00:02Celine, we are late to our company's $50 million open house.
00:05Is your makeup really more important?
00:07I'm just trying to look good for you, sweetheart.
00:09Spare me.
00:11Our marriage contract ends this month.
00:14You can stop pretending.
00:23I can call a tow truck.
00:30Okay, see that little grease pit over there?
00:33You're gonna walk over there in your expensive heels and figure it out.
00:40You want my signature on the divorce agreement, right?
00:53Hi.
00:54How fast can you fix my car?
01:00We don't exactly keep those parts laying around.
01:05Maybe my nephew can help us.
01:06Hey, Knox!
01:41What, uh, seems to be the problem, Corey?
01:48She's sitting right out there in that broke-down Mercedes.
01:52Look, I know you've probably never seen a car that nice.
01:55It might be worth even more than this shop.
02:00Well, she lacks a lot of attention.
02:04Are you talking about me? Or the car?
02:08The engine.
02:10So you know how to fix it.
02:13Well, that depends.
02:17On what?
02:19If you ask us nicely.
02:25Alright.
02:29Please, can you help?
02:34Somebody made you walk all the way down here in them heels.
02:49I thought you had me waiting so long for some shop boy.
02:54You waited this long just to throw some shade?
02:59Drop the hood.
03:01Wait, the hood?
03:04Toss me the damn keys.
03:27She's worth more than your bloodline.
03:30So how long is this going to take?
03:32Just a couple minutes.
03:33Just a couple minutes.
03:34More if you keep talking.
03:37So you got a name?
03:39Knox.
03:40Sure you're not trying to profit off the name of the failed Knoxwood Empire?
03:55Start it.
04:13Oh my gosh, thank you.
04:15How much do we owe you?
04:18Nothing.
04:19Just the chance to work on one of these is enough.
04:23Jackson.
04:26Oh, um.
04:35Selene.
04:39And I'm still late.
04:41Let's get the fuck out of here, alright?
04:52That's gotta be the snobbiest couple we've ever had.
04:56Yeah.
04:57Good thing we don't live that billionaire lifestyle no more.
05:00Hmm.
05:07Victor, you've outdone yourself.
05:09This listing is magnificent.
05:11Oh, well.
05:12I couldn't have done it without my queen.
05:14To the woman who made this all so effortless.
05:22Honey, you shouldn't have.
05:26You have motor oil on your shoes.
05:32Is that why he took so long in the shop?
05:34On your knees, begging for a discount?
05:50Maybe my next wife will be more deserving of that necklace.
05:54I tried so hard to make this marriage work.
05:57My family got what I needed from yours.
06:00You?
06:02You're just a receipt.
06:07You've come back to her.
06:10I'm a king.
06:16What ač¬ie.
06:21What ač¬ie.
06:28You're using an lullaby.
06:30Good thing?
06:31Morning.
06:33it. What are you doing here? Working. You always make house calls? You always answer the door like
06:46that. Like what? Celine. Ah, Knox. Didn't expect you to show up on time. Must be your influence.
07:03If you can handle the G-Wagon, I trust you can handle my Lambo, right? Sure thing, boss. It's not
07:10back by sundown. I'll hunt you for sport. Yeah, don't worry about it. I'll turn on the GPS for you.
07:17Make it easy. Have a good morning, Celine.
07:27Already on a first name basis. No, we're not.
07:36We're very excited about the North Valley redevelopment, but the zoning is still unclear.
07:43Um, the zoning was going to be grandfathered in from the original paperwork. Victor was...
07:49But Celine was going to handle the permitting.
07:56We'd like to empower our women to lead, don't we? Of course. But this needs to be sorted out. Fast.
08:04Well, Celine will head down there right now. She'll handle this for us. Don't worry.
08:10I'd be delighted.
08:39Come on.
08:51You ever think about getting air conditioning in here?
08:58You ever think about wearing flats?
09:03Workboots don't sell real estate.
09:06You know, I think it's more than just the shoes making the sale.
09:12We're working a property down the road.
09:14I thought I'd check on the car.
09:20Almost finished.
09:22Go ahead and hang out wherever you like.
09:52When I said hang wherever you like, the back office wasn't included.
10:17Sorry, I didn't know.
10:46Go ahead and hang out.
11:07Look what you did.
11:18The car should be ready in five.
11:38Is he always that quiet?
11:43Only when he likes someone.
11:46How long has he worked here for?
11:49Long enough to forget who he once was.
11:52Who was he?
11:54Knoxwood.
11:56Shit, Jake.
11:58Come on.
12:00It hurts, man.
12:01Oh, come on.
12:02Let's go.
12:03I'll drive you.
12:06Shop's closed.
12:09Sweet little Elvis all no fain in it.
12:13Me too.
12:20Mrs. Beaumont.
12:21Always nice to see you.
12:24Long morning.
12:26Yeah, just catching up on a few details.
12:29I hate to point it out, but it looks like the catching up got a little bit messy.
12:37She's always been a little, uh, hands-on.
12:40Mm-hmm.
12:41Isn't that right, sweetheart?
12:43We like to be thorough.
12:45Shall we?
12:46Mm-hmm.
12:53You show up late, covered in filth, make me look small in front of her?
12:59Victor, I was working.
13:00Clearly not hard enough to get my signature on the divorce agreement.
13:03I already earned my freedom from you, Victor.
13:05And every cent of what you owe me.
13:08You know what?
13:08Your work is my assistant.
13:11That's an apology to me.
13:13Get my dry cleaning, finish the contracts.
13:17That's if you still want my signature.
13:44Well, she's still in one piece.
13:47And your friend from today?
13:50Stubborn as hell.
13:51He'll survive.
13:52Jeff, you doing okay?
13:59Just had a long day.
14:01Seems you've been having quite a few of those in a row.
14:06Do you always carry it this well?
14:08You get used to it.
14:23Well, you all try not to break this one, alright?
14:28Who promises?
14:30Well, then I guess I'll be seeing you again.
14:51What are you doing?
14:53Laying out like some trophy and not doing the work I gave you?
14:56I finished it three hours ago. It's on your desk.
14:59Well then, get my dry cleaning for tonight.
15:02I've got a date with a Winston heiress.
15:04That wasn't on your calendar?
15:06Well, that's not business, it's pleasure.
15:09Their family owns half the city and it would do well for the Beaumont name if I marry her next.
15:16You're already courting your next wife.
15:19Why not just end our contract if that's the case?
15:21Because legally, you're still mine.
15:25I was hoping you would see me, Victor.
15:27Not just as your name, not just for our deal.
15:33That must be our little shop boy, ready to tune up the Mercedes for tonight's impression.
15:46Ha, ha, ha! There he is!
15:55Alright, and you will bring it back here tonight, yeah?
15:59You got plans with it?
16:01Dinner with a beautiful woman.
16:04Taking the missus out.
16:07Please, a real woman. One worthy of my company.
16:12You would disrespect a good woman like that.
16:15What'd you say?
16:24I said, you need to treat Celine with more respect.
16:31Women like that aren't loved.
16:34They're least.
16:37Focus on the car.
16:39Not my wife.
16:51God damn it!
16:54The Winstons are bringing another suitor to dinner after everything I'd laid out for them.
16:58I guess she found out who she was being sold off to.
17:03What, you're still clinging on to your payout from our marriage contract?
17:06I earned it, Victor. Every cent.
17:09I gave up my life to buy time for my father.
17:12You knew that when you offered me this arrangement.
17:14You will get your shares when I say that's what we agreed on.
17:18I signed up to save my father's life.
17:21And because I thought maybe I could build something real in the process.
17:27And now he's dead.
17:29And you will never find love.
17:36Where the hell is Knox with my car?
17:40Go get it.
17:42If it's not out in my driveway in ten minutes, you'll never see that payout that you earned.
18:16Didn't think I'd be back here again.
18:21Didn't think you'd come here alone.
18:27I figured you could use a break from all the noise.
18:45Do you work on all your clients' cars?
18:48Fruitless?
18:52Maybe just the ones showing up here in heels and lipstick.
19:02You're not here for the car.
19:08What if I am?
19:13I'd be disappointed.
19:14I'm trying to get you done it.
19:16I'm gonna do it again.
19:21I'm gonna do it again.
19:22I can do it again.
19:40It's a basic as a guitarist.
19:40I know it's not a guitarist.
19:43We're not people.
19:44Let's go.
20:14Let's go.
20:49Let's go.
20:49I don't know what you see in me.
20:54Someone real?
20:58But you barely know me.
21:00Why would you want someone weak like me?
21:03Does anybody know you?
21:05With what he used to.
21:09But our marriage, it was never even real.
21:14It was just another business deal.
21:24My father couldn't run our family business after he got sick.
21:31And we didn't have enough money for his treatments anymore.
21:37So, I entered a marriage contract.
21:43Giving away my name, my father's business, and my freedom.
21:55You gave up everything for someone you love.
22:04That ain't weakness, Selene.
22:08That's strength most people don't know about.
22:30Let him wait.
22:34His wife's busy.
23:00You really cost me.
23:05They couldn't rush the service for us.
23:08The Winston girl chose another suitor.
23:11They drove off together in his Aventador.
23:14I don't even have an Aventador.
23:17I'm sorry.
23:19You just lost half your payout.
23:21I gave up more than you could ever pay me.
23:28We'll just have to earn it back.
23:40Selene, I have a meeting for the tech merger in two minutes.
23:43Don't bother me unless someone is dead.
23:54You, again?
23:57You, again.
24:04Thought you could use something cold.
24:18you know i could get used to this kind of service
24:27so how do you know an engine is happy happy yeah like running right
