00:00:00I love you, sister.
00:00:07I love you, sister.
00:00:14I love you, sister.
00:00:19What? What? What?
00:00:33Good morning, wifey.
00:00:36Is this how it's going to go every day?
00:00:42Tired out.
00:00:43Now, on your profile, you make yourself look very artsy.
00:00:47But now that I see you in front of me, you look more like a businessman.
00:00:52Which is fine. I'll forgive you just this once.
00:00:55Remind me again. We met on...
00:00:59Fringe.
00:01:01Right.
00:01:04Oh, no. You do this all the time, don't you?
00:01:07Oh, my God. I'm just a member on your apps.
00:01:09No, no, no.
00:01:10Let me ask you this. What outside of my profile do you not know about me?
00:01:17And if you look like that, it tells me that you must work for the big man.
00:01:26You were right about one thing.
00:01:28I'm a corporate guy. Just climbing that hierarchical ladder.
00:01:35And the suit is a rental, so careful not to mess it up any.
00:01:41Okay. Let's do this.
00:01:44Do what?
00:01:45Get married, duh. Come on. Let's go.
00:02:01Are you sure you want to get married?
00:02:04It's my mom.
00:02:09Let's get married.
00:02:11Well, all right. I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:02:16Yay.
00:02:17We did it.
00:02:18We did it.
00:02:19Good morning, wifey. Is this how it's going to go every day?
00:02:22Sorry.
00:02:24Permission to come aboard?
00:02:25Permission granted.
00:02:26Okay.
00:02:30Should I order room service?
00:02:33Do you have work, boss man?
00:02:35What time does the venue open?
00:02:37No. My boss is pretty laid back. He's actually a pretty cool guy.
00:02:42Wait, didn't you want to see your mom?
00:02:44You're still willing to do that?
00:02:47Yeah. We got married. The hard part's over.
00:02:50Yeah, you haven't met my mom yet.
00:03:00Why don't you go get us some coffee then? How do you like it?
00:03:03Hot.
00:03:05Copy that.
00:03:28What was that?
00:03:34Oh, God.
00:03:39I'm not looking. I'm not looking.
00:03:42Okay, you can look now.
00:03:44Are you regretting marrying me yet?
00:03:47Well, let's see. You spilled beer all over me.
00:03:50Karate kicked me out of bed this morning.
00:03:52And now I might have a minor concussion.
00:03:54But we're off to a good start.
00:03:57What's next?
00:03:58Well, first we definitely need to get you a new outfit,
00:04:01because you are not meeting my mom looking like that.
00:04:04I need to change, though. Could you?
00:04:06Oh, okay.
00:04:10I like those shoes. What's going?
00:04:12Whoa, whoa, Ted. What are you doing? Look at those prices.
00:04:16What are you talking about? I make a decent salary.
00:04:18Ted, you're just an accountant at a retail company, not Bill Gates.
00:04:22You've got to watch your finances.
00:04:23And now that we're married, this is my concern, too.
00:04:28I saw a place over there that looks more reasonable.
00:04:30Let's go do that.
00:04:31But I wanted...
00:04:41This is for you. This is for you. This is for you.
00:04:44Ted, you have to try this.
00:04:46But this...
00:04:47This...
00:04:48It's going to taste great. Don't worry.
00:04:53Bye.
00:05:03Good morning, boss. You look sharp.
00:05:09Ted, what's this all about?
00:05:11What's what about?
00:05:15Oh, this. Yeah, I got married yesterday.
00:05:19Please tell me that you signed a prenup.
00:05:23And then...
00:05:24We got married.
00:05:26Are you crazy?
00:05:27You married a stranger, Nora. What do you even know about this guy?
00:05:31How about you meet him, and then you can see how hot he is.
00:05:35Where are you going?
00:05:37To see my mom. Ted will be there, too. Come with.
00:05:42Hi, Mom.
00:05:46I brought you some flowers.
00:05:49I'd like you to meet Ted.
00:05:51Remember Ted? I told you about him a little bit.
00:05:53Yes, dear. You talk about him a lot.
00:05:56We got married last night, actually.
00:05:59Here are some pictures.
00:06:04And these are our rings.
00:06:09I'm so happy for you, Mom.
00:06:16So, Anna, did I pass the test? Can I date my wife now?
00:06:20I'll allow it for now.
00:06:22All right. See you guys later.
00:06:24Bye.
00:06:30Is this your car, Ted?
00:06:33Um...
00:06:37Hey, sir. Good to see you.
00:06:40How's your father doing?
00:06:43He's fine. Thanks for asking.
00:06:46Great.
00:06:48This is Nora, my wife, and her mother's inside back there.
00:06:52Nora, this is Liam, my boss.
00:06:55Oh, it's so nice to meet you.
00:06:58So nice to meet you, too.
00:07:00Anyway, let's go. Have a good day, sir.
00:07:08Well, take a seat, teddy bear.
00:07:10While you're away, your feet out.
00:07:19These are pretty good.
00:07:21You think so?
00:07:22Yeah.
00:07:23That's really sweet of you to say.
00:07:25It's, you know, pays the rent, but just barely.
00:07:30What's this?
00:07:31Try it.
00:07:33A tank top and a pair of jeans?
00:07:37I can eat meat this month.
00:07:40Hey, well done.
00:07:42But your designs are still at ten bucks.
00:07:45Isn't that a bit low?
00:07:46You got to start somewhere.
00:07:48You wouldn't understand.
00:07:49Entrepreneurship is all about building relationships and not getting greedy.
00:07:54I got to start packing this up for tomorrow to ship.
00:07:59Another one?
00:08:12Hey, could I help you with anything?
00:08:14Yeah. Could you start packing?
00:08:17Sure.
00:08:19No.
00:08:22Someone just bought everything?
00:08:25I don't believe this. This is a whole month's rent.
00:08:29Teddy, you understand how incredible this is?
00:08:53What's the matter?
00:09:00Nora!
00:09:02Hey.
00:09:03It's so nice to see you. It's been a while.
00:09:06I know. It's been like five years, right?
00:09:10Wow. Did you go back to school?
00:09:13Yeah, I did.
00:09:15Oh, that's great.
00:09:17It's been like five years, right?
00:09:19Wow. Did you go back to school?
00:09:22No, I ended up starting a business.
00:09:25Look at you.
00:09:28Look at you. You made manager at this fancy hotel. Congrats.
00:09:34What are you doing here? Are you meeting someone?
00:09:38No. Actually, maybe you could help me.
00:09:41I've been having these really weird flashbacks.
00:09:44Do you happen to know if I've stayed here before?
00:09:47Of course. We spent the weekend here.
00:09:50But come to think of it, I didn't see you after that.
00:09:54Who's we?
00:09:56You, me, and Hannah. Don't you remember?
00:10:05Hannah, you're my best friend, right?
00:10:08Right.
00:10:09I need you to tell me what happened at the hotel five years ago.
00:10:12Before I got sick. Before I dropped out of college.
00:10:15Why are you suddenly asking?
00:10:18I got this weird image in my head, and I went down to the hotel this morning,
00:10:22and May said that we spent a week in there, but Hannah, I don't remember anything.
00:10:26Look, I'm going to be honest with you. I was so drunk that I blacked out.
00:10:31I woke up in the room with May, and you weren't there.
00:10:33We met in the hallway, and you were coming out of a different room with a guy.
00:10:39But you didn't want to talk about it.
00:10:41What's the guy?
00:10:43Was it Morris?
00:10:45No, honey, I don't think so.
00:10:47So I cheated on him, then. Is that why we broke up?
00:10:52I wouldn't say that, Nora.
00:10:54But there's no point digging up the past.
00:10:56You got better, and that's all that matters.
00:11:02I should write for your big job interview. Oh, nice, Nora.
00:11:05Remind me again why you charge so little for these.
00:11:08They're not up to standard. It's more of a hobby.
00:11:11It doesn't look like a hobby to me. You should come work at Liam's company.
00:11:16I'll get you an interview tomorrow.
00:11:19Hi, I'm Ted.
00:11:20Nice shirt. Flanagan, you look great today.
00:11:23Did you mean Fallon-gan, or were you so in awe of my beauty that you forgot your own last name?
00:11:29Ted can do that. He sometimes forgets his own role here.
00:11:34That's right.
00:11:36Well, are you ready for that interview today?
00:11:38I think so.
00:11:40Oh, and Mr. Sherman, thank you so much again for the opportunity.
00:11:44Ted said you were a good man.
00:11:47Ah, yes, my pleasure. Good luck.
00:11:50Now, Teddy needs to go bring me my coffee. Don't you, Teddy?
00:11:55Yeah.
00:11:57Well, good luck. Let me know how it goes.
00:12:00Okay. Thank you.
00:12:03Teddy?
00:12:09Hi, thank you so much.
00:12:11Yeah, yeah.
00:12:13Nora, was it?
00:12:15Why did you drop out of college?
00:12:18Was it too hard for you?
00:12:20I got sick.
00:12:22With what?
00:12:24It's kind of personal.
00:12:26Avoiding the question.
00:12:28Do you bring some samples for us?
00:12:30Yeah, I do.
00:12:44These are terribly basic.
00:12:49You know, this would never pass as Sherman's.
00:12:51You're obviously subpar, so why don't you get a degree,
00:12:56and then maybe we'll chat?
00:13:04I'm sorry about her.
00:13:06That wasn't fair at all.
00:13:12I think your designs are really creative,
00:13:14but sadly it's up to Lynn as to who we give a chance and who we don't.
00:13:18Best of luck to you, though.
00:13:20Best of luck to you, though.
00:13:51Morris, what are you doing here?
00:13:54What are you doing here?
00:13:56Set your bastard daughter out of wedlock?
00:13:58Fuck off, Morris.
00:14:00Same old slut from five years ago, huh?
00:14:03You know what hurt the most?
00:14:05It wasn't you cheating on me.
00:14:06It was the fact that you disappeared
00:14:08after I paid for your mother's treatment for two years.
00:14:11Some nerve on you.
00:14:13Well, I'm glad I ran into you now, all miserable.
00:14:17You don't think...
00:14:19I'll figure it out. Leave it to me.
00:14:31Teddy bear, let's go out to celebrate tonight.
00:14:35I'll ask for the check.
00:14:36No, no, it's my treat.
00:14:37No, I insist. I, um...
00:14:40I got a promotion.
00:14:42You did?
00:14:44You did? Teddy bear?
00:14:47Congrats.
00:14:48I'll be right back.
00:14:49Okay.
00:14:58Liam, what's up?
00:14:59Ted, I dug up some stuff on Nora.
00:15:01Can you come over?
00:15:02No, there's no need.
00:15:04I already know she isn't a gold digger.
00:15:14I got a long list of firsts for ya, my busy bee.
00:15:28First dance.
00:15:30Just feel the music and see where it leads.
00:15:33Receive a shitty gift from your girlfriend for the first time.
00:15:37Soaking your feet in the pool with your beau for the very first time.
00:15:41Be as cheesy as you can.
00:15:43Wait, does this even count as one of our firsts?
00:15:49Ted...
00:15:52I'm happy for ya, honestly.
00:15:54But I'm worried.
00:15:56She got you to marry her.
00:15:58She's half your shit now.
00:15:59And I heard that five years ago...
00:16:00No, no, no. I don't need to know.
00:16:02She can have her privacy. I'll be fine.
00:16:04Sherman will be fine.
00:16:05Can't I just live a little?
00:16:08Okay.
00:16:10Oh, Liam, can you do me a favor?
00:16:12I need you to go on Airbnb and find me a modest house.
00:16:27What do you think?
00:16:31Do you like it?
00:16:32This is too nice.
00:16:33How can you afford this?
00:16:35Well, it's rent control, you know?
00:16:40Yeah, I just swooped in at the perfect time.
00:16:43Oh.
00:16:44Anyway, let me show you the patio.
00:16:46Come on.
00:16:48Rent control?
00:16:53Well, have a seat.
00:17:00Listen, we've spent every night together.
00:17:03We're married, for God's sakes.
00:17:06We might as well live together.
00:17:11Uh, I need to...
00:17:14I'm falling for you, wifey.
00:17:19I love you.
00:17:21I know, I know. Here comes the L-bomb.
00:17:24But I've been wanting to say it for a while.
00:17:27I was just too scared.
00:17:29Kind of like what your face is doing right now.
00:17:32But I've just spent so much of my life on unimportant things
00:17:36and too afraid to confront the things that actually matter.
00:17:39I don't want to waste any more time.
00:17:43Fuck it.
00:17:46I've been thinking about the L-bomb, too.
00:17:52I'm in.
00:17:54Husband.
00:18:01Obviously, I can help.
00:18:04Obviously, I can help pay half of the rent and the bills
00:18:08and for the bread and eggs and, you know, that kind of thing.
00:18:12But we'll figure out a list later.
00:18:14And did you know that I know where all the best discounts in town are?
00:18:18So that's helpful.
00:18:20Come on.
00:18:22No.
00:18:31No.
00:18:33Go on.
00:18:35It might be important.
00:18:37I'm not going anywhere.
00:18:39Hello?
00:18:45It's the hospital.
00:18:47Yes, this is Nora.
00:18:53Out of the way.
00:18:57Oh, no, I'm so sorry.
00:18:59You can't come in.
00:19:07Hang on, sweetie.
00:19:09You're doing great.
00:19:10Just breathe.
00:19:11Mm-hmm, yeah.
00:19:12I know, I know.
00:19:13Just hold my hand.
00:19:14Okay.
00:19:15Clear the way.
00:19:16Hurry up.
00:19:17Get out of the way.
00:19:18Nora.
00:19:20Hey, it's going to be okay.
00:19:22She's going to be fine.
00:19:28Whatever happens, I'm here for you.
00:19:30Okay?
00:19:33Why are you still here for me, Ted?
00:19:36Why are you still here?
00:19:38I know why I married you.
00:19:40Because of her.
00:19:42Why the hell did you marry a perfect stranger?
00:19:45What's wrong with you?
00:19:51I'm sorry.
00:19:53It's okay.
00:19:57Ms. Campbell?
00:19:59It's Fallon again.
00:20:01Apologies, Ms. Fallon again.
00:20:03About your mother, I'm sorry to say there was really nothing we could do.
00:20:07I know.
00:20:10It's okay.
00:20:11We're going to get through this.
00:20:13You want to see her?
00:20:15Can she see her?
00:20:17Not at this time, I'm afraid.
00:20:19Take me home, please.
00:20:38No.
00:20:42I'm sorry.
00:20:44I'm really not good company right now.
00:20:47What are you talking about?
00:20:49It's okay to be sad, Nora.
00:20:52In fact, you'd be a psycho if you didn't feel anything at all.
00:21:04Grief.
00:21:07It's tough.
00:21:09But it's proof that we've truly loved someone.
00:21:13Now, you might feel better tomorrow.
00:21:15Or it might take years.
00:21:17But no matter what, I'm here for you.
00:21:29Where have you been?
00:21:31You've missed half a day's work.
00:21:33I'm sorry, Lynn. I, um...
00:21:36I've been going through kind of a lot.
00:21:39My mom passed away yesterday.
00:21:43Well, you should have called out if you needed time for personal matters.
00:21:49I'm a very reasonable person, but this behavior is unjustifiable.
00:21:56What difference does it make, Lynn?
00:21:58I'm supposed to be the assistant designer, and I've just been getting coffees and lunches.
00:22:03I didn't sign up for this.
00:22:05Darling, everyone starts at the bottom.
00:22:09Would you like a more challenging task?
00:22:15Here.
00:22:16You can deliver this to a very important client.
00:22:22Do not disappoint me.
00:22:26Is there a problem?
00:22:28No.
00:22:38May I help you?
00:22:39Yes, I'm looking for Morris. Is he in?
00:22:41I'm afraid he's not.
00:22:42It's really important that I hand these to him personally. Do you know where I can find him?
00:22:46He's at the place where he spends all of his nights and most of his days.
00:22:51I know exactly where that is. Thank you.
00:22:56Oh, I'll have to call you back.
00:22:59Alright, bye.
00:23:01I'm sorry, Ted.
00:23:02It's okay, what's up?
00:23:03I've got some good news, and I've got some bad news.
00:23:05Shoot.
00:23:06The good news is, I'm pretty sure the Brown Group has a huge tax evasion issue,
00:23:10which will lead us an opportunity to get in the table.
00:23:12Okay, well I appreciate you taking initiative.
00:23:15What's the bad news?
00:23:17Uh, how do I say this?
00:23:19Lynn, she sent Nora over to the Brown Group office.
00:23:24Specifically, Morris.
00:23:26She what?
00:23:28I know it's not my business here, boss, but isn't that the guy that shouted at her from the park?
00:23:36You did the right thing. Thank you.
00:23:47Morris.
00:23:51Well, well, well.
00:23:54Who do we have here?
00:23:57You realize how much you missed me when you saw me the other day?
00:24:02I'm from Sherman Groups.
00:24:04Oh, so you work for them now, do you?
00:24:06It's really none of your business.
00:24:08Just sign it, and then I'll leave.
00:24:11How'd you find me here?
00:24:13This place is your church, Morris.
00:24:15You're really not that hard to find.
00:24:17It's too dark in here.
00:24:19You can't see what I'm signing.
00:24:20Let's go outside.
00:24:22Just sign it already, Morris.
00:24:24Where's the fourth one?
00:24:26The fourth one?
00:24:32Come on, you owe me this much.
00:24:44Looks like your knight in shining armor arrives, slut.
00:24:48No!
00:24:54Don't forget who my father is, Ted.
00:24:56I don't give a fuck who your father is!
00:24:58Ted, stop! You'll kill him!
00:25:02Ah, wouldn't that be a shame.
00:25:04Let's get the fuck out of here.
00:25:13How did you know where I was?
00:25:15I didn't.
00:25:17I was just passing by.
00:25:19Thank God I did.
00:25:21How did he know your name?
00:25:23Hmm?
00:25:24Morris.
00:25:26He said your name.
00:25:27How did he know it?
00:25:28Well, we've worked together before.
00:25:31I mean, I've met him a couple of times.
00:25:34Thank you for saving me.
00:25:40I just...
00:25:42I wish that I was strong enough to save myself sometimes.
00:25:46You are.
00:25:48It's not your fault the world's full of assholes.
00:25:54Ted...
00:25:57I've been having these flashbacks,
00:25:59and I've been trying to decide whether or not to tell you about them.
00:26:04I have these missing memories.
00:26:06I think something happened to me five years ago.
00:26:13What were the flashbacks about?
00:26:16I don't know.
00:26:19But I think it all started in a room at the L Hotel.
00:26:24Well, let's go back there and find out, then.
00:26:26No, no. I've already been there. It wasn't helpful.
00:26:28No, we'll go back another time. We'll get some clues.
00:26:31Ted, it's probably nothing.
00:26:34Well...
00:26:37I just...
00:26:43What's got you so excited?
00:26:45We're gonna get him.
00:26:47Who?
00:26:48Wilson.
00:26:49It's time we put a stop to this family business.
00:26:57Wait a second. This is Brown Group.
00:26:59What are we doing here?
00:27:00I told you. Wilson's committing tax evasion.
00:27:03I found out through a hacker that got a hold of his accounts.
00:27:05So?
00:27:06We're blackmailing him.
00:27:08Hmm. I thought you will.
00:27:11Does this mean I'm getting a raise?
00:27:16What the hell do you want?
00:27:17Easy, son.
00:27:22This could go one of two ways, Wilson.
00:27:25We got your accounts. We know you're doing dirty business.
00:27:28In the right hands, this could put you in jail for the rest of your life.
00:27:32What do you want?
00:27:33You know what we want.
00:27:34We'll swallow Brown Group for pennies on the dollar, old man.
00:27:37We're done negotiating.
00:27:38Hell no.
00:27:42Hmm.
00:27:43You're gonna make amends.
00:27:45Wait, what did you do, Morris?
00:27:47You tried to rape my wife.
00:27:50He what?
00:27:51Your wife.
00:27:52Now I can put you both in jail, unless...
00:27:53No, he'll do it. Whatever it is.
00:27:55Father.
00:27:56He will do it. You shut it.
00:27:57Or I will send you somewhere worse than prison.
00:28:00Get us out of this mess.
00:28:02Okay.
00:28:04You're gonna go back to her.
00:28:06And you're going to apologize to her.
00:28:09And if I sense so much as a flicker of disrespect,
00:28:13so help me God, I will tear you to fucking pieces.
00:28:15Yeah, yeah. I got it.
00:28:22I don't know how I'm gonna go on in life not figuring out whatever happened to me.
00:28:25If I just pretend like nothing happened,
00:28:27then these memories are going to keep coming back to me and literally eat me alive.
00:28:33Can I tell you something crazy?
00:28:35You crazy? No way.
00:28:38I think Lynn might have something to do with whatever happened to me.
00:28:44I don't understand how.
00:28:49I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
00:28:53Hannah, I was pregnant.
00:28:59I was pregnant.
00:29:05Wait, did you know that already?
00:29:12Oh my God.
00:29:13Oh my God. You knew.
00:29:14I'm sorry.
00:29:15Of course you knew. You remember everything. Why didn't you tell me?
00:29:18I'm sorry, Nora. I was trying to protect you.
00:29:21I promise I don't know anything about Lynn.
00:29:25The night at the L, you found out you were pregnant.
00:29:28Who was the father?
00:29:30I don't know, but we both assumed it was the guy from that night.
00:29:35You were really excited. You dropped out of college because you were determined to be a mom for this baby.
00:29:41But I don't know what happened. You lost the child.
00:29:46You attempted suicide three times after you lost the baby.
00:29:50You just couldn't live with that.
00:29:56What did I name him?
00:29:59Her.
00:30:00Her.
00:30:01It was a girl.
00:30:05You didn't name her.
00:30:08You didn't have the chance.
00:30:11So why can't I remember?
00:30:13Your brain repressed these memories for a reason.
00:30:16Then why are things starting to come back to me now?
00:30:19Obviously something is triggering it.
00:30:22I'm going to figure out what.
00:30:24Will you help me?
00:30:29Where are you going?
00:30:32To make some coffee and get lunches, because that's my job.
00:30:41You're fired.
00:30:46What did I name him?
00:30:49You don't belong here.
00:30:51When are you going to get it in your tiny little head?
00:30:54Now get out.
00:30:57Just let me get my things.
00:30:59Yeah.
00:31:06What is this?
00:31:10Oh, you won't be needing those, darling.
00:31:12Darling?
00:31:13Lynn, put the pieces together.
00:31:15Nora is Ted's secret wife.
00:31:19I'm sorry, I just hallucinated.
00:31:22Ted, how did this happen?
00:31:24Oh, it's nothing personal, Lynn.
00:31:26But now that we're on the subject, you have been a horrible mentor for Nora.
00:31:30All you've done is try to sabotage and belittle her.
00:31:33Now, I won't fire you just yet.
00:31:34Fire me?
00:31:35Right, not yet.
00:31:36I'm a man of second chances.
00:31:37And third.
00:31:38And fifth.
00:31:39But with this one.
00:31:40Ted, what's going on?
00:31:41How can you fire Lynn?
00:31:47Ted, I don't understand.
00:31:48How can an accountant fire the head designer?
00:31:50What's going on?
00:31:52An accountant?
00:31:53Is that what he told you?
00:31:58Nora, listen.
00:31:59I'm so sorry.
00:32:00I lied to you.
00:32:01Everything was just happening so fast, and you were the first person to like me for me.
00:32:05I didn't want that to go away.
00:32:07I'm so sorry.
00:32:10I just...
00:32:11What the hell even are you?
00:32:13I'm still Teddy.
00:32:15I'm just also the CEO of the Sherman Group.
00:32:18It was my father's company.
00:32:20And Liam is actually just my assistant.
00:32:24So you've been lying to my face this whole time?
00:32:27No.
00:32:28No, I...
00:32:29Well, I guess I did about my identity, but everything else I told you about me was true,
00:32:34except for the job title, which I thought didn't even matter to you.
00:32:39Ted, you know that's not the point.
00:32:42Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:32:46Can we just talk about this over lunch, please?
00:32:49Fine.
00:32:51We can talk about it over lunch.
00:32:53There's no reason that people don't listen in on our conversation.
00:32:58You're so stupidly lucky.
00:33:07Uh, do you still need us here?
00:33:10Ah, yes.
00:33:11The Brown Group.
00:33:12I almost forgot.
00:33:14Darling, Morris is here to apologize to you.
00:33:19Well, I wouldn't say.
00:33:23I'm sorry for being a creep and an assaulter.
00:33:26And?
00:33:28And a bona fide rapist.
00:33:30Well, uh, it has been a pleasure.
00:33:33Not so fast, old man.
00:33:37What the hell?
00:33:40What did you do, Sherman?
00:33:41Well, let's just say your clients found out that you cheated them out of all their money.
00:33:47Safe to say you won't work in this town for a really, really long time.
00:33:53You son of a bitch!
00:33:54Ah, hold your breath.
00:33:56Now, I could have sent you and your bastard son to jail already,
00:34:00but I'm showing you mercy.
00:34:05You're going to buy me out?
00:34:07You can still keep your positions at Brown Group, only now it'll be called Sherman.
00:34:11That's right. We've bought you out for ten cents.
00:34:14You're not going to get away with this, Sherman.
00:34:16Oh, but I already have.
00:34:27Let's go, Morris.
00:34:37This isn't even your house, is it?
00:34:41No, but it can still be ours.
00:34:43You're not even renting it? You're paying an owner hundreds of dollars a night?
00:34:48God, Ted, we come from such different worlds.
00:34:52No, we don't.
00:34:53I mean, before you found out I was the CEO, we had so much in common.
00:34:57We got along really well.
00:34:59See, I'll show you my house. I'll show you everything about my life, okay?
00:35:03You're already a huge part of it.
00:35:05I don't care about your house or your job, Ted.
00:35:10You lied to me about things that were actually important.
00:35:14No, I didn't.
00:35:15Oh, no?
00:35:16No.
00:35:17Okay, well, what about this list of firsts, Ted?
00:35:23How many of these were actually real?
00:35:28I don't even care if I was anyone's first or not.
00:35:32But I really cared about that sweet person that you pretended to be.
00:35:38I can't believe I bought it.
00:35:42Noah.
00:35:44No.
00:35:45Listen to me.
00:35:47You are my first love.
00:35:49Nothing else counted before that.
00:35:51Not a single woman, not a single experience, not a single thought in my head.
00:35:57Everything reset when I met you.
00:35:59When I met my wife.
00:36:00And I just decided to marry her without so much as a thought.
00:36:06No, Ted.
00:36:08You really hurt me.
00:36:11And I'll never trust you again.
00:36:14Oh, come on, Nora. That's not fair. You lied to me, too.
00:36:18Excuse me?
00:36:22I found out you dated Morris a few years back.
00:36:25And then I had Liam search you up and he found out that you have a kid.
00:36:32I mean, that's huge.
00:36:33Why would you try to hide that from me?
00:36:35You have some nerve, Ted Sherman.
00:36:39Thank you for making this so much easier for me.
00:36:43And you know what?
00:36:45It's actually really easy to get a fake marriage annulled.
00:36:49I married Ted Fallengin.
00:36:52I married Ted Fallengin.
00:36:58Thank you for making a fake fringe profile.
00:37:03Faker.
00:37:07Nora!
00:37:09Nora, come on!
00:37:17Tell me everything.
00:37:18Ted made a fake fringe profile.
00:37:22Turns out his last name isn't Fallengin, it's Sherman.
00:37:26Oh, Sherman as in the Sherman Groups.
00:37:31Yeah, he's not an accountant. Newsflash, he's a CEO.
00:37:36Okay, um, I get that he lied, but can we be happy that you're dating a billionaire for a sec?
00:37:44Look at him.
00:37:49Wait a minute.
00:37:51Girl, this isn't Ted.
00:37:52What?
00:37:55So I got Ted confused with this guy?
00:37:59But what would Ted Sherman want from me anyway?
00:38:02He has such a fancy life.
00:38:05Why did he agree to this whole fake marriage thing with me, you know?
00:38:09Maybe he really loves you.
00:38:11I was a stranger to him!
00:38:19Nora.
00:38:21I'm so glad you're here.
00:38:24Wait, are you leaving?
00:38:26You know Lynn can't fire you.
00:38:28No, Ted. I quit.
00:38:32I couldn't possibly work for you anymore.
00:38:34Wait, Nora, please. Just give me another chance. I promise I'm not gonna-
00:38:38No, Ted.
00:38:40It's over.
00:38:43I'll come by the house to pick up my things later tonight, okay?
00:38:47Yes, it was Ted Sherman.
00:38:50He lured me to a hotel bar, he offered me a high-paying job at his company,
00:38:55and then he spiked my drink and he had his way with me.
00:39:00And there he is.
00:39:02Better wait for the court to subpoena you for rape.
00:39:16I'm sorry.
00:39:41On December 15th, he messaged me.
00:39:43He said he liked my designs and wanted to meet up for a business opportunity.
00:39:47Obviously, I was flattered because everyone in the fashion world knows who Ted Sherman is.
00:39:52We met in the lobby at the Elle Hotel in Hollywood on December 17th.
00:39:57The Elle Hotel?
00:40:00Wait a minute.
00:40:01I can't.
00:40:12That's not gonna help, brother.
00:40:14We gotta figure out who did this.
00:40:17I don't understand.
00:40:19I don't even know a Quinn.
00:40:21She's irrelevant.
00:40:23That must mean that somebody paid her to do this.
00:40:25Question is, who would want to hurt you like this?
00:40:28I don't even know.
00:40:29No? How about the girl that showed up out of nowhere,
00:40:32that got you to marry her, and then dumped you?
00:40:35She's a lot better off with you behind bars.
00:40:37Hey. Stop talking about her like that.
00:40:41I hurt her.
00:40:43I fucked up.
00:40:45Okay?
00:40:47She's the one who dumped me.
00:40:49She's not playing games.
00:40:52I sure hope you're right about this.
00:40:59I hope you're right about this.
00:41:30You came through.
00:41:34You'll get the other half once he's behind bars.
00:41:44Nora?
00:41:46No, no, no. You don't see me? I am not here.
00:42:00Everyone, if you could please be quiet.
00:42:02Ted Sherman has prepared a statement.
00:42:04A statement of his innocence.
00:42:08Thank you, Liam.
00:42:10This isn't so much a statement as it is proof of the lies I've been accused of.
00:42:18December 17th.
00:42:20Ms. Quinn was in New York.
00:42:22I was in New York.
00:42:24She was in New York.
00:42:26I was in New York.
00:42:27December 17th.
00:42:29Ms. Quinn was in New York.
00:42:31Therefore, nowhere near me, nor the El Hotel Hollywood.
00:42:35Case closed.
00:42:37Now, I won't be appearing in front of a jury, Ms. Quinn will.
00:42:40I'm suing her for defamation.
00:42:42The Sherman Group is no longer taking questions at this time.
00:42:51Hey, are you still at the office?
00:42:54Stay there.
00:42:55I have a proposition for you.
00:42:58What do you want?
00:43:00Keep it in your pants, Morris.
00:43:02You and I share a common enemy.
00:43:04I thought we could join forces.
00:43:06Oh.
00:43:08Who's this enemy that we share?
00:43:10Your beloved.
00:43:13What's this?
00:43:15Use it to destroy Nora.
00:43:18And with her, the Sherman Groups.
00:43:21Yeah.
00:43:23I don't get it. Why do you want to take down Ted's company?
00:43:25I thought you were in love with him.
00:43:27Ted took down his own company the minute he married that nobody.
00:43:35Destroy Ted.
00:43:37And I become the head designer of the Brown Group.
00:43:42Deal?
00:43:47You play in the big leagues.
00:43:49Alright. Deal.
00:43:56Men.
00:43:58They're all the same.
00:44:00Ted seemed different.
00:44:03Are you sure it's over?
00:44:05Positive.
00:44:07He lied and lied.
00:44:09How am I supposed to trust him again?
00:44:14Is that why you're helping him?
00:44:17You made two copies and left one in the printer.
00:44:20He's not a rapist.
00:44:22I couldn't let him go to jail.
00:44:23But those memories that came back to me...
00:44:26Is that really what happened?
00:44:28That I was...
00:44:29No. I don't think so.
00:44:31How do you know?
00:44:33I can't get over those memories of my baby.
00:44:35You said I lost her, right?
00:44:38I...
00:44:46Ted!
00:44:48Hi.
00:44:50Hi.
00:44:51Hi.
00:44:53I just wanted to say thank you.
00:44:56To Nora, the one hiding behind the couch right there.
00:45:00You saved my ass.
00:45:02Wifey.
00:45:17Oh my god.
00:45:19He remembered.
00:45:22When we were getting married and learning about each other,
00:45:25you know, in case the clerk asked questions,
00:45:28I told him that I didn't like bouquets
00:45:30and that a single flower was much more intimate.
00:45:36Come in.
00:45:39What are you doing here?
00:45:41I was cut to the chase.
00:45:43Yeah, that'd be best.
00:45:45I've recently come into possession of a Sherman's Doomday device.
00:45:48What the hell are you talking about?
00:45:49This could ruin you.
00:45:51Ruin me?
00:45:54Yeah.
00:45:56But, more importantly,
00:45:58it could ruin your dear wifey.
00:46:06Wait a second. What is this?
00:46:08Some kind of deep fake shit?
00:46:11I can assure you it's real.
00:46:13You can watch the rest when you pay me.
00:46:15And if you choose to be a smartass,
00:46:17I will leak this to the press.
00:46:19So, how did you even get that?
00:46:21You ask too many questions, Ted.
00:46:23The only question that you should be asking
00:46:25is how much.
00:46:27And the answer to that is
00:46:29one billion.
00:46:31You're fucking crazy.
00:46:33That'll bankrupt me.
00:46:35Either you lose your company or you lose your wife.
00:46:37And your reputation.
00:46:39It's up to you.
00:46:41But the good thing is I'll let you keep your job at my company.
00:46:49Okay.
00:47:03I need to talk to you.
00:47:05Now.
00:47:08Ted, I already told you I don't want to talk about...
00:47:11This is important.
00:47:13We have to go to the L.
00:47:15L?
00:47:19Ted, what the hell is going on?
00:47:21I don't think I can explain,
00:47:23but we need to find out what happened to you.
00:47:25Together.
00:47:27Come on.
00:47:29Will you tell me what we're doing?
00:47:31Um, hey.
00:47:33Hi. Could you help us?
00:47:35Nora! Hi. Um, you're back.
00:47:37Yes, I...
00:47:39Yes, I am.
00:47:41Wait. You two know each other?
00:47:43May and I went to college together.
00:47:45I studied fashion design
00:47:47and May went into management.
00:47:49Well, um,
00:47:51May, do you think you could tell us
00:47:53if she was with anyone about five years ago
00:47:55when she stayed here?
00:48:00I found it the other day when you came to see me.
00:48:03Sam Murphy.
00:48:09I don't know who that is.
00:48:13Uh, excuse me. I have to take this.
00:48:19Nora!
00:48:25Nora!
00:48:27Nora!
00:48:29Nora.
00:48:31Hey.
00:48:33Nora, Nora, Nora.
00:48:35Somebody help!
00:48:37Nora.
00:48:43Liam, what's up?
00:48:45Boss, I think I found out who the car belongs to.
00:48:47Who? Who was it?
00:48:49It was Falligan.
00:48:51Falligan.
00:48:53What the hell?
00:48:56Mr. Sherman?
00:48:59What's up, Doc?
00:49:01So, we have her in an induced coma.
00:49:03Now, she may wake up in an hour
00:49:05or she may not wake up at all.
00:49:07It's hard to tell. We need to wait and see.
00:49:20The name is Nora.
00:49:23I tell you all I adore.
00:49:26And my name is Ted.
00:49:29I wanna be more than friends.
00:49:32Oh, yeah.
00:49:34You wanna be more than friends.
00:49:36Nora!
00:49:40Hi. Hi.
00:49:42You're awake.
00:49:44My God.
00:49:46I can't.
00:49:48I can't breathe.
00:49:50Oh, you're right. I'm so sorry.
00:49:52Hey, we have a pretty sticky situation to deal with.
00:49:55What happened?
00:49:57Don't worry about it. I'll handle it.
00:49:59Just get some rest, okay?
00:50:03I'll let the doctor know you're awake.
00:50:10Good morning, Miss Nora.
00:50:12It's morning?
00:50:14Well, it is for you.
00:50:15You've slept three long days.
00:50:17Whoa.
00:50:19All right, Doc.
00:50:21Give it to me straight.
00:50:23How long do I have to live?
00:50:25Oh, come on. You're gonna be absolutely fine.
00:50:28The hit in the head just caused the concussion.
00:50:30You'll probably be able to go home tomorrow.
00:50:33But we did take some tests.
00:50:35Did you know you were infertile?
00:50:42I'm sorry. What did you say?
00:50:43The accident you had five years ago left you barren, I'm sorry to say.
00:50:48I didn't know if they told you or not.
00:50:50The accident.
00:50:52Didn't I lose the child?
00:50:55Lose? No, Miss. You gave birth to the child.
00:50:58I'm referring to the suicide attempt that followed it.
00:51:14But...
00:51:17My best friend told me that I lost the child.
00:51:20Why would she lie to me about something like that?
00:51:22It's common to suppress these kinds of memories.
00:51:25But don't be alarmed if they come back.
00:51:28They've been starting to come back to me, though.
00:51:30Out of the blue, too. Do you know why?
00:51:33Well, when you have a traumatic experience in the past,
00:51:36memories can start to resurface once you start feeling true happiness again.
00:51:40When we block our memories, we block emotions, too.
00:51:44And when you let down the emotional shield,
00:51:47those memories just start flowing back.
00:51:50Here. Don't you worry yourself about that.
00:51:53Get some sleep. I'll check on you later.
00:52:04Hey! Easy, Griff!
00:52:06Get away from me! You lied to me, too!
00:52:08What are you talking about?
00:52:10My baby! You said I lost her, but I gave birth to her!
00:52:13Where is she? Do you have her?
00:52:16Nora, stop! I don't have your baby!
00:52:19You asked me to find a couple to adopt her. I helped you out!
00:52:22I contacted an adoption agency, but...
00:52:25it was too late to find a suitable couple.
00:52:28She ended up in the system.
00:52:31Why are you just now telling me this?
00:52:34You tried to kill yourself.
00:52:36It's why you're forgetting all of these things.
00:52:38I didn't want a repeat of that. I just wanted you to be okay.
00:52:43I have to know where my daughter is. Will you help me?
00:52:50How may I help you?
00:52:52Where's May?
00:52:54I'm sorry. She doesn't work here anymore.
00:52:56Should we go to her house?
00:52:58I don't think you guys will find luck there, either.
00:53:00Because she moved.
00:53:02What? Where?
00:53:04Didn't say. She's just saying that LA was too much for her.
00:53:06Do you think we could get security footage?
00:53:08Probably Ted can.
00:53:10Security's easy to bribe when you have money.
00:53:23Now, you should probably leave town until all of this wraps up.
00:53:28I don't know how I feel about this.
00:53:30Nora was my friend in college.
00:53:32Oh.
00:53:33It's too late to start feeling like her friend.
00:53:38Five years too late.
00:53:46You tracked him down yet?
00:53:48No, boss. I'm doing what I can.
00:53:50But this guy ditched his car.
00:53:52He's not at his home address.
00:53:54And I went there four times and he wasn't there.
00:53:56Who is this guy?
00:53:58It's a long story. I'll deal with it.
00:54:00You get to Morris and get that flash drive.
00:54:01If you can't get it, just do whatever it takes.
00:54:03I'll tie him up if you have to.
00:54:05He can't release that footage.
00:54:07Okay. I'm on it.
00:54:17Hey, Hannah. What's up?
00:54:19Ted! Ted! Oh my God! Someone just took Nora!
00:54:28Hello?
00:54:30Hello?
00:54:35Who the hell are you?
00:54:37I'm probably wrong, but it looked like the guy she was supposed to marry instead of you.
00:54:41The fringe guy?
00:54:45Ted.
00:54:50Yes! What does he want with her?
00:54:53I don't know, but I'll find out.
00:54:55Do you not recognize the man that you promised to marry?
00:55:00Of course not. I wasn't good enough, was I?
00:55:05You took off with a billionaire even though you said you didn't care for money.
00:55:10Liar!
00:55:13What do you want from me?
00:55:15I just want you to say you're sorry.
00:55:17You ditched me without a single message.
00:55:20I was ready to give you my life!
00:55:22Okay, you're right. I am so sorry. I really shouldn't have done that.
00:55:26It's okay.
00:55:30I'm alright now.
00:55:32Really?
00:55:36Wait, aren't you going to let me go?
00:55:38No, no, no. You know what? This isn't about me today. I'm just the servant to the highest bidder.
00:55:46Hannah, any leads on Nora?
00:55:49I was looking through some of Nora's old designs and then I looked at Lynn's latest line. Tell me they're different.
00:55:55Holy shit, they're the exact same.
00:55:58So you're telling me that Lynn is ripping off Nora?
00:56:01All of Lynn's designs are based on Nora's old designs from college.
00:56:05That's fucked up.
00:56:07But that's still not enough reason to kidnap someone.
00:56:11She's also in love with you.
00:56:13Really?
00:56:15We have no time for your denial.
00:56:17Wait, where are we going?
00:56:19To find the security footage from when Nora was ran over outside the hotel.
00:56:22But I thought we already found out that Thaddeus was the driver.
00:56:25Yes, but who was with him in the car?
00:56:31Right there.
00:56:34Oh my god. I thought Lynn was crazy, but holy shit, this is another level.
00:56:40How are we going to find Nora now? She could be anywhere.
00:56:47Her phone.
00:56:49Help! I've been kidnapped!
00:56:51Oh yeah, that's why we're being like a little girl.
00:56:54Oh yeah? Another ten grand.
00:56:57You've got yourself a deal.
00:57:01Guess what? I've been offered a hefty amount of money just to do one more thing.
00:57:10It's moving. That means she's driving. Come on, let's catch up with her.
00:57:14Okay.
00:57:21No!
00:57:26No!
00:57:31We're almost there.
00:57:33We're going to find out what happened to Nora five years ago once and for all.
00:57:36Wait, you stole the flash drive?
00:57:38I don't know if I want to see this.
00:57:40Why not?
00:57:42Well, Morris blackmailed me with a tape. It's a sex tape from that night.
00:57:46So you know who Nora was with that night?
00:57:52Come on, Patty. Entertain me.
00:57:57She stole my man and tried to go after my job.
00:58:08Ted, you came!
00:58:17Are you okay?
00:58:18Yeah, but Ted, I remembered them. We...
00:58:22No, I know. I know everything.
00:58:48I knew we had a connection since before we met.
00:59:11Yeah, but Ted, I still don't know why I gave up our baby.
00:59:14Well, let's go find her. We'll have a family.
00:59:19Tell me what happened.
00:59:23I don't know the whole story.
00:59:25I copied Nora's design and I gave it to Lynn so she could become the head designer
00:59:29and get my father's company a better deal on the table.
00:59:32You make me sick.
00:59:34She fucking cheated on me with Ted and I'm the bad guy here?
00:59:37She was obviously spiked. Don't pretend like you don't know anything about it.
00:59:40I don't actually, but thank God that happened.
00:59:44Sorry, what did you say?
00:59:46She was pregnant.
00:59:48I was only 22. I had my whole life in front of me.
00:59:51This way she thought it was his.
00:59:53The mystery man from the one-night stand.
00:59:55The guy she can't remember.
00:59:57Wait, so she was pregnant before that night?
00:59:59What are you saying, Morris?
01:00:01Spit it out, Morris.
01:00:03You told me you were pregnant before you left that weekend.
01:00:06And then you let me believe the baby wasn't yours, right?
01:00:09Even after everything else I went through after that.
01:00:13It was the best thing.
01:00:15You agreed to give the baby away because you don't want to raise him
01:00:16without even knowing who the father was.
01:00:18You were quite aware of what a slut you'd been.
01:00:21No.
01:00:23You're a monster.
01:00:25I gave up my child for you.
01:00:27I almost killed myself because of all of the guilt and shame that I felt.
01:00:32And for what?
01:00:34So that Lynn could fuck Ted and get some big promotion?
01:00:36My God, you are so fucking twisted.
01:00:38Hey. Hey.
01:00:40It's okay. Look at me.
01:00:43It's okay.
01:00:44I don't care that the kid isn't mine.
01:00:47Let's find her.
01:00:49We'll raise her together, okay?
01:00:51Ted, why are you so willing to give up everything for me?
01:00:54I don't understand.
01:00:57Remember what I told you the first day we met?
01:01:01It's so crazy, it just might make sense.
01:01:11Hi, Mom.
01:01:12Hi, Mom.
01:01:14I want you to meet my husband.
01:01:16For real, this time.
01:01:25Are you sure you want to do this with me?
01:01:27You know I can't give you your own child.
01:01:30I'm sure.
01:01:32I love Bella like she's my own.
01:01:35Is that my granny?
01:01:37Yeah, it is.
01:01:39She's looking down on you right now.
01:01:40She's so proud of you.
01:01:42You make all of her dreams come true.
01:01:49Thank you so much for bringing her home.
01:01:52Of course.
01:01:54Five years in the system.
01:01:57So much that I've missed.
01:01:59She's here now.
01:02:01She's home.
01:02:03That's all that matters.
01:02:07Oh, and look.
01:02:08She's taking on her mother's fashion sense as well.
