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 a
00:00:22fairy tale world. There's no such thing as happily ever after.
00:00:25Where is the duck for table two? Table two ordered something special, chef.
00:00:33No, table two ordered the special, and the special is the duck. What is this?
00:00:39Nothing. Yes, exactly. This is nothing. Now, the duck.
00:00:44Just do what your boss says, Lily. You can't afford to lose another job.
00:00:48How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?
00:00:51Table two, the duck.
00:00:55So, I'm thinking about adopting a dog. You know, like the little tiny dogs that can fit
00:01:01in your handbag. They're so cute. So, anyway, once your inheritance is secure, the Morrison
00:01:06deal is all in the bag. But, what is this mystery clause you won't tell us about, Jack?
00:01:14Jack. Jack. Hello?
00:01:17Yeah, the dog.
00:01:18You ordered the special?
00:01:33Actually, I ordered the... Trust me.
00:01:35Who is that girl?
00:01:38Something about her.
00:01:38It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:42Well, that was presumptuous.
00:01:44Huh?
00:01:44The waitress not bringing you what I ordered? Don't tell me you're actually impressed by
00:01:48that little slut, Jack.
00:01:50It looks good.
00:01:51The food or the waitress?
00:01:53And what do you think you are doing?
00:02:04I'm making something from the centering.
00:02:06You know what? That's it. I've had enough. You are fired! Get out of here!
00:02:09Not this again.
00:02:12What did you say?
00:02:15I am serious this time you are fired! You get out of here!
00:02:17What?
00:02:18You take this? You get up your act! You get out!
00:02:21No, please, sir. It won't happen again!
00:02:23No, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy this time. You get out! You leave!
00:02:26Please!
00:02:26No! No!
00:02:27Go ahead! Full call!
00:02:28Man!
00:02:29Putain!
00:02:32They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:37Yeah, the trash.
00:02:40God.
00:02:42Asshole!
00:02:48Don't scream. Don't scream, babe.
00:03:05Or do scream for me.
00:03:11Hey!
00:03:16No!
00:03:16No!
00:03:18Hey, wait!
00:03:43Not now, Warren.
00:03:44Jack, my man.
00:03:48Cupasso.
00:03:49So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:52When are you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:54The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:57Yeah.
00:03:58Yeah, come on. Are you even listening?
00:04:00I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:04:03And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:04:06Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:06Um, how 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.
00:04:21Jack, come on.
00:04:22He'll lock on me.
00:04:24Jack's never done that before.
00:04:25If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:31We're over.
00:04:33Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:36I've got just the plan.
00:04:38Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:55How am I going to find her again?
00:05:03You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:05You out of your mind?
00:05:06Vivian and I are done.
00:05:07Never again.
00:05:09She's just business now.
00:05:12Very well, sir.
00:05:14Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:17I'll find another wife.
00:05:18I'm afraid not.
00:05:20But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:23You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:29I know, I know.
00:05:30And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.
00:05:34The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:36And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.
00:05:41Especially your wife.
00:05:44Or I lose everything.
00:05:47Everything.
00:05:57Don't complain about things.
00:05:59Don't complain.
00:06:00I don't.
00:06:01All I'm saying is, you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:04I am living in the real world.
00:06:12Really?
00:06:12Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:16Creative differences.
00:06:18There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:22Lily.
00:06:24You'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 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.
00:06:39Yeah, it'll be all my fault.
00:06:43Lily.
00:06:43There is an opening at my office.
00:06:49Seriously?
00:06:50It's stable.
00:06:51Health insurance.
00:06:53401k.
00:06:54I'd rather die.
00:06:55You'd rather be broke.
00:06:56No, I'd rather...
00:06:57How can you help mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:06Fine.
00:07:13Yeah, you're right.
00:07:14Let's do it.
00:07:15Let's do it.
00:07:17Hi.
00:07:43Name?
00:07:45Lily Donning.
00:07:46Can I help you?
00:07:48Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:50My sister's Megan.
00:07:51She works here.
00:07:53Last place of employment?
00:07:55Chez Francois.
00:07:57A restaurant?
00:07:58Yes, I'm a chef.
00:08:00My passion's cooking, so I...
00:08:02And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:04No.
00:08:06No, of course not.
00:08:08And why do you think someone like you could work here?
00:08:12Um, I just need a job.
00:08:16Sorry, I'm...
00:08:17Thanks, uh...
00:08:18We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:21You can go now.
00:08:23Bye-bye.
00:08:23Screw this!
00:08:36Fuck.
00:08:36Fuck.
00:08:42What are you looking at?
00:08:48I'm sorry, Mom.
00:08:55I've tried everything, and I've let you down.
00:08:58You?
00:09:02Me.
00:09:05You dropped something.
00:09:08How did you?
00:09:09What are you doing here?
00:09:14I have a proposition for you.
00:09:17Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:21Well, hold on.
00:09:22Just hear me out.
00:09:23I heard you get fired.
00:09:26I know you don't have any money.
00:09:28Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.
00:09:30I'm doing fine.
00:09:32What if I told you this proposition could solve all your problems?
00:09:41Really?
00:09:43Solve all my problems?
00:09:45I've got a lot of problems.
00:09:47What if I told you I need a wife?
00:09:49I'd tell you that there are apps for that.
00:09:51For one year.
00:09:52Classy.
00:09:53Look, listen.
00:09:55I have a very important business deal
00:09:57with some very important people involved,
00:09:59and they need to see stability.
00:10:02Okay, so find someone stable.
00:10:04Well, that's just it.
00:10:06I need someone who won't fall in love with me.
00:10:08Someone who will just walk away after the year.
00:10:11And you seem uniquely qualified.
00:10:15But you think I'm good at walking away?
00:10:16Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:25Well, anything you want.
00:10:26Money.
00:10:28Place to live.
00:10:29Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:32Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:42Wow.
00:10:43Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:49It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:11:01You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:03My own wing?
00:11:04Complete privacy.
00:11:06But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:08Play the happy wife.
00:11:13This is, um...
00:11:34Specific?
00:11:36I like clarity.
00:11:37Wife agrees to perform...
00:11:49Very specific.
00:11:55Is there a problem?
00:11:58Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:02What's going on here?
00:12:07I'm saying yes.
00:12:14I'm saying yes.
00:12:23To everything.
00:12:25Do you, Jack Thorne?
00:12:42This is insane.
00:12:44Shut up, boy.
00:12:46Take Lily Dunning to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:50This is fucking nuts.
00:12:51Shut the fuck up.
00:12:54I do.
00:12:54I now pronounce you...
00:12:58Husband and wife.
00:13:30This marriage is just a contract.
00:13:52Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
00:14:00Good night, husband.
00:14:10And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:25And the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:27And we have the West Wing Library and the East Wing Pool.
00:14:42How do you find anything in here?
00:14:48One of ducks, madam.
00:14:49And this room is the, um...
00:15:03Oh, dear.
00:15:06Would you excuse me?
00:15:08Of course.
00:15:09Apologies.
00:15:09Apologies.
00:15:28Apologies.
00:15:28What are you doing here?
00:15:58Oh my gosh.
00:16:10Bravo?
00:16:14This is... a lot.
00:16:17The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions, including tonight's charity
00:16:22gala.
00:16:24I can't accept this.
00:16:25You can.
00:16:26And you will.
00:16:27Unless you want to attend the Abandoned Jeans.
00:16:34You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:37Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:46Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:53Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:00Hi.
00:17:04And then I said, do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:10I don't need a knife.
00:17:11I need a chainsaw.
00:17:12Okay.
00:17:13Jackie, there you are.
00:17:16Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:19We simply must celebrate.
00:17:21Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:25That doesn't mean we can't celebrate.
00:17:28Right?
00:17:29I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:37Oh, my God.
00:17:38My God.
00:17:39This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:40I'm sorry, but I didn't, I didn't even do anything.
00:17:44Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:46Waitstaff training school?
00:17:48Vivian.
00:17:49Oh, that was it.
00:17:52She was actually a waitress.
00:17:54Or, I don't remember, whatever it was.
00:17:59Excuse me.
00:18:02So, what you guys have, we're done with the ex.
00:18:11As I was saying.
00:18:20You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:39You know, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
00:19:02Wow.
00:19:03Good?
00:19:04Surprisingly good.
00:19:06Surprisingly good.
00:19:08Well, payment for spying.
00:19:12Payment accepted.
00:19:14You know, the house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:21I had to make do.
00:19:25Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:27Hmm.
00:19:28It's a shame.
00:19:29You can go now.
00:19:30You, um, wanted to see me.
00:19:47Time for your first lesson.
00:20:00My what?
00:20:02Self-defense.
00:20:04Self-defense.
00:20:05Never know when you might need it.
00:20:07I don't know if that's...
00:20:08Number one.
00:20:09Stance.
00:20:10Move the feet apart.
00:20:11Bend this knee.
00:20:12Yeah.
00:20:13Then move this foot forward.
00:20:14Good.
00:20:15Okay.
00:20:16Now, hands up.
00:20:17Protect the face.
00:20:18Okay.
00:20:19Now.
00:20:20Like this.
00:20:21Oh, God.
00:20:22I'm sorry.
00:20:23I'm not really good at this.
00:20:24We're just getting started.
00:20:25Oh.
00:20:26Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:28Rule number one.
00:20:29Stance.
00:20:30Right?
00:20:31Right?
00:20:32You're right.
00:20:33I'm sorry.
00:20:34You're right.
00:20:35I'm sorry.
00:20:36I'm sorry.
00:20:37I'm sorry.
00:20:38I'm sorry.
00:20:39I'm sorry.
00:20:40You're right.
00:20:41You're right.
00:20:42I'm sorry.
00:20:43I'm sorry.
00:20:44I'm sorry.
00:20:45I'm sorry.
00:20:46Not really good at this.
00:20:47We're just getting started.
00:20:49Well, maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:50Rule number one.
00:20:51Stance.
00:20:52Right?
00:20:53Right?
00:20:53Right?
00:21:23I had a business expense.
00:21:29Business expense.
00:21:32These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:35The best knives for the best chef.
00:21:40Why are you doing this?
00:21:42The contract.
00:21:43No.
00:21:45The real reason.
00:21:47Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:21:52Maybe.
00:21:53You just like watching me.
00:22:00You know that, um...
00:22:02This doesn't change anything.
00:22:05Of course not.
00:22:12This is for your mother.
00:22:13No, this is too much.
00:22:20It should cover the whole thing.
00:22:24Please second it.
00:22:28I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
00:22:32What's the catch?
00:22:33We've got a problem.
00:22:47Morning to you, too.
00:22:49So, the inheritance release date is set, but...
00:22:51If anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:22:53No one's gonna find out.
00:22:55Oh, really?
00:22:56Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:22:58It's under control.
00:22:59Is it?
00:23:03It seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...
00:23:05I said it's handled.
00:23:06Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:20This Morrison deal...
00:23:22Is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:27Don't tell me you're actually fooling.
00:23:28Get out.
00:23:29Get out.
00:23:58How are you?
00:24:17I don't want to.
00:25:21Fancy seeing you here.
00:25:22Vivian?
00:25:23The 82 Crystal.
00:25:26Remember the Crystal Jack?
00:25:28I can still feel it running down my back just thinking about it.
00:25:32We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:35Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:37You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:39Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:45This must be so boring for you.
00:25:47You're so insightful, Vivian.
00:25:49You do bore me.
00:25:50Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:25:55Why don't you go back to like chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:25:59So basically, you know, the company way that we have our investments holding in.
00:26:03I had a business meeting with Hannah today.
00:26:04And she has basically advised me to say that our investments are not making any profit.
00:26:09Because not me, myself isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:12So my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:14Quite a whirlwind romance you've got there.
00:26:34What's the catch?
00:26:35There's always a catch.
00:26:37Excuse me, I...
00:26:39Rebecca Chen.
00:26:40Social pages.
00:26:41Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:45This must be some kind of record.
00:26:48Though lately I've been more interested in business deals.
00:26:52Hmm.
00:26:52What would you say?
00:26:55Love at first sight?
00:26:57Or something more contractual?
00:27:00You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:02Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:09We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:12I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:23Oh, the Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.
00:27:25Oh, great.
00:27:26Another dinner.
00:27:27It's important.
00:27:28They're all important.
00:27:30It's a part of the deal.
00:27:32They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:35You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:37Did I?
00:27:38At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:42To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:48God, whatever.
00:27:49Nice.
00:28:02Real mature.
00:28:05No, don't.
00:28:07Fuck.
00:28:10Okay.
00:28:11Okay, fine.
00:28:12You want to go?
00:28:13Nope.
00:28:14Nope.
00:28:16No, no, wait.
00:28:21Okay, can we?
00:28:23No.
00:28:23Yeah, yeah.
00:28:24No, no, no.
00:28:24No, no, no.
00:28:25No, no, no.
00:28:26Let's go.
00:28:27No.
00:28:28No.
00:28:29No.
00:28:30I want to go.
00:28:31Ah!
00:28:32Oh, that's funny.
00:28:32Huh?
00:28:33Oh.
00:28:34Oh.
00:28:34Oh.
00:28:35Oh.

00:33:41Who's following you?
00:33:44That weirdo?
00:33:50Is he gone?
00:33:52I think he's gone.
00:34:01You sure?
00:34:09Like that?
00:34:09I think your technique could use some more.
00:34:16They got the dota rides.
00:34:20Sure that wasn't me.
00:34:21I think the real challenge is market penetration and emergency.
00:34:30I think the real challenge is market penetration and emergency.
00:34:34I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies.
00:34:48I'm sure Jack's brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:34:57Actually, I…
00:34:58Tell me.
00:34:59What's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:01Um…
00:35:02I think…
00:35:03Oh, no comment.
00:35:04How surprising.
00:35:05Excuse me.
00:35:06Oh, great thinking, Lily.
00:35:07All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:10Great thinking, Lily.
00:35:11All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:13All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:15Um…
00:35:30Ah…
00:35:31Okay.
00:35:35I love you.
00:35:36But this thing isn't going to last forever, Jack.
00:35:48I don't know.
00:35:50I mean, what choice do you have?
00:35:52Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:35:54Unless you want to lose this deal forever.
00:35:58Lunch?
00:36:01I was just on my way out.
00:36:06Think about it, Jack.
00:36:16What was that about?
00:36:17Nothing.
00:36:19Just business.
00:36:19Just business.
00:36:21Of course.
00:36:23Lily, wait.
00:36:28What do you want, Jack?
00:36:36Taking you on a holiday.
00:36:52What?
00:36:53You have time for that?
00:36:56A lot of time.
00:36:59Just us?
00:37:00I know what I want.
00:37:01Oh, what about, um, what about Warren and the deal?
00:37:09I can wait.
00:37:13There she is.
00:37:15What?
00:37:17That smile.
00:37:18It's the one you had when I first laid eyes on you.
00:37:21I'll never forget it.
00:37:22You know that I don't just, um, serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:28Really?
00:37:29Mm-hmm.
00:37:34I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.
00:37:36I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.
00:37:40Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:42Save.
00:37:44Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:49Yeah.
00:37:51Very good.
00:37:51Who sent the message?
00:37:55Vivian Chase.
00:38:01Lily, I'm sorry.
00:38:02Don't.
00:38:02Please.
00:38:03It's just business.
00:38:04It's business, yeah.
00:38:05I get it.
00:38:16Lily, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:18Just shut up and taste this.
00:38:21It's a taste of...
00:38:31Incredible?
00:38:32Yeah.
00:38:33Yeah, I know.
00:38:34Mm.
00:38:38Jack?
00:38:40Mm-hmm?
00:38:41Do you want more?
00:38:43Um, after this one.
00:38:45No.
00:38:45No.
00:38:45Uh, the food.
00:38:49Jack.
00:38:51Talking about us.
00:38:58How long are we going to keep on doing this?
00:39:00Oh, my God.
00:39:17What was that?
00:39:18Any enemies?
00:39:27Business rivals?
00:39:30No one comes to mind.
00:39:32Security cameras?
00:39:35Being installed as we speak.
00:39:36Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:47Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:49Sorry.
00:39:51Thought I saw...
00:39:52I'm worried.
00:39:58You okay?
00:40:00Yeah.
00:40:10No.
00:40:14This is so insane.
00:40:16It's probably just kids.
00:40:19Kids?
00:40:21Seriously.
00:40:22Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:24Oh, sorry.
00:40:26What, are you afraid that someone's going to hear
00:40:28about our perfect marriage?
00:40:30Yes!
00:40:37What are you hiding from me?
00:40:38Hey.
00:40:44Hey, you know that secret room
00:40:46that you didn't want me to find?
00:40:50I found it.
00:40:53Yeah?
00:40:59Hey, at least it's ours.
00:41:05Do you want to see it?
00:41:07Surely.
00:41:08Most people run.
00:41:38I'm not most people.
00:41:43So.
00:41:47This is what you're into?
00:41:49Among other things.
00:41:50And all of those...
00:41:53specific requirements.
00:41:56We're meant to scare you off.
00:41:58I don't scare you, sir.
00:42:00It's starting to get that.
00:42:01It's starting to get it.
00:42:07Come on.
00:42:07Show me.
00:42:09You sure?
00:42:11For you?
00:42:12No.
00:42:12I don't.
00:42:13I don't.
00:43:14Lily, wait.
00:43:17Just go.
00:43:44Lily, I can explain.
00:43:53Can you?
00:43:58Guess them business can't wait.
00:44:00This whole thing is...
00:44:10Let me get this straight.
00:44:12You sleep with him, and then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:16That's complicated.
00:44:17When isn't it with you?
00:44:19Look, maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:23A mistake?
00:44:24That you were right?
00:44:26Huh?
00:44:27Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:28No, I want you to be happy.
00:44:31And are you?
00:44:34I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:36I mean, he paid for Mom's operation, so that's cool, but...
00:44:39You know what?
00:44:40I know.
00:44:40And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for...
00:44:47Lily?
00:44:50Stand back.
00:44:52What?
00:44:52Stand back, Megan.
00:44:53Keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it.
00:44:59What?
00:45:00Wait!
00:45:01Stop!
00:45:02Oh!
00:45:03Get it out!
00:45:04Stop, motherfucker!
00:45:06Fuck!
00:45:06What?
00:45:07Oh, my God!
00:45:08Fuck you!
00:45:10Come on, let's go.
00:45:14What was that?
00:45:19Lessons with Jack.
00:45:21Jack taught you that?
00:45:22Yeah.
00:45:24Yeah.
00:45:25Dude's getting better by a minute!
00:45:26I know.
00:45:28Oh, man.
00:45:31You okay?
00:45:33Yeah.
00:45:35God, things are supposed to be so simple.
00:45:38Now what?
00:45:40Oh.
00:45:41I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:43Oh, honey.
00:45:44Again?
00:45:52He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:14Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:30How could you?
00:46:31Okay.
00:46:39I'll have it in mind.
00:46:41Oh, no.
00:46:42I'll have it in the next one.
00:46:42Lily, I need to tell you something
00:46:55I'm all ears
00:46:57It's about the deal
00:46:59About Lauren, Vivian
00:47:01Well, if it isn't the happy couple
00:47:04Oh great
00:47:06The press
00:47:07These aren't real
00:47:19Oh, my sister say they're very real
00:47:21Story runs in 48 hours
00:47:24Lily, this is what I was just about to tell you
00:47:26I've been set up
00:47:27Care to comment, Mrs. Thorne?
00:47:33You know, it's funny
00:47:34I...
00:47:35For a minute
00:47:36I really believed
00:47:38Lily, wait
00:47:40They're not real
00:47:43Take a talk, Mr. Thorne
00:47:57Lily, wait
00:47:58They're not real
00:48:01You have to believe me
00:48:03Look, I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal
00:48:05Like, I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague
00:48:10Like, I believed that last night actually meant something
00:48:15It did
00:48:16Lily, what happened between us was...
00:48:18The transaction
00:48:19That's all any of this ever was
00:48:22That's not true
00:48:24And you know it
00:48:26Do I?
00:48:28Because from where I'm standing
00:48:30You got everything that you wanted
00:48:32You got a wife when you needed one
00:48:34And a body when you wanted one
00:48:36But wait, that's not it
00:48:38Tell me I'm wrong
00:48:39Tell me that there's not something more going on here
00:48:42With the business deal
00:48:44And your inheritance
00:48:45Is there anything more to explain?
00:48:54It's what I thought
00:48:55You're a terrible person
00:49:00If you leave now
00:49:03You violate the contract
00:49:04You get nothing
00:49:06I don't care
00:49:08I never cared about any of that
00:49:12Hands up
00:49:32Protect the face
00:49:33No, don't
00:49:35Go
00:49:38Nope
00:49:39Warren
00:49:48Finally, look
00:49:50About the Morrison deal
00:49:51It's off
00:49:52What do you mean it's off?
00:49:54All of it
00:49:55The deal
00:49:56The inheritance
00:49:57I don't want any of it
00:49:59Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:01I mean, everything that we've worked for
00:50:03Actually
00:50:03I think I found it
00:50:08It's out
00:50:25I don't know
00:50:28I don't know
00:50:32It's out
00:50:32But if you do
00:50:34It's out
00:50:35I don't know
00:50:36I don't know
00:50:36You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:43Watch me.
00:50:55Hey.
00:50:57What happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:00The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:04Played.
00:51:04Did she?
00:51:06If that's Jack.
00:51:11I'm sure if that's just my octogenarian neighbor who's a total drama queen.
00:51:15Watch.
00:51:17Gladys?
00:51:20Gladys, is that you?
00:51:22Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:30Sir.
00:51:32Coffee.
00:51:33Hi.
00:51:34I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:37You might want to see this.
00:51:43What am I looking at here?
00:51:44Wire transfers, shell companies, all leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:50Lord.
00:51:51I knew it.
00:51:52And you might want to see these too, sir.
00:51:54They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:00Son of a bitch.
00:52:02He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:04He sure is.
00:52:05All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:52:09Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial.
00:52:14Sir?
00:52:27They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:28Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:32Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:34Every meeting, every call.
00:52:35I already compiled, sir.
00:52:36I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:38Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:39Some things are worth more than money.
00:52:55I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:56Megan?
00:52:56Fuck.
00:53:04Fuck.
00:53:05Fuck.
00:53:26Fuck.
00:53:26Fuck.
00:53:26I got us into this.
00:53:47I can get us out of this.
00:53:49I can do this.
00:53:50I can do this.
00:53:53Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.
00:53:56And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:54:00If anything happens to her, that's up to you.
00:54:05Sign the papers.
00:54:07And this all goes away.
00:54:11That those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.
00:54:17Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:54:20Don't they?
00:54:22I always knew you were soft.
00:54:24But this?
00:54:25Throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef.
00:54:29He's not throwing it away.
00:54:31He's giving it to us.
00:54:34All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:37You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:40Always have.
00:54:41I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:47Hmm.
00:54:49Wait.
00:54:50Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:12Remember your training.
00:55:19Protect your face.
00:55:24Megan!
00:55:25Lenny!
00:55:29Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:32Come on.
00:55:32Come on.
00:55:33Come on.
00:55:34Come on.
00:55:35Of course it's a trap.
00:55:42The question is,
00:55:44what are you going to do about it?
00:55:47Lenny!
00:55:48Oh!
00:55:51I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:55:54Room 115.
00:55:55Lawrence, call the police.
00:55:57Already done.
00:55:58But, sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:00She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:01No, no, no, no, no.
00:56:10Lawrence, she's there.
00:56:12Lily's there.
00:56:17Hold on, Lily.
00:56:18Hold on.
00:56:19Hold on.
00:56:19Leave her alone!
00:56:33Shut up!
00:56:35Get away from my wife.
00:56:37Well, well.
00:56:39A hero arrives.
00:56:42Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:47I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:50That's my girl.
00:56:58Oh.
00:57:00I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:11That's for my sister.
00:57:13You son of a bitch.
00:57:14You.
00:57:17You.
00:57:20Lily.
00:57:21Not everything.
00:57:23The photos.
00:57:25Vivian.
00:57:26Now?
00:57:26Seriously?
00:57:27I love you.
00:57:30Not for any inheritance.
00:57:32Not for any deal.
00:57:34Just,
00:57:35you.
00:57:38I know.
00:57:39You.
00:57:48Stay right there.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:50Copy.
00:58:02What the hell?
00:58:02This isn't.
00:58:07Possible.
00:58:11And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:58:13Sign the papers.
00:58:14Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:17That proves nothing.
00:58:18I think it might prove something.
00:58:20Yeah, and those photos that you planted.
00:58:22Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:24You can.
00:58:25Yes, they can.
00:58:27And you two are under arrest.
00:58:31Doing great this, Jack.
00:58:33The inheritance, they are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:36You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:40I do.
00:58:40Yes, thank you.
00:58:49Thanks.
00:58:54Now that's the story.
00:58:59Here to twist the knife?
00:59:01Actually,
00:59:02I'm here to get it right.
00:59:05Where did you...
00:59:06Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:08It seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:13So,
00:59:14no scandal piece?
00:59:15Oh.
00:59:16There's definitely a scandal.
00:59:18But,
00:59:19not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:24That's
00:59:24actually accurate.
00:59:26I'm a reporter.
00:59:28Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:30Though I must admit,
00:59:31I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:35Yeah, neither did they.
00:59:36The story runs tomorrow.
00:59:40Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:49We'll be about the inheritance.
00:59:50You really think
00:59:51that I care about any of that now?
00:59:57Just take me home.
00:59:58Yes, dear.
01:00:10Sun's coming up.
01:00:11Must be a new record.
01:00:14It is for me.
01:00:17Any regrets?
01:00:19Only one.
01:00:22That I didn't get your chef special sooner.
01:00:24Could have saved us last.
01:00:25Shall we?
01:00:26Yeah.
01:00:27Now.
01:00:31Excuse me, sir.
01:00:32Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:34How bad is it?
01:00:36Well, actually, sir,
01:00:36you might want to see it.
01:00:38She's included the last bit
01:00:40you wanted to put in.
01:00:41Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:00:55In a shocking turn of events,
01:00:57tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans
01:00:59to transform his inherited fortune
01:01:01into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:05Surprised?
01:01:06But your inheritance is gone.
01:01:12Well, the inheritance, yeah.
01:01:14But turns out selling a tech company
01:01:15can be quite profitable.
01:01:17You sold the company?
01:01:19Turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:29I'm sorry.
01:01:30I don't know.
01:01:30Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:38Keep it thin, okay?
01:01:39Just like that.
01:01:55This looks good on you.
01:01:56And who said there's no such thing
01:01:59as a happily ever after?
01:02:02Suckers.
01:02:03Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:06Depends.
01:02:08Did my wife make it?
01:02:09The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:12Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:20Hang on.
01:02:26You're the best chef in town.
01:02:36You're only saying that
01:02:38because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:41I think that contract expired.
01:02:44Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:52We are gathered here today.
01:02:54No more business deals this time.
01:02:55Just love.
01:02:58Good.
01:02:59Because I have some terms of my own.
01:03:03First,
01:03:04you have to eat everything I cooked.
01:03:07Done.
01:03:09Second,
01:03:10no more locked rooms.
01:03:13Without me in it.
01:03:17Is that all?
01:03:19Third,
01:03:20you have to mean it this time.
01:03:23I meant it the first time.
01:03:23I just didn't know you.
01:03:26The rings?
01:03:28Actually,
01:03:31Is that...
01:03:36Something old?
01:03:37Something new?
01:03:38Something borrowed?
01:03:40Something...
01:03:42Not one.
01:03:50For better or worse,
01:03:51for real this time.
01:03:56You make us the bride.
01:03:57So,
01:04:13are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:17What are you...
01:04:18What are you...
01:04:19Lauren's helped me back?
01:04:22Lauren's helped me back.
01:04:27Mrs. Thorne,
01:04:28are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:32I don't know.
01:04:34Mr. Thorne.
01:04:37Can you handle them?
01:04:38I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:43How about you just shut up
01:04:45and kiss your wife?
01:04:46You're not supposed to do this.
01:04:47I go.
01:04:52You go.
01:04:57Oh,
01:04:57God!
01:04:59You are the three of them...
01:05:00Are you out of there?
01:05:03I am not able to protect them.
01:05:03I don't know what to do.
