00:13:57Good night, husband

00:14:13And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of the evening

00:14:21And the room on the left is the kitchen

00:14:23And we have the West Wing Library

00:14:37And the East Wing Pool

00:14:39How do you find anything in here?

00:14:45One adapts, madam

00:16:01Oh my gosh

00:16:02Problem?

00:16:10This is

00:16:11A lot

00:16:13The contract stipulates appropriate desire for all occasions

00:16:16Including tonight's charity gala

00:16:18I, I can't accept this

00:16:21You can

00:16:22And you will

00:16:23Unless you want to attend the event in jeans

00:16:26Jeans

00:16:27You know, this doesn't mean that I like you

00:16:33Wouldn't dream of it

00:16:35Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?

00:16:48Yes, I am

00:16:50Mr. Thorne

00:16:51And then I said

00:17:04Do you want me to cut this steak?

00:17:06I don't need a knife

00:17:07I need a chainsaw

00:17:08Jackie, there you are

00:17:13Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag

00:17:15We simply must celebrate

00:17:17I heard about your little stunt wedding

00:17:21That doesn't mean

00:17:22We can't celebrate

00:17:23Right?

00:17:25I can think

00:17:26Of a dozen things

00:17:28You can do to me

00:17:29My god

00:17:34This is a $10,000 Valentino

00:17:37I'm sorry

00:17:38But I didn't

00:17:39I didn't even

00:17:39Do anything

00:17:41Where did you find this one, Jackie?

00:17:43Waitstaff training school?

00:17:45Vivian

00:17:45Oh, that was it

00:17:49She was actually a waitress

00:17:51Or

00:17:51I don't remember

00:17:52Whatever it was

00:17:54Excuse me

00:17:56So

00:17:59My two guys are high

00:18:00Watch out for the eggs

00:18:02As I was saying

00:18:08As I was saying

00:18:08You know

00:18:31I think they should really come over here and taste this.

00:18:57Wow.

00:18:59Good?

00:19:00Surprisingly good.

00:19:02Surprisingly good.

00:19:05Payment for spying.

00:19:08Payment accepted.

00:19:10You know, a house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.

00:19:19I had to make do.

00:19:21No, I never cook.

00:19:23It's a shame.

00:19:24It's a shame.

00:19:33You can go now.

00:19:34You, um, wanted to see me.

00:19:40Time for your first lesson.

00:19:41You, um, wanted to see me.

00:19:53Time for your first lesson.

00:19:55My what?

00:19:56Self-defense.

00:19:57You never know when you might need it.

00:20:04I don't know if that's...

00:20:05Number one.

00:20:06Stance.

00:20:10Move the feet apart.

00:20:12Bend this knee.

00:20:14Yeah.

00:20:15Then move this foot forward.

00:20:17Good.

00:20:18Okay?

00:20:19No.

00:20:20Hands up.

00:20:21Protect the face.

00:20:22Okay?

00:20:24No.

00:20:25Like this.

00:20:26Oh!

00:20:27God, I'm sorry.

00:20:29I'm not really good at this.

00:20:35We're just getting started.

00:20:38Oh.

00:20:40Maybe we should just focus on business.

00:20:43Rule number one.

00:20:46Stance.

00:20:48Right?

00:20:58Every chef needs proper tools.

00:21:19I, um...

00:21:21Business expense?

00:21:24Business expense.

00:21:25These are...

00:21:28The best knives in the market.

00:21:30The best knives for the best chef.

00:21:35Why are you doing this?

00:21:37The contract.

00:21:38No.

00:21:40The real reason.

00:21:42Maybe I just like watching you work.

00:21:47Maybe...

00:21:50You just like watching me.

00:21:56You know that, um...

00:21:58This doesn't change anything.

00:22:00Of course not.

00:22:06This is for your mother.

00:22:13The...

00:22:14No, this is too much.

00:22:15This should cover the whole thing.

00:22:16I think that's literally the nicest thing a male has ever done for me.

00:22:26What's the catch?

00:22:27What's the catch?

00:22:40We've got a problem.

00:22:42Morning to you too.

00:22:43So, the inheritance release date is set, but...

00:22:46If anyone finds out about the marriage, then...

00:22:48No one's gonna find out.

00:22:49Oh, really?

00:22:50Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.

00:22:53It's under control.

00:22:54Is it?

00:22:57It seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...

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

00:23:12Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?

00:23:14This Morrison deal...

00:23:16Is a deal of a lifetime.

00:23:18Oh, don't tell me you're actually fool.

00:23:22Get out!

00:23:23I'll put you in the next door royalty 것으로.

00:23:24I'm out.

00:23:26Great to go!

00:23:29Yes, no.

00:23:44Okay.

00:24:47Oh, no.

00:24:59God.

00:24:59Jack, darling.

00:25:14Bounty seeing you here.

00:25:16Vivian?

00:25:17The 82 crystal.

00:25:19Remember the crystal, Jack?

00:25:22I can still feel it running down my back just thinking about it.

00:25:26We even used to drink some of it.

00:25:28Anyway, we have business to discuss.

00:25:30You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.

00:25:33Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:25:38This must be so boring for you.

00:25:41You're so insightful, Vivian.

00:25:43You do bore me.

00:25:45Darling, the adults have business to discuss.

00:25:48Why don't you go back to, like, chopping or whatever it is that you do?

00:25:53So basically, you know, the company way that we have our investments holding in?

00:25:56I had a business meeting with Hannah today, and she has basically advised me to say that

00:26:00our investments are not making any profit, because me and self isn't actually doing all

00:26:04too well, so my proposal for next year would be basically...

00:26:23Why the whirlwind romance you've got there?

00:26:27What's the catch?

00:26:29There's always a catch.

00:26:30Oh, excuse me, I...

00:26:33Rebecca Chen.

00:26:34Social pages.

00:26:35Two days from first meeting to marriage.

00:26:39This must be some kind of record.

00:26:41Though lately I've been more interested in, uh, business deals.

00:26:45Hmm.

00:26:46What would you say?

00:26:49Love at first sight, or something more contractual?

00:26:53You know, you should really write romance novels.

00:26:56Seems you have quite the imagination.

00:27:00We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.

00:27:05I have a feeling there's quite a story here.

00:27:16Well, the Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.

00:27:18Oh, great.

00:27:19Another dinner.

00:27:21It's important.

00:27:22They're all important.

00:27:23It's a part of the deal.

00:27:25They're all a part of the deal.

00:27:28You knew what you were signing up for.

00:27:30Did I?

00:27:34At least Vivian will be there.

00:27:36To talk.

00:27:37Deals, and acquisitions, and mergers, and...

00:27:41Okay, whatever.

00:27:42Nice.

00:27:55Real mature.

00:27:59No, don't.

00:28:00Fuck.

00:28:03Okay.

00:28:04Okay, fine.

00:28:05You want to go?

00:28:07Nope.

00:28:07No.

00:28:09No, no.

00:28:11No, no.

00:28:13Okay, family.

00:28:16Yeah?

00:28:17Yeah?

00:28:17No, no, no, no, no.

00:28:18Yeah.

00:28:18No, no, no, no, no.

00:28:19No.

00:28:19What, no?

00:28:20No.

00:28:21No.

00:28:22No.

00:28:24Ow!

00:28:25Uh.

00:28:26Oh.

00:28:26Aw.

00:28:26Ah.

00:28:26Oh.

00:28:27Oh.

00:28:28Oh.

00:28:29Oh.

00:28:29Yeah.

00:28:59So Jack's inheritance is all set, but he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal. That's the problem.

00:29:09Hmm. It's the girl, isn't it? The waitress.

00:29:13You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.

00:29:16And I thought you had everything under control.

00:29:18Oh, I've done my part. That's underway. And I thought you'd have your part under control.

00:29:24I have everything under control.

00:29:28Oh, really? Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian. You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over, Jack.

00:29:34You haven't overestimated anything. I've just begun.

00:29:41I've got it.

00:29:43Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.

00:29:57I live here. Of course you do.

00:30:02Okay, thanks.

00:30:05Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study? We need to discuss the Morrison deal.

00:30:10Yeah?

00:30:11Yeah.

00:30:12Yeah.

00:30:16Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.

00:30:23Vivian?

00:30:24Remember Tokyo?

00:30:27That sake bar?

00:30:30I'm married.

00:30:33Are you now?

00:30:35I hadn't noticed.

00:30:37Uh-huh.

00:30:39You know that feeling when you leave the house?

00:30:42And you just feel like...

00:30:43And you just feel like...

00:30:45You've forgotten something?

00:30:55I forgot something.

00:30:57Maybe you can...

00:31:00Help me figure it out?

00:31:01Coffee?

00:31:05Coffee?

00:31:08Oh, no thank you.

00:31:10Jack and I have much to catch up on.

00:31:13Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.

00:31:16Do you, Jack?

00:31:17Actually, I've taken it up recently.

00:31:19Hmm.

00:31:20I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.

00:31:23And he just absolutely laps up every drop of my coffee.

00:31:32Isn't that right?

00:31:34Lily makes a great cup of coffee.

00:31:38Hmm.

00:31:41So...

00:31:43How's Vivian?

00:31:45Focus on your form.

00:31:47You know, I was just wondering.

00:31:50How long the two of you...

00:31:51Ancient history.

00:31:53That's not what I heard.

00:31:55From who?

00:31:56Around.

00:31:58Tokyo gets brought up a lot.

00:31:59You've been talking to Warren.

00:32:02You've been talking to Vivian.

00:32:05That's business.

00:32:07Everything is business with you, isn't it?

00:32:12But you know what?

00:32:15What's this?

00:32:18Some pretty big business.

00:32:20That you haven't been sharing with me.

00:32:22I think Vivian wants some of it, too.

00:32:26But you know what?

00:32:29Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.

00:32:34Sad.

00:32:35Watch your stance.

00:32:36I don't want to be lied to.

00:32:38I'm not lying, Lily.

00:32:39Don't break my heart.

00:32:40Yeah.

00:32:41I don't want to be lied to.

00:32:44I'm not lying, Lily.

00:32:48Don't break my heart.

00:32:51Yeah.

00:33:11Yeah, this guy is so great today right here so much.

00:33:28Please act like you know me.

00:33:29There's someone following me.

00:33:30Oh, my God.

00:33:31Are you okay?

00:33:32Who's following you?

00:33:34That weirdo?

00:33:35Is he gone?

00:33:41Is he gone?

00:33:42I think he's gone.

00:33:52You're sure?

00:33:59Like that?

00:34:00I think your technique could use some more.

00:34:06They got the dota rides.

00:34:10You sure that wasn't me?

00:34:31What?

00:34:37Of course.

00:34:38And I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies.

00:34:42I'm sure Jack's brought you up to speed on all of this.

00:34:47Actually, I...

00:34:49Tell me.

00:34:50What's your take on blockchain integration?

00:34:52I think...

00:34:55No comment.

00:34:57How surprising.

00:34:58Excuse me.

00:35:00Great thinking, Lily.

00:35:01All of our drinks could use with a refill.

00:35:25Love you.

00:35:30Love you.

00:35:31Love you.

00:35:35But this thing isn't going to last forever, Jack.

00:35:38I don't know.

00:35:39I mean, what choice do you have?

00:35:41Clock's ticking, buddy.

00:35:43Unless you want to lose this deal forever.

00:35:48Lunch?

00:35:49I was just on my way out.

00:35:50Think about it, Jack.

00:35:52What was that about?

00:35:54Nothing.

00:35:55Just business.

00:35:56Just business.

00:35:57Of course.

00:35:58Lily, wait.

00:35:59What was that about?

00:36:00Nothing.

00:36:01Just business.

00:36:02Just business.

00:36:03Of course.

00:36:04Lily, wait.

00:36:05What do you want, Jack?

00:36:06Just a minute.

00:36:07No.

00:36:08No.

00:36:09No.

00:36:22No.

00:36:23No.

00:36:24No.

00:36:25No.

00:36:26No.

00:36:27No.

00:36:28No.

00:36:29No.

00:36:30Taking you on a holiday.

00:36:42What?

00:36:43You have time for that?

00:36:46A lot of time.

00:36:49Just us?

00:36:50I know what I want.

00:36:55Oh, what about, um, what about Warren and the deal?

00:36:59They can win.

00:37:00There she is.

00:37:05What?

00:37:06That smile.

00:37:08It's the one you had when I first laid house on you.

00:37:11I'll never forget it.

00:37:13You know that I don't just, um, serve that dish to anyone, right?

00:37:18Really?

00:37:19Mm-hmm.

00:37:24I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.

00:37:26I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.

00:37:30Timeline on the deal has moved up.

00:37:32Save.

00:37:34Would you like me to cancel the trip, Sid?

00:37:39Yeah.

00:37:41You're good.

00:37:43Who sent the message?

00:37:45Vivian Chase.

00:37:46It'll be, I'm sorry.

00:37:52Don't.

00:37:52Please.

00:37:53It's just business.

00:37:54It's business, yeah.

00:37:55I get it.

00:37:57I get it.

00:37:57Lily, I shouldn't, uh...

00:38:07Just shut up and taste this.

00:38:19Mm.

00:38:20This tastes, uh...

00:38:21Incredible?

00:38:22Yeah.

00:38:22Yeah, I know.

00:38:24Mm.

00:38:28Jack.

00:38:29Mm-hmm?

00:38:31Do you want more?

00:38:33Um, after this one.

00:38:34No.

00:38:36Let the food.

00:38:38Jack.

00:38:41Talking about us.

00:38:42How long are we going to keep on doing this?

00:39:03Oh!

00:39:04Oh, my God.

00:39:06What was that?

00:39:07Any enemies?

00:39:17Business rivals?

00:39:19No one comes to mind.

00:39:21Security cameras?

00:39:24Being installed as we speak.

00:39:36Mrs. Thorne?

00:39:37I'm sorry.

00:39:40That's what I saw.

00:39:46I'm worried.

00:39:47You okay?

00:39:49Yeah.

00:39:59Yeah.

00:40:03This is so insane.

00:40:05It's probably just kids.

00:40:08Kids?

00:40:10Seriously.

00:40:11Can you keep your voice down?

00:40:13Oh, sorry.

00:40:15What, are you afraid that someone's going to hear about our perfect marriage?

00:40:26What are you hiding from me?

00:50:29Watch me.

00:50:41Hey.

00:50:42What happened to the girl who would never back down?

00:50:46The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?

00:50:49She played.

00:50:50Did she?

00:50:54Oh, that's Jack.

00:50:57I'm sure that's just my octogenarian neighbor who's a total drama queen.

00:51:01Watch.

00:51:03Gladys?

00:51:06Gladys, is that you?

00:51:08Do you need help with your phone?

00:51:09Oh, my God.

00:51:16Sir.

00:51:17Coffee.

00:51:19Hi.

00:51:20I did some digging around like you asked, sir.

00:51:23You might want to see this.

00:51:29What am I looking at here?

00:51:30Wire transfers, shell companies, all leading back to Mr. Block.

00:51:35More.

00:51:37I knew it.

00:51:38You might want to see these too, sir.

00:51:39They'll illuminate things even more.

00:51:45Son of a bitch.

00:51:47He's trying to steal the inheritance.

00:51:49He sure is.

00:51:50All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.

00:51:54Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial.

00:52:11Sir?

00:52:12They're threatening Lily and her sister.

00:52:14Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.

00:52:18Give me everything you can about Warren.

00:52:19Every meeting, every call.

00:52:20We're already compiled, sir.

00:52:22I had a feeling we might need this.

00:52:23Sir, what about the inheritance?

00:52:25Some things are worth more than money.

00:52:27I'm coming back, Megan.

00:52:41I have a feeling we might need this.

00:53:06I have a feeling we're not going to deal with this.

00:53:08What happened?

00:53:08I know what happened.

00:53:08I know you're not going to deal with this.

00:53:09I can get us out of this.

00:53:34Oh, I can do this.

00:53:35Oh, I can do this.

00:53:36Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.

00:53:42And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.

00:53:45If anything happens to her, that's up to you.

00:53:49Sign the papers.

00:53:52And this all goes away.

00:53:55Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.

00:54:02Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved.

00:54:05Don't they?

00:54:06I always knew you were soft.

00:54:09But this?

00:54:10Throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef.

00:54:13He's not throwing it away.

00:54:15He's giving it to us.

00:54:18All we need is a signature, Jack.

00:54:22You care too much, Jackie boy.

00:54:25Always have.

00:54:25I think we might need to send a little message.

00:54:32Hmm.

00:54:34Wait.

00:54:34Let me go, you psycho.

00:54:55Remember your training.

00:55:03Protect your face.

00:55:08Megan!

00:55:09Lenny!

00:55:13Welcome to the party, sweetheart.

00:55:16Please, come on.

00:55:18Come on.

00:55:19Of course it's a trap.

00:55:25The question is,

00:55:27what are you going to do about it?

00:55:31Lily!

00:55:32I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.

00:55:37Room 115.

00:55:39Lawrence, call the police.

00:55:40Already done.

00:55:41But, sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.

00:55:44She doesn't have 20 minutes.

00:55:45No, no, no, no, no.

00:55:54Lawrence, she's there.

00:55:55Lily's there.

00:56:00Hold on, Lily.

00:56:01Hold on.

00:56:07Hold on.

00:56:07Leave her alone.

00:56:17Shut up.

00:56:19Get away from my wife.

00:56:21Well, well.

00:56:23Hero arrives.

00:56:26Don't do it, Jackie boy.

00:56:30I'm not some damsel in distress.

00:56:33That's my girl.

00:56:37Oh, I guess it is real love, huh?

00:56:54That's for my sister.

00:56:56You son of a bitch.

00:57:03Lily, about everything.

00:57:05The photos.

00:57:08Vivian.

00:57:09Now?

00:57:10Seriously?

00:57:11I love you.

00:57:13Not for any inheritance.

00:57:15Not for any deal.

00:57:17Just, you know.

00:57:22I know.

00:57:30You.

00:57:31Stay right there.

00:57:33Come on, cover me.

00:57:35What the hell?

00:57:49This isn't...

00:57:50Possible.

00:57:54And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.

00:57:56Sign the papers.

00:57:57Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved.

00:58:00That proves nothing.

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

00:58:03Yeah, and those photos that you planted.

00:58:05Maybe use better AI next time.

00:58:07You can't?

00:58:08Yes, they can.

00:58:10And you two are under arrest.

00:58:14You'll regret this, Jack.

00:58:15The inheritance, they...

00:58:16Are nothing compared to what I almost lost.

00:58:19You pitiful at it all, Jack.

00:58:20I do.

00:58:30Yes, thank you.

00:58:32Thanks.

00:58:36Now that's a story.

00:58:42Here to twist the knife?

00:58:43Actually, I'm here to get it right.

00:58:48Where did you...

00:58:49Lawrence sends his regards.

00:58:52Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.

00:58:55So, no scandal piece?

00:58:58Oh, there's definitely a scandal.

00:59:01But, not the one they wanted me to bite on.

00:59:07That's...

00:59:07actually accurate.

00:59:08I'm a reporter.

00:59:11Truth is kind of my thing.

00:59:13Though, I must admit,

00:59:14I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.

00:59:17Yeah, neither did they.

00:59:20Story runs tomorrow.

00:59:22Catch you on the next scandal.

00:59:31Only about the inheritance.

00:59:33You really think that I care about any of that now?

00:59:38Just take me home.

00:59:43Yes, dear.

00:59:52Sun's coming up.

00:59:54Must be a new record.

00:59:57It is for me.

00:59:59Any regrets?

01:00:01Only one.

01:00:04That I didn't get your chef's special sooner.

01:00:07Could have saved us a lot.

01:00:08Yeah.

01:00:09Wow.

01:00:13Excuse me, sir.

01:00:14Miss Chen's article is out.

01:00:17How bad is it?

01:00:18Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.

01:00:21She's included the last bit you wanted to put in.

01:00:23Jack Thorne announced plans.

01:00:37In a shocking turn of events,

01:00:39tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans

01:00:41to transform his inherited fortune

01:00:43into the city's largest culinary grant program.

01:00:47Surprised?

01:00:48But your inheritance is gone.

01:00:54Well, the inheritance, yeah.

01:00:56But turns out selling a tech company

01:00:58can be quite profitable.

01:00:59You sold the company?

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

01:01:03Perfect, Julie and Danny.

01:01:20Keep it thin, okay?

01:01:21Just like that.

01:01:37This looks good on you.

01:01:40And who said there's no such thing

01:01:41as a happily ever after?

01:01:44Suckers.

01:01:44Can I get you your usual, sir?

01:01:48It depends.

01:01:50Did my wife make it?

01:01:51The very same wife that you married for business?

01:01:54Best business decision I ever made.

01:02:02Hang on.

01:02:03Voila.

01:02:15You're the best chef in town.

01:02:18You're only saying that

01:02:20because you're contractually obligated.

01:02:23I think that contract expired.

01:02:26Good thing I signed a new one.

01:02:33We are gathered here today.

01:02:36No more business deals this time.

01:02:38Just love.

01:02:49Done.

01:02:50Second,

01:02:55Without me in it.

01:02:58Is that all?

01:03:00Third,

01:03:01you have to mean it this time.

01:03:04I meant it the first time.

01:03:06Just didn't know yet.

01:03:17Something old.
