31Every chef needs proper tools.

00:21:33I have a business expense.

00:21:38Business expense.

00:21:40These aren't the best knives in 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...

00:22:12This doesn't change anything.

00:22:14Of course not.

00:22:20This is for your mother.

00:22:27No, this is too much.

00:22:29Just to cover the whole thing.

00:22:32At least I can do it.

00:22:36I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.

00:22:41What's the catch?

00:22:54We've got a problem.

00:22:56Morning to you, too.

00:22:57So, the inheritance release date is set, but...

00:23:00If anyone finds out about the marriage, then...

00:23:02No one's gonna find out.

00:23:03Oh, really?

00:23:04Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.

00:23:06It's under control.

00:23:08Is it?

00:23:11Because it seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...

00:23:14I said it's handled.

00:23:26Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?

00:23:28This Morrison deal...

00:23:31It's a deal of a lifetime.

00:23:35Don't tell me you're actually for...

00:23:36Get out.

00:24:01Get out.

00:25:02Oh, no.

00:25:04God.

00:25:17Jack, darling.

00:25:19Fancy seeing you here.

00:25:21Living in a house.

00:25:23Living in a house.

00:25:25Living in a house.

00:25:27Living in a house.

00:25:29Fancy seeing you here.

00:25:30Vivian?

00:25:31The 82 crystal.

00:25:34Remember the crystal, Jack?

00:25:36I can still feel it running down my back, just thinking about it.

00:25:40We even used to drink some of it.

00:25:43Anyway, we have business to discuss.

00:25:45You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.

00:25:51Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:25:53This must be so boring for you.

00:25:55You're so insightful, Vivian.

00:25:57You 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,

00:26:17because me, myself, isn't actually doing all too well.

00:26:20So my proposal for next year would be basically...

00:26:28Oh.

00:26:39Quite the whirlwind romance you've got there.

00:26:42What's the catch?

00:26:44There's always a catch.

00:26:46Excuse me.

00:26:47Rebecca Chen.

00:26:49Social pages.

00:26:50Two 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.

00:27:01What 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.

00:27:27Oh.

00:27:31The Morrison Foundation dinner's tonight.

00:27:33Oh, great. Another dinner.

00:27:35It's important.

00:27:36They're all important.

00:27:38It's a part of the deal.

00:27:40They're all a part of the deal.

00:27:43You knew what you were signing up for.

00:27:45Did I?

00:27:48At least Vivian will be there.

00:27:50To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.

00:27:55Whatever.

00:28:08Nice.

00:28:09Real mature.

00:28:13No, don't.

00:28:16Oh.

00:28:18Okay.

00:28:19Okay, fine.

00:28:20You want to go?

00:28:22No.

00:28:25No, no, please.

00:28:30Okay, go ahead.

00:28:31No.

00:28:32Yeah, yeah.

00:28:33No, no, no.

00:28:34Let go.

00:28:35No.

00:28:36Ah!

00:28:37No.

00:28:39Ow!

00:28:45Ow.

00:29:10Yeah.

00:29:16So, Jack's inheritance is all set.

00:29:19But he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.

00:29:23That's a problem.

00:29:25Hmm.

00:29:26It's the girl, isn't it?

00:29:28The waitress.

00:29:29You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.

00:29:32And I thought you had everything under control.

00:29:34No, I've done my part.

00:29:36That's underway.

00:29:37And I thought you'd have your part under control.

00:29:42I have everything under control.

00:29:44Oh, really? Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.

00:29:46You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack.

00:29:50You haven't overestimated anything.

00:29:52I've just begun.

00:29:58I've got it.

00:29:59Bye.

00:30:10Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.

00:30:14I live here.

00:30:16Of course we do.

00:30:19Okay, thanks.

00:30:22Jack, darling.

00:30:23Should we proceed to the study?

00:30:25We need to discuss the Morrison deal.

00:30:27Yeah.

00:30:28Yeah.

00:30:32Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal?

00:30:39Vivian?

00:30:42Remember Tokyo?

00:30:44That sake bar?

00:30:46I'm married.

00:30:49Oh, you know.

00:30:51I hadn't noticed.

00:30:53Uh-oh.

00:30:55You know that feeling when you leave the house

00:30:59and you just feel like you've forgotten something?

00:31:11I forgot something.

00:31:14Maybe you can help me figure it out?

00:31:22Coffee?

00:31:24Oh, no thank you.

00:31:26Jack and I have much to catch up on.

00:31:29Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.

00:31:32Do you, Jack?

00:31:33Actually, I've taken it up recently.

00:31:36I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.

00:31:39And he just absolutely laps up every drop of my coffee.

00:31:48Isn't that right?

00:31:50Lily makes a great cup of coffee.

00:31:54Hmm.

00:31:58So.

00:32:00How's Vivian?

00:32:02Focus on your form.

00:32:04You know, I was just wondering.

00:32:07How long with two of you?

00:32:08Ancient history.

00:32:10That's not what I heard.

00:32:12From who?

00:32:13Around.

00:32:15Tokyo gets brought up a lot.

00:32:18You've been talking to Warren.

00:32:20You've been talking to Vivian.

00:32:22That's business.

00:32:24Everything is business with you, isn't it?

00:32:29But you know what?

00:32:32What's this?

00:32:35Some pretty big business that 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.

00:32:51Sad.

00:32:52Watch your stance.

00:32:54No.

00:32:58I don't want to be lied to.

00:33:01I'm not lying, Lily.

00:33:05Don't break my heart.

00:33:08Yeah.

00:33:25Yeah.

00:33:43Yeah, the sky is so gray today. I hate it so much.

00:33:46Please act like you know me. There's someone following me.

00:33:48Oh my god. Are you okay?

00:33:50Who's following you?

00:33:52That weirdo?

00:33:54Yeah.

00:33:59Is he gone?

00:34:01I think he's gone.

00:34:10You sure?

00:34:18Like that?

00:34:20I think your technique could use some work.

00:34:23They got the dota rights.

00:34:27You sure that wasn't me?

00:34:50What?

00:34:55Of course.

00:34:56And I think the real challenge is market penetration in emerging economies.

00:35:01I'm sure Jax brought you up to speed on all of this.

00:35:05Actually, I...

00:35:07Tell me. What's your take on blockchain integration?

00:35:11I think...

00:35:14No comment? How surprising.

00:35:16Excuse me.

00:35:18Great thinking, Lily.

00:35:19All of our drinks could use with a refill.

00:35:44Love you.

00:35:48Love you.

00:35:53But this thing isn't gonna last forever, Jack.

00:35:56I don't know.

00:35:58I mean, what choice do you have?

00:36:00Clock's ticking, buddy.

00:36:02Unless you wanna lose this deal forever.

00:36:07Lunch?

00:36:10I was just on my way out.

00:36:15Think about it, Jack.

00:36:17What?

00:36:24What was that about?

00:36:26Nothing. Just business.

00:36:28Just business. Of course.

00:36:31Lily, wait.

00:36:37What do you want, Jack?

00:36:48I'm taking you on a holiday.

00:36:50What? You have time for that?

00:36:53A lot of time.

00:36:56Just us?

00:36:58I know what I want.

00:37:03Oh, what about, um...

00:37:05What about Warren and the deal?

00:37:07I don't know.

00:37:09I don't know.

00:37:11I don't know.

00:37:13I don't know.

00:37:15I don't know.

00:37:18I can wait.

00:37:21There she is.

00:37:23What?

00:37:25That smile.

00:37:27It's the one you had when I first laid eyes on you.

00:37:30I'll never forget it.

00:37:32You know that I don't just, um...

00:37:34serve that dish to anyone, right?

00:37:36Really?

00:37:42I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.

00:37:44I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.

00:37:48Timeline on the deal has moved up.

00:37:50Same.

00:37:53Would you like me to cancel the trips?

00:37:57Yeah.

00:37:59Good.

00:38:01Who sent the message?

00:38:03They didn't chase her.

00:38:09Lily, I'm sorry.

00:38:10Don't.

00:38:11Please.

00:38:12It's just business.

00:38:13Yeah.

00:38:14I get it.

00:38:25Lily, I should, uh...

00:38:26Just shut up and...

00:38:28taste this.

00:38:38Mmm.

00:38:39It's tasty.

00:38:40Incredible?

00:38:41Yeah.

00:38:43Mmm.

00:38:47Jack?

00:38:48Mm-hmm?

00:38:50Do you want more?

00:38:52Um, after this one.

00:38:53No.

00:38:55Let the food...

00:38:57Jack.

00:39:00You're talking about us.

00:39:06How long are we gonna keep on doing this?

00:39:13Oh, my God.

00:39:15What was that?

00:39:22Any enemies?

00:39:24Business rivals?

00:39:26No one comes to mind.

00:39:28Security cameras?

00:39:30No.

00:39:32No.

00:39:34No.

00:39:36No.

00:39:38No.

00:39:39No.

00:39:40No.

00:39:41Security cameras?

00:39:43Being installed as we speak.

00:39:55Mrs. Thorne?

00:39:57Sorry.

00:40:00That's all I saw.

00:40:05I'm ruined.

00:40:06You okay?

00:40:08Yeah.

00:40:13Yeah.

00:40:18This is so insane.

00:40:22It's probably just kids.

00:40:23Kids?

00:40:25Seriously?

00:40:27Can you keep your voice down?

00:40:28Oh, sorry.

00:40:30What, are you afraid that someone's gonna hear...

00:40:32about our perfect marriage?

00:40:42What are you hiding from me?

00:40:47Hey.

00:40:49Hey, you know that secret room...

00:40:51that you didn't want me to find?

00:40:55I found it.

00:40:58Yeah?

00:41:03Hey, at least it's honest.

00:41:06Hey, at least it's honest.

00:41:13Do you want to see it?

00:41:15Show me.

00:41:36Most people run.

00:41:38I'm not most people.

00:41:43So...

00:41:46this is what you're into?

00:41:49Among other things.

00:41:50And all of those...

00:41:54specific requirements?

00:41:56We're meant to scare you.

00:41:58I'm not scared.

00:41:59I'm not scared.

00:42:00I'm not scared.

00:42:01I'm not scared.

00:42:02I'm not scared.

00:42:03I'm not scared.

00:42:04We're meant to scare you off.

00:42:06I don't scare you, Sam.

00:42:08I'm starting to get that.

00:42:15Show me.

00:42:17Are you sure?

00:42:19Are you?

00:42:34Are you?

00:42:59So?

00:43:02So...

00:43:05So...

00:43:08Sir, Miss Chase is here.

00:43:10She says it's urgent.

00:43:12Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there.

00:43:15Final deal points.

00:43:16Jess leaving in 30.

00:43:17I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.

00:43:22Lily, wait.

00:43:25Just go.

00:43:34Okay.

00:43:59The way I can explain.

00:44:02Can you?

00:44:05Guess some business can't wait.

00:44:16This whole thing is...

00:44:18Let me get this straight.

00:44:20You sleep with him and then you find a note from his ex.

00:44:24That's complicated.

00:44:25When isn't it with you?

00:44:27Look, maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little...

00:44:30What? A mistake?

00:44:32That you were right?

00:44:34Huh? Is that what you want to hear?

00:44:36No, I want you to be happy.

00:44:39And are you?

00:44:42I don't know what I am anymore.

00:44:44I mean, he paid for mom's operation, so that's cool, but...

00:44:47I know.

00:44:48And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for...

00:44:57Lily?

00:44:58Stand back.

00:44:59What?

00:45:00Stand back.

00:45:01Yeah.

00:45:05Okay, okay, okay.

00:45:07What?

00:45:08Lily!

00:45:12Get it out!

00:45:13Go, motherfucker!

00:45:14Fucker!

00:45:15Oh my God!

00:45:16Fuck you!

00:45:18Come on, let's go.

00:45:26What was that?

00:45:27Lessons with Jack.

00:45:29Jack taught you that?

00:45:31Yeah, yeah.

00:45:33Dude's getting better by a minute.

00:45:35I know.

00:45:36Oh, man.

00:45:39You okay?

00:45:41Yeah.

00:45:43God, things were supposed to be so simple.

00:45:46Now what?

00:45:48I don't even know what's real anymore.

00:45:51Oh, honey.

00:45:52I'm kidding.

00:45:59What?

00:46:20He always keeps the ledger on his desk.

00:46:29Yeah.

00:46:35Lauren, I've known you since college.

00:46:38How could you?

00:46:44Eleven months.

00:46:46Almost a year.

00:46:49I barely knew limits anymore.

00:47:00Lily, I need to tell you something.

00:47:03I'm all ears.

00:47:05It'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.

00:47:37Care to comment, Mr. Thorne?

00:47:41You know, it's funny.

00:47:43For a minute, I really believed.

00:47:46Lily, wait.

00:47:50They're not real.

00:47:52Tick tock, Mr. Thorne.

00:47:58Lily, wait.

00:48:01They're not real.

00:48:03You have to believe me.

00:48:04Look, I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal.

00:48:08Look, I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague.

00:48:13Look, I believed that last night actually meant something.

00:48:16It did.

00:48:18Lily, what happened between us was...

00:48:19The transaction.

00:48:21The transaction.

00:48:23It did.

00:48:25Lily, what happened between us was...

00:48:26The transaction.

00:48:28That's all any of this ever was.

00:48:31That's not true.

00:48:33And you know it.

00:48:34Do I?

00:48:36Because from where I'm standing,

00:48:39you got everything that you wanted.

00:48:41You got a wife when you needed one.

00:48:43And a body when you wanted one.

00:48:45Lily, that's not it.

00:48:46Tell me I'm wrong.

00:48:48Tell me that there's not something more going on here.

00:48:50With the business deal and your inheritance.

00:48:54Anything more to explain?

00:49:02That's what I thought.

00:49:06You're a terrible person.

00:49:10If you leave now, you violate the contract.

00:49:13You get nothing.

00:49:15I don't care.

00:49:18I never cared about any of that.

00:49:38Hands up.

00:49:40Protect the face.

00:49:42No, don't.

00:49:45Go?

00:49:46No.

00:49:55Warren.

00:49:56Finally, look.

00:49:58About the Morrison deal.

00:49:59It's off.

00:50:00What do you mean, it's off?

00:50:02All of it.

00:50:03The deal.

00:50:04The inheritance.

00:50:05I don't want any of it.

00:50:06Have you lost your freaking mind?

00:50:08I mean, everything that we've worked for.

00:50:10Actually...

00:50:12I think I've heard it.

00:50:42What?

00:50:48You can't just hide here forever.

00:50:50Watch me.

00:51:03Hey.

00:51:04What happened to the girl who would never back down?

00:51:08The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?

00:51:11She played, did she?

00:51:17If that's Jack, I'm sure that's just my oxygenarian neighbor who's a total drama queen.

00:51:22Watch.

00:51:24Gladys?

00:51:27Gladys, is that you?

00:51:29Do you need help with your phone?

00:51:37Sir.

00:51:39Coffee.

00:51:40Hi.

00:51:41I did some digging around like you asked, sir.

00:51:44You might want to see this.

00:51:50What am I looking at here?

00:51:51Wire transfers, shell companies.

00:51:54All leading back to Mr. Block.

00:51:57Warren.

00:51:58I knew it.

00:51:59You might want to see these too, sir.

00:52:01They'll illuminate things even more.

00:52:07Son of a bitch.

00:52:08He's trying to steal the inheritance.

00:52:10He sure is.

00:52:11All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.

00:52:15Although 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.

00:52:42Already compiled, sir.

00:52:43I had a feeling we might need this.

00:52:44Sir, what about the inheritance?

00:52:46Some things are worth more than money.

00:53:01Calling back, Megan?

00:53:03Megan?

00:53:34Oh, God.

00:53:46Oh, my God.

00:53:50Thank God.

00:53:53I got us into this.

00:53:54I can get us out of this.

00:53:56I can do this.

00:53:57I can do this.

00:53:58I can do this.

00:54:00Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.

00:54:05And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.

00:54:07If anything happens to her, that's up to you.

00:54:12Sign the papers.

00:54:14And this all goes away.

00:54:17Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.

00:54:21Hmm.

00:54:22Hmm.

00:54:23Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.

00:54:26Don't they?

00:54:27I always knew you were soft.

00:54:30But this?

00:54:31Throwing away a billion-dollar inheritance for some chef.

00:54:34He's not throwing it away.

00:54:37He's giving it to us.

00:54:39All we need is a signature, Jack.

00:54:43You care too much, Jackie boy.

00:54:46Always have.

00:54:47Always have.

00:54:52I think we might need to send a little message.

00:54:54Hmm.

00:54:56Wait.

00:54:58No.

00:55:17Let me go, you psycho.

00:55:23Remember your training.

00:55:25Protect your face.

00:55:30Megan!

00:55:31Lenny!

00:55:35Welcome to the party, sweetheart.

00:55:38Please.

00:55:39Come on.

00:55:41Come on.

00:55:45Of course it's a trap.

00:55:48The question is...

00:55:51What are you gonna do about it?

00:55:54Lenny!

00:55:57I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.

00:56:00Room 115.

00:56:01Lauren's called the police.

00:56:03Already done.

00:56:04But sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.

00:56:06She doesn't have 20 minutes.

00:56:13No, no, no, no, no.

00:56:17Lauren, she's there.

00:56:18Lily's there.

00:56:20Hold on, Lily.

00:56:21Hold on.

00:56:35Leave her alone!

00:56:36Sarah!

00:56:38Get away from my wife!

00:56:40Well, well.

00:56:42Our hero arrives.

00:56:45Don't worry.

00:56:46Our hero arrives.

00:56:49Don't do it, Jackie boy.

00:56:53I'm not some damsel in distress.

00:56:56That's my girl.

00:57:06I guess it is real love, huh?

00:57:17That's for my sister.

00:57:19You son of a bitch.

00:57:26Lily.

00:57:27About everything.

00:57:29The photos.

00:57:30Vivian.

00:57:32Now? Seriously?

00:57:34I love you.

00:57:36Not for any inheritance.

00:57:38Not for any deal.

00:57:40Just...

00:57:41you.

00:57:44I know.

00:57:47I know.

00:57:54You, stay right there.

00:57:56Come on, cover.

00:58:08What the hell?

00:58:12This isn't...

00:58:13...possible?

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.

00:58:23That proves nothing.

00:58:24I think it might prove something.

00:58:26Yeah, and those photos that you planted?

00:58:28Maybe use better AI next time.

00:58:30You can't.

00:58:31Yes, they can.

00:58:33And you two are under arrest.

00:58:38You'll regret this, Jack.

00:58:39The inheritance, the...

00:58:40...are nothing compared to what I almost lost.

00:58:42You could have had it all, Jack.

00:58:46I do.

00:58:54Yes, thank you.

00:58:55Thanks.

00:59:00Now that's a story.

00:59:06Here to twist the knife?

00:59:07Actually...

00:59:09...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...

00:59:20...no scandal piece?

00:59:21Oh...

00:59:22...there's definitely a scandal.

00:59:25But...

00:59:26...not the one they wanted me to bite on.

00:59:30That's...

00:59:31...actually accurate.

00:59:33I'm a reporter.

00:59:34Truth is kind of my thing.

00:59:37Though I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.

00:59:41Yeah, neither did I.

00:59:42So...

00:59:44...story runs tomorrow.

00:59:46Catch you on the next scandal.

00:59:55The way about the inheritance...

00:59:56Do you really think that I care about any of that now?

01:00:03Just take me home.

01:00:06Yes, dear.

01:00:13Slut's coming up.

01:00:15Must be a new record.

01:00:18It is for me.

01:00:20Any regrets?

01:00:22Only one.

01:00:25That I didn't get your chef's special sooner...

01:00:27...could have saved us a lot of trouble.

01:00:29Yeah.

01:00:30Ow.

01:00:34Excuse me, sir.

01:00:35Miss Chen's article is out.

01:00:38How bad is it?

01:00:39Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.

01:00:42She's included the last bit you wanted put in.

01:00:56Jack Thorne announced plans.

01:00:59In a shocking turn of events...

01:01:00...tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans...

01:01:02...to transform his inherited fortune...

01:01:04...into the city's largest...

01:01:06...to transform his inherited fortune...

01:01:08...into the city's largest culinary grant program?

01:01:12Surprised?

01:01:15But your...

01:01:16...your inheritance is gone.

01:01:19My inheritance, yeah.

01:01:21But turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.

01:01:23You sold the company?

01:01:25Turns out some things are worth more than money.

01:01:36Ow.

01:01:43Perfect, Julie and Danny.

01:01:44Keep them thin, okay? Just like that.

01:02:02This looks good on you.

01:02:04And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?

01:02:08Suckers.

01:02:09Can I get you your usual, sir?

01:02:12Depends.

01:02:14Did my wife make it?

01:02:16The very same wife that you married for business?

01:02:18Best business decision I ever made.

01:02:27Hang on.

01:02:34Voila.

01:02:39And the best chef in town.

01:02:42You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.

01:02:46I think that contract expired.

01:02:49Good thing I signed a new one.

01:02:58We are gathered here today...

01:03:00No more business deals this time.

01:03:03Just love.

01:03:04Good.

01:03:06Because I have some terms off my own.

01:03:09First.

01:03:11You have to eat everything I cook.

01:03:13Done.

01:03:15Second.

01:03:17No more locked rooms.

01:03:20Without me in it.

01:03:23Is that all?

01:03:25Third.

01:03:27You have to mean it this time.

01:03:29I meant it the first time.

01:03:31Just didn't know yet.

01:03:33The rings?

01:03:35Actually...

01:03:41Is that...

01:03:42Something old.

01:03:43Something new.

01:03:45Something borrowed.

01:03:46Something...

01:03:49Not mine.

01:03:57For better or worse.

01:03:59For real this time.

01:04:00For real this time.

01:04:03You may kiss the bride.

01:04:05Okay.

01:04:20So...

01:04:21Are you ready for your honeymoon?

01:04:24What are you...

01:04:28Lauren, tell me back.

01:04:31No.

01:04:34Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?

01:04:39I don't know...

01:04:40Mr. Thorne.

01:04:44Can you handle them?

01:04:46I thought this wasn't about business anymore.

01:04:50How about you just shut up...

01:04:52And kiss your wife?

01:05:00No.
