00:13:27This marriage, it's just a contract.
00:13:49Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
00:13:57Good night, husband.
00:14:17And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of the evening.
00:14:22The 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?
00:14:45One of dots, madam.
00:14:46And this room is the, um...
00:15:00Oh, dear.
00:15:03Would you excuse me?
00:15:05Of course.
00:15:06Apologies.
00:15:06Apologies.
00:15:07What are you doing here?
00:15:37Oh my gosh.
00:16:07This is...a lot.
00:16:14The contract stipulates appropriate is hired for all occasions, including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:19I can't accept this.
00:16:20You can.
00:16:21And you will.
00:16:22Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:26You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:33Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:34Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:48Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:03And then I said, do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:06I don't need a knife.
00:17:07I need a chainsaw.
00:17:10Jackie, there you are.
00:17:12Warren 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.
00:17:20That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:24I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:33My God.
00:17:34This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:36I'm sorry, but I didn't...I didn't even...do anything.
00:17:40Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:42Wagstaff Training School?
00:17:44Vivian.
00:17:47Oh, that was it.
00:17:48She was actually a waitress.
00:17:50Or...I don't remember.
00:17:52Whatever it was.
00:17:54Excuse me.
00:17:57So...
00:17:58Watch out for the ex.
00:18:06As I was saying.
00:18:31You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:36Okay.
00:18:37I'm sorry.
00:18:57Wow.
00:18:59Good?
00:19:00Surprisingly good.
00:19:01Surprisingly good.
00:19:03Well, payment 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.
00:19:24You can go now.
00:19:49You, um, wanted to see me.
00:19:53Time for your first lesson.
00:19:55My what?
00:20:00Self-defense.
00:20:02Never know when you might need it.
00:20:04I don't know if that's really...
00:20:06Number one, stance.
00:20:09Move the feet apart.
00:20:12Bend this knee.
00:20:14Yeah.
00:20:15Then move this foot forward.
00:20:17Good.
00:20:18Okay.
00:20:19Now, hands up.
00:20:21Protect the face.
00:20:23Good.
00:20:23Good.
00:20:24Now, like this.
00:20:27Oh, God, I'm sorry.
00:20:32I'm not really good at this.
00:20:36We're just getting started.
00:20:38Oh.
00:20:38Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:44Rule number one.
00:20:46Stance.
00:20:48Right?
00:20:49Right?
00:20:49Right.
00:20:49Right.
00:20:49Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:01I have a business expense.
00:21:12Business expense.
00:21:13Business expense.
00:21:13These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:18These are the best knives to the best knives to the best chef.
00:21:32Why are you doing this?
00:21:37The contract.
00:21:38No.
00:21:39The real reason.
00:21:42Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:21:47Maybe.
00:21:50You just like watching me.
00:21:52You know that, um, this doesn't change anything.
00:22:00Of course not.
00:22:07This is for your mother.
00:22:08No, this is too much.
00:22:15You should cover the whole thing.
00:22:16At least I can do.
00:22:23I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
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 if anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:22:48No one's going to 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 your...
00:23:00I said it's handled.
00:23:01Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:15This Morrison deal...
00:23:17is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:21Don't tell me you're actually fooling me.
00:23:23Get out.
00:23:23Fuck.
00:23:34Let's go.
00:23:35Take care.
00:23:35näê'
00:23:42D
00:25:20I can still feel it running down my back just thinking about it.
00:25:26We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:27Anyway, 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.
00:25:44Darling, 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 our investments are not making any profit, because me and self isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:05So my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:07Why the whirlwind romance you've got there?
00:26:26What's the catch?
00:26:28There's always a catch.
00:26:31Excuse me.
00:26:32Rebecca 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 business deals.
00:26:45Hmm, what 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.
00:27:03We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:05I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:15Oh, 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?
00:27:31At least Vivian will be there to talk.
00:27:37Deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:41Okay, whatever.
00:27:45Nice.
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.
00:28:10No, no, babe.
00:28:15Okay, can we?
00:28:16Yeah?
00:28:16Yeah?
00:28:17No, no, no, no, no.
00:28:18No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:28:20Let's go.
00:28:23No.
00:28:25Ow!
00:28:25Oh, my God.
00:28:55Yeah
00:29:01So Jack's inheritance is all set
00:29:04But he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal
00:29:08That's a problem
00:29:11It's the girl isn't it?
00:29:12The waitress
00:29:14You and I both know she's been a problem from the start and I thought you had everything under control. Oh, I've done my part
00:29:21That's underway, and I thought you'd have your part under control
00:29:25I
00:29:26Have everything under control. Oh really? It doesn't seem like it Vivian. You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack
00:29:35You haven't overestimated anything. I've just begun
00:29:42I've got it
00:29:44Hmm funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door. I live here
00:29:59Of course you do
00:30:03Okay, thanks
00:30:06Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study? We need to discuss the Morrison deal
00:30:11Yeah
00:30:13Oh
00:30:17We need to discuss the Morrison deal
00:30:24Vivian

00:30:37Uh-huh
00:30:38You know that feeling
00:30:40You know that feeling
00:30:41When you leave the house
00:30:43And you just feel like
00:30:45You've forgotten something
00:30:47I forgot something

00:31:14And 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
00:31:24Absolutely
00:31:25Laps up
00:31:27Every
00:31:28Drop
00:31:29Of my coffee
00:31:32Isn't that right?
00:31:34Lily makes a great cup of coffee
00:31:41So
00:31:43How's Vivian?
00:31:45Focus on your form
00:31:47You know
00:31:48I 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
00:32:00You've been talking to Warren
00:32:02You've been talking to Vivian
00:32:04That's business
00:32:06Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:09But you know what?
00:32:10What's this?
00:32:11Some pretty big business
00:32:12That you haven't been sharing with me?
00:32:13I think Vivian wants some of it too
00:32:14But you know what?
00:32:15Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself
00:32:18It's sad
00:32:19Watch your stance
00:32:20I don't want to be lied to
00:32:21I'm not lying, Lily
00:32:23Don't break my heart
00:32:24Yeah
00:32:25I think Vivian wants some of it too
00:32:26I don't want to be lied to
00:32:31I'm not lying, Lily
00:32:36Don't break my heart
00:32:40Yeah
00:32:42Lied to
00:32:44I'm not lying, Lily
00:32:48Don't break my heart
00:32:51Yeah
00:33:12Yeah, this guy is so great today, I hate him so much
00:33:28Please act like you know me, there's someone following me
00:33:30Oh my god, are you okay?
00:33:32Who's following you?
00:33:34That weirdo?
00:33:36Is he gone?
00:33:42I think he's gone
00:33:52You sure?
00:34:00Like that?
00:34:02I think your technique could use some more
00:34:06They got the dota rides
00:34:10Sure that wasn't me
00:34:12What?
00:34:20What?
00:34:22What?
00:34:36Of course, and 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
00:34:44Um, actually, I
00:34:46Tell me, what's your take on blockchain integration?
00:34:50Um, I think
00:34:54No comment, how surprising
00:34:56Excuse me
00:34:58Great thinking, Lily
00:35:00All of our drinks could use with a refill
00:35:02All of our drinks could use with a refill
00:35:26Love you
00:35:32But this thing isn't gonna last forever, Jack
00:35:36I don't know
00:35:38I mean, what choice do you have?
00:35:40Clock's ticking, buddy
00:35:42Unless you wanna lose this deal forever
00:35:44Lunch?
00:35:48I was just on my way out
00:35:52Think about it, Jack
00:35:54Think about it, Jack
00:36:06What was that about?
00:36:08Nothing
00:36:09Just business
00:36:10Just business
00:36:11Of course
00:36:13Lily, wait
00:36:18What do you want, Jack?
00:36:24I'm taking you on a holiday
00:36:26What?
00:36:27You have time for that?
00:36:28A lot of time
00:36:29Just us?
00:36:30I know what I want
00:36:32What?
00:36:33What?
00:36:34What?
00:36:35What?
00:36:36What?
00:36:37What?
00:36:38What?
00:36:39What?
00:36:40What?
00:36:41What?
00:36:42What?
00:36:43What?
00:36:44What?
00:36:45What?
00:36:46What?
00:36:47What?
00:36:48What?
00:36:49What?
00:36:50What?
00:36:51What?
00:36:52What?
00:36:53What about, um
00:36:55What about Warren and the deal?
00:36:59I can wait
00:37:03There she is
00:37:04What?
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
00:37:15Serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:17Really?
00:37:19Mhm
00:37:23I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne
00:37:26I've been told to relay that there's a problem in the back of the office
00:37:30Timeline on the deal has moved up
00:37:31Save
00:37:33Thank you
00:37:34Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:39Yeah

00:39:03Oh my god
00:39:06What was that?
00:39:09Any enemies?
00:39:16Business rivals?
00:39:19No one comes to mind
00:39:21Security cameras?
00:39:24Being installed as we speak
00:39:35Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:36Sorry
00:39:37Sorry
00:39:38Sorry

00:39:59Yeah

00:40:12Oh, sorry
00:40:14What are you afraid that someone's gonna hear?
00:40:17About our perfect marriage?
00:40:18Marriage?

00:40:31Hey
00:40:33Hey, you know that secret room?

00:43:42Can you?
00:43:46Guess some business can't wait.
00:43:48This whole thing is...
00:43:58Let me get this straight.
00:44:00You sleep with him, and then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:04That's complicated.
00:44:05When isn't it with you?
00:44:07Look, maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:11What? A mistake?
00:44:12That you were right?
00:44:14Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:16No, I want you to be happy.
00:44:19And are you?
00:44:22I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:24I mean, he paid for Mom's operation, so that's cool, but...
00:44:27I know.
00:44:28And the worst part is, I think I might actually be falling for it.
00:44:37Lily?
00:44:38Stand back.
00:44:39What?
00:44:40Stand back, Megan.
00:44:40Get down with the fucker!
00:44:53Fucker!
00:44:54What?
00:44:54Oh my god!
00:44:56Fuck you!
00:44:58Come on, let's go.
00:45:03What was that?
00:45:06Lessons with Jack.
00:45:09Jack taught you that?
00:45:10Yeah.
00:45:12Yeah.
00:45:13Dude's getting better by a minute!
00:45:14I know.
00:45:15Oh, man.
00:45:19You okay?
00:45:20Yeah.
00:45:22God, things are supposed to be so simple.
00:45:26Now what?
00:45:27Oh.
00:45:28I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:31Oh, honey.
00:45:32I'm kidding.
00:45:32He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:02Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:17How could you?
00:46:2311 months.
00:46:25Almost a year.
00:46:28I barely knew the best anymore.
00:46:29Okay.
00:46:41Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:46:43I'm all ears.
00:46:45It's about the deal.
00:46:47About Warren, Vivian.
00:46:48Well.
00:46:50If it isn't the happy couple.
00:46:52Oh, great.
00:46:53The press.
00:46:54These aren't real.
00:47:05Are you real?
00:47:06Oh, my sisters say they're very real.
00:47:09Story runs in 48 hours.
00:47:11Louis, this is what I was just about to tell you.
00:47:13I've been set up.
00:47:17Care to comment, Mrs. Thorne?
00:47:18You know, it's funny.
00:47:21I...
00:47:22For a minute, I really believed.
00:47:26Louis, wait.
00:47:29They're not real.
00:47:32Take talk, Mr. Thorne.
00:47:33I'm sorry.
00:47:43Louis, wait.
00:47:44They're not real.
00:47:48You have to believe me.
00:47:49Look, I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal.
00:47:53Like, I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague.
00:47:59Look, I believed that last night actually meant something.
00:48:02It did.
00:48:03Lily, what happened between us was...
00:48:05The transaction.
00:48:07That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:10That's not true.
00:48:11And you know it.
00:48:12Do I?
00:48:13Because from where I'm standing,
00:48:17you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:19You got a wife when you needed one.
00:48:21And a body when you wanted one.
00:48:24No, wait.
00:48:24That's not it.
00:48:25Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:26Tell me that there's not something more going on here.
00:48:29With the business deal.
00:48:30And your inheritance.
00:48:33Anything more to explain?
00:48:41Somebody thought.
00:48:43You're a terrible person.
00:48:49If you leave now, you violate the contract.
00:48:52You get nothing.
00:48:54I don't care.
00:48:57I never cared about any of that.
00:48:59Hands up.
00:49:18Protect the face.
00:49:20No, don't.
00:49:22Go.
00:49:23Go.
00:49:25Nope.
00:49:34Warren.
00:49:35Finally, look.
00:49:37About the Morrison deal.
00:49:38It's off.
00:49:39What do you mean it's off?
00:49:40All of it.
00:49:42The deal.
00:49:43The inheritance.
00:49:44I don't want any of it.
00:49:45Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:49:47I mean, everything that we've worked for.
00:49:49Actually, I think I found it.
00:49:54There's actually a lot of people.
00:50:10Joyce.
00:50:13I might not care.
00:50:13Just for that.
00:50:15I've lost my life.
00:50:16I've lost my life.
00:50:17You can't just hide here forever
00:50:28Watch me
00:50:29Hey
00:50:42What happened to the girl
00:50:44Who would never back down
00:50:45The one who quit her job
00:50:48Because she didn't want to compromise
00:50:49She played
00:50:50Did she?
00:50:56That's Jack
00:50:57I'm sure that's just my
00:50:58Oxygenarian neighbor
00:50:59Who's a total drama queen
00:51:01Watch
00:51:01Gladys
00:51:04Gladys, is that you?
00:51:08Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:15Sir
00:51:16Coffee
00:51:18Hi
00:51:19I did some digging around like you asked, sir
00:51:22You might want to see this
00:51:24What am I looking at here?
00:51:30Wire transfers
00:51:31Shell companies
00:51:32All leading back to Mr. Block
00:51:34More
00:51:36I knew it
00:51:38And you might want to see these too, sir
00:51:39They'll illuminate things even more
00:51:41Son of a bitch
00:51:46He'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
00:51:59Sir
00:52:11They're threatening Lily and her sister
00:52:13Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game
00:52:17Give me everything you can about Warren
00:52:19Every meeting
00:52:20Every call
00:52:20Already compiled, sir
00:52:21I 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'm coming back, Megan
00:52:41Did you hear me?
00:52:55geb
00:52:58Oh
00:53:07Oh
00:53:08Oh
00:53:08Oh
00:53:09Oh
00:53:10Oh
00:53:10Oh
00:53:11Oh
00:53:11I got us under this.
00:53:32I can get us out of this.
00:53:34I can do this.
00:53:35I can do this.
00:53:37Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.
00:53:41And 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, don't they?
00:54:06I always knew you were soft.
00:54:08But 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.
00:55:01Protect your face.
00:55:08Megan!
00:55:09Lenny!
00:55:13Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:16Please, it's a trap.
00:55:18Come on.
00:55:19Of course it's a trap.
00:55:26The question is,
00:55:27what are you going to do about it?
00:55:31Lily!
00:55:34I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:55:37Room 115.
00:55:39Lauren's called 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.
00:55:54Lauren, she's there.
00:55:55Lily's there.
00:56:00Hold on, Lily.
00:56:01Hold on.
00:56:02Hold on.
00:56:02Leave her alone.
00:56:17Shut up!
00:56:19Get away from my wife.
00:56:21Well, well.
00:56:23A hero arrives.
00:56:26Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:27I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:33That's my girl.
00:56:41Oh.
00:56:43I guess it is real love, huh?
00:56:45That's for my sister.
00:56:56You son of a bitch.
00:57:03Lily.
00:57:05Not everything.
00:57:06The photos.
00:57:08Vivian.
00:57:09Now?
00:57:10Seriously?
00:57:11I love you.
00:57:11Not for any inheritance.
00:57:15Not for any deal.
00:57:17Just, you know.
00:57:21Enough.
00:57:30You.
00:57:31Stay right there.
00:57:33Come on.
00:57:33Cuff it.
00:57:34Cuff it.
00:57:34Cuff it.
00:57:36Cuff it.
00:57:37Cuff it.
00:57:38Cuff it.
00:57:39Cuff it.
00:57:40Cuff it.
00:57:41Cuff it.
00:57:41What the hell?
00:57:49This isn't...
00:57:50Possible.
00:57:53And 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.
00:58:01I 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.
00:58:09And...
00:58:10You two are under arrest.
00:58:14You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:15The inheritance that...
00:58:16Are nothing.
00:58:17Compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:19You pit upon it all, Jack.
00:58:23I do.
00:58:23Yes, thank you.
00:58:32Thanks.
00:58:36Now that's the story.
00:58:42Here to twist the knife?
00:58:44Actually...
00:58:44I'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...
00:58:56No scandal piece?
00:58:58Oh.
00:58:59There's definitely a scandal.
00:59:01But...
00:59:02Not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:03That's...
00:59:07Actually accurate.
00:59:09I'm a reporter.
00:59:11Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:13Though I must admit, I 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.
00:59:31It'll be about the inheritance.
00:59:33Do you really think that I care about any of that now?
00:59:40Just 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.
01:00:03That I didn't get your chef's specials sooner.
01:00:07Could have saved us a lot.
01:00:08Yeah.
01:00:09Ow.
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, tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans to transform his inherited fortune into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:00:46Surprised?
01:00:48Surprised?
01:00:51But your, your inheritance is gone.
01:00:54Only inheritance, yeah.
01:00:56But turns out selling a tech company can 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.
01:01:38And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:01:44Suckers.
01:01:45Can 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.
01:01:56Hang on.
01:02:10Voila.
01:02:15And the best chef in town.
01:02:18You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:23I think that contract expired.
01:02:26Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:34We are gathered here today.
01:02:36No more business deals this time.
01:02:38Just love.
01:02:39Good.
01:02:41Because I have some terms of my own.
01:02:45First, you have to eat everything I cooked.
01:02:49Done.
01:02:50Second, no more locked rooms.
01:02:53Without me in it.
01:02:58Is that all?
01:03:00Third.
01:03:02You have to mean it this time.
01:03:04I meant it the first time.
01:03:06Just didn't know yet.
01:03:08The rings?
01:03:10Actually.
01:03:10Is that something old?
01:03:18Something new?
01:03:20Something borrowed?
01:03:21Something not one?
01:03:25For better or worse.
01:03:34For real this time.
01:03:38You may kiss the bride.
01:03:39So.
01:03:55Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:03:59What are you...
01:04:00Lauren, help me back.
01:04:04Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:13I don't know.
01:04:15Mr. Thorne.
01:04:19Can you handle them?
01:04:21I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:23How about you just shut up.
01:04:27And kiss your wife.
01:04:28Red dragon.
