00:00:00They say the most primal human things are fighting, and, well, I was about to learn both.
00:00:13Every girl wants to find her prince charming, but unfortunately, we don't exactly live in a fairy tale world.
00:00:20There's no such thing as happily ever after.
00:00:23Where is the duck for table two?
00:00:26Table two ordered something special, chef.
00:00:30Uh, no. Table two ordered the special, and the special is the duck. What is this?
00:00:36Nothing.
00:00:37Yes, exactly. This is nothing. Now, the duck.
00:00:41Just do what your boss says, Lily. You can't afford to lose another job.
00:00:45How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?
00:00:48Table two, the duck.
00:00:54So, I'm thinking about adopting a dog. You know, like the little tiny dogs that can fit in your handbag. That's so cute.
00:01:00So, anyway, once your inheritance is secure, the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:01:04But, what is this mystery clause you won't tell us about, Jack?
00:01:11Jack.
00:01:12Jack.
00:01:13Hello?
00:01:14Yeah, the dog.
00:01:19Hi.
00:01:22Hi.
00:01:22Hi.
00:01:23You ordered the special?
00:01:30Actually, I ordered the...
00:01:31Trust me.
00:01:32Who is that girl?
00:01:35Something about her.
00:01:37It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:39Wow.
00:01:40That was presumptuous.
00:01:41Huh?
00:01:42The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?
00:01:44Don't tell me you're actually impressed with that little slut, Jack.
00:01:47It looks good.
00:01:48The food or the waitress?
00:01:59And what do you think you are doing?
00:02:01I'm making something from this century.
00:02:04You know what?
00:02:04That's it.
00:02:04I've had enough.
00:02:05You are fired.
00:02:06Get out of here.
00:02:07Not this again.
00:02:10What did you say?
00:02:12I'm serious this time.
00:02:13You are fired.
00:02:14You get out of here.
00:02:15What?
00:02:15You take this?
00:02:16You get up your act.
00:02:18You get out.
00:02:18No, please, sir.
00:02:19It won't happen again.
00:02:20No, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy this time.
00:02:22You get out.
00:02:23You leave.
00:02:23Please.
00:02:24No, no.
00:02:25Go ahead.
00:02:25Full call.
00:02:26Man.
00:02:26You're tired.
00:02:29They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:34Yeah, the trash.
00:02:38God.
00:02:39Asshole.
00:02:45Don't scream.
00:03:00Don't scream, babe.
00:03:02Or do you have to scream for me?
00:03:04Please.
00:03:05Hey, wait.
00:03:19Hey, wait.
00:03:19Not now, Warner
00:03:44Jack, my man, Hupasso
00:03:46So I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again
00:03:49When you're going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:52The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever
00:03:53Yeah
00:03:55Yeah, come on, are you even listening?
00:03:58I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing
00:04:00Someone else will
00:04:01And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy
00:04:03Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:05Um
00:04:05How can I help my mom
00:04:09When I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:12Maybe next time
00:04:13Thanks
00:04:16Call me
00:04:18I'll call you back
00:04:19Jack, come on
00:04:20You gotta lock on me
00:04:21Jack's never done that before
00:04:23If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then
00:04:26The Morrison deal's over
00:04:28We're over
00:04:30Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren
00:04:34I've got just the plan
00:04:36Just when I think I've found her
00:04:44She's gone again
00:04:45How am I going to find her again?
00:05:01You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir
00:05:04You out of your mind?
00:05:05Vivian and I are done
00:05:06Never again
00:05:07She's just
00:05:08Business now
00:05:10Very well, sir
00:05:11Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir
00:05:15I'll find another wife
00:05:17I'm afraid not
00:05:18But the
00:05:19Terms of your parents' will are quite specific
00:05:21You must be married before your 32nd birthday
00:05:25For precisely 365 days
00:05:27I know, I know
00:05:28And with that fateful birthday fast approaching
00:05:30There's little time
00:05:31The inheritance must be claimed within the month
00:05:35And most crucially of all
00:05:37You must not tell a soul about the marriage cause
00:05:40Especially your wife
00:05:42Or I lose everything
00:05:44Everything
00:05:46Don't complain about things
00:05:58I don't complain
00:05:59I don't
00:06:00All I'm saying is
00:06:01You're going to have to start living in the real world
00:06:03I am living in the real world
00:06:05Really?
00:06:12Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job
00:06:14Is the real world
00:06:15Creative
00:06:16Differences
00:06:17There are always creative differences with you
00:06:21Lily
00:06:22You've got to open up your own place
00:06:25You're a chef
00:06:26Not a fucking line cook
00:06:27So you've got to show the world what you got
00:06:30Besides
00:06:31I have my share of money
00:06:33But without yours
00:06:35We're never going to be able to afford Mom's operation
00:06:37Yeah
00:06:39It'll be all my fault
00:06:40Lily
00:06:42There is an opening at my office
00:06:47Seriously?
00:06:49It's stable
00:06:50Health insurance
00:06:51401k
00:06:52I'd rather die
00:06:54You'd rather be broke
00:06:55No, I'd rather
00:06:56How can you help Mom
00:07:04When you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:05Fine
00:07:12Yeah
00:07:12You're right
00:07:13Let's do it
00:07:14Hi
00:07:40Name
00:07:43Lily Dunning
00:07:45Can I help you?
00:07:48Yes, I'm here for the job interview
00:07:49My sister's Megan
00:07:50She works here
00:07:52Last place of employment?
00:07:55Chez Francois
00:07:56A restaurant?
00:07:57Yes
00:07:58I'm a chef
00:08:00My passion's cooking
00:08:01So I
00:08:01And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:04No
00:08:04No
00:08:06No, of course not
00:08:07And
00:08:08Why do you think someone like
00:08:10You could work here?
00:08:12Um
00:08:13I just
00:08:13Need a job
00:08:15Sorry
00:08:16I'm
00:08:16Thanks
00:08:17We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:21You can go now
00:08:22Bye-bye
00:08:23Screw this
00:08:33Fuck
00:08:36What are you looking at?
00:08:53I'm sorry, Mom
00:08:55I've tried everything
00:08:57And I've let you down
00:08:58You
00:08:59Me
00:09:03You dropped something
00:09:07How did you?
00:09:13What are you doing here?
00:09:15I have a proposition for you
00:09:16Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits
00:09:21Well, hold on
00:09:22Just
00:09:22Hear me out
00:09:23I heard you get fired
00:09:25I know you don't
00:09:27Have any money
00:09:28Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot
00:09:30I'm doing fine
00:09:32Thank you
00:09:32Really?
00:09:37What if I told you this proposition could
00:09:39Solve
00:09:40All your problems?
00:09:42Really?
00:09:43Solve all my problems?
00:09:46I've got a lot of problems
00:09:47What if I told you I need a wife?
00:09:49I tell you that there are apps for that
00:09:51For one year
00:09:52Classy
00:09:53Look, listen
00:09:54I have a very important business deal
00:09:57With some very important people involved
00:09:59And I need to see stability
00:10:02Okay, so find someone stable
00:10:04Well, that's just it
00:10:05I need someone who won't fall in love with me
00:10:08Someone who will just walk away after the year
00:10:10And you seem uniquely qualified
00:10:14Don't you think I'm good at walking away?
00:10:17Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:25Well, anything you want
00:10:26Money
00:10:27Place to live
00:10:29Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams
00:10:31Just think of it as a business deal
00:10:34Wow, um
00:10:44Yeah, that's a really big diamond
00:10:48It's just a very small part of the deal
00:10:51You'll have your whole wing of the house
00:11:03My own wing?
00:11:06Complete privacy
00:11:06But you will have to attend events with me
00:11:09Play the happy wife
00:11:10This is, um
00:11:33Specific
00:11:36I like clarity
00:11:38Wife agrees to perform
00:11:49Very specific
00:11:55Is there a problem?
00:11:59Jack, we need to talk
00:12:01What's going on here?
00:12:08No
00:12:09I'm saying yes
00:12:16To everything
00:12:27Do you

00:15:45Oh my gosh.
00:16:15Bravo?
00:16:18This is... a lot.
00:16:21Your contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions,
00:16:25including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:27I can't accept this.
00:16:29You can, and you will.
00:16:32Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:39You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:42Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:45Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:57Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:00And then I said, do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:15I don't need a knife. I just need a chainsaw.
00:17:17Oh, okay.
00:17:19Jackie, there you are.
00:17:21Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:24We simply must celebrate.
00:17:27Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:30That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:33I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:39Oh, my God.
00:17:43This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:45I'm sorry, but I didn't even do anything.
00:17:49Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:51Waitestaff training school?
00:17:53Vivian.
00:17:54Oh, that was it.
00:17:57She was actually a waitress.
00:17:59Or, I don't remember, whatever it was.
00:18:02Excuse me.
00:18:04So, what do you guys have?
00:18:09Watch out for the ex.
00:18:15So, as I was saying.
00:18:24Mmm.
00:18:25Hmm.
00:18:34You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:19:04Wow.
00:19:09Good?
00:19:10Surprisingly good.
00:19:12Surprisingly good.
00:19:13Well, payment for spying.
00:19:18Payment accepted.
00:19:20You know, the house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:30I had to make do.
00:19:31Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:33Hmm.
00:19:34It's a shame.
00:19:43You can go now.
00:19:44You, um...
00:19:45Wanted to see me?
00:19:46Time for your first lesson.
00:19:47My what?
00:19:48Self-defense.
00:19:49Never know when you might need it.
00:19:50I don't know if that's really...
00:19:51Number one.
00:19:52Stance.
00:19:53Move the feet apart.
00:19:54Bend this knee.
00:19:55Yeah.
00:19:56Yeah.
00:19:57Then move this foot forward.
00:19:58Yeah.
00:19:59Good.
00:20:00Good.
00:20:01Good.
00:20:02Good.
00:20:03Okay.
00:20:04Good.
00:20:06Good.
00:20:07Good.
00:20:08Good.
00:20:09Good.
00:20:10Good.
00:20:11Good.
00:20:12Good.
00:20:13Good.
00:20:14Good.
00:20:15Good.
00:20:16Good.
00:20:17Good.
00:20:18Good.
00:20:19Good.
00:20:20Good.
00:20:21Good.
00:20:22Good.
00:20:23Good.
00:20:24Good.
00:20:25Good.
00:20:26Good.
00:20:27Good.
00:20:28Good.
00:20:29Good.
00:20:30Good.
00:20:31Good.
00:20:32Good.
00:20:33Good.
00:20:34Good.
00:20:35Good.
00:20:36Good.
00:20:37Good.
00:20:38Good.
00:20:39Good.
00:20:40Good.
00:20:41Good.
00:20:42Good.
00:20:43Good.
00:20:44Good.
00:20:45Good.
00:20:46Good.
00:20:47We're just getting started.
00:20:50Well, maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:55Rule number one, stance, right?
00:21:17Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:31I have a business expense.
00:21:36Business expense.
00:21:39These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:43The best knives are the best chef.
00:21:47Why are you doing this?
00:21:49The contract.
00:21:50No.
00:21:52The real reason.
00:21:55Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:21:59Maybe you just like watching me.
00:22:08You know that, um, this doesn't change anything.
00:22:12Of course not.
00:22:17This is for your mother.
00:22:24This, uh, no, this, this is too much.
00:22:27It should cover the whole thing.
00:22:29They second it.
00:22:31I think that's literally the nicest thing a male has ever done for me.
00:22:37What's the catch?
00:22:40We've got a problem.
00:22:41Morning to you, too.
00:22:42So, the inheritance release date is set, but if anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:22:46No one's gonna find out.
00:22:47Oh, really?
00:22:48Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:22:49It's under control.
00:22:50Is it?
00:22:51It seems like you're letting your feelings control your...
00:22:58I said it's handled.
00:22:59Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:00This Morrison deal?
00:23:01Yeah.
00:23:02No one's gonna find out.
00:23:03No one finds out about the marriage, then?
00:23:04No one's gonna find out.
00:23:05Oh, really?
00:23:06Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:23:07It's under control.
00:23:08Is it?
00:23:09It seems like you're letting your feelings control your...
00:23:12I said it's handled.
00:23:25Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:27This Morrison deal is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:34Don't tell me you're actually fooling.
00:23:35Get out.
00:23:36Wait for that.
00:23:56Get with me.
00:24:00Let's mess with you.
00:25:05Oh, no.
00:25:11God.
00:25:12Jack, darling, fancy seeing you here.
00:25:29Vivian?
00:25:29The 82 crystal.
00:25:32Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:34I can still feel it running down my back just thinking about it.
00:25:38We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:41Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:43You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:46Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:51This must be so boring for you.
00:25:54You're so insightful, Vivian.
00:25:55You do bore me.
00:25:58Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:26:01Why don't you go back to, like, chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:26:05So basically, you know, the company way that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:09I had a business meeting with Hannah today, and she has basically advised me to say that
00:26:13our investments are not making any profit.
00:26:15The company itself isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:18So my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:25Quite the whirlwind romance you've got there.
00:26:40What's the catch?
00:26:42There's always a catch.
00:26:44Excuse me.
00:26:45Rebecca Chen.
00:26:46Social pages.
00:26:48Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:52This must be some kind of record.
00:26:54Though lately I've been more interested in, uh, business deals.
00:26:58Hmm.
00:26:59What would you say?
00:27:01Love at first sight?
00:27:03Or something more contractual?
00:27:06You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:09Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:15We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:18I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:29Oh, the Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.
00:27:31Oh, great.
00:27:32Another dinner.
00:27:34It's important.
00:27:35They're all important.
00:27:36It's a part of the deal.
00:27:38They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:41You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:42Did I?
00:27:44At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:49To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:54Okay, whatever.
00:27:55Nice.
00:28:08Real mature.
00:28:12No, don't.
00:28:14Fuck.
00:28:16Okay.
00:28:17Okay, fine.
00:28:19You want to go?
00:28:20Nope.
00:28:20Nope.
00:28:23No, no.
00:28:24Okay.
00:28:29No.
00:28:29Yeah?
00:28:30Yeah?
00:28:30No, no, no, no.
00:28:31No, no, no.
00:28:31No, no, no, no.
00:28:32No.
00:28:33Let's go.
00:28:34No.
00:28:34No.
00:28:35No
00:28:36Ah
00:28:37Oh
00:29:05Yeah
00:29:09So Jack's inheritance is all set
00:29:16But he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal
00:29:21That's a problem
00:29:23Hmm
00:29:23It's the girl isn't it
00:29:25The waitress
00:29:27You and I both know she's been a problem from the start
00:29:30And I thought you had everything under control
00:29:32Oh I've done my part
00:29:33That's underway
00:29:35And I thought you'd have your part under control
00:29:37I have everything under control
00:29:42Oh really?
00:29:43Because it doesn't seem like it Vivian
00:29:44You know maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack
00:29:47You haven't overestimated anything
00:29:50I've just begun
00:29:51I've got it
00:30:03Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door
00:30:12I live here
00:30:13Of course we do
00:30:15Okay thanks
00:30:18Jack
00:30:20Darling
00:30:21Should we proceed to the study?
00:30:23We need to discuss the Morrison deal
00:30:25Yeah
00:30:26Yeah
00:30:27Oh we need to discuss the Morrison deal
00:30:33Vivian?
00:30:38Remember Tokyo?
00:30:42That sake bar?
00:30:44I'm married
00:30:45Are you now?
00:30:49I hadn't noticed
00:30:51Uh-huh
00:30:52You know that feeling
00:30:54When you leave the house
00:30:56And you just feel like
00:30:58You've forgotten something?
00:31:01I forgot something
00:31:11Maybe you can
00:31:13Help me figure it out
00:31:16Coffee?
00:31:22Oh no thank you
00:31:24Jack and I have much to catch up on
00:31:27Oh
00:31:28And Jack doesn't drink coffee
00:31:30Do you Jack?
00:31:32Actually I've taken it up recently
00:31:33Hmm
00:31:34I guess before me
00:31:35Jack never really had coffee
00:31:36How he liked it
00:31:37And he just
00:31:38Absolutely
00:31:39Laps up
00:31:41Every
00:31:42Drop
00:31:43Of my
00:31:44Coffee
00:31:45Isn't that right?
00:31:49Lily makes a great cup of coffee
00:31:50Hmm
00:31:53So
00:31:56How's Vivian?
00:32:00Focus on your form
00:32:01You know
00:32:03I was just wondering
00:32:04How long the two of you
00:32:06Ancient history
00:32:07That's not what I heard
00:32:09From who?
00:32:11Around
00:32:12Tokyo gets brought up a lot
00:32:15You've been talking to Warren
00:32:17You've been talking to Vivian
00:32:19That's business
00:32:21Everything is business with you isn't it?
00:32:26But you know what?
00:32:31What's this?
00:32:33Some pretty big business
00:32:35That you haven't been sharing with me
00:32:37I think Vivian wants some of it too
00:32:40But you know what?
00:32:44Maybe you should just keep your business
00:32:46To yourself
00:32:47Sad
00:32:49Watch your stance
00:32:51I don't want to be lied to
00:32:58I'm not lying, Lily
00:33:00Don't break my heart
00:33:04Yeah
00:33:07God
00:33:07So
00:33:28Oh
00:33:29Oh
00:33:30Please act like you know me. There's someone following me.
00:33:46Oh my god, are you okay? Who's following you? That weirdo?
00:33:57Is he gone? I think he's gone.
00:34:00You sure?
00:34:15Like that?
00:34:19I think your technique could use some more.
00:34:22I got the dough to rise.
00:34:26You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:30You sure?
00:34:31You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:32You sure?

00:43:00So?
00:43:07Sir, Miss Chase is here. She says it's urgent.
00:43:10Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there. Final deal points.
00:43:15Jack's leaving in 30. I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:20Lily, wait.
00:43:24Just go.
00:43:29The way I can explain.
00:43:58Can you?
00:44:04Guess the business can't wait.
00:44:06This whole thing is...
00:44:17Let me get this straight. You sleep with him and then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:22That's complicated.
00:44:23When isn't it with you?
00:44:24Look, maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:29What? A mistake?
00:44:30That you were right?
00:44:32Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:34No, I want you to be happy.
00:44:37And are you?
00:44:38I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:42I mean, he paid for mom's operation, so that's cool, but I...
00:44:46I know.
00:44:46And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for it.
00:44:55Lily?
00:44:56Stand back.
00:44:57What?
00:44:58Stand back, Megan.
00:45:03Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.
00:45:05What?
00:45:05Lily!
00:45:10Get down, motherfucker!
00:45:11Fucker!
00:45:12What?
00:45:13Oh my god!
00:45:14Fuck you!
00:45:16Come on, let's go.
00:45:21What was that?
00:45:25Lessons with Jack.
00:45:26Jack taught you that?
00:45:29Yeah.
00:45:30Yeah.
00:45:31Dude's getting better by a minute.
00:45:32I know.
00:45:34Oh, man.
00:45:37You okay?
00:45:39Yeah.
00:45:41God, things are supposed to be so simple.
00:45:44Now what?
00:45:46Oh.
00:45:47I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:49Oh, honey.
00:45:50I'm kidding.
00:45:56He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:20Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:36How could you?
00:46:37I'll have in months.
00:46:44Almost a year.
00:46:47I barely knew that that's anymore.
00:46:48Oh, wait, I need to tell you something.
00:47:02I'm all ears.
00:47:04It's about the deal.
00:47:05About Warren, Vivian.
00:47:07Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:11Oh, great.
00:47:12The press.
00:47:13These aren't real.
00:47:24Are we all?
00:47:25Oh, my sister say they're very real.
00:47:28Story runs in 48 hours.
00:47:30Only this is what I was just about to tell you.
00:47:32I've been set up.
00:47:35Care to comment, Mrs. Thorne?
00:47:37You know, it's funny.
00:47:40I, for a minute, I really believed.
00:47:45Louie, wait.
00:47:48They're not real.
00:47:50Take a talk, Mr. Thorne.
00:48:03Louie, wait.
00:48:05They're not real.
00:48:06You have to believe me.
00:48:08Like, I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal.
00:48:12Like, I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague.
00:48:18Like, I believed that last night actually meant something.
00:48:21It did.
00:48:22Only what happened between us was...
00:48:24The transaction.
00:48:26That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:29That's not true.
00:48:30And you know it.
00:48:32Do I?
00:48:32Because from where I'm standing, you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:39You got a wife when you needed one.
00:48:40And a body when you wanted one.
00:48:43Louie, that's not it.
00:48:44Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:45Tell me that there's not something more going on here.
00:48:48With the business deal and your inheritance.
00:48:50Anything more to explain.
00:49:00That's what I thought.
00:49:04You're a terrible person.
00:49:06If you leave now, you violate the contract.
00:49:11You get nothing.
00:49:13I don't care.
00:49:16I never cared about any of that.
00:49:18Hands up.
00:49:38Protect the face.
00:49:40No, don't.
00:49:42Go?
00:49:43Go?
00:49:44Nope.
00:49:44Warren?
00:49:54Finally, look.
00:49:56About the Morrison deal.
00:49:57It's off.
00:49:58What do you mean it's off?
00:50:00All of it.
00:50:01The deal.
00:50:02The inheritance.
00:50:04I don't want any of it.
00:50:05Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:06I mean, everything that we've worked for.
00:50:09Actually,
00:50:09I think I've heard it.
00:50:15I don't want any of it.
00:50:26It's hard for me.
00:50:27You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:48Watch me.
00:50:57Hey, what happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:06The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:09She played.
00:51:10Did she?
00:51:11If that's Jack, I'm sure that's just my octogenarian neighbor who's a total drama queen.
00:51:21Watch.
00:51:22Gladys?
00:51:23Gladys, is that you?
00:51:27Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:34Sir, coffee, I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:43You might want to see this.
00:51:48What am I looking at here?
00:51:50Wire transfers, shell companies, all leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:55More.
00:51:56I knew it.
00:51:57You might want to see these too, sir.
00:51:59They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:02Son of a bitch.
00:52:07He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:09He sure is.
00:52:11To a series of cleverly placed shell companies, although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are
00:52:18not purely financial.
00:52:19Sir?
00:52:20They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:21Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:25Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:26Every meeting, every call.
00:52:27I already compiled, sir.
00:52:28I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:30Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:32Some things are worth more than money.
00:52:33I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:34I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:35I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:36Stop playing their game.
00:52:37Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:39Every meeting, every call.
00:52:40I already compiled, sir.
00:52:42I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:43Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:45Some things are worth more than money.
00:53:00I'm coming back, Megan.
00:53:06Fuck.
00:53:36I got us into this, I can get us out of this, I can do this, I can do this.
00:53:58Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.
00:54:03And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:54:06If anything happens to her, that's up to you.
00:54:10Sign the papers.
00:54:12And this all goes away.
00:54:16Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.
00:54:22Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved, don't they?
00:54:27I always knew you were soft.
00:54:29But this, throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef.
00:54:33He's not throwing it away.
00:54:36He's giving it to us.
00:54:39All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:42You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:45Always have.
00:54:50I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:52Hmm.
00:54:53Wait.
00:54:55Wait.
00:54:55No.
00:55:01Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:16Remember your training.
00:55:21Protect your face.
00:55:28Megan!
00:55:29Lenny!
00:55:33Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:36Come on.
00:55:37Come on.
00:55:37Come on.
00:55:39Come on.
00:55:39Of course it's a trap.
00:55:46The question is, what are you going to do about it?
00:55:52Lily!
00:55:52I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:55:58Room 115.
00:56:00Lauren's called the police.
00:56:01Already done.
00:56:02But, sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:04She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:12No, no, no, no, no.
00:56:15Lauren, she's there.
00:56:16Lily's there.
00:56:17Hold on, Lily.
00:56:22Hold on.
00:56:36Leave her alone!
00:56:38Shut up!
00:56:40Get away from my wife!
00:56:42Well, well.
00:56:44Hero arrives.
00:56:47Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:51I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:54That's my girl.
00:57:02Oh.
00:57:04I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:15That's for my sister.
00:57:17You son of a bitch.
00:57:22Lily.
00:57:24Lily.
00:57:26About everything.
00:57:28The photos.
00:57:29Vivian.
00:57:30Now?
00:57:31Seriously?
00:57:32I love you.
00:57:34Not for any inheritance.
00:57:36Not for any deal.
00:57:39Just...
00:57:40you.
00:57:42I know.
00:57:43You.
00:57:52Stay right there.
00:57:54Come on.
00:57:55Cuff him.
00:58:06What the hell?
00:58:07What the hell?
00:58:07This isn't...
00:58:11Possible.
00:58:15And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.
00:58:18Sign the papers.
00:58:19Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:21That proves nothing.
00:58:23I think it might prove something.
00:58:24Yeah, and those photos that you planted?
00:58:26Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:28You can't.
00:58:29Yes, they can.
00:58:31And you two are under arrest.
00:58:34Help.
00:58:36Your greatness, Jack.
00:58:37The inheritance, they...
00:58:38Are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:40You pit upon it all, Jack.
00:58:41I do.
00:58:52Yes, thank you.
00:58:54Thanks.
00:58:58Now that's a story.
00:59:04Here to twist the knife?
00:59:06Actually...
00:59:06I'm here to get it right.
00:59:10Where did you...
00:59:11Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:13Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:17So, no scandal piece?
00:59:20Oh, there's definitely a scandal.
00:59:23But, not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:29That's...
00:59:29Actually accurate.
00:59:31I'm a reporter.
00:59:32Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:35Though, I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:39Yeah, neither did they.
00:59:42Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:44Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:53It'll be about the inheritance.
00:59:55You really think that I care about any of that now?
01:00:01Just take me home.
01:00:03Yes, dear.
01:00:14Sun's coming up.
01:00:16Must be a new record.
01:00:19It is for me.
01:00:21Any regrets?
01:00:24Only one.
01:00:24That I didn't get your chef's specials sooner.
01:00:29Could have saved us a lot of trouble.
01:00:31Yeah.
01:00:32Ow.
01:00:35Excuse me, sir.
01:00:36Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:39How bad is it?
01:00:40Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:43She's included the last bit you wanted to put in.
01:00:45Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:00:59In 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.
01:01:09Surprised?
01:01:13But your inheritance is gone.
01:01:16Well, the inheritance, yeah.
01:01:19But turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:21You sold the company?
01:01:23Turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:25Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:43Keep them thin, okay?
01:01:43Just like that.
01:01:55This looks good on you.
01:02:02And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:06Suckers.
01:02:07Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:10It depends.
01:02:12Did my wife make it?
01:02:14The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:17Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:25Hang on.
01:02:33Voila.
01:02:38And the best chef in town.
01:02:41You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:45I think that contract expired.
01:02:48Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:55We are gathered here today.
01:02:58No more business deals this time.
01:03:01Just love.
01:03:02Good.
01:03:04Because I have some terms of my own.
01:03:07First, you have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:11Done.
01:03:13Second, no more locked rooms.
01:03:18Without me in it.
01:03:21Is that all?
01:03:23Third.
01:03:25You have to meet it this time?
01:03:27I met it the first time.
01:03:29Just didn't know you.
01:03:31The rings?
01:03:33Actually.
01:03:39Is that?
01:03:40Something old.
01:03:41Something new.
01:03:43Something borrowed.
01:03:44Something...
01:03:47Not one.
01:03:47For better or worse.
01:03:57For real this time.
01:04:01You make his the bright.
01:04:02So.
01:04:18Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:22What are you...
01:04:24Lauren, help me back.
01:04:27Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:36I don't know.
01:04:38Mr. Thorne.
01:04:42Can you handle them?
01:04:44I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:47How about you just shut up and kiss your wife?
01:04:51I don't know.
01:04:51I don't know.
01:04:52I don't know.
