00:00:01If this were a rom-com, how would it go?
00:00:06Well, since you're my boss,
00:00:10you'd obviously have to be a workaholic.
00:00:18And I'm an impressionable underpaid assistant
00:00:23who just moved to the city.
00:00:28You forced me to be your girlfriend to trick your parents.
00:00:32My father doesn't think that I'm serious enough
00:00:35to keep the division.
00:00:36And I hate every second of it.
00:00:39Are you enjoying the view?
00:00:42But then helping you trick your parents
00:00:45lets me see you on a deeper level.
00:00:49And then what?
00:00:54Okay, let's go.
00:01:11Please be late.
00:01:12Bye.
00:01:12Bye.
00:01:14Bye.
00:01:16Bye.
00:01:19Bye.
00:01:20Bye.
00:01:21Bye.
00:01:22Bye.
00:01:27Don't get distracted now, mister.
00:01:29Stop talking.
00:01:32Brenna Wolf.
00:01:33You had better be yawning from the back of an Uber, mister.
00:01:36What? Oh, fuck.
00:01:38Kate's engaged in a party. You were supposed to remind me.
00:01:41I left 14 sticky notes on your desk.
00:01:44God damn it, you cannot be late to this.
00:01:46Who's that, big boy?
00:01:47Please tell me this one doesn't think she's got a shot with you.
00:01:50Oh, man, she's from Portugal.
00:01:52She knows this is just a flame.
00:01:54You're cheating on me with someone from Portugal?
00:01:57On second thought, Grace, you're going to have to handle this for me.
00:02:01I'm calling the car.
00:02:02Shower off your bad decisions and get in.
00:02:06Okay.
00:02:10This was fun, Nadia.
00:02:12But it's time for you to go.
00:02:14You can see yourself out, can't you?
00:02:36You know, you really should start watching where you're going.
00:02:39One of these days, you're going to end up smeared across the hood of some Mercedes.
00:02:43So nice to see you, too.
00:02:48Oh, how do I look?
00:02:54Perfect.
00:02:55I mean, fine.
00:02:57Good.
00:02:59You look good.
00:03:00I'm just glad you made it.
00:03:03Shall we?
00:03:04Mm-hmm.
00:03:05You know I've only ever met your family on the phone.
00:03:08Yeah, you'll see why.
00:03:30You know how much shit my father's going to give me now that I'm the only single wolf?
00:03:35Brennan!
00:03:36Oh, God.
00:03:37Deal with that.
00:03:38Please.
00:03:41Help me, isn't it?
00:03:43Look, it's nothing personal, but Brennan...
00:03:46You.
00:03:48You're the little assistant that's been keeping us apart.
00:03:51Because what?
00:03:52You think you have a shot with him?
00:03:54Whore?
00:03:56No, our relationship is strictly professional.
00:03:58It's pathetic.
00:04:00Give it up, sweetheart.
00:04:01He's not interested.
00:04:02You're just a girl who gets him his coffee.
00:04:19Well, look who it is.
00:04:22Big bro.
00:04:23Kate.
00:04:25Congratulations on all of...
00:04:27this.
00:04:28It's great.
00:04:30I really do feel blessed.
00:04:33I'm marrying the love of my life soon.
00:04:35My division is killing it.
00:04:37Have you seen our projections?
00:04:40Yeah.
00:04:41You know, I could give you some pointers.
00:04:45I saw your numbers.
00:04:472% growth is not going to cut it.
00:04:50Not when Dad is in slashing mode.
00:04:54Oh, you haven't heard?
00:04:56At next month's board meeting.
00:04:58If you're not caught up.
00:05:03Oh, but don't worry.
00:05:05I'm sure you'll find something.
00:05:09Maybe Mickey D's is hiring.
00:05:12You do look good in yellow.
00:05:18Now, if you don't mind,
00:05:20I have well-wishers to greet.
00:05:24Excuse me.
00:05:35Office now.
00:05:37But we just got here.
00:05:38Now.
00:05:45So, the whole division's just gone?
00:05:49No.
00:05:50Because you're going to get an action plan
00:05:52on my desk by tomorrow.
00:05:53Tomorrow is Saturday.
00:05:57Mr. Wolf.
00:05:59I'm Howard Bernstein
00:06:01from the Bernstein Corporation.
00:06:03Now, I know we didn't have a meeting set up,
00:06:05but I have a potential business opportunity for you.
00:06:08Something needs to go through now.
00:06:08Mr. Wolf.
00:06:10I really think we should discuss this.
00:06:16Oh!
00:06:18Apologize to my assistant,
00:06:20or the next meeting you take
00:06:21will be from a hospital bed.
00:06:23Oh, jeez!
00:06:25Okay, all right!
00:06:27God, okay, I'm sorry!
00:06:28I'm sorry!
00:06:32Now, you.
00:06:34Action plan 6 p.m. tomorrow,
00:06:36and you get the fuck out of here
00:06:37and leave my assistant alone.
00:06:41You, sir,
00:06:42are a brute!
00:06:53Again?
00:06:54What is it?
00:06:55Miss Reynolds,
00:06:56I'm calling you as your mother's next of kin.
00:06:58Unfortunately, this call is to provide you
00:07:00with a time of death.
00:07:02Sorry,
00:07:03excuse me,
00:07:04time of death?
00:07:05Miss Reynolds,
00:07:07your mother is dead.
00:07:18Grace,
00:07:20I need you to get a hold of Miller at the...
00:07:26What is it?
00:07:29My mother's dead.
00:07:34Grace,
00:07:34are you serious?
00:07:37Okay.
00:07:38Sorry,
00:07:38you said that we need...
00:07:41Miller?
00:07:41You need me to call Jordan Miller?
00:07:43Grace,
00:07:43don't worry about that.
00:07:44You need to go.
00:07:45No, no, I can't.
00:07:47No, I can't.
00:07:47I'm telling you as your boss,
00:07:49you need to go.
00:08:16Why are you going back to work?
00:08:17Look, didn't Brendan give you like a whole month off?
00:08:21Yeah, but he needs me.
00:08:27Look, I know you're desperately in love with this man, but he-
00:08:31I am not.
00:08:37Okay, fine.
00:08:40I love him.
00:08:42Are you happy?
00:08:45I've loved him for five fucking years and he does not give a shit about me.
00:08:51I give him all of my waking hours.
00:08:54I get rid of his hookups.
00:08:57I even check the security cameras on my phone every day because he doesn't trust the alarm
00:09:03company.
00:09:04You don't want him taking advantage of you, then don't let him.
00:09:07You deserve love, not dirty work.
00:09:152% growth in this economy is impressive.
00:09:19Above industry standard.
00:09:20Kate's division saw 8% last month alone.
00:09:24Well, why don't we ask the IRS about Kate's growth?
00:09:27One of these days, that behavior is going to come back to bite her in the ass.
00:09:30It's not just business.
00:09:32Kate's a serious person.
00:09:34She's settling down and you're still in the tabloids.
00:09:38But floozies, ever since Dulcy-
00:09:41This has nothing to do with my personal life.
00:09:43I am more than capable of this.
00:09:45You want your division?
00:09:47Show me you're serious.
00:09:48Otherwise, I'll be making my recommendation to the board.
00:09:51I've got to go.
00:10:04Grace, what are you doing here?
00:10:05I thought you were still in bereavement.
00:10:11What is this?
00:10:12This is me.
00:10:15Quitting.
00:10:25No.
00:10:27Absolutely not.
00:10:29Excuse me?
00:10:30Look, if you still need more time to grieve, I understand.
00:10:34This is not about my mother.
00:10:38Brennan, I need a fresh start.
00:10:40I cannot keep going around in circles with you.
00:10:44These last five years, I have been torturing myself,
00:10:47trying to get you to see that...
00:10:52It doesn't matter.
00:10:54I'm done.
00:11:02No, you're not.
00:11:04You're still under contract for another year.
00:11:07What kind of leader would I be
00:11:08if I just let my employees leave
00:11:09just because they wanted to
00:11:11have a fresh start?
00:11:14Do you want to do this the hard way, Brennan?
00:11:18Okay.
00:11:19Fine.
00:11:25Hi.
00:11:26I need to speak with one of your attorneys, please.
00:11:29No, any one of them's fine.
00:11:32Okay.
00:11:34What the fuck?
00:11:35What are you doing?
00:11:37Look.
00:11:39I'll allow you to quit
00:11:40under one condition.
00:11:43You become my girlfriend.
00:11:45I'll allow you to quit.
00:11:50I'll allow you to quit.
00:11:50Excuse me?
00:11:51Look, my father doesn't think
00:11:53that I'm serious enough
00:11:54to keep the division.
00:11:55He and my mom are coming this weekend
00:11:57to stay with me for Kate's wedding,
00:11:59and I just, I need to prove to him
00:12:01that I'm done fucking around.
00:12:03Are you?
00:12:06Right.
00:12:07I didn't think so.
00:12:09So ask Naomi.
00:12:11Or Miss Portugal.
00:12:12Anyone.
00:12:13There's a line of girls
00:12:15a mile long
00:12:15who'd be happy to help you.
00:12:17But Grace,
00:12:19you're the only one that I trust.
00:12:24Look,
00:12:25if you do this for me,
00:12:27avoid your contract,
00:12:28and then you can go
00:12:29and do whatever it is
00:12:30that you want
00:12:31with a glowing recommendation
00:12:32from myself.
00:12:35I can't do this anymore, Brennan.
00:12:38I can't keep doing your dirty work.
00:12:41I deserve better.
00:12:42I deserve to...
00:12:44Grace!
00:12:46I need you.
00:12:53It's just for the weekend.
00:12:55Right?
00:12:57Just for your parents.
00:13:01Fine.
00:13:03Stay for the weekend,
00:13:05and then I'm gone.
00:13:13What the hell?
00:13:16What was that?
00:13:18Practice.
00:13:33Brennan?
00:13:37Okay.
00:13:38You can do this.
00:13:39You just have to get through
00:13:40this weekend,
00:13:41and then you can forget
00:13:42about Brennan Wolfe for good.
00:13:47Hey, babe.
00:14:00Settling in?
00:14:02Hmm?
00:14:05Feel free to use any
00:14:06open space.
00:14:08Just don't go to my side
00:14:09or get into any of my stuff.
00:14:12Yeah, you don't
00:14:13seem to use your closet much.
00:14:17Are you
00:14:18enjoying the view?
00:14:25Wait.
00:14:33here, take this.
00:14:35What is this?
00:14:37Well, your wardrobe is
00:14:40passable
00:14:40as my assistant,
00:14:42but
00:14:42my girlfriend would never wear
00:14:44this.
00:14:47First thing in the morning,
00:14:48go and get yourself a new wardrobe.
00:14:49100,000 max.
00:14:51100,000?
00:14:54No, I can't do that.
00:14:57No, just think of it as a bonus.
00:15:02Fine.
00:15:04It's getting late.
00:15:05I think I'm going to turn in.
00:15:09Do you mind?
00:15:11Look, most, uh,
00:15:14long-term couples
00:15:16share a bedroom.
00:15:27Absolutely not.
00:15:30Look, my parents get in tomorrow.
00:15:32We have to make this thing
00:15:32look real,
00:15:33at least.
00:15:35Okay, then
00:15:36tomorrow,
00:15:37you're welcome to the floor.
00:15:39Until then,
00:15:39find another bedroom.
00:15:41There's like 50 in this place.
00:15:44Fine.
00:15:44You win.
00:15:48But I'll be
00:15:49downstairs watching a movie
00:15:50if you can't sleep.
00:15:55How about a rom-com?
00:15:59Sure.
00:16:18I want to do that.
00:16:20And I want you now.
00:16:23Then what are you waiting for?
00:16:45Well,
00:16:47I think that's my cue.
00:16:48You.
00:16:48Good night, Brennan.
00:16:49I think I'm falling in love with you.
00:16:55I know you don't have to say anything.
00:16:57I just,
00:16:57I wanted you to know.
00:17:10Brennan?
00:17:19What are you doing here?
00:17:29So smooth.
00:17:30Come on.
00:17:30I don't know.
00:17:31Ah.
00:17:43Ah.
00:17:47Ah.
00:17:48Ah.
00:18:00Wow, you look nice.
00:18:09Thanks.
00:18:17They're here. Prepare yourself.
00:18:22Brenny!
00:18:24Mother.
00:18:26Oh my goodness.
00:18:28This must be Grace.
00:18:32Brennan, she is absolutely darling.
00:18:38No wonder you've been keeping her all to yourself.
00:18:42Still, you might have mentioned her at some point.
00:18:49Oh, that'll be Kate. She's here for dinner.
00:18:54Oh, um, I didn't realize she'd be joining us.
00:18:58Oh, well, I wanted to include everyone, the whole family.
00:19:08Sweetheart.
00:19:09Oh, come here, honey bunny.
00:19:14I still can't believe you finally tamed my brother.
00:19:18How'd you do it?
00:19:22Oh, I was in Soho.
00:19:24Oh, don't tell me you met in a bar.
00:19:28Oh, no. Of course we didn't meet at a bar.
00:19:33Do you want to tell them, baby, or should I?
00:19:37Um, you tell it, sweetheart.
00:19:41Alto.
00:19:42I used to work for Cross & Co.
00:19:45I know, I know, you're biggest rivals.
00:19:49Brennan and I hated each other.
00:19:51Always stealing clients and competing.
00:19:55But I always thought he was cute.
00:19:58One day, we were pitching the same client.
00:20:01We were coming out of the building
00:20:02when I took a step out into the road without looking.
00:20:05I know, I know, it's a terrible habit that I have.
00:20:08A car came barreling down the road at me,
00:20:11and before I knew it,
00:20:12I felt a pair of strong arms pull me back.
00:20:14And when I opened my eyes,
00:20:17I found myself staring up at your son.
00:20:20How could I hate him after that?
00:20:34And, uh, I've been saving her from traffic ever since.
00:20:40Wow.
00:20:41Oh, my gosh.
00:20:43That sounds like something straight out of a movie.
00:20:47Doesn't it, honey?
00:20:49Hmm.
00:20:50Almost too good to be true.
00:20:53I tell you to get serious,
00:20:55and then you pick some random girl up off the street
00:20:58and suddenly you're, you're in love?
00:21:01Samuel.
00:21:02You've always been this way.
00:21:04Always taking the easy way out.
00:21:07Content to settle in the middle.
00:21:09Coasting along on your name and your money.
00:21:12You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:21:17Brennan cares more about his company
00:21:18than anyone I've ever met.
00:21:20He's dedicated and conscientious, and he's...
00:21:27Sam.
00:21:32Dinner and a show.
00:21:34Lucky me.
00:21:36Thanks for the fun night.
00:21:51Brennan, I...
00:21:52I have some contracts to go over.
00:21:54Excuse me.
00:22:10Oh, Mrs. Wolfe.
00:22:12I'm so sorry.
00:22:14I don't know what came over me.
00:22:16I was completely out of line,
00:22:17and I want to apologize.
00:22:18Grace, I love my husband,
00:22:21but he's always been too hard on Brennan.
00:22:24Thank you so much for defending him.
00:22:30I can tell.
00:22:31You really do care for you.
00:22:34I do.
00:22:48Nightcap?
00:22:52I thought you were mad at me.
00:22:54No, I...
00:22:58I just thank you
00:23:00for standing up for me tonight.
00:23:05I don't think it really
00:23:07helped our cause.
00:23:09I think your dad hates me.
00:23:13But my mom loves you,
00:23:15and so it cancels out.
00:23:18You were really good.
00:23:20I'm sure they'll buy it.
00:23:24How are you so good at this?
00:23:27At what?
00:23:29At pretending to be in love.
00:23:35I don't think it's a good thing.
00:23:38my mom and I
00:23:39used to watch rom-coms.
00:23:41It was kind of our thing.
00:23:44I remember.
00:23:45She would always tell me,
00:23:47don't kid yourself.
00:23:49Real guys will always let you down,
00:23:52but rom-com guys are forever.
00:23:57Anyway, I guess
00:23:58what I meant was
00:24:01I may not be good
00:24:02at real love,
00:24:03but
00:24:05I'm great at rom-coms.
00:24:08Plus, I mean,
00:24:09some of that is true.
00:24:10I mean, you are always
00:24:11saving me from traffic.
00:24:18Grace,
00:24:19you must really miss your mom.
00:24:23I'm so sorry.
00:24:33It's hard
00:24:35to lose the one person
00:24:36in the world who
00:24:38makes it all make sense.
00:24:42Yeah.
00:24:44Trust me.
00:24:45I get it.
00:24:48You lost someone?
00:24:51I thought I knew

00:27:42Huh?
00:27:43I mean, if we're going to convince my parents, we'll have to kiss in front of them, so something like
00:27:48that would work, right?
00:27:51Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's... that's fine.
00:27:56Good. Yeah.
00:27:58Um, well, um, we should probably turn it.
00:28:03Sure.
00:28:32You are not going to be able to sleep like that.
00:28:35I'll be fine.
00:28:40Come on, this bed is pretty big.
00:28:48Plus, you need to be well-rested to keep up the ruse, right?
00:28:53Just take the other side of the bed.
00:28:57Okay.
00:28:58Okay.
00:29:13Good night.
00:29:15Good night.
00:29:27Good night.
00:29:29Good night.
00:29:33Good night.
00:29:45Good night.
00:29:58Christ.
00:30:36Good morning.
00:30:40Brennan.
00:30:42We need to talk.
00:30:46I owe you an apology, son.
00:30:50It paints me greatly to see that you're not like Kate, you're not.
00:30:56Great apology so far.
00:30:58But you're still my son, and I care about you deeply.
00:31:04So what do you know about this grace?
00:31:09What do you mean?
00:31:11I've seen her type before.
00:31:13They appear from the work and attach themselves to great families.
00:31:19They're like leeches.
00:31:21I do not want to see my company fall into the hands of some gold digger.
00:31:30How dare you talk about grace like that?
00:31:33You have no idea what she's done for this company.
00:31:36For me, you have no idea what she's done for me.
00:31:38I couldn't do this without her.
00:31:40Without who?
00:31:46I'll be going.
00:31:48Think about what I said.
00:31:59What was that all about?
00:32:00We have to step up our game.
00:32:03Look, my father's still suspicious of you.
00:32:05What the fuck are we going to do?
00:32:07I thought this was going to work.
00:32:08Hey.
00:32:10It's okay.
00:32:11We'll figure this out.
00:32:13You said you think your mom likes me, right?
00:32:16Maybe we can convince your mom to talk to him and he'll come around.
00:32:22You know, that's not a bad idea.
00:32:34What is wrong with this?
00:32:49You like it with cinnamon.
00:33:01So, about last night.
00:33:05I...
00:33:09Well, aren't you two just the cutest?
00:33:15Mom, I didn't see you come in.
00:33:17Sorry to interrupt you two lovebirds, but I was just on my way to pick out the flowers for the
00:33:22reception.
00:33:23Poor Kate.
00:33:23She's just so busy with her work that she has not any time to do wedding prep.
00:33:29So, would you like to come with me?
00:33:32Oh, she'd love to.
00:33:34Oh, I don't want to intrude.
00:33:36You too, mister.
00:33:37Mom, but I have to work.
00:33:39Oh, please.
00:33:40The last thing this family needs is another workaholic.
00:33:44Shall we?
00:33:48Hey, I love these flowers.
00:33:51I think you're going to be so excited about them.
00:33:53I know, I'm really excited.
00:33:54The first time in the city.
00:33:55Thanks for taking me a long time.
00:33:56Grace!
00:34:03Every time.
00:34:30Mom, do you think you could maybe talk to Dad for us?
00:34:33You know, get him to ease up on Grace a bit?
00:34:39Of course, darling.
00:34:41Grace is an absolute angel.
00:34:43And he needs to stop harping on her.
00:34:47Look at my son.
00:34:49I'll protect him.
00:34:51I love it.
00:34:55What about these?
00:34:59Oh, come on.
00:35:02Yellow is bright and fun.
00:35:08A rose for my rose.
00:35:12Yellow roses symbolize friendship.
00:35:15White roses, on the other hand, symbolize purity and loyalty.
00:35:20Brennan!
00:35:23What a coincidence.
00:35:27Jackie, why don't we go check out the lilies?
00:35:29Yeah, let's go.
00:35:36I need to talk to you.
00:35:38What are you doing here?
00:35:40Look, I miss you, silly.
00:35:42And I know you miss me.
00:35:44Look, didn't Grace already tell you?
00:35:46Look, we're not a thing.
00:35:48You mean your bitch-ass assistant?
00:35:51You let her speak for you?
00:35:52Keep your voice down.
00:35:55Why are you defending her?
00:36:00Are you...
00:36:02Are you interested in her?
00:36:04No, that would be...
00:36:05Completely unprofessional.
00:36:08You know what?
00:36:09No, you need to leave.
00:36:11Now!
00:36:28Think, think happy and rich.
00:36:30Happy and rich.
00:36:31Beautiful.
00:36:32All right, one more.
00:36:34Big smiles.
00:36:34Big, big smiles.
00:36:35Well, that'll never happen.
00:36:38What about a smirk?
00:36:40He can do a smirk.
00:36:47All right.
00:36:48And how about a solo picture of a brother and girlfriend?
00:36:51Oh.
00:36:56Let's take a picture of your nose.
00:37:03Uh, you two are dating?
00:37:07Just take the picture.
00:37:09Come on, Brendan.
00:37:10Give her a kiss.
00:37:20Seriously?
00:37:22A real kiss.
00:37:38A real kiss.
00:37:55Real enough?
00:38:13Brennan, what the hell was that?
00:38:16Look, Grace, we've already talked about this.
00:38:17We have to make this look real.
00:38:19I mean, if I hadn't kissed you, it would...
00:38:20No, I mean, you're running away from me like I bit you.
00:38:23Come on, you said you were going to start pulling your weight.
00:38:25You're going to blow this whole thing.
00:38:28Blow what whole thing?
00:38:30Oh, nothing.
00:38:32Just the photo shoot.
00:38:33Brennan got a little carried away.
00:38:36What's that?
00:38:38Family tradition.
00:38:40No, Kate.
00:38:42Consider it an early wedding present to me.
00:38:45Me and Alec versus you guys.
00:38:48Come on.
00:38:50We never got to play with Dulcy.
00:38:53Who's Dulcy?
00:38:56You haven't told her?
00:38:58Look, that's none of your business, Kate.
00:39:03Fine.
00:39:05Game on.
00:39:10All right.
00:39:11It's easy.
00:39:12Hers means you have to answer questions about Brennan.
00:39:15His means he has to answer questions about you.
00:39:18Each correct answer gets a point.
00:39:19Whoever gets the most points wins.
00:39:22Are you ready to lose?
00:39:26How bad can it be?
00:39:28It's not like we're strangers.
00:39:30Let's start with a question for the boys.
00:39:32Okay.
00:39:38What is your partner's go-to lunch?
00:39:40What is your partner's go-to lunch?
00:39:53Okay.
00:39:54And three, two, one, flip.
00:40:01Oh, come on.
00:40:03The amount of times I picked that sandwich up for you at work.
00:40:07When I was surprising you.
00:40:10Great.
00:40:11Everybody gets a point.
00:40:14Grace, you pull.
00:40:16Another boys question.
00:40:23When did your partner lose their virginity?
00:40:35Three, two, one, flip.
00:40:39Okay, this is scary.
00:40:41You know me too well.
00:40:43That's the idea, babe.
00:40:50Alec, baby, it's you.
00:40:52Now it's about the girlies.
00:40:55What's your partner's favorite band?
00:41:08Three, two, one, flip.
00:41:20What the hell is Blood Orange Grove?
00:41:23What the hell is Blood Orange Grove?
00:41:28Bren, you're up.
00:41:55All right, last question.
00:42:01What is your partner's favorite movie genre?
00:42:09And he gets a point.
00:42:12Finally, his first one.
00:42:14That makes 16 for the lovebirds, and 37 for me and Alec.
00:42:20Match made in heaven, baby.
00:42:40You remember you quit, right?
00:42:43You don't have to keep working for me.
00:42:45Yeah, well, who else is going to check the security cameras for you?
00:42:57Grace, I know you're upset, but it's just a stupid game, right?
00:43:05It doesn't matter.
00:43:08I think I'm going to turn in night.
00:43:11No, Grace.
00:43:13Look, I'm trying here.
00:43:17Okay?
00:43:18You can't just shut me out.
00:43:20Talk to me.
00:43:22There's nothing to say, Brennan.
00:43:25Look, you're right.
00:43:27None of this matters.
00:43:31After this weekend, we'll go our separate ways and back to reality.
00:43:38Speaking of, I drafted a list of replacement assistants.
00:43:42It should be in your email.
00:43:46Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:43:49Grace.
00:43:52Grace.
00:43:53Grace.
00:43:56Grace.
00:43:58Grace.
00:44:00Grace.
00:44:01Grace.
00:44:02Grace.
00:44:02Grace.
00:44:04Grace.
00:44:05Grace.
00:44:05Grace.
00:44:05Grace.
00:44:07Grace.
00:44:09Grace.
00:44:30Grace.
00:44:35I'm sure he's not hiding anything.
00:44:37Maybe she's just an old friend or something.
00:44:40But it's not just that.
00:44:43The other day, we were playing this couples game,
00:44:46and he didn't know anything about me.
00:44:49I've made his life perfect for years,
00:44:51and he couldn't even bother to learn my favorite band.
00:44:54I know it's hard, but clearly he cares about you.
00:44:58I mean, he brought you home to meet his parents.
00:45:01I'm sure he didn't do that with all the other girls.
00:45:07I need to tell you something.
00:45:37I thought maybe he was starting to fall for me, for real.
00:45:42I mean, we kissed a couple of times,
00:45:44and the other morning I woke up and he was holding me.
00:45:49I guess I was just deluding myself like Naomi and all the others.
00:45:55I said I was done with this.
00:45:57I quit, for God's sakes.
00:46:00But then he roped me in, and like a fucking idiot,
00:46:03I let him pull me right back in.
00:46:06It's like I haven't learned anything.
00:46:07Grace, you're not an idiot.
00:46:09You're just a romantic.
00:46:12And that's different.
00:46:15I don't know.
00:46:18Maybe my mother was right.
00:46:20Real men always let you down.
00:46:25I'm not going to get my hopes up.
00:46:26I just have to get through the weekend,
00:46:28and then I can put Brennan Wolfe behind me.
00:46:32Cheers.
00:46:53Come in.
00:46:55Late night booty call in your office.
00:46:57Just like the good old days.
00:46:59I'm glad you finally saw the light, lover.
00:47:17Brennan?
00:47:20Baby?
00:47:22Where'd you go?
00:47:23I'm right here.
00:47:26No, this was a mistake.
00:47:28You need to go.
00:47:31No.
00:47:33The only mistake was you letting me go.
00:47:39No.
00:47:40You need to go.
00:47:42Get out.
00:47:43The fuck, Brennan?
00:47:45Go!
00:47:48Go!
00:48:09Brynny, is that you?
00:48:12Mom, what are you doing up?
00:48:16I have something for you.
00:48:18I wanted to give it to you earlier.
00:48:21But I just wanted to let you know how happy I am that you and Grace have found each other.
00:48:26It's just been so long since Dulcy, and I was beginning to worry you'd never find it again.
00:48:34Mom, I...
00:48:36It's okay.
00:48:37You deserve to feel love again.
00:48:40And I know now might not be the right time, but...
00:48:42I wanted to give it to you.
00:48:44I wanted to give you this.
00:48:54Your father proposed to me with it.
00:48:57And when the time comes, maybe you could propose to Grace with it.
00:49:07It just...
00:49:08It feels so much like last time.
00:49:12Mom, what if that means that it's all going to fall apart again?
00:49:16It's okay, sweetie.
00:49:18That feeling is fear.
00:49:20And all that means is...
00:49:22That it's real.
00:49:38You said you needed to see me?
00:49:41Now who needs reminding that I quit?
00:49:45Look, there's something I want to tell you.
00:49:49I, uh...
00:49:51I want you to be my girlfriend.
00:49:55It feels like we've covered this.
00:49:57No.
00:49:58I mean...
00:50:00Like, for real.
00:50:02This time.
00:50:04What did you just say?
00:50:07I've been an idiot.
00:50:09Right?
00:50:09I've taken you for granted, and these last few days have made me realize I can't live without you.
00:50:15Rather, I don't want to.
00:50:20I want to make us official.
00:50:23What do you say?
00:50:33Wait.
00:50:42If I could live anywhere in the world, where would I live?
00:50:48What?
00:50:50Who's my hero?
00:50:53I...
00:50:54What's my mother's name?
00:50:55What's my favorite childhood memory?
00:50:59What are my favorite hobbies?
00:51:01Where am I from?
00:51:05You say you can't live without me, Brennan.
00:51:08No, you can't live without what I do for you.
00:51:11Besides the fact that I make your life easier, you don't know anything about me.
00:51:21I know that you're kind.
00:51:28I know that you're not afraid to stand up for people you care about.
00:51:34That you love your mom.
00:51:37That you're an extremely hard worker.
00:51:42That you snore.
00:51:48I know that you make me feel safe.
00:51:51And happy.
00:51:53And good.
00:51:55And if you give me a chance, I'll learn the rest.
00:52:02Please.
00:52:04Grace.
00:52:06Grace.
00:52:11Grace.
00:52:12Grace.
00:52:12Grace.
00:52:13Grace.
00:52:13Grace.
00:52:14Grace.
00:52:15Grace.
00:52:16Grace.
00:52:23Grace.
00:52:23Grace.
00:52:37Here.
00:52:39It's never stopped you before.
00:52:52Hey, there, beautiful.
00:53:06You look like you've been up all night.
00:53:09And, uh, whose fault is that?
00:53:11Me.
00:53:15Me.
00:53:19Get me?
00:53:23Hand.
00:53:27Okay.
00:53:29Hold still there, Mr. Wolf.
00:53:32This will make you look awake.
00:53:35There.
00:53:48You are a miracle worker.
00:53:51What else is new?
00:54:09You know, when I get married, I'm not inviting any of these people.
00:54:12In fact, I'm not inviting anyone at all.
00:54:16Vegas elopement.
00:54:18Elvis impersonator.
00:54:21Reception at the casino.
00:54:23It works.
00:54:25It's very romantic.
00:54:28Yeah.
00:54:29What about you?
00:54:33I don't know.
00:54:35Oh, come on.
00:54:36Don't tell me you haven't thought about it.
00:54:38I mean, doesn't every single one of those rom-coms have some sort of cliché fairytale wedding?
00:54:45I guess I'd never imagined it because I've never been in love before.
00:54:52All the guys I've been with haven't...
00:54:55Something hasn't felt right.
00:54:57It's like I've been waiting for someone.
00:55:06What about you?
00:55:08What about me?
00:55:10Have you ever been in love?
00:55:15Excuse me.
00:55:17Do you mind if I borrow my son for a moment?
00:55:22Be my guest.
00:55:39Time to pay the piper, bro.
00:55:42What the fuck is this?
00:55:45Kate.
00:55:48The other night, I went down to get a drink of water.
00:55:52And that's when I heard your so-called girlfriend saying something very interesting to her little friend.
00:55:59She's not your girlfriend after all, is she?
00:56:02Look, Dad, I don't know what she...
00:56:04No more of your lies, son.
00:56:05And do not ask your mother to intervene.
00:56:08I knew this was wrong from the get-go.
00:56:11Now I have proof.
00:56:12I'll be meeting with the board on Monday morning.
00:56:15And then you'll begin the process of transferring your division's assets over to...
00:56:21Wait!
00:56:22Look, I don't know what Kate heard or thinks she heard.
00:56:27But what Grace and I have is real.
00:56:31I swear.
00:56:34I'll prove it.
00:57:01Excuse me, everyone.
00:57:02Uh, excuse me, may I please just have a moment of your time?
00:57:07And will my lovely girlfriend, Grace Reynolds, please join me?
00:57:27Grace, I've known you for a very long time.
00:57:31Honestly, it feels like forever.
00:57:33And recently, something's changed and I've realized just how deep my love for you runs.
00:57:40And now I'd like to formalize that love.
00:57:56My father gave my mother this ring 30 years ago, and through all the hardships they've endured, this ring has
00:58:02remained a symbol of their enduring love.
00:58:06Yesterday, my mother gave it to me, and today, I would like to give it to you, Grace Reynolds, will
00:58:13you do me the honors of making me the happiest man on earth?
00:58:18And allow me to be your husband.
00:58:42And allow me to be your husband.
00:59:01I would like to talk to you.
00:59:06Grace, I know, I know, but my father and Kate, they were circling me and-
00:59:10You'll resolve my contract today.
00:59:12I'll stay with you publicly until your father agrees to leave your division alone, but then I'm gone.
00:59:18And I never want to see you again.
00:59:22What?
00:59:23Why?
00:59:34Grace, this was a mistake.
00:59:36But I put a stop to it.
00:59:38I promise.
00:59:40Nothing happened.
00:59:41Why should I believe you?
00:59:43I mean, it's on the tape.
00:59:45Watch it.
00:59:46Grace, you've been my assistant for five years.
00:59:52You know me.
00:59:54You know everything about me.
00:59:58Not everything.
01:00:00What's that supposed to mean?
01:00:02Who's Dulcy?
01:00:05This is personal.
01:00:08Well, you just asked me to marry you, so what's yours is mine, right, honey?
01:00:16Who is she?
01:00:21Nothing to say.
01:00:24Well, it doesn't matter.
01:00:27Because I'm done.
01:00:31I'm done.
01:00:53Grace.
01:00:55Oh, thank God.
01:00:58What is this?
01:00:59Where am I?
01:01:01Grace?
01:01:04What's wrong with me?
01:01:07Grace.
01:01:08Grace, just calm down, okay?
01:01:09You're going to hurt yourself.
01:01:11You were hit by a car.
01:01:14What?
01:01:15You've got a spinal injury.
01:01:18And, well, you're suffering from paralysis.
01:01:21But it's only temporary.
01:01:23The doctor said that you'll walk again.
01:01:24You just...
01:01:25Your body needs time to recover.
01:01:28I should be in a hospital.
01:01:31Grace, we have the very best doctors on retainer.
01:01:35Mom, can Grace and I just have a moment, please?
01:01:38Of course.
01:01:39But if you need anything, just call.
01:01:42I'll be in the next room.
01:01:53Grace, when I saw you outside on the street, I was so fucking scared.
01:01:57I thought I'd lost you.
01:01:58Lost your little prop, you mean.
01:02:02How could you say that?
01:02:03Do you really think I don't care about you?
01:02:07Brennan, if your father wasn't in the picture, would you have even asked me out?
01:02:14I...
01:02:15Yeah.
01:02:17I didn't think so.
01:02:19You can keep trying to trick yourself into thinking that you care about me,
01:02:22but this whole time you were just playing pretend.
01:02:26I'll stay here until I can walk again, but we're over.
01:02:34Grace, I...
01:02:39Okay.
01:02:40Whatever you want.
01:03:00That's not true.
01:03:01Angela,
01:03:03I love you.
01:03:06Love isn't a single tender thought about me in the middle of the night, Xavier.
01:03:10I know that.
01:03:17I, uh, thought you might be hungry.
01:03:22I made lasagna.
01:03:24Belle told me it was your favorite.
01:03:27Can I at least leave it by your bed?
01:03:32Okay.
01:03:43Oh!
01:03:45Oh!
01:03:46Fuck!
01:03:46Ow!
01:03:48Ow!
01:03:48Let me see it, let me see it.
01:03:51All right, you're okay, but...
01:03:54It's just cramping because you've been in the bed so long.
01:03:56It just needs to be massaged.
01:04:00Just...
01:04:00Just...
01:04:01Just fucking do it.
01:04:03Okay.
01:04:04Ow!
01:04:05Oh, breathe.
01:04:06Breathe into it.
01:04:09Ow!
01:04:09Right there.
01:04:11Breathe.
01:04:13Steady.
01:04:15Come on.
01:04:16Slow it down.
01:04:18Breathe.
01:04:20Breathe.
01:04:20Breathe.
01:04:29You can stop.
01:04:37Of course.
01:04:41You're good at that.
01:04:45Yeah.
01:04:47I've gotten quite a bit of experience.
01:04:52You know, I think it's time I told you about Dulcie.
01:05:05She was my fiancée.
01:05:08You were engaged?
01:05:11Yeah.
01:05:14We were young.
01:05:17She was a free spirit.
01:05:19In love with the world.
01:05:21And I admired that.
01:05:24Honestly, I wanted to be just like her.
01:05:28I asked her to marry me after two weeks.
01:05:37A month after the engagement, we got the diagnosis.
01:05:45And six months later, I buried her.
01:05:49We never got to walk down the aisle.
01:05:53So sorry, Brennan.
01:05:57So I just, I pushed down my emotions and drowned myself in girlfriends and one-night stands, but nothing worked.
01:06:08And I thought if I fell in love again, that something terrible would happen.
01:06:14And I was right.
01:06:19Are you saying, are you saying you love me?
01:06:26Grace, how could I not love you?
01:06:35Look, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness or your love, but please let me take care of you like
01:06:46you've taken care of me for so long.
01:06:51Just until you recover, then you can go.
01:07:04Fuck, Belle.
01:07:04That hurts.
01:07:05That's good.
01:07:07Dr. Hurt says that's a good sign.
01:07:09It means you're getting your feeling back.
01:07:22Hey, you know what you're going to tell him?
01:07:25I think he means what he said.
01:07:28But it took him forever to be honest, and he used me for so long.
01:07:34I don't know.
01:07:36Maybe my mom was right.
01:07:39Men aren't like in the rom-coms.
01:07:41Of course, they're not.
01:07:43Girl, those guys are made up.
01:07:46That's like a dude getting mad at you for not being like the girls in the pronouns.
01:07:50It's not the same.
01:07:52You know, he admitted he was wrong, and now he's trying to make it better.
01:07:56In my book, that's worth a shot.
01:08:00All right, let's do the other side.
01:08:16Yeah, of course.
01:08:26Doc told me you're doing really well.
01:08:29You said you stood up today.
01:08:31Yeah, for a whole two seconds.
01:08:35Still.
01:08:37That's amazing.
01:08:40Grace, I'm so proud of you.
01:08:46I guess that means that you'll be leaving soon?
01:08:52Yeah, I guess.
01:08:57Well, uh, before you go to bed, want to watch a rom-com?
01:09:01Heard there's a new one on Netflix.
01:09:06No, I'm okay.
01:09:08I'm feeling a bit tired.
01:09:10You want to read a book?
01:09:12I actually went ahead and picked you up a copy of Pride and Prejudice, just in case.
01:09:17Or I could read it to you.
01:09:19If you want.
01:09:23Actually, I already started.
01:09:26I'm not sure I understand it, because Darcy's kind of a dick.
01:09:33He gets better.
01:09:38Got it.
01:09:39No, I'm okay.
01:09:45Want to listen to some music before you go to bed?
01:10:05Ever heard of those, uh, Blood Orange Grove guys?
01:10:10Here, they're pretty good.
01:10:38Grace, I'm so sorry, but my family is here.
01:10:41I swear I had no idea that we were coming.
01:10:43But I'll tell them to leave me.
01:10:44It's okay.
01:10:46No, you're still recovering.
01:10:50And I still haven't told them that we're not together anymore.
01:10:53But I was just going to tell them we broke up as soon as you left.
01:10:59Brennan, it's okay.
01:11:02I can do this.
01:11:07Well, we wanted to come earlier.
01:11:10But somebody made us wait until you were better.
01:11:16Well, I'm really glad that you're all here.
01:11:22Oh.
01:11:23Um, Grace.
01:11:26And Brennan.
01:11:28I'd like to apologize for the way I've behaved.
01:11:32I thought it was acting in the best interest of my son.
01:11:35And, uh, I see now that I was wrong.
01:11:41So, I would like to give this union my full blessing.
01:11:46No.
01:11:48Stop.
01:11:49I...
01:11:50Mom, Dad, there's...
01:11:53There's something I need to tell you.
01:11:57Brennan, what are you doing?
01:12:01Grace isn't my fiancée.
01:12:09She was my assistant.
01:12:14She tried to quit, but I wouldn't let her.
01:12:18In fact, I blackmailed her into pretending to be my girlfriend
01:12:24so that you would keep my division open.
01:12:31Grace is a beautiful, lovely, kind, and sweet woman.
01:12:41And I used her to further my own goals.
01:12:46Even now, she's still helping me when I almost got her killed.
01:12:52Because that's just who she is.
01:12:57I won't let you continue lying for me anymore.
01:13:05Everything you said is true.
01:13:07I'm an unserious playboy.
01:13:10But this playboy wants to do better.
01:13:14So, if you have to close my division, I...
01:13:16I guess I understand.
01:13:22Sam, don't.
01:13:29I didn't even have to beat you.
01:13:31You did it for me.
01:13:35That's enough, Kate.
01:13:36Go wait in the car.
01:13:54I am so proud of you.
01:13:56I mean it.
01:13:58It was so brave of you to tell the truth.
01:14:01But I could tell you were keeping something from us.
01:14:06But I could also see that you and Grace really care for each other.
01:14:11And that it wasn't a lie.
01:14:13Even when you thought it was.
01:14:19Now, I'll let you two talk this through.
01:14:32Brennan.
01:14:35Grace, I...
01:14:36I understand if you just want to go home now.
01:14:39I can send your stuff to your apartment.
01:14:42But don't worry.
01:14:43I won't be coming with it.
01:14:46Brennan.
01:14:49I'm not leaving.
01:14:52You're not.
01:14:56My whole life...
01:14:58I thought if a guy couldn't measure up to the...
01:15:01Nora Ephron or Nancy Meyers heroes...
01:15:04He wasn't worth it.
01:15:07But...
01:15:08Maybe it's good that you're not this perfect guy.
01:15:12Because...
01:15:12I'm not a porn star.
01:15:15What?
01:15:18It sounded better when Belle said it.
01:15:24I guess...
01:15:26Maybe fantasies...
01:15:28Are fantasies for a reason.
01:15:31And...
01:15:32After all of this, I realized...
01:15:34I don't want a fairy tale.
01:15:38I want real.
01:15:40I want real.
01:15:41I want...
01:15:41You.
01:15:43I want to give us a chance.
01:15:49And...
01:15:50One day...
01:15:53A long, long time into the future...
01:15:58Maybe...
01:15:58You can give this back to me.
01:16:03Not today.
01:16:05Clear?
01:16:19Crystal.
01:16:30I can't believe you told your parents everything.
01:16:35Sam is definitely going to shut down your division now.
01:16:39What are you going to do?
01:16:45I think I have an idea.
01:16:46I think I have an idea.
