00:00:00They say the most primal human things are fighting, and, well, I was about to learn both.
00:00:17Every girl wants to find her Prince Charming, but unfortunately, we don't exactly live in a fairy tale world.
00:00:23There's no such thing as happily ever after.
00:00:26Where is the duck for table two?
00:00:29Table two ordered something special, Chef.
00:00:34No, table two ordered the special, and the special is the duck. What is this?
00:00:39Nothing.
00:00:40Yes, exactly. This is nothing. Now, the duck.
00:00:44Just do what your boss says, Lily. You can't afford to lose another job.
00:00:48How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?
00:00:51Table two, the duck.
00:00:53So, I'm thinking about adopting a dog. You know, like the little tiny dogs that can fit in your handbag. They're so cute.
00:01:03So, anyway, once your inheritance is secure, the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:01:08But, what is this mystery clause you won't tell us about, Jack?
00:01:14Jack.
00:01:14Jack.
00:01:16Jack. Hello?
00:01:17Yeah, the dog.
00:01:22Hi.
00:01:24Hi.
00:01:25You ordered the special?
00:01:32Actually, I ordered the...
00:01:33Trust me.
00:01:35Who is that girl?
00:01:37Something about her.
00:01:39It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:41Wow.
00:01:42That was presumptuous.
00:01:44Huh?
00:01:44The waitress, not bringing you what I ordered?
00:01:46Don't tell me you're actually impressed by that little 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 she say?
00:02:14I'm serious this time. You're fired. You get out of here.
00:02:17What?
00:02:18You take this.
00:02:19You clean 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.
00:02:25Please.
00:02:26No, no.
00:02:27Ready? Full call.
00:02:28Man.
00:02:29You're tired.
00:02:32They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:36Yeah, the trash.
00:02:42Asshole.
00:02:44Don't scream. Don't scream. Don't scream, babe.
00:03:04Or do not scream for me.
00:03:06Hey.
00:03:20Hey, wait.
00:03:20Not now, Warren.
00:03:46Jack, my man.
00:03:47Hupasso.
00:03:48So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:51When you're going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:53The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:56Yeah.
00:03:57Yeah, come on, are you even listening?
00:04:00I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:04:03And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:04:05Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:06Um.
00:04:09How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:14Maybe next time.
00:04:15Thanks.
00:04:19Call me, Jack.
00:04:20I'll call you back.
00:04:21Jack, come on.
00:04:22He hung up on me.
00:04:24Jack's never done that before.
00:04:25If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then...
00:04:29The Morrison deal's over.
00:04:31We're over.
00:04:33Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:36I've got just the plan.
00:04:38Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:54How am I going to find her again?
00:04:56You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:04You out of your mind?
00:05:06Vivian and I are done.
00:05:07Never again.
00:05:08She's just...
00:05:10business now.
00:05:11Very well, sir.
00:05:13Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:16I'll find another wife.
00:05:17I'm afraid not.
00:05:18But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:23You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:28I know, I know.
00:05:29And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.
00:05:33The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:35And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.
00:05:42Especially your wife.
00:05:44Or I'll lose everything.
00:05:46Everything.
00:05:56Don't complain about things.
00:05:57I don't complain.
00:05:59I don't.
00:05:59All I'm saying is, you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:03I am living in the real world.
00:06:05I am living in the real world.
00:06:10Really?
00:06:11Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:15Creative...
00:06:16Differences.
00:06:17There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:21Lily.
00:06:23You gotta open up your own place.
00:06:25You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:27So you gotta show the world what you got.
00:06:30Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:34But without yours, we're never gonna be able to afford Mom's operation.
00:06:37Yeah, and it'll be all my fault.
00:06:42Lily.
00:06:44There is an opening at my office.
00:06:47Seriously?
00:06:49It's stable.
00:06:50Health insurance.
00:06:51401k.
00:06:52I'd rather die.
00:06:53You'd rather be broke.
00:06:55No, I'd rather...
00:06:56How can you help Mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:11Fine.
00:07:11Yeah, you're right.
00:07:13Let's do it.
00:07:14Hi.
00:07:39Hi.
00:07:39Hey. Name? Lily Dunning. Can I help you? Yes, I'm here for the job interview. My sister's
00:07:49Megan. She works here. Last place of employment? Chez Francois. A restaurant? Yes, I'm a chef.
00:07:58My passion's cooking, so I... And does this look like a restaurant to you? No. No, of course
00:08:05not. And why do you think someone like you could work here? Um, I just need a job. Sorry,
00:08:15I'm... Thanks. We'll let you know, okay? You can go now. Bye-bye.
00:08:30Screw this.
00:08:31Fuck.
00:08:45What are you looking at?
00:08:52I'm sorry, Mom. I've tried everything, and I've let you down.
00:08:56You?
00:08:56Who? Me. You dropped something. How did you?
00:09:10What are you doing here? I have a proposition for you. Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions
00:09:17from strange men in suits. Well, hold on. Just hear me out. I heard you get fired. I know
00:09:24you don't have any money. Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot. I'm doing fine. Thank
00:09:30you. Really? What if I told you this proposition could solve all your problems? Really? Solve all
00:09:41my problems? I've got a lot of problems. What if I told you I need a wife? I tell you that
00:09:48there are apps for that. For one year. Classy. Look, listen. I have a very important business
00:09:54deal with some very important people involved, and they need to see stability. Okay, so find
00:10:01someone stable. Well, that's just it. I need someone who won't fall in love with me. Someone
00:10:07who will just walk away after the year. And you seem uniquely qualified. What, you think
00:10:13I'm good at walking away? Okay, well, what's it for me? Well, anything you want. Money, place
00:10:26to live. Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams. Just think of it as a business
00:10:31deal. Wow. Yeah, that's a really big diamond. It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:10:56You'll have your whole wing of the house. My own wing? Complete privacy. But you will
00:11:04have to attend events with me. Play the happy wife.
00:11:26you'll have to attend events with me. This is, um, specific. I like clarity.
00:11:44Wife agrees to perform. Very specific. Is there a problem?
00:11:56Jack? Jack, we need to talk. What's going on here? No. I'm saying yes. To everything.
00:12:26Do you? Jack Thorne. This is insane. Shut up, boy. Take Lily Dunning to be your lawfully
00:12:46wedded wife. This is fucking nonsense. Shut the fuck up. I do.
00:12:52I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:12:57I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:12:57I now pronounce you husband and wife. Goodbye.
00:13:06And with the upper arm if you haven't established its lovely manufacturers, you'll ask.
00:13:08I'm hope I'd say guys don't rise and fall and me!
00:13:09I'm a player. I'm so glad I'm here. I believe his differences are coming.
00:13:11Love.communications.
00:13:13Cheers!
00:13:23This marriage is, it's just a contract.
00:13:44Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
00:14:06Good night, husband.
00:14:10And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of the evening.
00:14:21The room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:25And we have the West Wing Library and the East Wing Pool.
00:14:39How do you find anything in here?
00:14:44One adapts, madam.
00:14:50And this room is the, um, oh dear.
00:15:03Would you excuse me?
00:15:04Of course.
00:15:05Apologies.
00:15:06What are you doing?
00:15:07I'm sorry.
00:15:08I'm sorry.
00:15:09I'm sorry.
00:15:11I'm sorry.
00:15:12What are you doing here?
00:15:18What are you doing here?
00:15:48Oh my gosh.
00:16:06Bravo?
00:16:09This is... a lot.
00:16:13The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions,
00:16:17including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:18I... I can't accept this.
00:16:21You can.
00:16:22And you won't.
00:16:24Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:31You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:33Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:35Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:48Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:16:51And then I said, do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:06I don't need a knife.
00:17:07I need a chainsaw.
00:17:08Okay.
00:17:10Jackie, there you are.
00:17:12Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:15We simply must celebrate.
00:17:16I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:20But that doesn't mean we can't celebrate.
00:17:23Right?
00:17:24I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:33My God.
00:17:34This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:36I'm sorry, but I didn't...
00:17:38I didn't even...
00:17:39do anything.
00:17:40Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:42Wagstaff Training School?
00:17:44Vivian.
00:17:47Oh, that was it.
00:17:48She was actually a waitress.
00:17:50Or...
00:17:51I don't remember.
00:17:52Whatever it was.
00:17:53Excuse me.
00:17:54So...
00:17:55What you got to have.
00:17:56Watch out for the ex.
00:17:57As I was saying.
00:17:58Hmm.
00:17:59Hmm.
00:18:00Hmm.
00:18:01Hmm.
00:18:02Hmm.
00:18:03Hmm.
00:18:04Hmm.
00:18:05Hmm.
00:18:06Hmm.
00:18:07Hmm.
00:18:08Hmm.
00:18:10Hmm.
00:18:11Hmm.
00:18:12Hmm.
00:18:13Hmm.
00:18:14Hmm.
00:18:15Hmm.
00:18:16Hmm.
00:18:17Hmm.
00:18:18Hmm.
00:18:19Hmm.
00:18:20Hmm.
00:18:21Hmm.
00:18:22Hmm.
00:18:23Hmm.
00:18:24Hmm.
00:18:30You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:53Wow.
00:18:57Good.
00:18:58Surprisingly good.
00:19:00Surprisingly good.
00:19:01Surprisingly good.
00:19:02Hmm.
00:19:05Well, payment for spying.
00:19:07Payment accepted.
00:19:08You know, the house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:16I had to make do.
00:19:21No, I never cook.
00:19:23It's a shame.
00:19:33You can go now.
00:19:46You, um, wanted to see me.
00:19:53Time for your first lesson.
00:19:55My what?
00:20:01Self-defense.
00:20:02Never know when you might need it.
00:20:04I don't know if that's really...
00:20:06Number one, stance.
00:20:10Move the feet apart.
00:20:12Bend this knee.
00:20:14Yeah.
00:20:14Then move this foot forward.
00:20:17Good.
00:20:18Okay.
00:20:19Now, hands up.
00:20:21Protect the face.
00:20:23Okay.
00:20:24Now, like this.
00:20:27Oh, God, sorry.
00:20:32I'm not really good at this.
00:20:36We're just getting started.
00:20:38Oh.
00:20:40Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:43Rule number one.
00:20:45Stance.
00:20:48Right?
00:20:49Right?
00:20:50Right?
00:20:51Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:19I have a business expense.
00:21:25Business expense.
00:21:27These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:31The best knives are the best chef.
00:21:35Why are you doing this?
00:21:37The contract.
00:21:39No.
00:21:41The real reason.
00:21:43Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:21:47Maybe.
00:21:49You just like watching me.
00:21:55You know that, um...
00:21:57This doesn't change anything.
00:21:59Of course not.
00:22:07This is for your mother.
00:22:13This... No, this is too much.
00:22:15This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:19At least I can do.
00:22:23I think that's literally the nicest thing Melee's ever done for me.
00:22:27What's the catch?
00:22:29I think that's a good one.
00:22:31I'm not sure.
00:22:33I'm not sure.
00:22:35I'm not sure.
00:22:37I'm not sure.
00:22:39I'm not sure.
00:22:41I'm not sure.
00:22:43So, the inheritance release date is set, but...
00:22:45If anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:22:47No one's gonna find out.
00:22:49Oh, really?
00:22:50Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:22:53It's under control.
00:22:54Is it?
00:22:55It seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...
00:23:00I said it's handled.
00:23:12Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:15This Morrison deal...
00:23:17Is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:18Don't tell me you're actually falling.
00:23:19Get out.
00:23:48There more than that.
00:23:51I apologize, don't tell me you are.
00:23:53There more!
00:23:54Yeah, ya, hah!
00:23:55I have to worry about this.
00:23:58All Am is Peta not all the other friends.
00:24:00At least one year.
00:24:02He paid the guy's 25-year-old man bad.
00:24:04He paid the penny to settle his hand THE터� otras.
00:24:07Man can return smith !!
00:24:09I來說, I appreciate the excitement, and I knew him as well.
00:24:11I'm not sure he knew his hand it should be...
00:24:14We are not sure knowing what happened below him.
00:25:16Vivian?
00:25:17The 82 crystal.
00:25:19Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:22I can still feel it running down my back just thinking about it.
00:25:26We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:28Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:30You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:33Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:38This must be so boring for you.
00:25:41You're so insightful, Vivian.
00:25:43You do bore me.
00:25:44Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:25:48Why don't you go back to like chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:25:53So basically, you know the company way that we have our investments holding in?
00:25:56I had a business meeting with Hannah today, and she has basically advised me to say that our investments are not making any profit, because not me as self, isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:05So my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:07Why the whirlwind romance you've got there?
00:26:26What's the catch?
00:26:29There's always a catch.
00:26:31Excuse me, right?
00:26:33Rebecca Chen.
00:26:34Social pages.
00:26:35Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:39This must be some kind of record.
00:26:41Though lately I've been more interested in business deals.
00:26:46Hmm.
00:26:46What would you say?
00:26:49Love at first sight, or something more contractual?
00:26:52You know, you should really write romance novels, since you have quite the imagination.
00:27:03We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:05I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:16The Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.
00:27:18Oh, great.
00:27:19Another dinner.
00:27:20It's important.
00:27:21They're all important.
00:27:23It's a part of the deal.
00:27:25They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:28You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:30Did I?
00:27:34At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:36To talk.
00:27:37Deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:41Whatever.
00:27:42Whatever.
00:27:42Nice.
00:27:54Real mature.
00:27:59No, don't.
00:28:00Fuck.
00:28:03Okay.
00:28:04Okay, fine.
00:28:05You want to go?
00:28:07Nope.
00:28:07Okay.
00:28:14Okay.
00:28:16Yeah.
00:28:16Yeah?
00:28:17No, no, no, no.
00:28:18No, no, no.
00:28:19Let's go.
00:28:21No.
00:28:22No.
00:28:24Ow.
00:28:24Oh.
00:28:25Oh, my God.
00:28:55Yeah.
00:29:01So, Jack's inheritance is all set.
00:29:04But he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:08That's the problem.
00:29:10Hmm.
00:29:11It's the girl, isn't it?
00:29:13The waitress.
00:29:14You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:17I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:18Oh, I've done my part.
00:29:21That's underway.
00:29:22And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:25I have everything under control.
00:29:29Oh, really?
00:29:29Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.
00:29:31You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over, Jack.
00:29:35You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:37I've just begun.
00:29:42I've got it.
00:29:54Hmm.
00:29:55Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:29:58I live here.
00:30:00Of course we do.
00:30:03Okay, thanks.
00:30:06Jack, darling.
00:30:08Should we proceed to the study?
00:30:09We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:11Yeah.
00:30:12Yeah.
00:30:12Yeah.
00:30:16Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:24Vivian?
00:30:27Remember Tokyo?
00:30:29That Zaki bar?
00:30:30I'm married.
00:30:31Oh, you know, I hadn't noticed.
00:30:38Uh-huh.
00:30:39You know that feeling when you leave the house and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:30:47I forgot something.
00:30:56Maybe you can help me figure it out?
00:31:02Coffee?
00:31:08Oh, no thank you.
00:31:10Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:13Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:16Do you, Jack?
00:31:17Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:19Hmm.
00:31:20I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:23And he just absolutely laps up every drop of my coffee.
00:31:32Isn't that right?
00:31:34Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:38Hmm.
00:31:41So, how's Vivian?
00:31:46Focus on your form.
00:31:47You know, I was just wondering.
00:31:50How long with two of you?
00:31:51Ancient history.
00:31:53That's not what I heard.
00:31:55From who?
00:31:57Around.
00:31:59Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:01You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:03You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:06That's business.
00:32:08Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:12But you know what?
00:32:16What's this?
00:32:17It's a pretty big business
00:32:20that you haven't been sharing with me.
00:32:24I think Vivian wants some of it, too.
00:32:27But you know what?
00:32:30Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:34Sad.
00:32:35Watch your stance.
00:32:37I don't want to be lied to.
00:32:44I'm not lying, Lily.
00:32:48Don't break my heart.
00:32:51Yeah.
00:32:52I don't want to be lied to.
00:32:52Oh, my God.
00:33:22Yeah, this guy is so great today.
00:33:28I hate him so much.
00:33:29Please act like you know me.
00:33:30There's someone following me.
00:33:31Oh, my God.
00:33:32Are you okay?
00:33:33Who's following you?
00:33:35That weirdo?
00:33:42Is he gone?
00:33:43I think he's gone.
00:33:44You sure?
00:34:00Like that?
00:34:04I think your technique could use some more.
00:34:07I got the Dota rides.
00:34:08Are you sure that wasn't me?
00:34:32What?
00:34:33Of course.
00:34:39And I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies.
00:34:43I'm sure Jack's brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:34:47Um, actually, I...
00:34:49Tell me, what's your take on blockchain integration?
00:34:52Um, I think...
00:34:55Oh, no comment.
00:34:57How surprising.
00:34:59Excuse me.
00:35:00Oh, great thinking, Lily.
00:35:02All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:04I love you.
00:35:27I love you.
00:35:29I love you.
00:35:31I love you.
00:35:32But this thing isn't going to last forever, Jack.
00:35:38I don't know.
00:35:40I mean, what choice do you have?
00:35:42Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:35:44Unless you want to lose this deal forever.
00:35:49Lunch?
00:35:52I was just on my way out.
00:35:56Think about it, Jack.
00:36:02What was that about?
00:36:08Nothing. Just business.
00:36:10Just business. Of course.
00:36:13Lily, wait.
00:36:18What do you want, Jack?
00:36:20I'm taking you on a holiday.
00:36:42What? You have time for that?
00:36:46A lot of time.
00:36:49Just us?
00:36:50I know what I want.
00:36:55Oh, what about, um, what about Warren and the deal?
00:36:59I can wait.
00:37:03There she is.
00:37:05What?
00:37:06That smile.
00:37:08It's the one you had when I first laid eyes on you.
00:37:11I'll never forget it.
00:37:13You know that I don't just, um, serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:18Really?
00:37:18Mm-hmm.
00:37:24I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.
00:37:26I've been told to Relay that there's a problem back at the office.
00:37:30Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:31It's safe.
00:37:34Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:39Yeah.
00:37:41Very good.
00:37:43Who sent the message?
00:37:45Vivian Chase.
00:37:46It'll be, I'm sorry.
00:37:52Don't, please.
00:37:53It's just business.
00:37:54It's business, yeah.
00:37:55I get it.
00:37:56Lily, I, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:07Just shut up and taste this.
00:38:10It's just...
00:38:11It's taste, uh...
00:38:21Incredible?
00:38:22Yeah.
00:38:22Yeah, I know.
00:38:24Mm.
00:38:28Jack.
00:38:29Mm-hmm?
00:38:30Do you want more?
00:38:32Um, after this one.
00:38:34No.
00:38:36Not the food.
00:38:38Jack.
00:38:41Talking about us.
00:38:42How long are we going to keep on doing this?
00:39:03Oh!
00:39:04Oh, my God.
00:39:06What was that?
00:39:12Any enemies?
00:39:17Business rivals?
00:39:19No one comes to mind.
00:39:21Security cameras?
00:39:24Being installed as we speak.
00:39:36Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:38Sorry.
00:39:40I thought I saw.
00:39:42I'm worried.
00:39:47You okay?
00:39:49Yeah.
00:39:59Yeah.
00:40:03This is so insane.
00:40:06It's probably just kids.
00:40:08Kids?
00:40:10Seriously.
00:40:10Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:13Oh, sorry.
00:40:15What, are you afraid that someone's going to hear about our perfect marriage?
00:40:19What are you hiding from me?
00:40:27Hey.
00:40:30Hey.
00:40:33Hey, you know that secret room that you didn't want me to find?
00:40:37I found it.
00:40:38I found it.
00:40:39I found it.
00:40:40I found it.
00:40:42Yeah.
00:40:47Hey, at least it's honest.
00:40:53Do you want to see it?
00:40:55I'm sorry.
00:41:09Oh, come on.
00:41:12, quizzer.
00:41:12Most people run.
00:41:26I'm not most people.
00:41:31So.
00:41:35This is what you're into?
00:41:37Among other things.
00:41:39And all of those.
00:41:42Specific requirements.

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