00:00Why do four out of five relationships start in the most random places?
00:03Parks, stores, restaurants, and me?
00:07I'm in a non-smoking bar, dying for a cigarette.
00:10That's my client. He doesn't know it yet.
00:13Hello? Can I help you?
00:16Actually, I want to help you.
00:18Oh? How so?
00:20I know you don't want to be here.
00:21Your friends dragged you out to fix whatever mood you've been in lately.
00:24How do you know that?
00:30Take this. Buy that girl a drink. Don't make any moves. Just listen.
00:34Give her your number at the end of the night. Tell her to call if she needs someone to talk
00:37to.
00:37Wait, who are you?
00:44That's my grandfather. Most people know him as Cupid.
00:47I know him as the most annoying immortal alive.
00:50Olympia Lane?
00:51You know it.
00:54Does everything in your house have to be Valentine-themed?
00:57It is my holiday.
00:58Sure, Grandpa.
01:00Your grandfather has an announcement.
01:02What is it, Grandpa?
01:04Elaine believes my job takes away from our life together.
01:07The world's population keeps growing.
01:10I'm barely home.
01:12You have employees. You're not making every match yourself.
01:15I still manage all of them. It takes too much of my time.
01:18Time? We're immortal.
01:20Everyone in this room lives forever.
01:22Time shouldn't be an issue.
01:24Regardless, I've decided to retire.
01:26I'm leaving everything to my successor.
01:28What?
01:30This is not a joke.
01:35What are you going to do for the rest of eternity?
01:38Spend time with family. Pick up a hobby.
01:42You can't retire. You're Cupid. What happens on Valentine's Day?
01:46It will all be your responsibility.
01:48What?
01:49You are my successor, Scarlet.
01:51I didn't even want this job. What makes you think I want the whole business?
01:55We're not just handing it over. There's a test.
01:58One case. A tough one. Match this person with his proper mate and the business is yours.
02:03I don't want the business.
02:05You might change your mind. This will take time.
02:09I've never needed long with a case before.
02:12This one involves an immortal.
02:15An immortal? On Earth?
02:17A fallen angel looking for love.
02:20Immortals have to be paired with other immortals. That's the rule.
02:24Exactly why this will take time. Not many immortals walk the Earth. And most are in hiding.
02:30Really now? How hard could it be?
02:41You have living arrangements?
02:43I'm staying with Maisie. As always.
02:45You're always welcome here.
02:48Are you going to meet him today?
02:50Oh no. I almost forgot about the food in the oven.
02:54I thought you were quitting.
02:56Why should I? It's not like I can get lung cancer.
02:58Your grandmother will not be happy hearing this.
03:01I'll quit when that pack is empty.
03:04Looks like it's time to quit.
03:07I'm not cleaning that up.
03:11Trouble in paradise?
03:14Paradise?
03:15You live in the house of love. Everything must always be great.
03:21Yeah. Just peachy.
03:32Scarlet?
03:33Hey, Maisie.
03:34Nice to see you home for once.
03:37Sorry. Busy schedule. New job.
03:40Another one?
03:40How many is that now?
03:42Starbucks Mondays and Fridays.
03:44The office Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays.
03:46And now the theater Thursdays and Sundays.
03:48I should go check out this client's place. Get a head start.
03:51Already? You just got here.
03:52No time like the present.
04:03You'd think this guy could afford a maid.
04:12Oh. My.
04:15Nice dog. Nice dog.
04:17Shh. Shut up.
04:22Here we go.
04:27Who the hell are you?
04:28Whoa. You don't lock the door, but you have a gun?
04:31Answer the question.
04:32My name is Scarlet. And you are?
04:34What are you doing in my house?
04:36Hey! Language!
04:37And you don't want blood on your walls.
04:39Or maybe you do, since it matched the rest of this mess.
04:41Get out of my house!
04:42Okay, okay. But I will find you and you, and next time you'll be gunless.
04:47Gosh. Touchy.
04:53Maisie?
04:54In here!
04:56Hey!
04:57What is that?
04:58That's Mrs. Finch's Chihuahua.
04:59She asked me to watch it for the weekend.
05:01The weekend?
05:02It's Thursday.
05:03She's paying me.
05:04Heaven knows I need the cash.
05:07This is Peanut.
05:08Believe it or not, she's a girl.
05:14Just take her out later.
05:15I'll be back around 11.
05:17Don't wait up.
05:22Can't anyone have a normal dog?
05:24I need to order something to fill my stomach.
05:28The one you love is closer than you think.
05:31Sure it is.
05:32Come on, rat.
05:33Let's go.
05:36So he pulled a gun on you?
05:37Yep.
05:38And you made fun of his apartment while he did it?
05:41It was disgusting, Maisie.
05:43There were boxers on the couch.
05:45You have a death wish.
05:47I'm immortal.
05:48It's fine.
05:50Still, how does the money stuff work for you?
05:52I've always wondered.
05:53Lord Morricott handles the finances.
05:55I get a monthly budget.
05:56I can't draw attention to myself.
05:57No million dollar shopping sprees.
05:59You could buy a house.
06:00Wouldn't you buy a-
06:03That's him.
06:04Who, him?
06:05Him, him.
06:06Oh.
06:06The hot angel, him?
06:08Hey.
06:09You're that girl who broke into my house.
06:11You broke into his house?
06:12His door was unlocked.
06:13I just invited myself inside.
06:16I'm gunless today.
06:17You want to tell me whatever you wanted to?
06:18There was a gun?
06:20You can go back to work.
06:21You're just going to sit with the girl who broke into your house?
06:24We're in public.
06:25There are witnesses.
06:26Plus, you're hot.
06:27Uh-huh.
06:28So why were you in my house harassing my dog?
06:31Tank is a Saint Bernard, not a bear.
06:33I'm here to help you.
06:35With what?
06:35Your love life.
06:37Did Tripp put you up to this?
06:40Where are the hidden cameras?
06:42I'm serious.
06:43I know your secret.
06:46What secret?
06:47You're immortal!
06:50How do you know that?
06:53You're my assignment.
06:55I have a whole folder on you.
06:57I'm finding you your soulmate.
06:59Who the hell are you?
07:02I'm Cupid's granddaughter.
07:08I'll get a new message now.
07:11Cause that's in the background.
07:17I wasn't aware Cupid could fall in love himself.
07:20He wasn't supposed to.
07:23I also thought Cupid was a baby with wings and a bow.
07:27Those are chariots. We stopped using them.
07:34why because some genius gave a flying baby a weapon and told it to shoot people
07:38what would you do if you saw that coming at you point taken
07:48why are you abnormally pretty excuse me
07:55sorry that sounded wrong
08:03do you know anything about greek mythology the basics aren't greek and roman the same
08:08it's complicated you know aphrodite goddess of beauty and love she had an affair with the god
08:14of war and had my grandfather victor better known as eros or cupid then victor fell in love with a
08:22mortal named elaine that's finey two of the most beautiful women in history their genes are inside

24:03hidden
24:04or uninterested
24:05what about someone who isn't in the registry
24:07what do you mean
24:08you said most immortals are in hiding
24:10what if there's one who's been hiding so well
24:12that even the registry
24:13that even the registry doesn't know about them
24:16maize
24:16that's actually brilliant
24:19i have my moments
24:20an unregistered immortal
24:23someone who fell off the grid entirely
24:27but how do i find someone who doesn't want to be found
24:29you found celesta

32:20i don't want to spend eternity
32:22matching other people while i
32:27while you what darling
32:32while i'm alone
32:41you fell in love with the client
32:44scarlet the match energy doesn't lie
32:46if gemma is his match
32:47i know i'm not going to interfere
32:49he deserves happiness
32:50i just can't run a love business
32:52when i know what it feels like to lose it
32:54your grandfather once defied
32:56every rule to be with me
32:57love doesn't follow rules
32:59not even ours
33:00have you told him how you feel
33:01no
33:02and i'm not going to
33:05i'm not retiring yet
33:06what
33:07i said i'd retire when you passed the test
33:09you passed
33:10but i'm choosing not to retire
33:12because i think there's one more match
33:13you need to make
33:14whose
33:15yours
33:21how did you find me
33:23macy told me
33:24i went on three dates with gemma
33:27and
33:28she's amazing
33:29smart
33:30kind
33:31funny
33:32everything you said she'd be
33:34good
33:34i'm happy for you
33:36but i ended it
33:37you what
33:39damien
33:39she's your match
33:40the energy was perfect
33:41the energy was perfect
33:43she wasn't
33:44not for me
33:45that doesn't make sense
33:46my gift doesn't lie
33:51maybe it doesn't
33:52maybe gemma is an incredible person
33:55and immortal i'm meant to have in my life
33:56but not as a lover
33:58kind of like celesta
33:59connected
34:00but not romantic
34:02then i failed
34:03the match was wrong
34:04or maybe the match was pointing somewhere else
34:06and you were too stubborn to see it
34:11what are you saying
34:14when i was with gemma
34:15all i could think about was you
34:17the girl who broke into my apartment
34:20who cleaned my house
34:21and sang bohemian rhapsody off key
34:23who found my oldest friend
34:24and brought her back to me
34:26who gave up cigarettes
34:27because my grandfather told her to
34:29your grandfather didn't
34:30scarlet
34:32i'm in love with you
34:36you can't be
34:37i'm your matchmaker
34:39i'm supposed to find you someone else
34:43you did
34:45you found yourself
34:48you're an idiot
34:51probably
34:51is that a deal breaker
34:55no
