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.
00:02:59Or do scream for me.
00:03:02Hey, wait.
00:03:07Hey.
00:03:16Hey, wait.
00:03:20Hey, wait.
00:03:22Not now we're in it.
00:03:42Jack, my man, Hupasso, so I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:47When you're going to unlock the inheritance bro, the deal of a lifetime isn't going to
00:03:50wait forever.
00:03:52Yeah.
00:03:53Yeah, 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, how can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:10Maybe next time.
00:04:13Thanks.
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 the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:27We're over.
00:04:28Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:31I've got just the plan.
00:04:40Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:43How am I going to find her again?
00:04:52You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:01Are you out of your mind?
00:05:03Vivian and I are done.
00:05:04Never again.
00:05:04She's just business now.
00:05:07Very well, sir.
00:05:09Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:12I'll find another wife.
00:05:14I'm afraid not.
00:05:15But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:20You 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.
00:05:32And 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.
00:05:54Don'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've got to open up your own place.
00:06:23You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:25So you've got to show the world what you got.
00:06:28Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:31But without yours, we're never going to be able to afford Mom's operation.
00:06:36Yeah, and 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.
00:06:48Health 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.
00:07:33Hi.
00:07:34Hi, 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 course not.
00:08:05And why do you think someone like you could work here? I just need a job. Sorry, I'm...
00:08:14Thanks. We'll let you know, okay? You can go now. Bye-bye.
00:08:27Screw this! Fuck.
00:08:43What are you looking at?
00:08:45I'm sorry, Mom. I've tried everything, and I've let you down. You?
00:09:00Me.
00:09:03You dropped something.
00:09:06How did you?
00:09:10What are you doing here?
00:09:11I 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. I 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?
00:09:39For really? Solve all my problems?
00:09:43I'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 I 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.
00:10:25Place to live.
00:10:27Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:29Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:40Wow.
00:10:43Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:47It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:10:48You'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...
00:11:32Specific.
00:11:34I like clarity.
00:11:42Hmm.
00:11:44Wife agrees to perform...
00:11:48Hmm.
00:11:50Very...
00:11:52Specific.
00:11:54Is there a problem?
00:11:57Jack, we need to talk.
00:11:58What's going on here?
00:12:06No.
00:12:12I'm saying yes.
00:12:13To everything.
00:12:37Do you?
00:12:39Jack Thorne.

00:22:57then
00:22:57no one's gonna find out
00:22:59oh really
00:22:59because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town
00:23:02it's under control
00:23:03is it
00:23:04it seems like you're letting your feelings control your
00:23:10I said it's handled
00:23:11just remember what's at stake here
00:23:23this Morrison deal
00:23:25is a deal of a lifetime

00:23:32get out
00:23:33I said it
00:25:03Oh, no.
00:25:08God.
00:25:23Jack, 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.
00:27:18Oh, the Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.
00:27:28Oh, 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.
00:27:38You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:40Did I?
00:27:41At least Vivian will be there to 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.
00:28:15Okay, fine.
00:28:16You want to go?
00:28:17Nope.
00:28:18Ah.
00:28:20No, no, please.
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.
00:33:27I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:28I don't want to be lied to!
00:33:29Please act like you know me
00:33:42There's someone following me
00:33:43Oh 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
00:33:57You sure?
00:34:13Like that?
00:34:17I think your technique could use some more
00:34:19I got the dough to rise
00:34:21You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:27I don't know
00:34:43what
00:34:46of course
00:34:52and i think the real challenge is market penetration

00:43:04Sir, Miss Chase is here. She says it's urgent.
00:43:08Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there.
00:43:11Final deal points.
00:43:12Jess leaving in 30.
00:43:13I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:18Lily, wait.
00:43:21Just go.
00:43:34Lily, I can explain.
00:43:57Can you?
00:44:01Guess the business can't wait.
00:44:04This whole thing is...
00:44:14Let me get this straight.
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...
00:44:27What? 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 I...
00:44:43I know.
00:44:44And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for...
00:44:51Lily?
00:44:54Stand back.
00:44:55What?
00:44:55Stand back, Megan.
00:44:56Come on, let's go.
00:45:19What was that?
00:45:22Lessons 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.
00:45:40Now what?
00:45:43I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:47How are you?
00:45:48I can't.
00:45:49I can't.
00:45:49I can't.
00:45:50I can't.
00:45:50I can't.
00:45:51He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:21Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:33How could you?
00:46:3911 months.
00:46:41Almost a year.
00:46:44I barely knew that anymore.
00:46:51Oh, wait, I need to tell you something.
00:46:59I'm all ears.
00:47:01It's about the deal.
00:47:03It's about Warren, Vivian.
00:47:05Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:08Oh, great.
00:47:10The press.
00:47:10These aren't real.
00:47:22Oh, my sisters say they are very real.
00:47:25Story runs in 48 hours.
00:47:28Only this is what I was just about to tell you.
00:47:30I've been set up.
00:47:33Care to comment, Mrs. Thorne?
00:47:35You know, it's funny.
00:47:38I, for a minute, I really believed.
00:47:42Louie, wait.
00:47:45They're not real.
00:47:48Take a talk, Mr. Thorne.
00:48:00Louie, wait.
00:48:01They're not real.
00:48:05You have to believe me.
00:48:06Look, I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal.
00:48:10Like, I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague.
00:48:15Look, I believed that last night actually meant something.
00:48:18It did.
00:48:20Only what happened between us was...
00:48:21The transaction.
00:48:24That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:25That's not true.
00:48:28And you know it.
00:48:29Do I?
00:48:32Because from where I'm standing,
00:48:34you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:36You got a wife when you needed one.
00:48:38And a body when you wanted one.
00:48:40Louie, that's not it.
00:48:41Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:43Tell me that there's not something more going on here.
00:48:45With the business deal.
00:48:47And your inheritance.
00:48:49Anything more to explain?
00:48:51Okay.
00:48:55That's what I thought.
00:49:02You're a terrible person.
00:49:05If you leave now, you violate the contract.
00:49:08You get nothing.
00:49:10I don't care.
00:49:14I never cared about any of that.
00:49:15Hands up.
00:49:35Protect the face.
00:49:37No, don't.
00:49:40Go?
00:49:42Nope.
00:49:42Warren?
00:49:52Finally, look.
00:49:53About the Morrison deal.
00:49:55It's off.
00:49:56What do you mean it's off?
00:49:57All of it.
00:49:59The deal.
00:50:00The inheritance.
00:50:01I don't want any of it.
00:50:02Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:04I mean, everything that we've worked for.
00:50:06Actually,
00:50:06I think I've heard.
00:50:12I don't want any of it.
00:50:41You can't just hide here forever
00:50:45Watch me
00:50:46Hey
00:50:59What happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:03The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:07Played
00:51:07Did she?
00:51:11If that's Jack
00:51:14I'm sure that's just my octogenarian neighbor who's a total drama queen
00:51:18Watch
00:51:19Gladys
00:51:21Gladys, is that you?
00:51:25Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:33Sir
00:51:34Coffee
00:51:35I did some digging around like you asked, sir
00:51:39You might want to see this
00:51:41What am I looking at here?
00:51:47Wire transfers
00:51:48Shell companies
00:51:49All leading back to Mr. Block
00:51:52More
00:51:53I knew it
00:51:55You might want to see these too, sir
00:51:57They'll illuminate things even more
00:51:59Son of a bitch
00:52:04He's trying to steal the inheritance
00:52:06He sure is
00:52:07All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies
00:52:11Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial
00:52:17Sir
00:52:17They're threatening Lily and her sister
00:52:31Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game
00:52:34Give me everything you can about Warren
00:52:36Every meeting
00:52:37Every call
00:52:38I already compiled, sir
00:52:39I had a feeling we might need this
00:52:40Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:42Some things are worth more than money
00:52:44I'm coming back, Megan
00:52:59I'm coming back, I'll take care of many more
00:53:02Well, I'll take care of many more
00:53:03You're watching
00:53:04Just in the Led ace
00:53:04I'm coming on
00:53:05I'm coming on
00:53:06I'm coming
00:53:07I'm coming back, Megan
00:53:07I'm coming back
00:53:08Nah
00:53:08I'm coming back
00:53:09I'm coming back
00:53:12Okay cią
00:53:22I can get us out of this.
00:53:51Oh, I can do this.
00:53:53Oh, I can do this.
00:53:55Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.
00:54:00And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.
00:54:03If anything happens to her, that's up to you.
00:54:07Sign the papers.
00:54:10And this all goes away.
00:54:13Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.
00:54:19Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:54:22Don't they?
00:54:24I always knew you were soft.
00:54:26But this?
00:54:27Throwing 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.
00:54:47I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:49Hmm.
00:54:50Wait.
00:54:51Let me go, you psycho.
00:54:56Okay.
00:54:57Remember your training.
00:54:59Protect your face.
00:55:03Megan!
00:55:04Let me go, you psycho!
00:55:05Okay.
00:55:06Remember your training.
00:55:20Protect your face.
00:55:23Megan!
00:55:25Lenny!
00:55:26Megan!

00:55:36Of course it's a trap.
00:55:41The question is, what are you going to do about it?
00:55:48Lenny!

00:55:55Room 115.
00:55:57Lauren's called the police.
00:55:58Already done.
00:55:59But, 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.
00:56:13Lily's there.
