00:00:00If this were a rom-com, how would it go?
00:00:05Well, since you're my boss, you'd obviously have to be a workaholic.
00:00:18And I'm an impressionable, underpaid assistant who just moved to the city.
00:00:23You forced me to be your girlfriend, to trick your parents.
00:00:32My father doesn't think that I'm serious enough to keep the division.
00:00:36And I hate every second of it.
00:00:39Are you enjoying the view?
00:00:41But then, helping you trick your parents lets me see you on a deeper level.
00:00:48And then what happens?
00:00:53Oh, my God.
00:01:23Oh, my God.
00:01:25Oh, fuck.
00:01:25Don't get distracted now, mister.
00:01:27Stop talking.
00:01:30Brenna Wolf.
00:01:31You had better be yawning from the back of an Uber, mister.
00:01:34What?
00:01:35Oh, fuck.
00:01:36Kate's engagement party.
00:01:37You were supposed to remind me.
00:01:39I left 14 sticky notes on your desk.
00:01:42God damn it, you cannot be late to this.
00:01:44Who's that, big boy?
00:01:45Please tell me this one doesn't think she's got a shot with you.
00:01:49Um, she's from Portugal?
00:01:51She knows this is just a flame.
00:01:52You're cheating on me with someone from Portugal?
00:01:55On, uh, second thought, uh, Grace, you're gonna have to handle this for me.
00:01:59I'm calling the car.
00:02:00Shower off your bad decisions and get in.
00:02:04Okay.
00:02:05Ugh.
00:02:06Ugh.
00:02:07Oh.
00:02:08This was fun, Nadia.
00:02:10But, uh, it's time for you to go.
00:02:12You can see yourself out, can't you?
00:02:14Oh.
00:02:14Ugh.
00:02:27Whoa.
00:02:28Whoa.
00:02:28Whoa.
00:02:32You know, you really should start watching where you're going.
00:02:37One of these days you're gonna end up smeared across the hood of some Mercedes.
00:02:39It's so nice to see you, too.
00:02:45Oh.
00:02:46How do I look?
00:02:51Perfect.
00:02:53I mean, fine.
00:02:55Good.
00:02:56You look good.
00:02:57I'm just glad you made it.
00:03:01Shall we?
00:03:02Mm-hmm.
00:03:03You know I've only ever met your family on the phone.
00:03:06Yeah.
00:03:06You'll see why.
00:03:07You know how much shit my father's going to give me now that I'm the only single wolf.
00:03:30Brennan!
00:03:32Oh, God.
00:03:34Deal with that.
00:03:35Please.
00:03:35Please.
00:03:37Help me, isn't it?
00:03:40Look, it's nothing personal, but Brennan...
00:03:42You.
00:03:44You're the little assistant that's been keeping us apart.
00:03:47Because what?
00:03:48You think you have a shot with him?
00:03:50Whore?
00:03:52No, our relationship is strictly professional.
00:03:54It's pathetic.
00:03:56Give it up, sweetheart.
00:03:57He's not interested.
00:03:59You're just the girl who gives him his coffee.
00:04:01Okay.
00:04:15Well, look who it is, big bro.
00:04:19Kate.
00:04:21Congratulations on all of this.
00:04:23It's great.
00:04:25I really do feel blessed.
00:04:28Marrying the love of my life soon.
00:04:31My division is killing it.
00:04:33Have you seen our projections?
00:04:35Yeah.
00:04:36You know, I could give you some pointers.
00:04:40I saw your numbers.
00:04:432% growth is not going to cut it.
00:04:45Not when Dad is in slashing mode.
00:04:49Oh, you haven't heard?
00:04:51At next month's board meeting.
00:04:53If you're not caught up.
00:04:54Oh, but don't worry.
00:05:00I'm sure you'll find something.
00:05:05Maybe Mickey D's is hiring.
00:05:08You do look good in yellow.
00:05:13Now, if you don't mind, I have well-wishers to greet.
00:05:18Excuse me.
00:05:20Office, now.
00:05:32But we just got here.
00:05:33Now.
00:05:40So, the whole division's just gone?
00:05:44No, because you're going to get an action plan on my desk by tomorrow.
00:05:48Tomorrow is Saturday.
00:05:49Mr. Wolf.
00:05:54I'm Howard Bernstein from the Bernstein Corporation.
00:05:57Now, I know we didn't have a meeting set up, but I have a potential business opportunity for you.
00:06:02All scheduling needs to go through now.
00:06:03Mr. Wolf.
00:06:05I really think we should discuss this.
00:06:11Oh!
00:06:13Apologize to my assistant.
00:06:15Or the next meeting you take will be from a hospital bed.
00:06:17Oh, jeez!
00:06:18Okay, all right!
00:06:21God, okay, I'm sorry!
00:06:23I'm sorry!
00:06:26Now, you.
00:06:28Action plan.
00:06:296 p.m. tomorrow.
00:06:30And you get the fuck out of here and leave my assistant alone.
00:06:35You, sir, are a brute.
00:06:37Again?
00:06:47What is it?
00:06:48Ms. Reynolds, I'm calling you as your mother's next of kin.
00:06:52Unfortunately, this call is to provide you with a time of death.
00:06:55Sorry.
00:06:56Excuse me.
00:06:57Time of death?
00:06:59Ms. Reynolds, your mother is dead.
00:07:01Grace, I need you to get a hold of Miller at the end.
00:07:18What is it?
00:07:21My mother's dead.
00:07:26Grace, are you serious?
00:07:27Okay.
00:07:30Sorry, you said that we need Miller?
00:07:33You need me to call Jordan Miller?
00:07:35Grace, don't worry about that.
00:07:36You need to go.
00:07:38No, no, I can't.
00:07:39No, I can't.
00:07:39We've got...
00:07:40I'm telling you as your boss.
00:07:42You need to go.
00:07:42Why are you going back to work?
00:08:10Didn't Brendan give you like a whole month off?
00:08:13Yeah, but he needs me.
00:08:19Look, I know you're desperately in love with this man, but he...
00:08:22I am not.
00:08:29Okay, fine.
00:08:32I love him.
00:08:34Are you happy?
00:08:35I've loved him for five fucking years, and he does not give a shit about me.
00:08:43I give him all of my waking hours.
00:08:46I get rid of his hookups.
00:08:48I even check the security cameras on my phone every day because he doesn't trust the alarm company.
00:08:56You don't want him taking advantage of you, then don't let him.
00:08:59You deserve love, not dirty work.
00:09:02Two percent growth in this economy is impressive, above industry standard.
00:09:11Kate's division saw eight percent last month alone.
00:09:14Well, why don't we ask the IRS about Kate's growth?
00:09:19One of these days, that behavior's going to come back to bite her in the ass.
00:09:21It's not just business.
00:09:24Kate's a serious person.
00:09:25She's settling down, and you're still in the tabloids.
00:09:29With floozies.
00:09:31Ever since Dulce...
00:09:32This has nothing to do with my personal life.
00:09:35I am more than capable of this.
00:09:37You want your division?
00:09:38Show me you're serious.
00:09:39Otherwise, I'll be making my recommendation to the board.
00:09:43I've got to go.
00:09:43Grace, what are you doing here?
00:09:56I thought you were still on bereavement.
00:10:02What is this?
00:10:04This is me.
00:10:07Quitting.
00:10:13No.
00:10:16Absolutely not.
00:10:19Excuse me?
00:10:20Look, if you still need more time to grieve, I understand.
00:10:23This is not about my mother.
00:10:27Brennan, I need a fresh start.
00:10:30I cannot keep going around in circles with you.
00:10:34These last five years, I have been torturing myself, trying to get you to see that...
00:10:42It doesn't matter.
00:10:44I'm done.
00:10:51No.
00:10:52You're not.
00:10:54You're still under contract for another year.
00:10:56What kind of leader would I be if I just let my employees leave just because they wanted to...
00:11:01Have a fresh start?
00:11:04Do you want to do this the hard way, Brennan?
00:11:08Okay.
00:11:09Fine.
00:11:13I need to speak with one of your attorneys, please.
00:11:19No, any one of them is fine.
00:11:20What the fuck?
00:11:25What are you doing?
00:11:27Look.
00:11:27I'll allow you to quit under one condition.
00:11:33You become my girlfriend.
00:11:38Excuse me?
00:11:39Look, my father doesn't think that I'm serious enough to keep the division.
00:11:44He and my mom are coming this weekend to stay with me for Kate's wedding and...
00:11:48Well, I just...
00:11:48I need to prove to him that I'm done fucking around.
00:11:52Are you?
00:11:55Right.
00:11:55I didn't think so.
00:11:57So ask Naomi.
00:11:59Or Miss Portugal.
00:12:01Anyone.
00:12:02There's a line of girls a mile long who'd be happy to help you.
00:12:05But Grace, you're the only one that I trust.
00:12:12Look, if you do this for me, avoid your contract.
00:12:17And then you can go and do whatever it is that you want with a glowing recommendation from myself.
00:12:21I can't do this anymore, Brennan.
00:12:26I can't keep doing your dirty work.
00:12:29I deserve better.
00:12:31I deserve to...
00:12:32Grace!
00:12:34I need you.
00:12:41It's just for the weekend.
00:12:43Right?
00:12:45Just for your parents.
00:12:49Fine.
00:12:51Stay for the weekend.
00:12:53And then I'm gone.
00:13:01What the hell?
00:13:04What was that?
00:13:06Practice.
00:13:06Practice.
00:13:21Brennan?
00:13:25Okay.
00:13:26You can do this.
00:13:27You just have to get through this weekend, and then you can forget about Brennan Wolfe for good.
00:13:31Hey, babe.
00:13:45Settling in?
00:13:47Hmm?
00:13:48Feel free to use any open space.
00:13:52Just don't go to my side or get into any of my stuff.
00:13:57You know, you don't seem to use your closet much.
00:14:00Are you enjoying the view?
00:14:10Wait.
00:14:10Wait.
00:14:10Here.
00:14:11What is this?
00:14:11What is this?
00:14:12Well, your wardrobe is passable as my assistant, but my girlfriend would never wear this.
00:14:30First thing in the morning, go and get yourself a new wardrobe.
00:14:34$100,000 max.
00:14:36$100,000?
00:14:39No, I can't do that.
00:14:42No, just think of it as a bonus.
00:14:47Fine.
00:14:47It's getting late.
00:14:50I think I'm going to turn in.
00:14:54Do you mind?
00:14:56Most, uh, long-term couples share a bedroom.
00:15:11Absolutely not.
00:15:13Look, my parents get in tomorrow.
00:15:15We have to make this thing look real, at least.
00:15:18Okay, then tomorrow you're welcome to the floor.
00:15:22Until then, find another bedroom.
00:15:24There's like 50 in this place.
00:15:27Fine.
00:15:28You win.
00:15:31But I'll be downstairs watching a movie if you can't sleep.
00:15:38How about a rom-com?
00:15:42Sure.
00:15:47I don't want to do that.
00:16:03And I want you now.
00:16:08Then what are you waiting for?
00:16:09Well, I think that's my cue.
00:16:30Good night, Brennan.
00:16:31I think I'm only in love with you.
00:16:37I know you don't have to say anything.
00:16:39I just...
00:16:39I wanted you to know.
00:16:52Brennan?
00:16:52What are you doing here?
00:17:03What are you doing here?
00:17:12So smooth.
00:17:13I can't take a trip.
00:17:26Good night.
00:17:35Wow
00:17:46You look
00:17:49Nice
00:17:51Thanks
00:17:54They're here
00:18:03Prepare yourself
00:18:04Brenny
00:18:08Oh my goodness
00:18:13This must be Grace
00:18:16Brennan
00:18:17She is absolutely darling
00:18:21No wonder you've been keeping her all to yourself
00:18:26Still, you might have mentioned her at some point
00:18:31Oh, that'll be Kate
00:18:36She's here for dinner
00:18:38Oh, um, I didn't realize she'd be joining us
00:18:42Oh, well I wanted to include everyone
00:18:45The whole family
00:18:46Sweetheart
00:18:53Oh, come here, honey bunny
00:18:55I still can't believe you finally tamed my brother
00:19:01How'd you do it?
00:19:07I was in Soho
00:19:08Oh
00:19:09Don't tell me you met in a bar
00:19:12No, of course we didn't meet at a bar
00:19:17Do you want to tell them, baby?
00:19:19Or should I?
00:19:21Um, you tell it, sweetheart
00:19:24I'll tell
00:19:26I used to work for Cross & Co
00:19:29I know, I know, your biggest rivals
00:19:32Brennan and I hated each other
00:19:35Always stealing clients and competing
00:19:38But
00:19:39I always thought he was
00:19:41Cute
00:19:42One day, we were pitching the same client
00:19:45We were coming out of the building
00:19:47When I took a step out into the road without looking
00:19:49I know, I know
00:19:51It's a terrible habit that I have
00:19:52A car came barreling down the road at me
00:19:55And before I knew it
00:19:56I felt a pair of strong arms pull me back
00:19:58And when I opened my eyes
00:20:00I found myself staring up at your son
00:20:03How could I hate him after that?
00:20:06And as they say
00:20:09The rest is history
00:20:10And, uh, I've been saving her from traffic
00:20:19Ever since
00:20:20Wow
00:20:22Oh my gosh
00:20:24That sounds like something straight out of a movie
00:20:28Doesn't it, honey?
00:20:30Hmm
00:20:30Almost too good to be true
00:20:33I tell you to get serious
00:20:36And then you pick some random girl up off the street
00:20:39And suddenly you're
00:20:40You're in love?
00:20:42Samuel
00:20:43You've always been this way
00:20:45Always taking the easy way out
00:20:47Content to settle in the middle
00:20:50Coasting along on your name and your money
00:20:53You have no idea what you're talking about
00:20:55Brennan cares more about his company than anyone I've ever met
00:21:01He's dedicated and conscientious
00:21:03And he's
00:21:04Sam
00:21:08Dinner and a show
00:21:15Lucky me
00:21:16Thanks for the fun
00:21:18Night
00:21:19Brennan
00:21:32I
00:21:33I have some contracts to go over
00:21:34Excuse me
00:21:36Oh, Mrs. Wolfe
00:21:52I'm so sorry
00:21:54I don't know what came over me
00:21:56I was completely out of line
00:21:58And I want to apologize
00:21:59Grace, I love my husband
00:22:02But he's always been too hard on Brennan
00:22:04Thank you so much for defending him
00:22:07I can tell
00:22:11You really do care for him
00:22:13I do
00:22:16Nightcap?
00:22:29I thought you were mad at me
00:22:34No, I
00:22:35I just thank you
00:22:41For standing up for me tonight
00:22:43I don't think it really
00:22:48Helped our cause
00:22:49I think your dad hates me
00:22:52But my mom loves you
00:22:56And so it cancels out
00:22:57You were really good
00:23:01I'm sure they'll buy it
00:23:03How are you so good at this?
00:23:09At what?
00:23:11At pretending to be in love
00:23:13Well
00:23:17My mom and I used to watch rom-coms
00:23:22It was kind of our thing
00:23:24I remember
00:23:27She would always tell me
00:23:29Don't kid yourself
00:23:31Real guys will always let you down
00:23:34But rom-com guys are forever
00:23:36Anyway, I guess
00:23:40What I meant was
00:23:41I may not be good
00:23:44At real love
00:23:46But
00:23:46I'm great at rom-coms
00:23:49Plus, I mean
00:23:52Some of that is true
00:23:52You are always saving me from traffic
00:23:54Grace
00:24:01You must really miss your mom
00:24:04I'm so sorry
00:24:07Yeah
00:24:13It's hard
00:24:16To lose the one person in the world
00:24:20Who
00:24:20Makes it all make sense
00:24:23Yeah
00:24:26Trust me
00:24:28I get it
00:24:30You lost someone?
00:24:34I thought I'd know everything about you
00:24:36Not everything
00:24:40Do you
00:24:42Do you want to talk about it?
00:24:50I
00:24:51I don't know if I
00:24:55Can
00:24:57It's
00:24:58It's okay
00:24:59You can tell me
00:25:01Maybe
00:25:14Maybe
00:25:15Maybe some other time
00:25:16So
00:25:20If this were a rom-com
00:25:24How would it go?
00:25:26It's very funny
00:25:30No, I'm
00:25:32I'm actually being serious
00:25:33Okay
00:25:39Well
00:25:42Since you're
00:25:44My boss
00:25:45You'd
00:25:47Obviously have to be
00:25:48A workaholic
00:25:50And
00:25:51I'm
00:25:52An impressionable
00:25:53Underpaid assistant
00:25:55Who just moved to the city
00:25:56I'm not seeing
00:25:57The fiction there
00:25:58So
00:26:01You force me
00:26:03To be your girlfriend
00:26:04To trick your parents
00:26:05And
00:26:06I hate
00:26:07Every second of it
00:26:09You know

00:38:16We have to make this look real.
00:38:18I mean, if I hadn't kissed you, it would...
00:38:19No, I mean, you're running away from me like I bit you.
00:38:22Come on, you said you were going to start pulling your weight.

00:38:29Oh, nothing.
00:38:31Just the photo shoot.
00:38:32Brandon, you've got a little carry-
00:38:33Wait.
00:38:35What's that?
00:38:37Family tradition.
00:38:39No, Kate.
00:38:41Consider it an early wedding present to me.
00:38:44Me and Alec versus you guys.
00:38:47Come on.
00:38:48We never got to play with Dulcy.
00:38:53Who's Dulcy?
00:38:54You haven't told her?
00:38:58Look, that's none of your business, Kate.
00:39:03Fine.
00:39:04Game on.
00:39:08All right.
00:39:09It's easy.
00:39:11Hers means you have to answer questions about Brennan.
00:39:13His means he has to answer questions about you.
00:39:16Each correct answer gets a point.
00:39:18Whoever gets the most points wins.
00:39:20Are you ready to lose?
00:39:26How bad can it be?
00:39:27It's not like we're strangers.
00:39:29Let's start with a question for the boys.
00:39:32All right.
00:39:32First question.
00:39:34What is your partner's go-to lunch?
00:39:36What is your partner's go-to lunch?
00:39:49Okay.
00:39:50And three, two, one, flip.
00:39:52Oh, come on.
00:39:59The amount of times I picked that sandwich up for you at work.
00:40:03When I was surprising you.
00:40:06Great.
00:40:08Everybody gets a point.
00:40:10Grace, you pull.
00:40:12Another boy's question.
00:40:13When did your partner lose their virginity?
00:40:31Three, two, one, flip.
00:40:36Okay, this is scary.
00:40:38You know me too well.
00:40:40That's the idea, babe.
00:40:42Alec, baby, it's you.
00:40:49Now it's about the girlies.
00:40:52What's your partner's favorite band?
00:41:05Three, two, one, flip.
00:41:12Katy Perry?
00:41:14What the hell is Blood Orange Grove?
00:41:21Brennan, you're up.
00:41:42All right.
00:41:50Last question.
00:41:55What is your partner's favorite movie genre?
00:41:57And he gets a point.
00:42:06Finally, his first one.
00:42:08That makes 16 for the lovebirds and 37 for me and Alec.
00:42:15Match made in heaven, baby.
00:42:16You remember you quit, right?
00:42:32You don't have to keep working for me.
00:42:35Yeah, well, who else is going to check the security cameras for you?
00:42:38Grace, I know you're upset.
00:42:50But it's just a stupid game, right?
00:42:54It doesn't matter.
00:42:56I think I'm going to turn in.
00:42:59Night.
00:43:00No, Grace.
00:43:02Look, I'm trying.
00:43:04Here.
00:43:04Okay, you can't just shut me out.
00:43:09Talk to me.
00:43:11There's nothing to say, Brennan.
00:43:14Look, you're right.
00:43:16None of this matters.
00:43:20After this weekend, we'll go our separate ways and back to reality.
00:43:26Speaking of, I drafted a list of replacement assistants.
00:43:31It should be in your email.
00:43:32No, if you'll excuse me.
00:43:37Grace.
00:43:38Grace.
00:43:38Grace.
00:44:02I'm sure he's not hiding anything.
00:44:22Maybe she's just an old friend or something.
00:44:24But it's not just that.
00:44:27The other day, we were playing this couples game, and he didn't know anything about me.
00:44:34I've made his life perfect for years, and he couldn't even bother to learn my favorite band.
00:44:39I know it's hard, but clearly he cares about you.
00:44:43I mean, he brought you home to meet his parents.
00:44:45I'm sure he didn't do that with all the other girls.
00:44:47I need to tell you something.
00:44:53I need to tell you something.
00:44:53I don't know.
00:45:17i thought maybe he was starting to fall for me for real i mean we kissed a couple of times
00:45:28and the other morning i woke up and he was holding me

00:47:56Mom, what are you doing up?
00:47:59I have something for you.
00:48:02I wanted to give it to you earlier.
00:48:04But I just wanted to let you know how happy I am that you and Grace have found each other.
00:48:10It's just been so long since Dulcy, and I was beginning to worry you'd never find it again.
00:48:18Mom, I...
00:48:19It's okay.
00:48:21You deserve to feel love again.
00:48:24And I know now might not be the right time, but I wanted to give you this.
00:48:37Your father proposed to me with it.
00:48:40And when the time comes, maybe you could propose to Grace with it.
00:48:45It just, it feels so much like last time.
00:48:55Mom, what if that means that it's all going to fall apart again?
00:48:59It's okay, sweetie.
00:49:01That feeling is fear.
00:49:03And all that means is that it's real.
00:49:07You said you needed to see me?
00:49:25Now who needs reminding that I quit?
00:49:26Look, there's something I want to tell you.
00:49:32I, uh...
00:49:33I want you to be my girlfriend.
00:49:35It feels like we've covered this.
00:49:41No.
00:49:42I mean, like, for real, this time.
00:49:48What did you just say?
00:49:49I've been an idiot.
00:49:52All right?
00:49:53I've taken you for granted, and these last few days have made me realize I can't live without you.
00:49:59Rather, I don't want to.
00:50:01I want to make us official.
00:50:08What do you say?
00:50:17Wait.
00:50:25If I could live anywhere in the world, where would I live?
00:50:31Uh, what?
00:50:32I...
00:50:32Who's my hero?
00:50:36I...
00:50:37What's my mother's name?
00:50:39What's my favorite childhood memory?
00:50:42What are my favorite hobbies?
00:50:45Where am I from?
00:50:48You say you can't live without me, Brennan.
00:50:51No, you can't live without what I do for you.
00:50:54Besides the fact that I make your life easier, you don't know anything about me.
00:51:01I know that you're kind.
00:51:11I know that you're not afraid to stand up for people you care about.
00:51:17That you love your mom.
00:51:21That you're an extremely hard worker.
00:51:24I know that you make me feel safe and happy and good.
00:51:39And if you give me a chance, I'll learn the rest.
00:51:45Please.
00:51:47Grace.
00:51:48Grace.

00:53:34Hmm.

00:53:56Yeah.
00:53:57What about you?
00:53:58I don't know.
00:53:59Oh, come on.
00:54:00Don't tell me you haven't thought about it.
00:54:01I mean, doesn't every single one of those rom-coms have some sort of clichΓ© fairytale wedding.
00:54:02I guess I never imagined it because I'm not going to be the same thing.
00:54:03I don't know.
00:54:04It's very romantic.
00:54:05It's very romantic.
00:54:06Yeah.
00:54:07It's very romantic.
00:54:08Yeah.
00:54:09What about you?
00:54:10I don't know.
00:54:11Oh, come on.
00:54:12Don't tell me you haven't thought about it.
00:54:13I mean, doesn't every single one of those rom-coms have some sort of clichΓ© fairytale wedding?
00:54:26I guess I never imagined it because I've never been in love before.
00:54:34All the guys I've been with haven't... something hasn't felt right.
00:54:39It's like I've been waiting for someone.
00:54:48What about you?
00:54:49What about me?
00:54:51Have you ever been in love?
00:54:55Excuse me.
00:54:59Do you mind if I borrow my son for a moment?
00:55:02Be my guest.
00:55:09Time to pay the piper, bro.
00:55:25What the fuck is this?
00:55:27Kate.
00:55:28The other night, I went down to get a drink of water, and that's when I heard your so-called girlfriend saying something very interesting to her little friend.
00:55:41She's not your girlfriend after all, is she?
00:55:44Look, Dad, I don't know what she-
00:55:46No more of your lies, son.
00:55:48And do not ask your mother to intervene.
00:55:50I knew this was wrong from the get-go.
00:55:53Now I have proof.
00:55:55I'll be meeting with the board on Monday morning, and then you'll begin the process of transferring your division's assets over to-
00:56:03Wait!
00:56:05Look.
00:56:06I don't know what Kate heard, or thinks she heard, but what Grace and I have is real.
00:56:13I swear.
00:56:16I'll prove it.
00:56:18Do not ask your mother to intervene.
00:56:24Do not ask your mother.
00:56:29Do not ask your mother to scare me.
00:56:30Wait!
00:56:31Do not ask your father to surrender.
00:56:33Oh, hey, hold on.
00:56:35I'm ready for the last time and tight.
00:56:38Hi too!
00:56:39Excuse me, everyone.
00:56:46Excuse me, may I please just have a moment of your time?
00:56:50And will my lovely girlfriend, Grace Reynolds, please join me?
00:56:54Grace, I've known you for a very long time, honestly feels like forever.
00:57:16And recently, something's changed and I've realized just how deep my love for you runs.
00:57:21And now I'd like to formalize that love.
00:57:39My father gave my mother this ring 30 years ago.
00:57:42And through all the hardships they've endured, this ring has remained a symbol of their enduring love.
00:57:48Yesterday, my mother gave it to me.
00:57:51And today, I'd like to give it to you.
00:57:54Grace Reynolds, will you do me the honors of making me the happiest man on earth?
00:58:01And allow me to be your husband.
00:58:14Yes.
00:58:15Grace, I'll marry you.
00:58:17I'll marry you.
00:58:20I need to talk to you.
00:58:45Grace, I know, I know, but my father and Kate, they were circling me and...
00:58:52You will solve my contract today.
00:58:55I'll stay with you publicly until your father agrees to leave your division alone, but then I'm gone.
00:59:01And I never want to see you again.
00:59:02Grace, this was a mistake.
00:59:19But I put a stop to it.
00:59:20I promise, nothing happened.
00:59:22Grace, you've been my assistant for five years.
00:59:34You know me.
00:59:36Grace, you know everything about me.
00:59:40Not everything.
00:59:42What's that supposed to mean?
00:59:45Who's Dulcy?
00:59:47This is personal.
00:59:51Well, you just asked me to marry you, so what's yours is mine, right, honey?
00:59:58Who is she?
00:59:59Nothing to say.
01:00:07Well, it doesn't matter.
01:00:09Because I'm done.
01:00:10I'm done.
01:00:29Grace.
01:00:37Oh, thank God.
01:00:40What is this?
01:00:42Where am I?
01:00:46What's wrong with me?
01:00:49Grace, just calm down, okay?
01:00:51You're going to hurt yourself.
01:00:53You were hit by a car.
01:00:56What?
01:00:57You've got a spinal injury.
01:01:00And, well, you're suffering from paralysis.
01:01:03But it's only temporary.
01:01:05The doctor said that you'll walk again.
01:01:06You just...
01:01:07Your body needs time to recover.
01:01:10I should be in a hospital.
01:01:13Grace, we have the very best doctors on retainer.
01:01:17Mom, can Grace and I just have a moment, please?
01:01:20Of course.
01:01:22But if you need anything, just call.
01:01:24I'll be in the next room.
01:01:27Grace, when I saw you outside on the street, I was so fucking scared.
01:01:39I thought I'd lost you.
01:01:40Lost your little prop, you mean.
01:01:44How could you say that?
01:01:45Do you really think I don't care about you?
01:01:48Brennan, if your father wasn't in the picture, would you have even asked me out?
01:01:53I...
01:01:56I...
01:01:57Yeah.
01:01:59I didn't think so.
01:02:01You can keep trying to trick yourself into thinking that you care about me, but this whole time you were just playing pretend.
01:02:08I'll stay here until I can walk again, but...
01:02:11We're over.
01:02:12We're over.
01:02:13Grayson.
01:02:21Okay.
01:02:22Whatever you want.
01:02:23Whatever you want.
01:02:42That's not true.
01:02:43Angela, I love you.
01:02:48Love isn't a single tender thought about me in the middle of the night, Xavier.
01:02:52I know that.
01:02:53I thought you might be hungry.
01:03:04I made lasagna.
01:03:06Belle told me it was your favorite.
01:03:09Can I at least leave it by your bed?
01:03:14Okay.
01:03:14Okay.
01:03:14Okay.
01:03:23Let me see it.
01:03:31Let me see it.
01:03:33All right, you're okay, but...
01:03:34It's just cramping because you've been in the bed so long.
01:03:38It just needs to be massaged.
01:03:41Just...
01:03:42Just fucking do it.
01:03:45Okay.
01:03:47Breathe.
01:03:49Breathe into it.
01:03:51Right there.
01:03:53Breathe.
01:03:54Steady.
01:03:57Calm.
01:03:58Slow it down.
01:04:00Breathe.
01:04:11You can stop.
01:04:19Of course.
01:04:23You're good at that.
01:04:27Yeah.
01:04:29I got quite a bit of experience.
01:04:34You know, I think it's time...
01:04:37I told you about Dulcy.
01:04:38She was my fiancΓ©e.
01:04:50You were engaged?
01:04:53Yeah.
01:04:56We were young.
01:04:59She was a free spirit.
01:05:01In love with the world.
01:05:03And I admired that.
01:05:04Honestly, I wanted to be just like her.
01:05:10I asked her to marry me after two weeks.
01:05:12A month after the engagement,
01:05:21we got the diagnosis.
01:05:26And six months later, I buried her.
01:05:31We never got to walk down the aisle.
01:05:33I'm so sorry, Brennan.
01:05:39So I just...
01:05:39I pushed down my emotions and drowned myself in girlfriends and one-night stands, but nothing
01:05:47worked.
01:05:50And I thought, if I fell in love again, that something terrible would happen.
01:05:55And I was right.
01:05:56What are you saying?
01:06:03Are you saying you love me?
01:06:06Grace,
01:06:07how could I not love you?
01:06:10Look, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness or your love.
01:06:24But please, let me take care of you like you've taken care of me for so long.
01:06:33Just until you recover.
01:06:36Then you can go.
01:06:37Fuck, Belle.
01:06:46That hurts.
01:06:47That's good.
01:06:49Dr. Hurt says that's a good sign.
01:06:51It means you're getting your feeling back.
01:07:04Hey, you know what you're going to tell him?
01:07:05I think he means what he said.
01:07:09But it took him forever to be honest, and he used me for so long.
01:07:16I don't know.
01:07:18Maybe my mom was right.
01:07:20Men aren't like in the rom-coms.
01:07:22Of course, they're not.
01:07:24Girl, those guys are made up.
01:07:27That's like a dude getting mad at you for not being like the girls in the pronouns.
01:07:30It's not the same.
01:07:34You know, he admitted he was wrong, and now he's trying to make it better.
01:07:38In my book, that's worth a shot.
01:07:40All right.
01:07:42Let's do the other side.
01:07:56Doc told me you're doing really well.
01:08:10You said you stood up today.
01:08:13Yeah.
01:08:14For a whole two seconds.
01:08:16Still.
01:08:18That's amazing.
01:08:19Grace, I'm so proud of you.
01:08:28I guess that means that you'll be leaving soon.
01:08:32Yeah.
01:08:33I guess.
01:08:38Well, uh...
01:08:39Before you go to bed, want to watch a rom-com?
01:08:42Heard there's a new one on Netflix.
01:08:43No, I'm okay.
01:08:49I'm feeling a bit tired.
01:08:51You want to read a book?
01:08:53I actually went ahead and picked you up a copy of Pride and Prejudice, just in case.
01:08:58Or I could read it to you.
01:09:00If you want.
01:09:04Actually, I already started.
01:09:07I'm not sure I understand it, because...
01:09:09Darcy's kind of a dick.
01:09:13He gets better.
01:09:19Got it.
01:09:20Not.
01:09:21I'm okay.
01:09:26Want to listen to some music before you go to bed?
01:09:29Never heard of those, uh...
01:09:48Blood Orange Grove guys?
01:09:51Here, they're pretty good.
01:10:07I can't hear what you're saying.
01:10:10Grace, I'm so sorry, but my family is here.
01:10:22I swear I had no idea that we were coming.
01:10:24But I'll tell them to leave me.
01:10:25It's... okay.
01:10:27No, you're still recovering.
01:10:29And I still haven't told them that we're not together anymore.
01:10:35But I was just going to tell them we broke up as soon as you left.
01:10:40Brennan, it's okay.
01:10:43I can do this.
01:10:44Well, we wanted to come earlier, but somebody made us wait until you were better.
01:10:56Well, I'm really glad that you're all here.
01:10:59Oh, um, Grace and Brennan, I'd like to apologize for the way I've behaved.
01:11:12I thought it was acting in the best interest of my son, and, uh, I see now that I was wrong.
01:11:20So, I would like to give this union my full blessing.
01:11:24Like, no, stop, I...
01:11:31Mom, Dad, there's...
01:11:33There's something I need to tell you.
01:11:37Brennan, what are you doing?
01:11:42Grace isn't my fiancΓ©e.
01:11:50She was my assistant.
01:11:54She tried to quit, but I wouldn't let her.
01:11:59In fact, I blackmailed her into pretending to be my girlfriend so that you would keep my division open.
01:12:11Grace is a beautiful, lovely, kind, and sweet woman.
01:12:21And I used her to further my own goals.
01:12:27Even now, she's still helping me when I almost got her killed.
01:12:33Because that's just who she is.
01:12:37I won't let you continue lying for me anymore.
01:12:41Everything you said is true.
01:12:46I'm an unserious playboy.
01:12:50But this playboy wants to do better.
01:12:54So, if you have to close my division, I...
01:12:56I guess I understand.
01:13:01Sam, don't.
01:13:03I didn't even have to beat you.
01:13:11You did it for me.
01:13:14That's enough, Kate.
01:13:16Go wait in the car.
01:13:20I don't know.
01:13:21I am so proud of you.
01:13:36I mean it.
01:13:38It was so brave of you to tell the truth.
01:13:41But I could tell you were keeping something from us.
01:13:44But I could also see that you and Grace really care for each other.
01:13:51And that it wasn't a lie.
01:13:53Even when you thought it was.
01:13:58Now, I'll let you two talk this through.
01:14:10I didn't...
01:14:11Grace, I understand if you just want to go home now.
01:14:17I can send your stuff to your apartment.
01:14:20But don't worry.
01:14:22I won't be coming with it.
01:14:24Brennan.
01:14:27I'm not leaving.
01:14:31You're not?
01:14:35My whole life, I thought if a guy couldn't measure up to the...
01:14:40Nora Ephron or Nancy Meyers' heroes, he wasn't worth it.
01:14:45But maybe it's good that you're not this perfect guy.
01:14:50Because I'm not a porn star.
01:14:53What?
01:14:57It sounded better when Belle said it.
01:14:59I guess maybe fantasies are fantasies for a reason.
01:15:09And after all of this, I realized I don't want a fairy tale.
01:15:16I want real.
01:15:18I want you.
01:15:22I want to give us a chance.
01:15:27And one day,
01:15:31a long, long time into the future,
01:15:36maybe you can give this back to me.
01:15:39not today.
01:15:43Clear?
01:15:57Crystal.
01:15:58I can't believe you told your parents everything.
01:16:12Sam is definitely going to shut down your division now.
01:16:17What are you going to do?
01:16:22I think I have an idea.
01:16:24I think I have an idea.
01:16:28That's the way.
01:16:34I don't think.
