00:00:00They say the most primal human things are fighting.
00:00:04And, well, I was about to learn both.
00:00:11Every girl wants to find her prince charming.
00:00:13But, unfortunately, we don't exactly live in a fairytale world.
00:00:17There's no such thing as happily ever after.
00:00:21Where is the duck for table two?
00:00:23Table two ordered something special, chef.
00:00:25Uh, no. Table two ordered the special, and the special is the duck.
00:00:32What is this?
00:00:33Nothing.
00:00:34Yes, exactly. This is nothing. Now, the duck.
00:00:38Just do what your boss says, Lily. You can't afford to lose another job.
00:00:42How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?
00:00:45Table two, the duck.
00:00:51So, I'm thinking about adopting a dog.
00:00:53You know, like, the little tiny dogs that can fit in your handbag.
00:00:56They're so cute.
00:00:57So, anyway, once your inheritance is secure,
00:01:00the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:01:02But, what is this mystery clause you won't tell us about, Jack?
00:01:08Jack.
00:01:10Jack.
00:01:11Hello?
00:01:12Yeah, the duck.
00:01:16Hi.
00:01:20Hi.
00:01:23You ordered the special?
00:01:28Actually, I ordered the...
00:01:29Trust me.
00:01:30Who is that girl?
00:01:32Something about her.
00:01:35It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:36Wow.
00:01:37That was presumptuous.
00:01:39Huh?
00:01:39The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?
00:01:42Don't tell me you're actually impressed with that little slut, Jack.
00:01:44It looks good.
00:01:46The food or the waitress?
00:01:48And what do you think you are doing?
00:01:59I'm making something from the century.
00:02:01You know what?
00:02:01That's it.
00:02:02I've had enough.
00:02:03You are fired.
00:02:04Get out of here.
00:02:04Not this again.
00:02:07What did she say?
00:02:09I am serious this time.
00:02:11You are fired.
00:02:11You get out of here.
00:02:12What?
00:02:13You take this.
00:02:14You give up your act.
00:02:15You get out.
00:02:16No, please, sir.
00:02:17It won't happen again.
00:02:18No, it's no more, Mr. Nice Guys.
00:02:19It's time you get out.
00:02:20You leave.
00:02:21Please.
00:02:21No, no.
00:02:22Go ahead.
00:02:23Full call.
00:02:23Man.
00:02:24You're tired.
00:02:27They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:31Yeah, the trash.
00:02:35God.
00:02:37Asshole.
00:02:47Don't scream.
00:02:57Don't scream.
00:02:58Don't scream, babe.
00:03:00Or do scream for me.
00:03:02Don't scream.
00:03:02Don't scream.
00:03:02Don't scream.
00:03:03Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:03:07Hey.
00:03:16Hey, wait.
00:03:17Not now, Warren.
00:03:42Jack, my man.
00:03:43Cupasso.
00:03:44So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:47When you're going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:49The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:52Yeah.
00:03:54Yeah, come on, are you even listening?
00:03:56I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:03:59And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:04:01Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:02Um.
00:04:05How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:10Maybe next time.
00:04:11Thanks.
00:04:15Call me.
00:04:16I'll call you back.
00:04:17Jack, come on.
00:04:18He'll lock on me.
00:04:20Jack's never done that before.
00:04:21If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then...
00:04:25The Morrison deal's over.
00:04:27We're over.
00:04:29Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:32I've got just the plan.
00:04:34Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:51How am I going to find her again?
00:04:52You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:01You out of your mind?
00:05:03Vivian and I are done.
00:05:04Never again.
00:05:05She's just...
00:05:07business now.
00:05:08Very well, sir.
00:05:10Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:13I'll find another wife.
00:05:14I'm afraid not.
00:05:16But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:19You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:25I know, I know.
00:05:26And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.
00:05:30The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:33And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.
00:05:39Especially your wife.
00:05:41Or I lose everything.
00:05:43Everything.
00:05:43Everything.
00:05:43Everything.
00:05:49Don't complain about things.
00:05:55I don't complain.
00:05:56I don't.
00:05:57All I'm saying is, you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:01I am living in the real world.
00:06:08Really?
00:06:09Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:13Creative differences.
00:06:15There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:19Lily.
00:06:21You gotta open up your own place.
00:06:23You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:25So you gotta show the world what you got.
00:06:28Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:31But without yours, we're never gonna be able to afford Mom's operation.
00:06:36Yeah, it'll be all my fault.
00:06:39Lily.
00:06:42There is an opening at my office.
00:06:45Seriously?
00:06:46It's stable.
00:06:47Health insurance.
00:06:49401k.
00:06:50I'd rather die.
00:06:51You'd rather be broke.
00:06:52No, I'd rather...
00:06:53How can you help Mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:09Fine.
00:07:09Yeah, you're right.
00:07:11Let's do it.
00:07:12Hi.
00:07:20Hi.
00:07:34Name.
00:07:35Hi, name? Lily Dunning. Can I help you? Yes, I'm here for the job interview. My sister's
00:07:47Megan. She works here. Last place of employment? Chez Francois. A restaurant? Yes, I'm a chef.
00:07:57My passion's cooking, so I... And does this look like a restaurant to you? No. No, of
00:08:04course not. And why do you think someone like you could work here? Um, I just need a job.
00:08:13Sorry, I'm... Thanks, uh, we'll let you know, okay? You can go now. Bye-bye.
00:08:27Ah! Screw this!
00:08:30Fuck.
00:08:40What are you looking at?
00:08:52I'm sorry, Mom. I've tried everything and I've let you down.
00:08:55You.
00:09:00Me.
00:09:03You dropped something.
00:09:06How did you?
00:09:10What are you doing here?
00:09:12I have a proposition for you.
00:09:15Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:19Well, hold on. Just hear me out. I heard you get fired.
00:09:23I know you don't have any money.
00:09:26Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.
00:09:28I'm doing fine. Thank you.
00:09:31Really?
00:09:34What if I told you this proposition could solve all your problems?
00:09:39Really?
00:09:41Solve all my problems?
00:09:42I've got a lot of problems.
00:09:45What if I told you I need a wife?
00:09:47I tell you that there are apps for that?
00:09:49For one year.
00:09:50Classy.
00:09:51Look, listen.
00:09:53I have a very important business deal with some very important people involved.
00:09:57And they need to see stability.
00:10:00Okay, so find someone stable.
00:10:02Well, that's just it.
00:10:04I need someone who won't fall in love with me.
00:10:06Someone who will just walk away after the year.
00:10:09And you seem uniquely qualified.
00:10:13What, you think I'm good at walking away?
00:10:21Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:23Well, anything you want.
00:10:24Money.
00:10:26Place to live.
00:10:27Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:30Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:33You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:02My own wing?
00:11:03Complete privacy.
00:11:05But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:07Play the happy wife.
00:11:08This is, um...
00:11:30Specific.
00:11:34I like clarity.
00:11:45Wife agrees to perform...
00:11:48Very specific.
00:11:54Is there a problem?
00:11:55Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:01What's going on here?
00:12:02What's going on here?
00:12:06No.
00:12:07I'm saying yes.
00:12:13I'm saying yes.
00:12:17To everything.
00:12:24To everything.
00:12:24Do you?
00:12:38Jack Thorne.
00:12:41This is insane.
00:12:43Shut up, boy.
00:12:45Take Lily Dunning to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:49This is fucking nuts.
00:12:50This is fucking nuts.
00:12:50Shut the fuck up.
00:12:53I do.
00:12:55I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:12:59Go to're, and you are ancient.
00:13:02Go to doctors, Pete.
00:13:03Finish.
00:13:03Go to kids.
00:13:07Go to girls.
00:13:10Go to girls.
00:13:11Go to girls.
00:13:11Go to girls.
00:13:12Go to girls.
00:13:12Go.
00:13:13I
00:13:43This marriage is, it's just a contract.
00:13:52Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
00:14:07What?
00:14:08Good night, husband.
00:14:13And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:25In the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:38And we have the West Wing Library and the East Wing Pool.
00:14:43How do you find anything in here?
00:14:48One of dots, madam.
00:14:59And this room is the, um...
00:15:03Oh, dear.
00:15:04Would you excuse me?
00:15:08Of course.
00:15:09Apologies.
00:15:10So, let's see.
00:15:10I can't hear you.
00:15:11That's it.
00:15:11I can't hear you.
00:15:15I can't hear you.
00:15:16I can't hear you.
00:15:17What are you doing here?
00:15:47Oh my gosh.
00:16:08Bravo?
00:16:13This is a lot.
00:16:18The contract stipulates appropriate is higher for all occasions, including tonight's
00:16:23charity gala.
00:16:24I can't accept this.
00:16:25You can, and you won't.
00:16:29Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:33You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:38Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:40Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:53Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:00Hi.
00:17:02Hi.
00:17:03And then I said, do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:12I don't need a knife.
00:17:13I need a chainsaw.
00:17:15Okay.
00:17:17Jackie, there you are.
00:17:19Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:22We simply must celebrate.
00:17:24I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:27That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:31I can think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:37My God.
00:17:40This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:43I'm sorry, but I didn't, I didn't even do anything.
00:17:47Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:49Wagstaff Training School?
00:17:51Vivian.
00:17:53Oh, that was it.
00:17:55She was actually a waitress.
00:17:57Or, I don't remember, whatever it was.
00:18:00Excuse me.
00:18:03So, what do you guys have?
00:18:06Watch out for the eggs.
00:18:09I'm sorry.
00:18:10You're sorry.
00:18:11But, I'm sorry.
00:18:13So, as I was saying.
00:18:14Mmm.
00:18:15Hmm.
00:18:17Mmm.
00:18:18Mm.
00:18:19Mm.
00:18:20Mm.
00:18:21Mm.
00:18:22Mm.
00:18:23Mm.
00:18:24Mm.
00:18:25Mm.
00:18:26Mm.
00:18:27Mm.
00:18:28Mm.
00:18:29Mm.
00:18:30Mm.
00:18:31Mm.

00:18:34Mm.
00:18:35Mm.
00:18:36Mm.
00:18:37Mm.
00:18:38You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:19:05Wow.
00:19:06Good?
00:19:08Surprisingly good.
00:19:10Surprisingly good.
00:19:13Payment for spying.
00:19:16Payment accepted.
00:19:18You know, the house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:27I had to make do.
00:19:29Yeah, well I never cook.
00:19:31It's a shame.
00:19:33You can go now.
00:19:42You, um, wanted to see me?
00:19:48Time for your first lesson.
00:19:51My what?
00:19:55Self-defense.
00:19:56Never know when you might need it.
00:20:01I don't know if that's really...
00:20:05Number one.
00:20:06Stance.
00:20:07Move the feet apart.
00:20:08Bend this knee.
00:20:09Yeah.
00:20:10Then move this foot forward.
00:20:11Okay?
00:20:12Okay.
00:20:13Good.
00:20:14Okay.
00:20:15Okay.
00:20:16Okay.
00:20:17Now, hands up.
00:20:18Protect the face.
00:20:19Okay.
00:20:20Now, like this.
00:20:22Oh, God, sorry.
00:20:23Not really good at this.
00:20:24We're just getting started.
00:20:25Oh.
00:20:26Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:27Rule number one.
00:20:28Rule number one.
00:20:29We're just getting started.
00:20:30Oh, man.
00:20:31Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:33Rule number one.
00:20:34Stance.
00:20:35Right?
00:20:36No.
00:20:37No.
00:20:38Like this.
00:20:39Oh, God, sorry.
00:20:40I'm not really good at this.
00:20:43We're just getting started.
00:20:45Oh.
00:20:46Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:51Rule number one.
00:20:53Stance.
00:20:54Right?
00:20:56A few minutes.
00:20:57Yeah.
00:20:58Right?
00:20:59Yeah.
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:01Yeah.
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:03Right?
00:21:04Yeah.
00:21:05Yeah.
00:21:06No.
00:21:07Yeah.
00:21:09Yeah.
00:21:10Yeah.
00:21:22Yeah.
00:21:23Yeah.
00:21:24Yeah.
00:21:25Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:28I have a business expense.
00:21:32Business expense.
00:21:35These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:39The best knives to the best chef.
00:21:42Why are you doing this?
00:21:45The contract.
00:21:47No.
00:21:49The real reason.
00:21:51Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:21:54Maybe you just like watching me.
00:22:01You know that, um, this doesn't change anything.
00:22:08Of course not.
00:22:11This is for your mother.
00:22:17No, this is too much.
00:22:20It should cover the whole thing.
00:22:23They second it.
00:22:26I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
00:22:32What's the catch?
00:22:36We've got a problem.
00:22:38Morning to you too.
00:22:39Morning to you too.
00:22:40So, the inheritance release date is set, but if anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:22:56No one's gonna find out.
00:22:58Oh really?
00:22:59Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:23:01It's under control.
00:23:02Is it?
00:23:03It seems like you're letting your feelings control your...
00:23:05I said it's handled.
00:23:07Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:08This Morrison deal...
00:23:09Is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:10Don't tell me you're actually fooling me.
00:23:11Get out.
00:23:12Get out.
00:23:13Get out.
00:23:27Get out.
00:23:32Get out.
00:25:04Oh, no.
00:25:08God.
00:25:09Jack, darling.
00:25:25Bounty seeing you here.
00:25:26Vivian?
00:25:27The 82 crystal.
00:25:29Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:32I can still feel it running down my back just thinking about it.
00:25:36We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:39Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:41You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:43Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:48This must be so boring for you.
00:25:51You're so insightful, Vivian.
00:25:53You do bore me.
00:25:55Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:25:58Why don't you go back to, like, chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:26:03So basically, you know, the company way that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:06I had a business meeting with Hannah today, and she has basically advised me to say that
00:26:11our investments are not making any profit.
00:26:13The company itself isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:15So my proposal for next year would be basically
00:26:18Quite a whirlwind romance you've got there.
00:26:37What's the catch?
00:26:39There's always a catch.
00:26:41Excuse me.
00:26:42Rebecca Chen.
00:26:44Social pages.
00:26:45Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:49This must be some kind of record.
00:26:52Though lately I've been more interested in, uh, business deals.
00:26:56Hmm.
00:26:56What would you say?
00:26:59Love at first sight or something more contractual?
00:27:04You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:06Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:13We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:15I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:18I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:18Oh, the Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.
00:27:27Oh, great.
00:27:30Another dinner.
00:27:31It's important.
00:27:32They're all important.
00:27:33It's a part of the deal.
00:27:36They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:39You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:40Did I?
00:27:41At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:46To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:50Whatever.
00:27:51Okay.
00:27:52Whatever.
00:28:04Huh.
00:28:04Nice.
00:28:06Real mature.
00:28:06No, don't.
00:28:11Fuck.
00:28:13Okay.
00:28:14Okay, fine.
00:28:16You want to go?
00:28:18Nope.
00:28:18Ah.
00:28:20No, no, babe.
00:28:22Ah.
00:28:25Okay, can we?
00:28:26No.
00:28:27Yeah?
00:28:27Yeah?
00:28:28No, no, no, no.
00:28:28No, no, no, no.
00:28:29No, no, no, no.
00:28:30Let's go.
00:28:31No.
00:28:31No, no, no, no, no.
00:29:01Yeah.
00:29:12So Jack's inheritance is all set.
00:29:15But he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:19That's a problem.
00:29:21Hmm.
00:29:22It's the girl, isn't it?
00:29:23The waitress.
00:29:25You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:28And I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:29Oh, I've done my part.
00:29:32That's underway.
00:29:33And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:37I have everything under control.
00:29:40Oh, really?
00:29:40Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.
00:29:42You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over, Jack.
00:29:46You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:48I've just begun.
00:29:49I've got it.
00:29:54I've got it.
00:30:06Bunny, how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:30:10I live here.
00:30:10Of course we do.
00:30:14Okay, thanks.
00:30:18Jack.
00:30:18Darling.
00:30:19Should we proceed to the study?
00:30:20We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:23Yeah.
00:30:24Yeah.
00:30:24Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:35Vivian?
00:30:38Remember Tokyo?
00:30:40That sake bar?
00:30:41I'm married.
00:30:44Are you now?
00:30:47I hadn't noticed.
00:30:49Uh-huh.
00:30:50You know that feeling when you leave the house and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:31:06I forgot something.
00:31:09Maybe you can help me figure it out.
00:31:14Coffee?
00:31:20Oh, no thank you.
00:31:22Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:25Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:28See you, Jack.
00:31:29Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:31I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:34And he just absolutely laps up every drop of my coffee.
00:31:44Isn't that right?
00:31:46Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:50Hmm.
00:31:53So.
00:31:56How's Vivian?
00:31:58Focus on your form.
00:31:59You know.
00:32:01I was just wondering.
00:32:02How long the two of you...
00:32:04Ancient history.
00:32:06That's not what I heard.
00:32:07From who?
00:32:09Around.
00:32:11Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:12You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:15You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:18That's business.
00:32:20Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:24But you know what?
00:32:28What's this?
00:32:31Some pretty big business.
00:32:33That you haven't been sharing with me.
00:32:35I think Vivian wants some of it, too.
00:32:37But you know what?
00:32:42Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:47Sad.
00:32:48Watch your stance.
00:32:53I don't want to be lied to.
00:32:56I'm not lying, Lily.
00:33:00Don't break my heart.
00:33:04Yeah.
00:33:04I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:05I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:32Fuck.
00:33:33Please act like you know me, there's someone following me.
00:33:44Oh my god, are you okay?
00:33:45Who's following you?
00:33:48That weirdo?
00:33:54Is he gone?
00:33:56I think he's gone.
00:34:03You sure?
00:34:13Like that?
00:34:17I think your technique could use some more.
00:34:20I got the dough to rise.
00:34:24Sure that wasn't me?
00:34:33What?
00:34:47Of course.
00:34:52And I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies.
00:34:56I'm sure Jack's brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:34:59Um, actually, I...
00:35:02Tell me, what's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:05Um, I think...
00:35:09Oh, no comment.
00:35:10How surprising.
00:35:12Excuse me.
00:35:13Oh, great thinking, Lily.
00:35:15All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:29I love you.
00:35:49But this thing isn't going to last forever, Jack.
00:35:52I don't know.
00:35:53I mean, what choice do you have?
00:35:56Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:35:57Unless you want to lose this deal forever.
00:36:02Lunch?
00:36:05I was just on my way out.
00:36:10Think about it, Jack.
00:36:19What was that about?
00:36:22Nothing.
00:36:22Just business.
00:36:23Just business.
00:36:25Of course.
00:36:27Lily, wait.
00:36:32What do you want, Jack?
00:36:33Taking you on a holiday.
00:36:56What?
00:36:57You have time for that?
00:37:00A lot of time.
00:37:01Just us?
00:37:04Well, they know what I want.
00:37:09Oh, what about, um...
00:37:11What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:13I can wait.
00:37:17There she is.
00:37:19What?
00:37:19That smile.
00:37:20That smile.
00:37:21That smile.
00:37:21It's the one you have when I first laid eyes on you.
00:37:25I'll never forget it.
00:37:27You know that I don't just, um...
00:37:30serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:32Really?
00:37:33Mm-hmm.
00:37:33I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.
00:37:38I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.
00:37:44Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:46Safe.
00:37:48Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:53Yeah.
00:37:53We're good.
00:37:57Who sent the message?
00:37:59Vivian Chase.
00:38:05Okay, I'm sorry.
00:38:06Don't.
00:38:06Please.
00:38:07It's just business.
00:38:08It's business, yeah.
00:38:09I get it.
00:38:10Lily, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:21Just shut up and taste this.
00:38:33Mm.
00:38:34It's a taste of...
00:38:35Incredible?
00:38:36Yeah.
00:38:37Yeah, I know.
00:38:38Mm.
00:38:40Jack.
00:38:43Mm-hmm?
00:38:45Do you want more?
00:38:47Um, after this one.
00:38:48No.
00:38:50Let the food...
00:38:52Jack.
00:38:55Talking about us.
00:39:02How long are we going to keep on doing this?
00:39:03Oh, my God.
00:39:21What was that?
00:39:29Any enemies?
00:39:30Business rivals?
00:39:33No one comes to mind.
00:39:36Security cameras?
00:39:39Being installed as we speak.
00:39:50Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:51I'm sorry.
00:39:52Sorry.
00:39:55It's not a cell.
00:40:00I'm worried.
00:40:01You okay?
00:40:03Yeah.
00:40:14Yeah.
00:40:14This is so insane.
00:40:18This is so insane.
00:40:21It's probably just kids.
00:40:22Kids?
00:40:24Seriously.
00:40:26Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:27Oh, sorry.
00:40:29What are you afraid that someone's gonna hear?
00:40:32About our perfect marriage?
00:40:33What are you hiding from me?
00:40:45Hey.
00:40:48Hey, you know that secret room?
00:40:50That you didn't want me to find.
00:40:52I found it.
00:40:57Yeah.
00:41:02Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:08Do you want to see it?
00:41:11Show me.
00:41:11Show me.
00:41:11Most people run.
00:41:41I'm not most people.
00:41:47So.
00:41:50This is what you're into?
00:41:52Among other things.
00:41:54And all of those...
00:41:57specific requirements.
00:42:00We're meant to scare you off.
00:42:02I don't scare you so.
00:42:04Starting to get that.
00:42:11Show me.
00:42:13You sure?
00:42:15Are you?
00:44:16You sleep with him, and then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:19That's complicated.
00:44:21When isn't it with you?
00:44:23Look, maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:26What? A mistake?
00:44:28That you were right?
00:44:30Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:32No, I want you to be happy.
00:44:35And are you?
00:44:37I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:40I mean, he paid for mom's operation, so that's cool, but...
00:44:43I know.
00:44:44And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for it.
00:44:52Lily?
00:44:54Stand back.
00:44:55What?
00:44:55Stand back, Megan.
00:44:56Keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it.
00:45:02What?
00:45:03Hey!
00:45:05No!
00:45:05Oh!
00:45:07Here you go!
00:45:08Stop, motherfucker!

00:45:10Oh, my God!
00:45:12Fuck you!
00:45:12Come on, let's go!
00:45:21What was that?
00:45:23Lessons with Jack.
00:45:24Jack taught you that?
00:45:26Yeah.
00:45:27Yeah.
00:45:28Dude's getting better by a minute!
00:45:30I know.
00:45:31Oh, man.
00:45:34You okay?
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:38God, things are supposed to be so simple.
00:45:41Now what?
00:45:43I don't even know it's real anymore.
00:45:47Oh, honey.
00:45:48I can't.

00:54:10And this all goes away.
00:54:13Like those photos of you of me from that reporter suddenly went away.
00:54:17Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved, don't they?
00:54:24I always knew you were soft.
00:54:26But this, throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef.
00:54:30He's not throwing it away.
00:54:33He's giving it to us.
00:54:36All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:39You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:42Always have.
00:54:45I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:49Hmm.
00:54:50Wait.
00:54:51Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:12Okay.
00:55:13Remember your training.
00:55:14Protect your face.
00:55:15Megan!
00:55:16Lenny!
00:55:17Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:18Come on, please.
00:55:19Come on.
00:55:20Come on.
00:55:21Come on.
00:55:22Of course it's a trap.
00:55:24The question is, what are you gonna do about it?
00:55:25Lennie!
00:55:26No!
00:55:27No!
00:55:28No!
00:55:29No!
00:55:30No!
00:55:31No!
00:55:32No!
00:55:33No!
00:55:34No!
00:55:35No!
00:55:36No!
00:55:37No!
00:55:38No!
00:55:39No!
00:55:40No!
00:55:41No!
00:55:42No!
00:55:43No!
00:55:44No!
00:55:45No!
00:55:46No!
00:55:47No!
00:55:48No!
00:55:49No!
00:55:50No!
00:55:51No!
00:55:52No!
00:55:53I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:55:56Room 115.
00:55:57Lauren's called the police.
00:55:58Already done.
00:55:59But, but sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:02She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:09No, no, no, no, no.
00:56:12Lauren, she's there.
00:56:14Lily's there!
00:56:19Hold on, Lily.
00:56:20Hold on.
00:56:23Leave her alone!
00:56:24Shut up!
00:56:25Get away from my wife!
00:56:26Well, well.
00:56:27A hero arrives.
00:56:28Don't do it, Jackie boy!
00:56:29Agh!
00:56:32Agh!
00:56:33Agh!
00:56:34Agh!
00:56:35Agh!
00:56:36Agh!
00:56:37Agh!
00:56:38Get away from my wife!
00:56:39Well, well.
00:56:40Agh!
00:56:41Agh!
00:56:42A hero arrives.
00:56:43Agh!
00:56:44Agh!
00:56:45Agh!
00:56:46Agh!
00:56:47Agh!
00:56:48Agh!
00:56:49Agh!
00:56:50Agh!
00:56:51Agh!
00:56:52Agh!
00:56:53Agh!
00:56:54Agh!
00:56:55Agh!
00:56:56Agh!
00:56:57Oh, I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:13That's for my sister, you son of a bitch.
00:57:22Louis, not everything.
00:57:25The photos, Vivian.
00:57:27Now, seriously?
00:57:29I love you.
00:57:31Not for any inheritance, not for any deal.
00:57:36Just, you know.
00:57:40I know.
00:57:49You, stay right there.
00:57:52Come on, cover it.
00:57:57What the hell?
00:58:08This isn't...
00:58:09Possible.
00:58:09And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:58:15Sign the papers.
00:58:16Deepfix really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:19That proves nothing.
00:58:20I think it might prove something.
00:58:22Yeah, and those photos that you planted.
00:58:24Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:26You can't?
00:58:27Yes, they can.
00:58:28And you two are under arrest.
00:58:33You don't regret this, Jack.
00:58:34The inheritance, they're nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:37You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:42I do.
00:58:49Yes, thank you.
00:58:51Thanks.
00:58:52Now, that's a story.
00:59:01Here to twist the knife?
00:59:03Actually...
00:59:04I'm here to get it right.
00:59:07Where did you...
00:59:08Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:11Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:15So, no scandal piece?
00:59:17Oh, there's definitely a scandal.
00:59:20But, not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:26That's...
00:59:27Actually accurate.
00:59:28I'm a reporter.
00:59:30Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:31Though, I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:37Yeah, neither did they.
00:59:39Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:42Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:51Only about the inheritance.
00:59:52I really think that I care about any of that now.
00:59:59Just take me home.
01:00:01Yes, dear.
01:00:12Sun's coming, huh?
01:00:13Must be a new record.
01:00:16It is for me.
01:00:19Any regrets?
01:00:21Only one.
01:00:24That didn't get your chef's special sooner.
01:00:26Could have saved us a lot of trouble.
01:00:28Yeah.
01:00:29How?
01:00:29Excuse me, sir.
01:00:34Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:36How bad is it?
01:00:38Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:40She's included the last bit you wanted to put in.
01:00:43Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:00:56In 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.
01:01:06Surprised?
01:01:10But your inheritance is gone.
01:01:14Well, the inheritance, yeah.
01:01:16But turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:19You sold the company?
01:01:21Turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:22Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:40Keep them thin, okay?
01:01:41Just like that.
01:01:41This was good audio.
01:02:00And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:04Suckers.
01:02:04Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:08Depends.
01:02:10Did my wife make it?
01:02:11The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:14Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:22Hang on.
01:02:23Voila.
01:02:35And the best chef in town.
01:02:38You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:43I think that contract expired.
01:02:46Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:53We are gathered here today.
01:02:56No more business deals this time.
01:02:58Just love.
01:03:00Good.
01:03:01Because I have some terms of my own.
01:03:05First, you have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:09Done.
01:03:11Second, no more locked rooms.
01:03:15Without me in it.
01:03:18Is that all?
01:03:20Third, you have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:23Do you have to eat it this time?
01:03:24I met it the first time.
01:03:26Just didn't know yet.
01:03:29The rings?
01:03:30Actually.
01:03:36Is that...
01:03:37Something old.
01:03:39Something new.
01:03:40Something borrowed.
01:03:42Something...
01:03:44Not one.
01:03:45For better or worse.
01:03:55For real this time.
01:03:58You make us the bright.
01:03:59So.
01:04:16Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:20What are you...
01:04:21Lauren, tell me back.
01:04:24Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:34I don't know.
01:04:36Mr. Thorne.
01:04:39Can you handle them?
01:04:41I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:43How about you just shut up.
01:04:47And kiss your wife.
01:04:53I don't know.
01:05:05You
