00:00:00They say the most primal human things are fighting, and well, I was about to learn both.
00:00:16Every girl wants to find her prince charming, but unfortunately we don't exactly live in a
00:00:21fairytale world. There's no such thing as happily ever after. Where is the duck for table two?
00:00:28Table two ordered something special, chef.
00:00:33No, table two ordered the special and the special is the duck. What is this?
00:00:37Nothing.
00:00:38Yes, exactly. This is nothing. Now, the duck.
00:00:42Just do what your boss says, Lily. You can't afford to lose another job.
00:00:47How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?
00:00:49Table two, the duck.
00:00:52So I'm thinking about adopting a dog. You know, like the little tiny dogs that can fit in your
00:01:00handbag. They're so cute. So anyway, once your inheritance is secure, the Morrison deal is all
00:01:06in the bag. But what is this mystery clause you won't tell us about, Jack?
00:01:10Jack. Jack. Jack. Hello?
00:01:16Yeah, the dog.
00:01:21Hi.
00:01:25Hi.
00:01:25You ordered the special?
00:01:33Actually, I ordered the- Trust me.
00:01:35Who is that girl?
00:01:37Something about her.
00:01:40It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:41Wow. That was presumptuous.
00:01:44The waitress not bringing you what I ordered? Don't tell me you're actually impressed with that
00:01:48little slut, Jack.
00:01:49It works good.
00:01:51The food or the waitress?
00:02:01And what do you think you are doing?
00:02:04I'm making something from this century.
00:02:06You know what? That's it. I've had enough. You are fired. Get out of here.
00:02:09Not this again.
00:02:12What did you say?
00:02:14I'm serious this time. You're fired. You get out of here.
00:02:17What?
00:02:18You take this. You get up your act. You get out.
00:02:21No, please, sir. It won't happen again.
00:02:22No, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy this time. You get out. You leave.
00:02:26Please.
00:02:26No, no.
00:02:32They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:36Yeah, the trash.
00:02:42Asshole.
00:02:47Oh my god.
00:03:02Don't scream. Don't scream, baby.
00:03:05Or do scream for me.
00:03:06Hey.
00:03:21Hey, wait.
00:03:31Not now, Warren.
00:03:47Jack, my man.
00:03:48Cupasso.
00:03:49So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:52When are you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:54The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:57Yeah.
00:03:58Yeah, come on.
00:03:59Are you even listening?
00:04:00I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:04:04And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:04:06Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:10How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:15Maybe next time.
00:04:18Thanks.
00:04:20Call me.
00:04:21I'll call you back.
00:04:22Jack, come on.
00:04:23He'll lock on me.
00:04:24Jack's never done that before.
00:04:26If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal,
00:04:28then the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:32We're over.
00:04:33Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:37I've got just the plan.
00:04:45Just when I think I've found her,
00:04:47she's gone again.
00:04:48How am I going to find her again?
00:05:04You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:06Are you out of your mind?
00:05:07Vivian and I are done.
00:05:09Never again.
00:05:10She's just business now.
00:05:12Very well, sir.
00:05:15Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:18I'll find another wife.
00:05:19I'm afraid not.
00:05:21But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:25You must be married before your 32nd birthday
00:05:27for precisely 365 days.
00:05:30I know, I know.
00:05:31And with that fateful birthday fast approaching,
00:05:33there's little time.
00:05:34The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:38And most crucially of all,
00:05:40you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.
00:05:44Especially your wife.
00:05:46Or I'll lose everything.
00:05:48Everything.
00:05:48Don't complain about things.
00:06:00I don't complain.
00:06:01I don't.
00:06:02All I'm saying is,
00:06:03you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:06I am living in the real world.
00:06:13Really?
00:06:14Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job
00:06:16is the real world.
00:06:17Creative differences.
00:06:20There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:24Lily.
00:06:26You've got to open up your own place.
00:06:28You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:30So you've got to show the world what you got.
00:06:33Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:36But without yours,
00:06:37we're never going to be able to afford Mom's operation.
00:06:41Yeah, it'll be all my fault.
00:06:44Lily.
00:06:47There is an opening at my office.
00:06:50Seriously?
00:06:51It's stable.
00:06:53Health insurance.
00:06:54401K.
00:06:55I'd rather die.
00:06:56You'd rather be broke.
00:06:57No, I'd rather...
00:06:58How can you help Mom
00:07:06when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:14Fine.
00:07:14Yeah, you're right.
00:07:16Let's do it.
00:07:17Hi.
00:07:37Hi.
00:07:39Lily Dunning.
00:07:48Can I help you?
00:07:50Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:52My sister's Megan.
00:07:53She works here.
00:07:55Last place of employment?
00:07:57Chez Francois.
00:07:59A restaurant?
00:07:59Yes, I'm a chef.
00:08:02My passion's cooking, so I...
00:08:04And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:06No.
00:08:08No, of course not.
00:08:10And why do you think someone like you could work here?
00:08:15Um, I just need a job.
00:08:18Sorry, I'm...
00:08:19Thanks, uh...
00:08:20We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:23You can go now.
00:08:25Bye-bye.
00:08:25Bye-bye.
00:08:34Screw this!
00:08:38Fuck.
00:08:49What are you looking at?
00:08:55I'm sorry, Mom.
00:08:59I've tried everything, and I've let you down.
00:09:01You.
00:09:04Me.
00:09:08You dropped something.
00:09:11How did you?
00:09:15What are you doing here?
00:09:17I have a proposition for you.
00:09:20Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:24Well, hold on.
00:09:25Just hear me out.
00:09:26I heard you get fired.
00:09:28I know you don't have any money.
00:09:31Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.
00:09:33I'm doing fine.
00:09:36Really?
00:09:39What if I told you this proposition could solve all your problems?
00:09:44Really?
00:09:46Solve all my problems?
00:09:48I've got a lot of problems.
00:09:50What if I told you I need a wife?
00:09:52I tell you that there are apps for that.
00:09:54For one year.
00:09:55Classy.
00:09:56Look, listen.
00:09:58I have a very important business deal with some very important people involved,
00:10:02and they need to see stability.
00:10:05Okay, so find someone stable.
00:10:07Well, that's just it.
00:10:09I need someone who won't fall in love with me.
00:10:11Someone who will just walk away after the year.
00:10:14And you seem uniquely qualified.
00:10:18What, you think I'm good at walking away?
00:10:19Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:28Well, anything you want.
00:10:29Money.
00:10:30Place to live.
00:10:32Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:35Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:36Wow, um, yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:52It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:10:53You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:07My own wing?
00:11:08Complete privacy.
00:11:10But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:12Play the happy wife.
00:11:13This is, um, specific.
00:11:40I like clarity.
00:11:40I like clarity.
00:11:43Wife agrees to perform very specific.
00:11:59Is there a problem?
00:12:02Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:06What's going on here?
00:12:11No.
00:12:13I'm saying yes.
00:12:28To everything.
00:12:29Do you, Jack Thorne?
00:12:47This is insane.
00:12:48Shut up, boy.
00:12:50Take Lily Dunning to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:54This is fucking nuts.
00:12:55Shut the fuck up.
00:12:56I do.
00:13:01I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:04I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:04You, Jack.
00:13:05I know.
00:13:05I're not mean, you.
00:13:06I know.
00:13:16I am going alone.
00:13:18I thin you.
00:13:19I know.
00:13:20I know.
00:13:22You.
00:13:24I know.
00:13:26I know.
00:13:27I know.
00:13:28I know.
00:13:29I know.
00:13:30This marriage is, it's just a contract.
00:13:52Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
00:14:13Good night, husband.
00:14:19And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:30In the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:43And we have the West Wing Library and the East Wing Pool.
00:14:50How do you find anything in here?
00:14:53One adapts, madam.
00:15:04And this room is the, um...
00:15:11Would you excuse me?
00:15:13Of course.
00:15:14Apologies.
00:15:15Do you want anything?
00:15:27Yes, sir.
00:15:30What are you doing?
00:15:34What are you doing here?
00:16:04Oh, my gosh.
00:16:18Bravo?
00:16:20This is... a lot.
00:16:24The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions, including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:30I can't accept this.
00:16:32You can, and you will.
00:16:35Unless you want to attend the event and chance.
00:16:42You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:45Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:58Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:17:01Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:03And then I said, if you want me to cut this steak, I don't need a knife.
00:17:19I need a chainsaw.
00:17:20Okay.
00:17:22Jackie, there you are.
00:17:24Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:27We simply must celebrate.
00:17:30I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:33That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:36I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:45My God.
00:17:46This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:49I'm sorry, but I didn't even do anything.
00:17:53Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:54Wagstaff Training School?
00:17:56Vivian.
00:17:57Oh, that was it.
00:18:01She was actually a waitress.
00:18:03Or, I don't remember, whatever it was.
00:18:06Excuse me.
00:18:10So, what do you got to say?
00:18:11I have, we're done with the ex.
00:18:13It's all, as I was saying.
00:18:20You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:50Wow.
00:19:12Good?
00:19:14Surprisingly good.
00:19:15Surprisingly good.
00:19:16Well, payment for spying.
00:19:21Payment accepted.
00:19:23You know, the house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:33I had to make do.
00:19:35Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:36Hmm.
00:19:37It's a shame.
00:19:46You can go now.
00:20:03You, um, wanted to see me.
00:20:07Time for your first lesson.
00:20:09My what?
00:20:10Self-defense.
00:20:16Never know when you might need it.
00:20:18I don't know if that's really...
00:20:20Number one.
00:20:21Stance.
00:20:23Move the feet apart.
00:20:26Bend this knee.
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:28And then move this foot forward.
00:20:31Okay?
00:20:32Okay?
00:20:33Now, hands up.
00:20:35Protect the face.
00:20:37Okay?
00:20:38Now, like this.
00:20:41Oh, God.
00:20:42Sorry.
00:20:46I'm not really good at this.
00:20:50We're just getting started.
00:20:51Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:58Rule number one.
00:21:00Stance.
00:21:02Right?
00:21:03Right?
00:21:21Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:34I have a business expense.
00:21:39Business expense.
00:21:41These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:45The best knives are the best chef.
00:21:46Why are you doing this?
00:21:51The contract.
00:21:53No.
00:21:55The real reason.
00:21:57Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:22:02Maybe.
00:22:04You just like watching me.
00:22:10You know that, um...
00:22:11This doesn't change anything.
00:22:15Of course not.
00:22:16This is for your mother.
00:22:27The...
00:22:28No, this is too much.
00:22:30This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:33They second it.
00:22:37I think that's literally the nicest thing a male has ever done for me.
00:22:42What's the catch?
00:22:43We've got a problem.
00:22:56Morning to you, too.
00:22:58So, the inheritance release date is set, but...
00:23:01If anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:23:02No one's gonna find out.
00:23:04Oh, really?
00:23:05Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:23:07It's under control.
00:23:09Is it?
00:23:09Because it seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...
00:23:14I said it's handled.
00:23:27Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:29This Morrison deal...
00:23:30It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:36Don't tell me you're actually fooling.
00:23:37Get out!
00:23:38It's a deal of one ounce.
00:23:39Let's open out.
00:23:39Let's open out.
00:23:47Let's open out for the future.
00:23:49What's at stake here?
00:23:51What do you think?
00:23:54If not, there's a piece of water.
00:23:58Alright.
00:23:58You're welcome.
00:23:59This is Simon Economist.
00:24:00Great appeal.
00:24:01You're welcome.
00:24:02Working with your daughter.
00:24:02Be sure.
00:24:03Get out of this.
00:25:04Oh, no.
00:25:13God.
00:25:14Jack, darling, fancy seeing you here.
00:25:31Vivian?
00:25:32The 82 crystal.
00:25:34Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:37I can still feel it running down my back just thinking about it.
00:25:41We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:43Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:45You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:48Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:53This must be so boring for you.
00:25:56You're so insightful, Vivian.
00:25:58You do bore me.
00:26:00Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:26:03Why don't you go back to, like, chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:26:08So basically, you know the company way that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:11I had a business meeting with Hannah today, and she has basically advised me to say that
00:26:15our investments are not making any profit.
00:26:18Because me and self isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:20So my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:27Quite the whirlwind romance you've got there.
00:26:42What's the catch?
00:26:44There's always a catch.
00:26:46Excuse me, I...
00:26:48Rebecca Chen.
00:26:49Social pages.
00:26:50Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:54This must be some kind of record.
00:26:56Though lately I've been more interested in, uh, business deals.
00:27:01Hmm, what would you say?
00:27:04Love at first sight, or something more contractual?
00:27:08You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:11Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:18We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:21I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:22I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:31Oh, the Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.
00:27:34Oh, great.
00:27:35Another dinner.
00:27:36It's important.
00:27:37They're all important.
00:27:38It's a part of the deal.
00:27:39They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:43You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:46Did I?
00:27:46At least Vivian will be there to talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:56Okay, whatever.
00:27:58All right.
00:28:09Nice.
00:28:11Real mature.
00:28:11No, don't.
00:28:16Fuck.
00:28:18Okay.
00:28:19Okay, fine.
00:28:21You want to go?
00:28:22Nope.
00:28:25No, no, please.
00:28:30Okay, can we?
00:28:31No.
00:28:32Yeah, yeah.
00:28:32No, no, no, no.
00:28:33No, no, no, no.
00:28:35No.
00:28:35Oh, no, no, no.
00:28:39Oh, no, no.
00:28:42Oh, no.
00:28:43Oh, no.
00:28:45Yeah.
00:29:15So, Jack's inheritance is all set, but he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal. That's a problem.
00:29:26Hmm. It's the girl, isn't it? The waitress.
00:29:30You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:33And I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:34Oh, I've done my part. That's underway. And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:42I have everything under control.
00:29:44Oh, really? Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian. You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over, Jack.
00:29:50You haven't overestimated anything. I've just begun.
00:29:58I've got it.
00:29:59Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:30:15I live here.
00:30:16Of course you do.
00:30:17Okay, thanks.
00:30:22Jack.
00:30:23Darling.
00:30:24Should we proceed to the study? We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:29Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:40Vivian?
00:30:43Remember Tokyo?
00:30:45That sake bar?
00:30:46I'm married.
00:30:50Are you now?
00:30:52I hadn't noticed.
00:30:54Uh-huh.
00:30:55You know that feeling when you leave the house and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:31:03I forgot something.
00:31:15Maybe you can...
00:31:17Help me figure it out?
00:31:22Coffee?
00:31:23Oh, no thank you.
00:31:27Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:30Oh.
00:31:31And Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:33Do you, Jack?
00:31:34Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:36Hmm.
00:31:37I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:40And he just absolutely laps up every drop of my coffee.
00:31:49Isn't that right?
00:31:51Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:53Hmm.
00:31:58So.
00:32:01How's Vivian?
00:32:03Focus on your form.
00:32:04You know.
00:32:06I was just wondering.
00:32:07How long the two of you...
00:32:09Ancient history.
00:32:11That's not what I heard.
00:32:12From who?
00:32:14Around.
00:32:16Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:18You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:20You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:23That's business.
00:32:25Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:29But you know what?
00:32:33What's this?
00:32:34Some pretty big business that you haven't been sharing with me?
00:32:41I think Vivian wants some of it, too.
00:32:44But you know what?
00:32:47Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:49I don't want to be lied to.
00:32:51I don't want to be lied to.
00:32:56I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:01I'm not lying, Lily.
00:33:05Don't break my heart.
00:33:08Yeah.
00:33:09I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:10I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:10I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:12I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:12I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:13I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:14I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:14I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:15I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:15I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:16I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:16I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:17I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:18I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:18I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:19I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:19I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:20I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:20I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:21Please act like you know me, there's someone following me.
00:33:48Oh my god, are you okay?
00:33:50Who's following you?
00:33:52That weirdo?
00:33:57Is he gone?
00:34:00I think he's gone.
00:34:10You sure?
00:34:18Like that?
00:34:22I think your technique could use some more.
00:34:24They got the dota rides.
00:34:28Sure, that wasn't me.
00:34:38What?
00:34:50What?
00:34:56Of course.
00:34:57And I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies.
00:35:00I'm sure Jack's put you up to speed on all of this.
00:35:04Um, actually I...
00:35:06Tell me, what's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:10Um, I think...
00:35:12Oh, no comment.
00:35:14How surprising.
00:35:16Excuse me.
00:35:18Great thinking, Lily.
00:35:20All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:22Mom.
00:35:24I love you.
00:35:38I love you.
00:35:40I love you.
00:35:44I love you.
00:35:54But this thing isn't gonna last forever, Jack.
00:35:56I don't know.
00:35:58I mean, what choice do you have?
00:36:00Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:36:02Unless you wanna lose this deal forever.
00:36:04Lunch?
00:36:06I was just on my way out.
00:36:15Think about it, Jack.
00:36:24What was that about?
00:36:26Nothing.
00:36:27Just business.
00:36:28Just business.
00:36:29Of course.
00:36:31Lily, wait.
00:36:36What do you want, Jack?
00:37:00Taking you on a holiday.
00:37:01What?
00:37:02You have time for that?
00:37:04A lot of time.
00:37:07Just us?
00:37:09I know what I want.
00:37:14Oh, what about, um...
00:37:16What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:18I can wait.
00:37:22There she is.
00:37:24What?
00:37:25That smile.
00:37:27It's the one you had when I first laid ass on you.
00:37:30I'll never forget it.
00:37:31You know that I don't just, um...
00:37:34Serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:36Really?
00:37:37Mm-hmm.
00:37:42I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.
00:37:44I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.
00:37:48Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:50Safe.
00:37:53Would you like me to cancel the trips?
00:37:54Yeah.
00:37:58Yeah.
00:38:00We're good.
00:38:02Who sent the message?
00:38:04Vivian Chase.
00:38:10No, babe, I'm sorry.
00:38:11Don't.
00:38:12Please.
00:38:13It's just business.
00:38:14It's business, yeah.
00:38:15Lily, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:26Just shut up and taste this.
00:38:38Mm.
00:38:39This taste of...
00:38:40Incredible?
00:38:41Yeah.
00:38:42I don't know.
00:38:47Jack.
00:38:48Mm-hmm?
00:38:50Do you want more?
00:38:52Um, after this one.
00:38:53No.
00:38:57Jack.
00:39:00Talking about us.
00:39:07How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:12Oh, my God.
00:39:25What was that?
00:39:34Any enemies?
00:39:36Business rivals?
00:39:39No one comes to mind.
00:39:41Security cameras?
00:39:43Being installed as we speak.
00:39:55Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:57Sorry.
00:40:00Thought I saw...
00:40:05I'm worried.
00:40:06You okay?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:23This is so insane.
00:40:26It's probably just kids.
00:40:27Kids?
00:40:29Seriously.
00:40:31Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:32Oh, sorry.
00:40:34What, are you afraid that someone's gonna hear?
00:40:37About our perfect marriage?
00:40:46What are you hiding from me?
00:40:50Hey.
00:40:53Hey, you know that secret room?
00:40:55That you didn't want me to find.
00:40:59I found it.
00:41:00Yeah.
00:41:02Yeah.
00:41:07Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:13Do you want to see it?
00:41:15Surely.
00:41:16Finally.
00:41:47Not most people.
00:41:52So, this is what you're into?
00:41:57Among other things.
00:41:59And all of those specific requirements.
00:42:05We're meant to scare you off.
00:42:07I don't scare you, sir.
00:42:09I'm starting to get that.
00:42:16Show me.
00:42:17Are you sure?
00:42:19Are you?
00:42:47What the hell?
00:42:59So?
00:43:02So?
00:43:03Sir, Miss Chase is here.
00:43:11She says it's urgent.
00:43:13Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there.
00:43:16Final deal points.
00:43:17Jack's leaving in 30.
00:43:18I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.

00:50:41You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:51Watch me.
00:51:03Hey, what happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:07The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:11She played.
00:51:12Did she?
00:51:18That's Jack.
00:51:19I'm sure that's just my oxygenarian neighbor who's a total drama queen.
00:51:23Watch.
00:51:25Gladys?
00:51:28Gladys, is that you?
00:51:30Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:37Sir, coffee.
00:51:41I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:45You might want to see this.
00:51:51What am I looking at here?
00:51:52Wire transfers, shell companies, all leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:58More.
00:51:59I knew it.
00:52:00You might want to see these too, sir.
00:52:02They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:03Son of a bitch.
00:52:10He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:11He sure is.
00:52:13All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:52:17Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial.
00:52:22Sir?
00:52:34They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:36Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:40Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:41Every meeting, every call.
00:52:42All already compiled, sir.
00:52:44I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:45Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:47Some things are worth more than money.
00:52:49I'm calling back, Megan.
00:53:04I'm calling back, Megan.
00:53:04Maybe he's not needing you anymore.
00:53:25Godwin.
00:53:26I'm calling back, Megan.
00:53:30Oh, my God.
00:53:50Think.
00:53:53I got us into this.
00:53:55I can get us out of this.
00:53:57Oh, I can do this.
00:53:58Oh, I can do this.
00:54:00Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.
00:54:05And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:54:08If anything happens to her, that's up to you.
00:54:12Sign the papers.
00:54:15And this all goes away.
00:54:18Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.
00:54:24Deep fics really do hurt everyone involved.
00:54:28Don't they?
00:54:28I always knew you were soft.
00:54:31But this?
00:54:33Throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef.
00:54:36He's not throwing it away.
00:54:38He's giving it to us.
00:54:41All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:45You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:48Always have.
00:54:48I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:57Wait.
00:54:57Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:18Remember your training.
00:55:26Protect your face.
00:55:31Megan!
00:55:32Lenny!
00:55:36Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:39Come on.
00:55:39Come on.
00:55:40Come on.
00:55:41Come on.
00:55:42Of course it's a trap.
00:55:49The question is,
00:55:51what are you going to do about it?
00:55:54Lily!
00:55:55I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:56:01Room 115.
00:56:02Lauren's called the police.
00:56:04Already done.
00:56:04But sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:07She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:14No, no, no, no, no.
00:56:17Lauren, she's there.
00:56:19Lily's there.
00:56:19Hold on, Lily.
00:56:25Hold on.
00:56:39Leave her alone!
00:56:40Shut up!
00:56:42Get away from my wife!
00:56:44Well, well.
00:56:47Hero arrives.
00:56:49Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:53I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:56That's my girl.
00:57:05Oh.
00:57:06I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:18That's for my sister.
00:57:20You son of a bitch.
00:57:24Leo.
00:57:27Lily.
00:57:28About everything.
00:57:30The photos.
00:57:31Vivian.
00:57:32Now?
00:57:33Seriously?
00:57:34I love you.
00:57:36Not for any inheritance.
00:57:39Not for any deal.
00:57:41Just...
00:57:42you.
00:57:45I know.
00:57:45You.
00:57:55Stay right there.
00:57:57Come on.
00:57:57Cuff him.
00:58:09What the hell?
00:58:09This isn't...
00:58:14Possible.
00:58:18And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:58:20Sign the papers.
00:58:21Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:24That proves nothing.
00:58:25I think it might prove something.
00:58:27Yeah, and those photos that you planted?
00:58:29Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:31You can.
00:58:32Yes, they can.
00:58:33And you two are under arrest.
00:58:37You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:39The inheritance, they're nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:43You pitiful it all, Jack.
00:58:44I do.
00:58:54Yes, thank you.
00:58:56Thanks.
00:59:00Now that's a story.
00:59:06Here to twist the knife?
00:59:08Actually.
00:59:09I'm here to get it right.
00:59:12Where did you...
00:59:13Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:16Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:20So, no scandal piece?
00:59:22Oh.
00:59:23There's definitely a scandal.
00:59:25But, not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:30That's actually accurate.
00:59:33I'm a reporter.
00:59:35Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:37Though I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:42Yeah, neither did they.
00:59:43Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:47Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:55We'll be about the inheritance.
00:59:57You really think that I care about any of that now?
01:00:04Just take me home.
01:00:05Yes, dear.
01:00:17Sun's coming up.
01:00:18Must be a new record.
01:00:21It is for me.
01:00:24Any regrets?
01:00:26Only one.
01:00:27That didn't get your chef's special sooner.
01:00:31Could have saved us a lot.
01:00:33Yeah.
01:00:34Wow.
01:00:38Excuse me, sir.
01:00:39Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:41How bad is it?
01:00:43Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:45She's included the last bit you wanted to put in.
01:00:47Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:01:01In 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.
01:01:11Surprised?
01:01:15But your inheritance is gone.
01:01:19Well, the inheritance, yeah.
01:01:21It turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:24You sold the company?
01:01:26It turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:27Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:45Keep them thin, okay?
01:01:46Just like that.
01:01:57This looks good on you.
01:02:05And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:09Suckers.
01:02:10Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:13It depends.
01:02:15Did my wife make it?
01:02:16The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:19Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:27Hang on.
01:02:35Voila.
01:02:40And the best chef in town.
01:02:43You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:48I think that contract expired.
01:02:51Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:57We are gathered here today.
01:03:01No more business deals this time.
01:03:03Just love.
01:03:05Good.
01:03:06Because I have some terms off my own.
01:03:10First, you have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:14Done.
01:03:16Second, no more locked rooms.
01:03:20Without me in it.
01:03:23Is that all?
01:03:25Third,
01:03:27You have to mean it this time?
01:03:29I met it the first time.
01:03:31Just didn't know you.
01:03:34The rings?
01:03:35Actually.
01:03:41Is that?
01:03:42Something old.
01:03:44Something new.
01:03:45Something borrowed.
01:03:47Something
01:03:47not one.
01:03:50For better or worse.
01:04:00For real this time.
01:04:03You make us the bride.
01:04:04So,
01:04:20are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:24What are you...
01:04:26Lauren,
01:04:29tell me back.
01:04:29Mrs. Thorne,
01:04:35are you trying to negotiate
01:04:36new business terms?
01:04:39I don't know.
01:04:41Mr. Thorne.
01:04:44Can you handle them?
01:04:46I thought this wasn't
01:04:47about business anymore.
01:04:50How about you just shut up
01:04:52and kiss your wife?
01:04:53No,
01:05:07you.
01:05:15You are going to die,
01:05:15you.
01:05:16You.
01:05:16You.
01:05:18You know,
