00:00:01If this were a rom-com, how would it go?
00:00:06Well, 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.
00:00:24You force 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?
00:00:42But then, helping you trick your parents lets me see you on a deeper level.
00:00:49And then what happens?
00:00:54I don't know, but...
00:00:58I don't know.
00:01:00Are you okay?
00:01:03That's me.
00:01:08I don't know.
00:01:13It's all I can love.
00:01:16I don't know.
00:01:17I truly am.
00:01:19I degree is a walk.
00:01:20Don't get distracted now, mister.
00:01:29Stop talking.
00:01:32You had better be yawning from the back of an Uber, mister.
00:01:36What?
00:01:37Oh, fuck.
00:01:38Kate's in gay gym party.
00:01:39You were supposed to remind me.
00:01:41I left 14 sticky notes on your desk.
00:01:44God damn it, you cannot be late to this.
00:01:46Who's that, big boy?
00:01:47Please tell me this woman doesn't think she's got a shot with you.
00:01:51Um, she's from Portugal.
00:01:53She knows this is just a flame.
00:01:54You're cheating on me with someone from Portugal?
00:01:57On second thought, Grace, you're going to have to handle this for me.
00:02:01I'm calling the car.
00:02:02Shower off your bad decisions and get in.
00:02:06Okay.
00:02:10This was fun, Nadia.
00:02:12But, uh, it's time for you to go.
00:02:14You can see yourself out, can't you?
00:02:17Whoa!
00:02:29Whoa!
00:02:36You know, you really should start watching where you're going.
00:02:39One of these days, you're going to end up smeared across the hood of some Mercedes.
00:02:43So nice to see you, too.
00:02:44Oh, how do I look?
00:02:54Perfect.
00:02:56I mean, fine.
00:02:58Good.
00:02:59You look good.
00:03:00I'm just glad you made it.
00:03:03Shall we?
00:03:04Mm-hmm.
00:03:05You know I've only ever met your family on the phone.
00:03:08Yeah, you'll see why.
00:03:10You know how much shit my father's going to give me now that I'm the only single wolf?
00:03:34Brennan!
00:03:36Oh, God.
00:03:38Deal with that.
00:03:39Please.
00:03:42Help me.
00:03:43Isn't it?
00:03:44Look, it's nothing personal, but Brennan...
00:03:46You.
00:03:48You're the little assistant that's been keeping us apart.
00:03:51Because what?
00:03:52You think you have a shot with him?
00:03:54Whore?
00:03:56No, our relationship is strictly professional.
00:03:58It's pathetic.
00:04:00Give it up, sweetheart.
00:04:01He's not interested.
00:04:03You're just the girl who gets him his coffee.
00:04:20Well, look who it is, big bro.
00:04:24Kate.
00:04:26Congratulations on all of this.
00:04:29It's great.
00:04:31I really do feel blessed.
00:04:32I'm marrying the love of my life soon.
00:04:35My division is killing it.
00:04:37Have you seen our projections?
00:04:40Yeah.
00:04:41You know, I could give you some pointers.
00:04:45I saw your numbers.
00:04:482% growth is not going to cut it.
00:04:50Not when Dad is in slashing mode.
00:04:54Oh, you haven't heard?
00:04:56At next month's board meeting, if you're not caught up...
00:04:59Oh, but don't worry.
00:05:05I'm sure you'll find something.
00:05:10Maybe Mickey D's is hiring.
00:05:12You do look good in yellow.
00:05:18Now, if you don't mind, I have well-wishers to greet.
00:05:21Excuse me.
00:05:35Office, now.
00:05:37But we just got here.
00:05:38Now.
00:05:45So, the whole division's just gone?
00:05:49No, because you're going to get an action plan on my desk by tomorrow.
00:05:54Tomorrow is Saturday.
00:05:57Mr. Wolf.
00:05:59I'm Howard Bernstein from the Bernstein Corporation.
00:06:03Now, I know we didn't have a meeting set up, but I have a potential business opportunity for you.
00:06:07All scheduling needs to go through now.
00:06:08Mr. Wolf.
00:06:10I really think we should discuss this.
00:06:13Apologize to my assistant, or the next meeting you take will be from a hospital bed.
00:06:23Oh, jeez.
00:06:25Okay, all right.
00:06:27God, okay, I'm sorry.
00:06:29I'm sorry.
00:06:32Now, you.
00:06:34Action plan.
00:06:356 p.m. tomorrow, and you get the fuck out of here and leave my assistant alone.
00:06:38You, sir, are a brute.
00:06:53Again?
00:06:54What is it?
00:06:55Miss Reynolds, I'm calling you as your mother's next of kin.
00:06:59Unfortunately, this call is to provide you with a time of death.
00:07:02Sorry.
00:07:03Excuse me.
00:07:04Time of death?
00:07:05Miss Reynolds, your mother is dead.
00:07:08Grace, I need you to get a hold of Miller at the end.
00:07:26What is it?
00:07:29My mother's dead.
00:07:34Grace, are you serious?
00:07:35Okay.
00:07:38Sorry, you said that we need Miller?
00:07:41You need me to call Jordan Miller?
00:07:43Grace, don't worry about that.
00:07:44You need to go.
00:07:46No, no, I can't.
00:07:47No, I can't.
00:07:47We've got...
00:07:47I'm telling you as your boss.
00:07:50You need to go.
00:07:50Why are you going back to work?
00:08:18Didn't Brendan give you, like, a whole month off?
00:08:22Yeah, but he needs me.
00:08:27Look, I know you're desperately in love with this man, but he...
00:08:31I am not.
00:08:37Okay, fine.
00:08:40I love him.
00:08:43Are you happy?
00:08:43I... I've loved him for five fucking years, and he does not give a shit about me.
00:08:51I give him all of my waking hours.
00:08:54I get rid of his hookups.
00:08:57I even check the security cameras on my phone every day because he doesn't trust the alarm company.
00:09:04You don't want him taking advantage of you? Then don't let him.
00:09:07You deserve love, not dirty work.
00:09:13Two percent growth in this economy is impressive. Above industry standard.
00:09:20Kate's division saw eight percent last month alone.
00:09:24Well, why don't we ask the IRS about Kate's growth?
00:09:28One of these days, that behavior is going to come back to bite her in the ass.
00:09:30It's not just business. Kate's a serious person.
00:09:34She's settling down, and you're still in the tabloids with floozies.
00:09:39Ever since Dulcie...
00:09:41This has nothing to do with my personal life.
00:09:43I am more than capable of this.
00:09:45You want your division? Show me you're serious.
00:09:48Otherwise, I'll be making my recommendation to the board.
00:09:52I've got to go.
00:09:52Grace, what are you doing here? I thought you were still in bereavement.
00:10:11What is this?
00:10:12This is me.
00:10:16Quitting.
00:10:16No.
00:10:27Absolutely not.
00:10:29Excuse me?
00:10:31Look, if you still need more time to grieve, I understand.
00:10:34This is not about my mother.
00:10:37Brennan, I need a fresh start.
00:10:41I cannot keep going around in circles with you.
00:10:43These last five years, I have been torturing myself, trying to get you to see that...
00:10:50It doesn't matter.
00:10:54I'm done.
00:11:02No.
00:11:03You're not.
00:11:04You're still under contract for another year.
00:11:07What kind of leader would I be if I just let my employees leave just because they wanted to...
00:11:10Have a fresh start?
00:11:14Do you want to do this the hard way, Brennan?
00:11:18Okay.
00:11:20Fine.
00:11:26Hi.
00:11:26I need to speak with one of your attorneys, please.
00:11:29No, any one of them is fine.
00:11:31What the fuck?
00:11:35What are you doing?
00:11:37Look.
00:11:39I'll allow you to quit.
00:11:41Under one condition.
00:11:44You become my girlfriend.
00:11:50Excuse me?
00:11:51Look, my father doesn't think that I'm serious enough to keep the division.
00:11:56He and my mom are coming this weekend to stay with me for Kate's wedding, and...
00:12:00Well, I just...
00:12:00I need to prove to him that I'm done fucking around.
00:12:04Are you?
00:12:07Right.
00:12:07I didn't think so.
00:12:09So ask Naomi.
00:12:11Or Miss Portugal.
00:12:13Anyone.
00:12:13There's a line of girls a mile long who'd be happy to help you.
00:12:17But Grace, you're the only one that I trust.
00:12:24Look, if you do this for me, avoid your contract.
00:12:29And then you can go and do whatever it is that you want, with a glowing recommendation from myself.
00:12:35I can't do this anymore, Brennan.
00:12:38I can't keep doing your dirty work.
00:12:41I deserve better.
00:12:43I deserve to...
00:12:44Grace!
00:12:44Grace, I need you.
00:12:53It's just for the weekend.
00:12:55Right?
00:12:57Just for your parents.
00:13:02Fine.
00:13:04I'll stay for the weekend, and then I'm gone.
00:13:06What the hell?
00:13:16What was that?
00:13:18Practice.
00:13:33Brennan?
00:13:34Okay.
00:13:38You can do this.
00:13:39You just have to get through this weekend, and then you can forget about Brennan Wolfe for good.
00:13:47Hey, babe.
00:13:48You just have to go.
00:14:00Settling in?
00:14:02Hmm?
00:14:05Feel free to use any open space.
00:14:08Just don't go to my side or get into any of my stuff.
00:14:10You know, you don't seem to use your closet much.
00:14:17Are you enjoying the view?
00:14:25Wait.
00:14:32Here.
00:14:34Take this.
00:14:35What is this?
00:14:37Well, your wardrobe is passable, as my assistant, but my girlfriend would never wear this.
00:14:47First thing in the morning, go and get yourself a new wardrobe.
00:14:49100,000 max.
00:14:51100,000?
00:14:54No, I can't do that.
00:14:57No, just think of it as a bonus.
00:14:58Fine.
00:15:04It's getting late.
00:15:05I think I'm going to turn in.
00:15:09Do you mind?
00:15:10Most, uh, long-term couples share a bedroom.
00:15:28Absolutely not.
00:15:30Look, my parents get in tomorrow.
00:15:32We have to make this thing look real, at least.
00:15:35Okay, then tomorrow you're welcome to the floor.
00:15:38Until then, find another bedroom.
00:15:41There's like 50 in this place.
00:15:44Fine.
00:15:45You win.
00:15:48But I'll be downstairs watching a movie if you can't sleep.
00:15:55How about a rom-com?
00:15:59Sure.
00:16:08I want to do that.
00:16:20And I want you now.
00:16:23Then what are you waiting for?
00:16:25Well, I think that's my cue.
00:16:48Good night, Brennan.
00:16:49I think I'm going to fall in love with you.
00:16:55Even though you don't have to say anything, I just, I wanted you to know.
00:17:10Brennan?
00:17:10What are you doing here?
00:17:29So smooth.
00:17:30I don't have to.
00:17:47I don't have to.
00:17:49I don't have to.
00:17:54I don't.
00:17:54Wow.
00:18:03You look nice.
00:18:08Thanks.
00:18:17They're here.
00:18:19Prepare yourself.
00:18:22Rennie!
00:18:23I love her.
00:18:27Oh, my goodness.
00:18:29This must be Grace.
00:18:32Rennie, she is absolutely darling.
00:18:38No wonder you've been keeping her all to yourself.
00:18:43Still, you might have mentioned her at some point.
00:18:49Oh, that'll be Kate.
00:18:52She's here for dinner.
00:18:54Oh, um, I didn't realize she'd be joining us.
00:18:58Oh, well, I wanted to include everyone.
00:19:00The whole family.
00:19:08Sweetheart.
00:19:09Oh, come here, honey bunny.
00:19:10I still can't believe you finally tamed my brother.
00:19:18How'd you do it?
00:19:22I was in Soho.
00:19:24Oh.
00:19:26Don't tell me you met in a bar.
00:19:29No.
00:19:30Of course we didn't meet at a bar.
00:19:32Do you want to tell them, baby?
00:19:35Or should I?
00:19:37Um, you tell it, sweetheart.
00:19:41I'll tell.
00:19:42I used to work for Cross & Co.
00:19:46I know, I know, your biggest rivals.
00:19:49Brennan and I hated each other.
00:19:51Always stealing clients and competing.
00:19:54But I always thought he was cute.
00:19:59One day, we were pitching the same client.
00:20:01We were coming out of the building when I took a step out into the road without looking.
00:20:05I know, I know.
00:20:06It's a terrible habit that I have.
00:20:08A car came barreling down the road at me, and before I knew it, I felt a pair of strong arms pull me back.
00:20:14And when I opened my eyes, I found myself staring up at your son.
00:20:20How could I hate him after that?
00:20:23And as they say, the rest is history.
00:20:36And, uh, I've been saving her from traffic ever since.
00:20:40Wow.
00:20:42Oh my gosh.
00:20:43That sounds like something straight out of a movie.
00:20:48Doesn't it, honey?
00:20:49Hmm.
00:20:50Almost too good to be true.
00:20:53I tell you to get serious.
00:20:56And then you pick some random girl up off the street and suddenly you're, you're in love?
00:21:01Samuel.
00:21:03You've always been this way.
00:21:05Always taking the easy way out.
00:21:07Content to settle in the middle.
00:21:09Coasting along on your name and your money.
00:21:12You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:21:17Brennan cares more about his company than anyone I've ever met.
00:21:20He's dedicated and conscientious and he's...
00:21:23Sam.
00:21:24Dinner and a show.
00:21:34Lucky me.
00:21:36Thanks for the fun night.
00:21:38Brennan, I...
00:21:52I have some contracts to go over.
00:21:54Excuse me.
00:21:55Oh, Mrs. Wolfe.
00:22:12I'm so sorry.
00:22:14I don't know what came over me.
00:22:16I was completely out of line and I want to apologize.
00:22:19Grace, I love my husband.
00:22:22But he's always been too hard on Brennan.
00:22:24Thank you so much for defending him.
00:22:30I can tell.
00:22:31You really do care for him.
00:22:33I do.
00:22:48Nightcap?
00:22:52I thought you were mad at me.
00:22:54No, I...
00:22:55I just thank you for standing up for me tonight.
00:23:05I don't think it really helped our cause.
00:23:10I think your dad hates me.
00:23:13But my mom loves you and so it cancels out.
00:23:18You were really good.
00:23:20I'm sure they'll buy it.
00:23:21How are you so good at this?
00:23:28At what?
00:23:29At pretending to be in love.
00:23:35Well...
00:23:37My mom and I used to watch rom-coms.
00:23:41It was kind of our thing.
00:23:44I remember.
00:23:45She would always tell me,
00:23:47don't kid yourself.
00:23:49Real guys will always let you down.
00:23:52But rom-com guys are forever.
00:23:57Anyway, I guess what I meant was...
00:24:01I may not be good at real love.
00:24:04But...
00:24:05I'm great at rom-coms.
00:24:09Plus, I mean, some of that is true.
00:24:10You are always saving me from traffic.
00:24:12Grace, you must really miss your mom.
00:24:23I'm so sorry.
00:24:30Yeah.
00:24:30It's hard to lose the one person in the world who makes it all make sense.
00:24:42Yeah.
00:24:44Trust me.
00:24:46I get it.
00:24:48You lost someone?
00:24:49I thought I knew everything about you.
00:24:52Not everything.
00:24:58Do you...
00:24:59Do you want to talk about it?
00:25:07I...
00:25:07I don't know if I...
00:25:12can.
00:25:14It's...
00:25:15It's okay.
00:25:16You can tell me.
00:25:17You can tell me.
00:25:17Maybe...
00:25:31Maybe some other time.
00:25:36So, uh...
00:25:38If this were a rom-com...
00:25:41How would it go?
00:25:45It's very funny.
00:25:46No, I'm...
00:25:47I'm actually being serious.
00:25:54Okay.
00:25:57Well...
00:25:58Since you're...
00:26:00My boss...
00:26:01You'd...
00:26:03Obviously have to be...
00:26:04A workaholic.
00:26:06And...
00:26:06I'm...
00:26:07An impressionable...
00:26:09Underpaid assistant...
00:26:10Who just moved to the city.
00:26:11I'm not seeing...
00:26:13The fiction there.
00:26:13So...
00:26:16You force me...
00:26:18To be your girlfriend...
00:26:19To trick your parents.
00:26:21And I hate...
00:26:22Every second of it.
00:26:24You know...
00:26:25Being...
00:26:25I'm a virgin...
00:26:26Who's never had a boyfriend at all.
00:26:28A virgin?
00:26:29In the story...
00:26:31Mister.
00:26:34But then...
00:26:36Helping you...
00:26:38Trick your parents...
00:26:39Let's me...
00:26:41See you on a deeper level.
00:26:44And...
00:26:45My...
00:26:45Carefree persona...
00:26:47Helps you...
00:26:48See the world in color...
00:26:49For the first time.
00:26:51And then what?
00:26:56Well...
00:26:56Then...
00:26:58One night we're...
00:27:00On the sofa...
00:27:01Planning the next steps...
00:27:03In our relationship...
00:27:05Then...
00:27:06I lean in...
00:27:07And...
00:27:09You lean in...
00:27:10And...
00:27:11And then...
00:27:12And...
00:27:13Then...
00:27:14Uh, so, uh, something like that?
00:27:42Huh?
00:27:44I mean, if we're going to convince my parents, we'll have to kiss in front of them, so something
00:27:48like that would work, right?
00:27:51Oh, yeah.
00:27:52Yeah.
00:27:53Yeah, that's...
00:27:54That's fine.
00:27:56Good.
00:27:57Yeah.
00:27:59Um, well, um, we should probably turn it.
00:28:04Sure.
00:28:04You are not going to be able to sleep like that.
00:28:34I'll be fine
00:28:36Come on
00:28:41This bed is pretty big
00:28:45Plus you need to be well rested to keep up the ruse, right?
00:28:53Just take the other side of the bed
00:28:55Okay
00:29:04Good night
00:29:15Good night
00:29:34Guys
00:30:00Good night
00:30:30Morning
00:30:38Brennan
00:30:41We need to talk
00:30:44I owe you an apology, son
00:30:48It paints me greatly to see that you're not like Kate, you're not
00:30:55Great apology so far
00:30:58But you're still my son
00:31:00And I care about you deeply
00:31:02So what do you know about this grace?
00:31:06What do you mean?
00:31:11I've seen her type before
00:31:13They appear from the woodwork and attach themselves to great families
00:31:19They're like leeches
00:31:21Grace, I do not want to see my company fall into the hands of some gold digger
00:31:30How dare you talk about grace like that?
00:31:33You have no idea what she's done for this company
00:31:35For me, you have no idea what she's done for me
00:31:38I couldn't do this without her
00:31:39I couldn't do this without her
00:31:39Without who?
00:31:46I'll be going
00:31:47But think about what I said
00:31:49What was that all about?
00:32:00We have to step up our game
00:32:02Look, my father's still suspicious of you
00:32:05What the fuck are we going to do?
00:32:07I thought this was going to work
00:32:08Hey
00:32:09It's okay
00:32:11We'll figure this out
00:32:13You said you think your mom likes me, right?
00:32:16Maybe we can convince your mom to talk to him
00:32:19And he'll come around
00:32:20You know
00:32:22That's not a bad idea
00:32:24What is wrong with this?
00:32:49You like it with cinnamon
00:32:50Thank you
00:32:59So
00:33:02About last night
00:33:04Well, aren't you two just the cutest?
00:33:14Mom
00:33:14I didn't see you come in
00:33:16Sorry to interrupt you two lovebirds
00:33:19But I was just on my way
00:33:20To pick out the flowers for the reception
00:33:22Poor Kate
00:33:23She's just so busy with her work
00:33:26That she hasn't had any time to do wedding prep
00:33:28So
00:33:30Would you like to come with me?
00:33:32Oh
00:33:33She'd love to
00:33:34Oh
00:33:34I don't want to intrude
00:33:35You too, mister
00:33:37Mom
00:33:38But I have to work
00:33:39Oh, please
00:33:40The last thing this family needs
00:33:42Is another workaholic
00:33:44Shall we?
00:33:45Oh, hey
00:33:49I love these flowers
00:33:51I think you're going to be so excited about them
00:33:53I know, I'm really excited
00:33:54The best in the city
00:33:55Thanks for taking me a long time
00:33:56Grace!
00:34:03Every time
00:34:04Mom
00:34:28Uh
00:34:29Do you think you could maybe talk to dad for us?
00:34:34You know
00:34:34Get him to
00:34:35Ease up on grace a bit
00:34:37Of course, darling
00:34:40Grace is an absolute angel
00:34:43And he needs to stop harping on her
00:34:45Look at my son
00:34:48I'll protect him
00:34:50I love it
00:34:52What about these?
00:34:56Oh, come on
00:35:01Yellow is
00:35:03Bright
00:35:04And fun
00:35:05A rose for my rose
00:35:10Yellow roses symbolize friendship
00:35:15White roses, on the other hand, symbolize purity
00:35:19And loyalty
00:35:20Brennan!
00:35:23What a coincidence
00:35:25Jackie
00:35:27Why don't we go check out the lilies?
00:35:29Well, yeah
00:35:30Yeah, let's go
00:35:31I need to talk to you
00:35:38What are you doing here?
00:35:40Look, I miss you silly
00:35:42And I know you miss me
00:35:44Look, didn't Grace already tell you
00:35:46Look, we're not a thing
00:35:48You mean your bitch-ass assistant?
00:35:51You let her speak for you?
00:35:53Keep your voice down
00:35:55Why are you defending her?
00:36:00Are you
00:36:01Are you interested in her?
00:36:04No, that would be
00:36:05Completely unprofessional
00:36:07You know what?
00:36:10No
00:36:10You need to leave
00:36:11Now
00:36:11Think happy and rich
00:36:30Happy and rich
00:36:30Beautiful
00:36:31All right, one more
00:36:33Big smiles
00:36:34Big, big smiles
00:36:35Well, that'll never happen
00:36:37What about a smirk?
00:36:40He can do a smirk
00:36:41All right
00:36:48And how about a solo picture
00:36:49Of, uh, brother and girlfriend
00:36:51Uh, you two are dating?
00:37:07Just take the picture
00:37:08Come on, Brennan
00:37:10Give her a kiss
00:37:11Seriously?
00:37:21Seriously?
00:37:22A real kiss
00:37:24Huh
00:37:33Hmm
00:37:36Uh
00:37:38Hmm
00:37:43Hmm
00:37:44Hmm
00:37:53Hmm
00:37:53Real enough?
00:38:13Brennan, what the hell was that?
00:38:15Look, Grace, we've already talked about this.
00:38:17We have to make this look real.
00:38:19I mean, if I hadn't kissed you, it would...
00:38:20No, I mean, you're running away from me like I bit you.
00:38:23Come on, you said you were going to start pulling your weight.
00:38:25You're going to blow this whole thing.
00:38:28Blow what whole thing?
00:38:30Oh, nothing.
00:38:32Just the photo shoot.
00:38:33Brennan got a little carried away.
00:38:36What's that?
00:38:38Family tradition.
00:38:40No, Kate.
00:38:42Consider it an early wedding present to me.
00:38:45Me and Alec versus you guys.
00:38:48Come on.
00:38:49We never got to play with Dulcy.
00:38:53Who's Dulcy?
00:38:56You haven't told her?
00:38:58Look, that's none of your business, Kate.
00:39:03Fine.
00:39:05Game on.
00:39:06All right.
00:39:11It's easy.
00:39:13Hers means you have to answer questions about Brennan.
00:39:15His means he has to answer questions about you.
00:39:18Each correct answer gets a point.
00:39:20Whoever gets the most points wins.
00:39:22Are you ready to lose?
00:39:27How bad can it be?
00:39:28It's not like we're strangers.
00:39:30Let's start with a question for the boys.
00:39:32Okay.
00:39:36What is your partner's go-to lunch?
00:39:41Okay.
00:39:53Okay.
00:39:54And three, two, one, flip.
00:40:02Oh, come on.
00:40:03The amount of times I picked that sandwich up for you at work.
00:40:05When I was surprising you.
00:40:10Great.
00:40:12Everybody gets a point.
00:40:14Grace, you pull.
00:40:16Another boys question.
00:40:23When did your partner lose their virginity?
00:40:26Three, two, one, flip.
00:40:40Okay, this is scary.
00:40:41You know me too well.
00:40:43That's the idea, babe.
00:40:51Alec, baby, it's you.
00:40:52Now it's about the girlies.
00:40:54What's your partner's favorite band?
00:41:08Three, two, one, flip.
00:41:18Katy Perry?
00:41:21What the hell is Blood Orange Grove?
00:41:24Brienne, you're up.
00:41:28Bren, you're up.
00:41:29All right, last question.
00:41:59What is your partner's favorite movie genre?
00:42:10And he gets a point, finally, his first one.
00:42:14That makes 16 for The Lovebirds and 37 for me and Alec.
00:42:21Watch Made in Heaven, baby.
00:42:28You remember you quit, right?
00:42:43You don't have to keep working for me.
00:42:45Yeah, well, who else is going to check the security cameras for you?
00:42:57Grace, I know you're upset, but it's just a stupid game, right?
00:43:05It doesn't matter.
00:43:08I think I'm going to turn in.
00:43:10Night.
00:43:11No, Grace.
00:43:13Look, I'm trying here, okay?
00:43:18You can't just shut me out.
00:43:20Talk to me.
00:43:22There's nothing to say, Brennan.
00:43:25Look, you're right.
00:43:27None of this matters.
00:43:31After this weekend, we'll go our separate ways and back to reality.
00:43:38Speaking of, I drafted a list of replacement assistants.
00:43:42Grace should be in your email.
00:43:45Hmm.
00:43:46Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:43:49Grace.
00:44:12I'm sure he's not hiding anything.
00:44:37Maybe she's just an old friend or something.
00:44:40But it's not just that.
00:44:43The other day, we were playing this couples game,
00:44:46and he didn't know anything about me.
00:44:49I've made his life perfect for years,
00:44:51and he couldn't even bother to learn my favorite band.
00:44:54I know it's hard, but clearly he cares about you.
00:44:58I mean, he brought you home to meet his parents.
00:45:01I'm sure he didn't do that with all the other girls.
00:45:07I need to tell you something.
00:45:09That, that, that definitely was about to easily listen to theЦ.
00:45:22I think he was about to close to me now.
00:45:23I think he's gonna be�� her, be there.
00:45:25Got it right, be there.
00:45:26It's not enough.
00:45:29You're not that Fun.
00:45:30It's not a particular thing.
00:45:31A couple of weeks ago.
00:45:32I thought maybe he was starting to fall for me, for real.
00:45:42I mean, we kissed a couple of times,
00:45:44and the other morning I woke up and he was holding me.
00:45:49I guess I was just deluding myself like Naomi and all the others.
00:45:55I said I was done with this.
00:45:57I quit, for God's sakes.
00:46:00But then he roped me in, and like a fucking idiot,
00:46:03I let him pull me right back in.
00:46:06It's like I haven't learned anything.
00:46:07Grace, you're not an idiot.
00:46:09You're just a romantic.
00:46:12And that's different.
00:46:15I don't know.
00:46:18Maybe my mother was right.
00:46:20Real men always let you down.
00:46:25I'm not going to get my hopes up.
00:46:27I just have to get through the weekend,
00:46:28and then I can put Brennan Wolfe behind me.
00:46:32Cheers.
00:46:32Come in.
00:46:55Late night booty call in your office.
00:46:57Just like the good old days.
00:46:59Glad you finally saw the light, lover.
00:47:17Brennan?
00:47:20Baby?
00:47:22Where'd you go?
00:47:23I'm right here.
00:47:24No, this was, this was a mistake.
00:47:29You need, you need to go.
00:47:32No.
00:47:33The only mistake was you letting me go.
00:47:39No, you need to go.
00:47:42Get out.
00:47:44The fuck, Brennan?
00:47:45Go!
00:47:46Go!
00:47:46Brennan, is that you?
00:48:12Mom, what are you doing up?
00:48:14I have something for you.
00:48:18I wanted to give it to you earlier.
00:48:21But I just wanted to let you know how happy I am that you and Grace have found each other.
00:48:26It's just been so long since Dulcy, and I, I was beginning to worry you'd never find it again.
00:48:34Mom, I, uh...
00:48:36It's okay.
00:48:37You deserve to feel love again.
00:48:40And I know now might not be the right time, but...
00:48:43I wanted to give you this.
00:48:54Your father proposed to me with it.
00:48:56And when the time comes, maybe, you could propose to Grace with it.
00:49:07It just, it feels so much like last time.
00:49:11Mom, what if that means that it's all gonna fall apart again?
00:49:16It's okay, sweetie.
00:49:18That feeling is fear.
00:49:19And all that means is that it's real.
00:49:23You said you needed to see me?
00:49:41Now who needs reminding that I quit?
00:49:45Look, there's something I want to tell you.
00:49:47I, uh, I want you to be my girlfriend.
00:49:54It feels like we've covered this.
00:49:58No, I mean, like, for real, this time.
00:50:04What did you just say?
00:50:07I've been an idiot.
00:50:09All right, I've taken you for granted, and these last few days have made me realize I can't live without you.
00:50:14Brother, I, I, I don't want to.
00:50:20I want to make us official.
00:50:24What do you say?
00:50:34Wait.
00:50:34If I could live anywhere in the world, where would I live?
00:50:48What?
00:50:50Who's my hero?
00:50:53I, I...
00:50:54What's my mother's name?
00:50:56What's my favorite childhood memory?
00:50:59What are my favorite hobbies?
00:51:02Where am I from?
00:51:03You say you can't live without me, Brennan.
00:51:08No, you can't live without what I do for you.
00:51:11Besides the fact that I make your life easier, you don't know anything about me.
00:51:22I know that you're...
00:51:24kind.
00:51:24I know that you're not afraid to stand up for people you care about.
00:51:34That you love your mom.
00:51:37That you're an extremely hard worker.
00:51:42That you snore.
00:51:43I know that you make me feel safe and happy and good.
00:51:55And if you give me a chance, I'll learn the rest.
00:51:58Please.
00:52:01Please.
00:52:03Grace.
00:52:04Oh, my God.
00:52:34Here.
00:52:38It's never stopped you before.
00:52:51Hey there, beautiful.
00:53:04You look like you've been up all night.
00:53:08And, uh, whose fault is that?
00:53:10Me.
00:53:18Get me?
00:53:20Okay.
00:53:24Hold still there, Mr. Wolf.
00:53:30This will make you look awake there.
00:53:34There.
00:53:43Wow.
00:53:48You are a miracle worker.
00:53:51What else is new?
00:53:52You know, when I get married, I'm not inviting any of these people.
00:54:13In fact, I'm not inviting anyone at all.
00:54:16Vegas elopement.
00:54:18Elvis impersonator.
00:54:21Reception at the casino.
00:54:22It works.
00:54:24It's very romantic.
00:54:27Yeah.
00:54:29What about you?
00:54:31I don't know.
00:54:34Oh, come on.
00:54:36Don't tell me you haven't thought about it.
00:54:37I mean, doesn't every single one of those rom-coms have some sort of cliché fairytale wedding?
00:54:43Yep.
00:54:45I guess I never imagined it because I've never been in love before.
00:54:51All the guys I've been with haven't... something hasn't felt right.
00:54:57It's like I've been waiting for someone.
00:55:05What about you?
00:55:07What about me?
00:55:08Have you ever been in love?
00:55:15Excuse me.
00:55:17Do you mind if I borrow my son for a moment?
00:55:22Be my guest.
00:55:38Time to pay the piper, bro.
00:55:42What the fuck is this?
00:55:45Kate.
00:55:47The 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.
00:55:58She's not your girlfriend after all, is she?
00:56:02Look, Dad, I don't know what she-
00:56:03No more of your lies, son.
00:56:05And do not ask your mother to intervene.
00:56:08I knew this was wrong from the get-go.
00:56:11Now I have proof.
00:56:13I'll be meeting with the board on Monday morning, and then you'll begin the process of transferring your division's assets over-
00:56:20Wait!
00:56:22Look, I don't know what Kate heard, or thinks she heard, but what Grace and I have is real.
00:56:30I swear.
00:56:34I'll prove it.
00:56:35I swear.
00:56:56Who are you?
00:57:00Excuse me, everyone. Uh, excuse me, may I please just have a moment of your time.
00:57:07And will my lovely girlfriend, Grace Reynolds, please join me?
00:57:12Grace, I've known you for a very long time. Honestly feels like forever.
00:57:33And recently, something's changed and I've realized just how deep my love for you runs.
00:57:39And now I'd like to formalize that love.
00:57:56My father gave my mother this ring 30 years ago.
00:57:59And through all the hardships they've endured, this ring has remained a symbol of their enduring love.
00:58:04Yesterday, my mother gave it to me. And today, I'd like to give it to you.
00:58:11Grace Reynolds, will you do me the honors of making me the happiest man on earth?
00:58:17And allow me to be your husband.
00:58:19To be your husband.
00:58:32Yes. I'll marry you.
00:58:35I'm gonna talk to you.
00:58:50I need to talk to you.
00:59:06Grace, I know, I know, but my father and Kate, they were circling me and...
00:59:10You'll resolve my contract today.
00:59:13I'll stay with you publicly until your father agrees to leave your division alone, but then I'm gone.
00:59:17And I never want to see you again.
00:59:22What? Why?
00:59:34Grace, this was a mistake.
00:59:37But I put a stop to it. I promise, nothing happened.
00:59:41Why should I believe you?
00:59:43I mean, it's on the tape. Watch it.
00:59:45Grace, you've been my assistant for five years.
00:59:52You know me. You know everything about me.
00:59:58Not everything.
01:00:00What's that supposed to mean?
01:00:02Who's Dulcy?
01:00:05This is personal.
01:00:07Well, you just asked me to marry you, so what's yours is mine, right, honey?
01:00:16Who is she?
01:00:21Nothing to say.
01:00:25Well, it doesn't matter.
01:00:27Because I'm done.
01:00:28Grace.
01:00:53Grace.
01:00:53Oh, thank God.
01:00:58What is this?
01:01:00Where am I?
01:01:04What's wrong with me?
01:01:07Grace, just calm down, okay?
01:01:09You're going to hurt yourself.
01:01:11You were hit by a car.
01:01:14What?
01:01:15You got a spinal injury.
01:01:18And, well, you're suffering from paralysis.
01:01:20But it's only temporary.
01:01:23The doctor said that you'll walk again.
01:01:24You just...
01:01:25Your body needs time to recover.
01:01:28I should be in a hospital.
01:01:31Grace, we have the very best doctors on retainer.
01:01:35Mom, can Grace and I just have a moment, please?
01:01:38Of course.
01:01:40But if you need anything, just call.
01:01:42I'll be in the next room.
01:01:43Grace, when I saw you outside on the street, I was so fucking scared.
01:01:57I thought I'd lost you.
01:01:58Lost your little prop, you mean.
01:02:02How could you say that?
01:02:03Do you really think I don't care about you?
01:02:06Brennan, if your father wasn't in the picture, would you have even asked me out?
01:02:11I...
01:02:15Yeah.
01:02:17I didn't think so.
01:02:19You can keep trying to trick yourself into thinking that you care about me,
01:02:22but this whole time you were just playing pretend.
01:02:26I'll stay here until I can walk again, but...
01:02:30We're over.
01:02:32Grace, I...
01:02:33Okay, whatever you want.
01:03:00That's not true.
01:03:01Angela, I love you.
01:03:06Love isn't a single tender thought about me in the middle of the night, Xavier.
01:03:10I know that.
01:03:17I, uh, thought you might be hungry.
01:03:22I made lasagna.
01:03:24Bella told me it was your favorite.
01:03:27Can I at least leave it by your bed?
01:03:29Okay.
01:03:32Okay.
01:03:32Okay.
01:03:43Oh!
01:03:45Oh!
01:03:46Fuck!
01:03:46Ow!
01:03:48Ow!
01:03:48Let me see it, let me see it.
01:03:51All right, you're okay, but...
01:03:53It's just cramping because you've been in the bed so long.
01:03:56It just needs to be massaged.
01:03:57Ow!
01:03:57Ow!
01:03:58Ow!
01:03:59Ow!
01:03:59Ow!
01:03:59Ow!
01:03:59Ow!
01:03:59Just...
01:04:00Just fucking do it.
01:04:03Okay.
01:04:05Ow!
01:04:05Oh, breathe.
01:04:06Breathe into it.
01:04:09Ow!
01:04:09Right there.
01:04:10Ow!
01:04:11Ow!
01:04:11Breathe.
01:04:12Steady.
01:04:14Ow!
01:04:15Ow!
01:04:15Calm.
01:04:16Slow it down.
01:04:17Ow!
01:04:17Ow!
01:04:18Ow!
01:04:18Ow!
01:04:19Ow!
01:04:19Ow!
01:04:20Ow!
01:04:20Ow!
01:04:20Ow!
01:04:21Ow!
01:04:21Ow!
01:04:22Ow!
01:04:22Ow!
01:04:24Ow!
01:04:24Ow!
01:04:25Ow!
01:04:25Ow!
01:04:26Ow!
01:04:27Ow!
01:04:28Ow!
01:04:28Ow!
01:04:28Ow!
01:04:29Ow!
01:04:29Ow!
01:04:29Ow!
01:04:30You can stop.
01:04:36Of course.
01:04:37You're good at that.
01:04:42Oh.
01:04:43Uh, yeah. I got quite a bit of experience.
01:04:52You know, I think it's time I told you about Dulcy.
01:05:05She was my fiancé.
01:05:08You were engaged?
01:05:11Yeah.
01:05:14We were young.
01:05:17She was a free spirit.
01:05:19In love with the world.
01:05:22And I admired that.
01:05:24Honestly, I wanted to be just like her.
01:05:28I asked her to marry me after two weeks.
01:05:37A month after the engagement,
01:05:40we got the diagnosis.
01:05:41And six months later, I buried her.
01:05:50We never got to walk down the aisle.
01:05:51I'm so sorry, Brennan.
01:05:57So I just, I pushed down my emotions and drowned myself in girlfriends and one night stands, but nothing worked.
01:06:07And I thought if I fell in love again that something terrible would happen.
01:06:14And I was right.
01:06:15Are you saying, are you saying you love me?
01:06:24Grace, how could I not love you?
01:06:29Look, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness or your love, but please let me take care of you like you've taken care of me for so long.
01:06:48Just until you recover, then you can go.
01:06:56Fuck, Belle, that hurts.
01:07:05That's good.
01:07:07Dr. Hurt says that's a good sign.
01:07:09It means you're getting your feeling back.
01:07:11Hey, you know what you're going to tell him?
01:07:25I think he means what he said.
01:07:27But it took him forever to be honest, and he used me for so long.
01:07:33I don't know.
01:07:36Maybe my mom was right.
01:07:39Men aren't like in the rom-coms.
01:07:41Of course, they're not.
01:07:43Girl, those guys are made up.
01:07:46That's like a dude getting mad at you for not being like the girls in the pronouns.
01:07:50It's not the same.
01:07:52You know, he admitted he was wrong, and now he's trying to make it better.
01:07:56In my book, that's worth a shot.
01:08:00All right, let's do the other side.
01:08:16Yeah, of course.
01:08:26Doc told me you're doing really well.
01:08:29You said you stood up today.
01:08:32Yeah.
01:08:33For a whole two seconds.
01:08:35Still.
01:08:37That's amazing.
01:08:40Grace, I'm so proud of you.
01:08:46I guess that means that you'll be leaving soon?
01:08:48Yeah, I guess.
01:08:57Well, uh, before you go to bed, want to watch a rom-com?
01:09:01Heard there's a new one on Netflix.
01:09:02No, I'm okay.
01:09:07I'm feeling a bit tired.
01:09:10You want to read a book?
01:09:12I actually went ahead and picked you up a copy of Pride and Prejudice, just in case.
01:09:16Or I could read it to you.
01:09:18Or I could read it to you, if you want.
01:09:23Actually, I already started.
01:09:26I'm not sure I understand it, because Darcy's kind of a dick.
01:09:30He gets better.
01:09:38Got it.
01:09:39No, I'm okay.
01:09:45Want to listen to some music before you go to bed?
01:09:48Never heard of those, uh, Blood Orange Grove guys?
01:10:08I hear they're pretty good.
01:10:37Grace.
01:10:38I'm so sorry, but my family is here.
01:10:41I swear I had no idea that we were coming.
01:10:43But I'll tell them to leave me.
01:10:44It's okay.
01:10:46No, you're still recovering.
01:10:50And I still haven't told them that we're not together anymore.
01:10:54But I was just going to tell them we broke up as soon as you left.
01:10:59Brennan, it's okay.
01:11:02I can do this.
01:11:06Well?
01:11:07We wanted to come earlier, but somebody made us wait until you were better.
01:11:15Well, I'm really glad that you're all here.
01:11:19Oh, um, Grace and Brennan, I'd like to apologize for the way I've behaved.
01:11:32I thought it was acting in the best interest of my son, and I see now that I was wrong.
01:11:39So, I would like to give this union my full blessing.
01:11:46No.
01:11:48Stop.
01:11:49I...
01:11:49Mom, Dad, there's...
01:11:52There's something I need to tell you.
01:11:57Brennan, what are you doing?
01:11:58Grace isn't my fiancée.
01:12:10She was my assistant.
01:12:14She tried to quit, but I wouldn't let her.
01:12:17In fact, I blackmailed her into pretending to be my girlfriend so that you would keep my division open.
01:12:26Grace is a beautiful, lovely, kind, and sweet woman, and I used her to further my own goals.
01:12:45Even now, she's still helping me when I almost got her killed, because that's just who she is.
01:12:57I won't let you continue lying for me anymore.
01:13:01Everything you said is true.
01:13:07I'm an unserious playboy.
01:13:10But this playboy wants to do better.
01:13:14So, if you have to close my division, I...
01:13:16I guess I understand.
01:13:22Sam, don't.
01:13:23I didn't even have to beat you.
01:13:32You did it for me.
01:13:35That's enough, Kate.
01:13:37Go wait in the car.
01:13:40Mom?
01:13:41Mom?
01:13:42Mom?
01:13:53I am so proud of you.
01:13:57I mean it.
01:13:58It was so brave of you to tell the truth.
01:14:01But I could tell you were keeping something from us.
01:14:06But I could also see that you and Grace really care for each other.
01:14:11And that it wasn't a lie.
01:14:14Even when you thought it was.
01:14:18Now, I'll let you two talk this through.
01:14:23Brennan.
01:14:35Grace, I...
01:14:36I understand if you just want to go home now.
01:14:39I can send your stuff to your apartment.
01:14:42But don't worry, I won't be coming with it.
01:14:46Brennan.
01:14:49I'm not leaving.
01:14:52You're not?
01:14:53My whole life, I thought if a guy couldn't measure up to the Nora Ephron or Nancy Meyers heroes,
01:15:05he wasn't worth it.
01:15:07But maybe it's good that you're not this perfect guy.
01:15:12Because I'm not a porn star.
01:15:15What?
01:15:16It sounded better when Belle said it.
01:15:24I guess...
01:15:26Maybe fantasies are fantasies for a reason.
01:15:31And after all of this, I realized...
01:15:35I don't want a fairy tale.
01:15:36I want real.
01:15:38I want real.
01:15:40I want you.
01:15:44I want to give us a chance.
01:15:49And...
01:15:50One day...
01:15:53A long, long time into the future...
01:15:57Maybe...
01:15:58You can give this back to me.
01:16:01Not today.
01:16:06Clear?
01:16:06Clear?
01:16:20Crystal.
01:16:20I can't believe you told your parents everything.
01:16:35Sam is definitely going to shut down your division now.
01:16:39What are you going to do?
01:16:45I think I have an idea.
01:16:46You...
