00:00:00Is there anything worse than marrying a stranger?
00:00:02Finally, is this the guy?
00:00:04It's probably never seeing my husband's face
00:00:07and remaining strangers after the marriage.
00:00:09Congratulations, I guess, Mrs.
00:00:11No, please don't.
00:00:12I don't want to know his last name.
00:00:14I came back to divorce him.
00:00:16Who's that?
00:00:18That's your new boss.
00:00:20I'm Kate.
00:00:21Kate Abrams?
00:00:22That's my wife's name.
00:00:24Your fake husband doesn't want you.
00:00:26You have nothing without me.
00:00:28If you so much put another finger on her again,
00:00:30I'll have you arrested.
00:00:32No one is going to hurt you.
00:00:34God, he's really handsome.
00:00:38He's also really married, Kate.
00:00:41I think my wife and I are going to give it another go.
00:00:45I need to end whatever this is between us.
00:00:47I need to end whatever this is between us.
00:01:05Hey!
00:01:06You think you can run away from me, you skank?
00:01:08Chad, you stay away from me.
00:01:09Hey, I'm the only one you'll marry.
00:01:12You're mine.
00:01:12Disgusting, you're my brother.
00:01:14I'm not marrying you.
00:01:15So you'll marry a fucking stranger for money
00:01:17and be his whore?
00:01:18I'm marrying a stranger to get as far away from you
00:01:20and this sick family as possible.
00:01:31Girl who knows how to throw a mean punch.
00:01:33Nice.
00:01:37Where is he?
00:01:39Please, please, please don't bail on me.
00:01:41So is he coming or what?
00:01:43I don't have all day.
00:01:44There's a line.
00:01:45Please, excuse us for a moment.
00:01:48Kate, you don't have to do this.
00:01:50You don't have to marry a stranger.
00:01:52There can't be another way.
00:01:54I really need this money for school.
00:01:55It's the only way.
00:01:57Yes, but you're crying.
00:01:58I'm fine.
00:01:59It's just my contact.
00:02:01Oh, shit.
00:02:02My contacts.
00:02:04I can't see.
00:02:06Finally, is this the guy?
00:02:08Yeah.
00:02:10Finally, is this the guy?
00:02:13Yeah.
00:02:14I'm in a hurry.
00:02:14I have a plane to catch.
00:02:16Is that him here?
00:02:17He's leaving the country.
00:02:20Maybe it's for the best.
00:02:22Congratulations, I guess, Mrs.
00:02:24No, please don't.
00:02:25I don't want to know his last name.
00:02:27I don't want to know his last name.
00:02:29I don't want to know his last name.
00:02:31I don't want to know his last name.
00:02:32I don't want to know his last name.
00:02:34I don't want to know his last name.
00:02:41Janie.
00:02:43Kate.
00:02:45Welcome to your first day as a junior designer.
00:02:47Thank you so much for getting me this job, Janie.
00:02:50Shut up.
00:02:51You were the best designer in our class.
00:02:52Our family is so lucky to have you on board.
00:03:04Who's that?
00:03:05That's my brother.
00:03:06And your new boss.
00:03:11You can stare.
00:03:13Oh.
00:03:14All of my friends have a crush on Jack.
00:03:16Well, his real name's John Michael Townsend,
00:03:18but everyone just calls him Jack for short.
00:03:19Never really understood why, but it's cute.
00:03:22John.
00:03:22Hm.
00:03:23That's my husband's name.
00:03:25Janie, he's my brother.
00:03:26I'm his wife.
00:03:27I'm his wife.
00:03:28I'm his wife.
00:03:29I'm his wife.
00:03:30I'm his wife.
00:03:30I'm his wife.
00:03:31I'm his wife.
00:03:32I'm his wife.
00:03:33Janie, he's my boss.
00:03:35He's single.
00:03:37Although you never really know with Jack.
00:03:38He's so mysterious.
00:03:40Secretive.
00:03:42No, you can't, because you're married.
00:03:45Unfortunately.
00:03:47You know, it is kind of cute that your grandma
00:03:49set you up with her friend's grandkid,
00:03:51even if it's weird.
00:03:52Yeah, while I do appreciate my grandma's attentions,
00:03:54it is very weird being married to a stranger.
00:03:58And I know you don't know what he looks like,
00:03:59but he could be, like, so hot.
00:04:02Or he could be, like, a complete uggo.
00:04:05You know, Janie, it really doesn't matter
00:04:06what he looks like, okay?
00:04:07I haven't heard from the guy in, like, two years.
00:04:11Which is part of the reason why I came back.
00:04:13Oh my God, wait, you're gonna meet him?
00:04:15No, I came back to divorce him.
00:04:20I'm back.
00:04:21Please tell her I want to discuss our marriage.
00:04:22Help me set up a time to meet.
00:04:24No, I came back to divorce him.
00:04:28Oh.
00:04:29Well, once you divorce your invisible husband,
00:04:32you can date my brother.
00:04:34You'd be such a cute couple.
00:04:35Janie, you are ridiculous, okay?
00:04:38I gotta go.
00:04:39I don't want to be late for my first date.
00:04:42You're fired.
00:04:49Now I know both of you were
00:04:51pirate as junior accessory designers.
00:04:54But we need someone to hop on Mr. Townsend's desk
00:04:56until we can fill the position.
00:04:58I'll hop on whatever he wants.
00:05:03Mr. Townsend can be a bit particular,
00:05:05so I would refrain from any innuendo
00:05:08or speaking in general.
00:05:10Now, if you'd both grab your portfolios,
00:05:12please follow me.
00:05:21Oh my God, I am so clumsy.
00:05:25That is my entire portfolio.
00:05:27Well, looks like you don't have anything to show.
00:05:30Judging by your outfit,
00:05:32we won't be missing out on anything.
00:05:40Sir, these are the new junior designers.
00:05:44One of these ladies will cover your desk.
00:05:49I'm Haley, Mr. Townsend,
00:05:51and I'm at your service.
00:05:53Whatever you want, whenever you want it.
00:05:57And you are?
00:05:59Me?
00:06:01I'm Kate.
00:06:03Kate Abrams.
00:06:05Kate.
00:06:07Yes.
00:06:08That's my wife's name.
00:06:13That's my wife's name.
00:06:14Thought Janie said her brother was single.
00:06:16Shit, he's married?
00:06:19Is there anything I should know
00:06:19about your work before I begin?
00:06:25Nope.
00:06:27No, Jack.
00:06:28Can I call you Jack?
00:06:30You cannot.
00:06:31I'm your boss.
00:06:35This is good.
00:06:36Haley.
00:06:37Thank you, sir.
00:06:39My designs are actually inspired by-
00:06:41I wasn't complimenting you.
00:06:43Can you even tell me how to grade an emerald?
00:06:46Tell me.
00:06:47Emeralds are graded based on their color.
00:06:50So the greener the emerald,
00:06:52then the higher the grade.
00:06:54Wrong answer.
00:06:56How about you, Ms. Abrams?
00:06:58Sir, emeralds are graded based
00:07:00on the same criteria as diamonds.
00:07:02So, you know, the four C's.
00:07:05Cut, color, clarity, and carrot.
00:07:08The one exception being the transparency of the green hue.
00:07:12The more transparent, the higher quality emerald.
00:07:16Good.
00:07:18That's the correct answer.
00:07:22A word of advice.
00:07:24See that door?
00:07:26It's glass.
00:07:27I saw the little stunt you pulled out there.
00:07:29Did I see correct, Kate?
00:07:32Yes, sir.
00:07:33Haley, we believe in honesty at this company.
00:07:36So that's why Kate is going to be sitting at my desk.
00:07:39You can go.
00:07:40I won't be needing your services.
00:07:42You're lucky I let myself to find one person a day.
00:07:46Ms. Abrams gets situated at your desk.
00:07:48We have more to discuss.
00:07:55You'll get yours, bitch.
00:08:02You came home and didn't visit me?
00:08:04You slut.
00:08:06How did he find me so fast?
00:08:10Ms. Abrams, can you join me in my office?
00:08:12There's something personal I'd like to discuss with you.
00:08:21My sister told me you were a good designer.
00:08:23She wasn't wrong.
00:08:26Since you have excellent taste,
00:08:27I need your help setting up a dinner.
00:08:29Of course.
00:08:30Who's it for?
00:08:31Your wife?
00:08:33Yeah.
00:08:34My wife.
00:08:35Are you married, Ms. Abrams?
00:08:38It's too crazy to begin to explain.
00:08:40Just say yes and change the subject.
00:08:43Yes, I am.
00:08:46Janie never mentioned that you were married.
00:08:49The big mouth sister doesn't know.
00:08:51Shit.
00:08:52I shouldn't have said that.
00:08:54I'm very private with my personal life.
00:08:56I'd appreciate the utmost discretion with my sister
00:08:59and with anything you see while you're at my desk.
00:09:01Of course.
00:09:02Help me make a reservation for two people Wednesday night.
00:09:05Somewhere quiet, high-end.
00:09:07You've got it.
00:09:09There's something else.
00:09:14This.
00:09:15I was very impressed with your sketches.
00:09:17I was wondering if you could design a ring
00:09:18to have this set it.
00:09:20I never got Katie a ring.
00:09:22I owe this to her at the very least.
00:09:24I would love to.
00:09:25What's your size?
00:09:28Just make it your size.
00:09:43I asked you not to call me at work.
00:09:47Miss Smith?
00:09:48Yes, my client would like to meet you
00:09:50for dinner on Wednesday
00:09:51to discuss the contract of your marriage.
00:09:54He ghosts me for two years
00:09:56and now he wants to have dinner?
00:09:58Can't we just sign and be done with it?
00:09:59Not if you want all your hair in it.
00:10:02He wants to discuss extending the contract
00:10:04of your marriage agreement.
00:10:05We agreed to two years.
00:10:07Well, he'd still like to meet.
00:10:09I'll text you the address and his home number
00:10:10to coordinate, so please give him a call
00:10:12at your earliest convenience.
00:10:22The jeweler came back with the ring.
00:10:24I think it looks really great.
00:10:29Wow.
00:10:31Can you try it on for me?
00:10:33Here, let me.
00:10:46It's gorgeous.
00:10:48Do you think she'll like it?
00:10:51I mean, she'd be an idiot not to.
00:10:55Because it's expensive?
00:10:56No, because it's from you.
00:10:59If I was given something this thoughtful,
00:11:02it wouldn't matter.
00:11:03I hope you're right.
00:11:07There's a designer coming in from Paris tonight
00:11:09that I'm meeting later for dinner.
00:11:11Quinn Clayette.
00:11:13Quinn Clayette is going to be doing a collection with us?
00:11:18He's bigger than Balenciaga.
00:11:20So I've heard.
00:11:21Anyway, I need you to make sure he gets his proofs
00:11:24for his collection shoot for approval before we meet.
00:11:28So I need you to give him this envelope at his hotel.
00:11:38Hate it.
00:11:40No.
00:11:42No.
00:11:44She's okay.
00:11:47You know, I should have you model for me instead.
00:11:51You're hotter than these girls.
00:11:54Thanks.
00:11:55If you want to come upstairs, we can do it right now.
00:11:59Do what?
00:12:01Get your mind out of the gutter, girl.
00:12:03I meant we could take some photos.
00:12:05Clothes optional, of course.
00:12:07Have another drink.
00:12:09Mr. Clayette, Mr. Townsend just wanted to make sure
00:12:13you were happy with the photos.
00:12:14I'm happy.
00:12:16Let's drink.
00:12:17This is a 1982 Chateau Rothschild.
00:12:23Thousands of dollars glass.
00:12:27You want to work in fashion, I'll show you around.
00:12:32But first,
00:12:35come upstairs.
00:12:38Mr. Clayette, I'm married.
00:12:41Technically, it's not a lie.
00:12:43Then where's your engagement ring?
00:12:45I don't see a wedding band.
00:12:48I don't have one.
00:12:49I prefer to wear my grandmother's ring.
00:12:51A man who doesn't get you a ring isn't a real husband.
00:12:55How much?
00:12:56Excuse me?
00:12:58Everyone has their price.
00:13:02How much for you to come upstairs and have some fun?
00:13:09Not for sale.
00:13:13You bitch, I'm bleeding.
00:13:16I can have Jack fire you with just one phone call.
00:13:20You don't have to call me.
00:13:25You don't have to call me.
00:13:27Get away from her.
00:13:28She came on to me.
00:13:30She said she wanted to climb the ranks,
00:13:32if you know what I mean.
00:13:33He's lying.
00:13:33Shut up and let her talk.
00:13:35It was highly unprofessional.
00:13:38Is that the kind of image you want for your brand?
00:13:40A slutty clout, chaser,
00:13:43fucking her way through your connections?
00:13:44Shut your lying mouth.
00:13:46Don't ever talk to one of my employees like that again.
00:13:49You're going to choose your receptionist over me.
00:13:52Did you see my collection in Milan?
00:13:54Yeah, I did.
00:13:56It sucked.
00:13:57Like your cheap ass brand,
00:13:59the only people who buy your clothes are fatties
00:14:01and middle-aged virgins.
00:14:05I heard you like fine wine, Quinn.
00:14:07Yeah.
00:14:08Care for a glass?
00:14:14Fuck.
00:14:25I'll add this to your bill.
00:14:28Our collaboration's off.
00:14:39Thanks for that, by the way.
00:14:43I know Quinn would have been huge for the brand.
00:14:46My grandmother built this coming from nothing.
00:14:49She was unconventional, but she had one rule.
00:14:52What's that?
00:14:53Don't work with assholes.
00:14:56I wouldn't want a man like that
00:14:57associated with my brand or my name.
00:15:01I say this with only respect, sir,
00:15:04but from what everyone told me about you,
00:15:08I expected you to be more...
00:15:10More of an asshole.
00:15:13No.
00:15:16Closed off, I guess.
00:15:19I am with most people.
00:15:23Oh.
00:15:24You should be wearing this.
00:15:32God, he's really handsome.
00:15:36He's also really married, Kate.
00:15:43Do you need to contact your husband?
00:15:44Let him know you're running late?
00:15:46I should do that.
00:15:47He might be worried.
00:15:49Shit.
00:15:50I don't want to call him.
00:16:06Ah, crap.
00:16:08My phone died.
00:16:09Do you want to charge it?
00:16:10No, no.
00:16:12It's fine.
00:16:13I'm not far from home.
00:16:14He'll be fine.
00:16:18This is me.
00:16:22Thanks again.
00:16:24Good night, Mr. Townsend.
00:16:26Night, Kate.
00:16:37I kind of have a crush on my married boss.
00:16:41Oh, shit.
00:16:43I'm a mess.
00:16:45I don't even care about the money, you know?
00:16:46I'm gonna take care of this fake marriage thing
00:16:49and end it right now.
00:16:53Fuck.
00:16:55What do you say to your secret husband?
00:16:56Hi, nice to meet you.
00:16:58Let's divorce?
00:17:05Hello?
00:17:12Who the hell is calling my brother this late at night?
00:17:16Hello?
00:17:17I'm getting rid of her so he can date Kate.
00:17:22I'm looking for John.
00:17:23This is John's phone.
00:17:25I'm his girlfriend, you bitch.
00:17:26Don't call here again, you skank-ass hoe.
00:17:32I guess that's why I haven't heard from him in two years.
00:17:35Why the hell do you want to stay married to me
00:17:37if you have a girlfriend?
00:17:42My landline just rang.
00:17:43Got a notification on my phone, but it got disconnected.
00:17:46Oh, yeah, it was just a spam call.
00:17:47Anyway, I was thinking of setting you up with someone.
00:17:50Janie, I don't want that.
00:17:52Okay, well, that wasn't a no,
00:17:54so I'm gonna take that as a yes.
00:17:59Since you already have a girlfriend,
00:18:03why don't we just get divorced?
00:18:06Oops.
00:18:12John Michael Townsend.
00:18:13Who the hell is wife?
00:18:17John Michael Townsend.
00:18:18Who the hell is wife?
00:18:20It's a long story.
00:18:21A long story?
00:18:22What, did you marry some rando abroad?
00:18:24Did you answer my phone?
00:18:25Did you marry some rando?
00:18:26Did you answer my phone?
00:18:27Maybe.
00:18:28Janie, you made it worse.
00:18:29Listen, if you go marry some rando,
00:18:31it cuts into my inheritance.
00:18:32I'm not gonna discuss this with you right now.
00:18:34It's a crazy ex, a joke.
00:18:37I'm dealing with it.
00:18:38Now I'm done discussing it, go.
00:18:40Fine, but only because I want to.
00:18:43You're so shady.
00:18:45Oh.
00:18:57Probably my husband's mistress calling to bitch me out.
00:19:08Katie, I'm sorry.
00:19:10Meet me for dinner when you're done.
00:19:12I'm sorry. Meet me for dinner Wednesday, I'll explain.
00:19:18Katie, I'm sorry. Meet me for dinner Wednesday, I'll explain.
00:19:23Maybe. Bring the papers.
00:19:26Also, don't call me Katie.
00:19:33I'm not going to be handled by that board. That's final.
00:19:37Kill the fucking store deals!
00:19:43Gene said you wanted to see me?
00:19:46Yes. Starting next week, we're going to have someone else sit at my desk.
00:19:50Oh. Is everything okay?
00:19:53Thing is fine. You'll have to deal with me until Monday, then you can go back to designing.
00:19:57Okay. Well, your reservation is all set for 7 tonight at Room 1 in the Hudson Hotel.
00:20:03Great. Thank you, Ms. Abrams.
00:20:05I hope Mrs. Townsend likes the ring.
00:20:08We'll see if she even accepts it.
00:20:13I wonder if they got into a fight because he came home so late last night.
00:20:17It's too complicated. It's better I walk his desk.
00:20:22145 Hudson Street. 7 p.m.?
00:20:30Can I help you, sir?
00:20:33I have a woman meeting me here. Can you see her to the table when she gets here?
00:20:36Her name's Lisa.
00:20:38I have a woman meeting me here. Can you see her to the table when she gets here?
00:20:41Her name's Sarah.
00:20:43She doesn't want to be called Katie. Kate.
00:20:48And you are?
00:20:49I'm Kate. Kate Abrams.
00:20:55If only she was the one I was waiting for.
00:20:59Why am I so nervous?
00:21:01I'm just going to go in there and end it.
00:21:04Eat your heart out, big husband.
00:21:13Shit.
00:21:15This is where Mr. Townsend is meeting his wife. I...
00:21:19Shit.
00:21:21This is where Mr. Townsend is meeting his wife. I...
00:21:29I think I'm getting stood up.
00:21:31After two years, I guess I deserve it.
00:21:39Forget it.
00:21:41Forget it.
00:21:47It's a big restaurant. You're not going to see Mr. Townsend. Just be discreet.
00:21:52Can I help you? I'm supposed to be meeting someone here.
00:21:56You? Are you sure?
00:21:59What name is the reservation under?
00:22:01John.
00:22:03Don't have a John.
00:22:07Don't have a John.
00:22:09Is there a last name?
00:22:11I don't know his last name.
00:22:13You're at the most expensive restaurant in New York.
00:22:16It takes years to get a reservation here.
00:22:19And you don't know the name of the man who's taking you here?
00:22:22He knows me as Katie Smith, not Kate Abrams.
00:22:26It can be Smith or Katie Smith.
00:22:30Seriously, come up with a better lie than that.
00:22:34Do you know what this mystery man looks like?
00:22:36Not really.
00:22:38You're going to need to go.
00:22:40Excuse me?
00:22:41We don't let working girls in a restaurant.
00:22:44So you and your John are going to have to find someplace else for your pre-screw dinner.
00:22:49I'm not a prostitute.
00:22:51Please don't use that language here.
00:22:53I swear I have a reservation. Just let me...
00:22:56Security. Security.
00:22:59Why the hell are you speaking to my wife that way?
00:23:02Mr. Townsend, your wife?
00:23:05Sweetheart, I'm sorry I gave you the wrong information for the reservation.
00:23:09Give me one moment while I deal with this woman.
00:23:13Is there a problem, Mr. Townsend?
00:23:15This woman had the audacity to call my date a whore.
00:23:18I didn't know...
00:23:20What kind of establishment are you running?
00:23:22I want her gone, immediately.
00:23:24I don't want to see her again.
00:23:26I don't want to see her again.
00:23:28I don't want to see her again.
00:23:30I don't want to see her again.
00:23:32I want her gone, immediately.
00:23:34Sir, please. I was confused.
00:23:37I didn't know she was your wife. She looked like a...
00:23:40A what? Were you going to call my wife a whore again?
00:23:43Not at all. I'm sorry, Mrs. Townsend.
00:23:46I want her gone. Now.
00:23:51I want her gone. Now.
00:23:55Yes, sir. I'm so sorry, Mr. Townsend.
00:23:58Your meal is complimentary.
00:24:00If you have a seat at your table, I'll take care of this.
00:24:20Thanks for that.
00:24:22Where's your wife?
00:24:24She stood me up.
00:24:26Oh. I'm so sorry.
00:24:28It's fine. We'll talk when she's ready.
00:24:31What did you do that was so awful?
00:24:33I don't know. Marry her, I guess.
00:24:38Oh, my God. I'm so rude.
00:24:40You're waiting for your husband.
00:24:42I hope you two have a great night. Enjoy dinner on me.
00:24:46Actually, it looks like he was stuck at work and isn't going to make it, so...
00:24:52Well, shouldn't let a five-star dinner go to waste.
00:24:56Will you join me?
00:25:00Will you join me?
00:25:02I couldn't. I wouldn't want to impose.
00:25:05The chef already started my tasting, and you'd be doing me a favor.
00:25:09That's if it's all right with your husband.
00:25:16That was one of the most amazing meals I've ever had in my whole life.
00:25:20You're going to have to roll me out of here. Thank you.
00:25:24Thank yourself. You picked it all.
00:25:27Sending flowers in advance was a nice touch, too.
00:25:30If you weren't an amazing designer, I'd hire you as my event planner.
00:25:34It was perfect. Really. Thank you.
00:25:37More wine, sir?
00:25:38Yes. Thank you.
00:25:44And for you, Mrs. Thomson?
00:25:46Oh, I'm actually not...
00:25:50Another glass, sweetheart?
00:25:53Um...
00:25:55Yeah.
00:25:57Okay.
00:26:03I think we have to keep the act up.
00:26:12That's more than generous. Split it with your whole team. Thank you.
00:26:17That was like $3,000. That's more than I make in a week.
00:26:22Remind me to pay you more, then.
00:26:28She still hasn't gotten back to you yet?
00:26:31Nothing.
00:26:33She's really pissed, isn't she?
00:26:36Let's say you were in her situation.
00:26:38Say I'm your husband, and I really fucked up, but I want to make things right.
00:26:44What would you want me to do?
00:26:46I'd want you to show me I mattered.
00:26:49How?
00:26:50You should just go to her and give her no excuse but to see you.
00:26:56Look, I don't know what's going on between you two, but it seems like you're really trying.
00:27:01And that's what I'd want. A man who unapologetically wants to be with me.
00:27:06Any guy would be lucky to be with you, Kate. Thanks for the advice.
00:27:11You're welcome.
00:27:12Take the car. I'll send Tristan back after he drops you.
00:27:16Really? Thanks.
00:27:20Good night.
00:27:22Good night, Kate.
00:27:36I saw you with him. Nice dress.
00:27:43Katie! I heard you've been in town a while. What took so long?
00:27:48I need you to tell him to stay the fuck away from me.
00:27:52I need you to tell him to stay the fuck away from me.
00:27:55You know, maybe we can help each other out. Meet at my office?
00:27:59Fine. Just make sure Evelyn's not there.
00:28:09I'm here. Now what?
00:28:12Is that a good way to talk to your father after two years?
00:28:14You stop being my father the day you let that bitch kick me out and adopted that monster.
00:28:19Which, by the way, could you ask Chad to leave me alone?
00:28:22Your brother, he's just... he's concerned because you married a complete stranger.
00:28:28He is not my brother. And I married a stranger because your wife and sicko son spent all of my mother's money.
00:28:35Katie, I heard you changed your name. Kate Abrams? It sounds like a shitty real estate agent.
00:28:44I changed my name to get away from you.
00:28:49So why didn't you just take your husband's name? Are you not still together?
00:28:54My personal life is really none of your business. What do you want?
00:28:59It's about your husband.
00:29:05It's about your husband. The company's in trouble and we need a bit of a loan.
00:29:12I already gave you part of my inheritance from my grandmother.
00:29:14He needs one million dollars or we're gonna go under.
00:29:17I know you're getting the remainder on the two-year anniversary plus more if you stay in the marriage longer, so...
00:29:23I'm not doing that.
00:29:25Katie, we both need the money. Reconsider.
00:29:31How convenient you reach out now. I married a stranger to get the fuck away from this family.
00:29:38What makes you think I'd help you now?
00:29:41If you don't want to lose the inheritance or stay in the marriage, fine, but just ask your husband. I hear he's rich.
00:29:49And if you do, I'll tell Chad to leave you alone.
00:29:53You let me sell myself and now you're willing to risk your daughter's safety for money?
00:30:02You're so melodramatic, Katie. What's this bitch doing here?
00:30:09What's this bitch doing here?
00:30:11You said she wasn't going to be here.
00:30:13Is that any way to greet your mommy?
00:30:16You are nothing like my mother.
00:30:19Oh, no, I'm not. Your mother was a pushover and she's dead.
00:30:25Fuck you!
00:30:28You ungrateful bitch.
00:30:31Your father is asking for one small favor. You give us your own money or get it from your rich husband.
00:30:37My marriage is none of your business. Keep your psycho son away from me.
00:30:43You threw yourself at my sweet boy. How disgusting. Your own brother.
00:30:49I have nothing to do with that sick bastard.
00:30:53If you don't start leaving me alone, I'm going to call the police.
00:30:56Oh, you're going to call the police on a dying man?
00:31:00What are you talking about?
00:31:03Oh, you're going to call the police on a dying man?
00:31:06What are you talking about?
00:31:08Oh, well, you would have known your father was dying if you'd been around for the last two years.
00:31:16Is this true?
00:31:18Yes.
00:31:19You want to leave him penniless on the street?
00:31:22You want to move on in your life? You want to get rid of this family?
00:31:25You give us that one million dollars so he can live his last years out in peace.
00:31:29Dad, are you going to let her threaten me like this?
00:31:33It's for the company and your mother's legacy.
00:31:40Please. I don't have very long.
00:31:47I'll think about it.
00:31:50I'll think about it.
00:31:53But in the meantime, tell Chad to stay the fuck away from me.
00:32:05I'd like to rediscuss the terms of our divorce in person.
00:32:09I'll stay married to you until our anniversary, but I need something in return.
00:32:15Miss Abrams, can you send four dozen roses to this address?
00:32:20Of course.
00:32:24Hmm, weird. That's the building I used to live at.
00:32:28Maybe they're separated and his wife is staying there?
00:32:45Do you know what unit Kate is in?
00:32:47308, sir.
00:32:50Say I'm your husband and I really fucked up, but I want to make things right.
00:32:55What would you want me to do?
00:32:58I'd want you to show me I mattered.
00:33:00How?
00:33:01You should just go to her and give her no excuse not to see you.
00:33:06And that's what I'd want.
00:33:08A man who unapologetically wants to be with me.
00:33:12Here goes. No apologies.
00:33:14I'm getting my wife back in one million dollars.
00:33:23Kate?
00:33:29Kate?
00:33:31Yes?
00:33:32It's Jack. Jack Townsend.
00:33:35O-okay.
00:33:38Babe.
00:33:40Who is this?
00:33:41Who are you?
00:33:42I'm her boyfriend, bro.
00:33:50She has a fucking boyfriend? No wonder she doesn't want to stay married. She's cheating.
00:33:55I married her as a favor to my grandmother and she couldn't even look at me.
00:34:00Get me a divorce at once.
00:34:02She was never abroad. She's been openly cheating on me with some guy.
00:34:05She just called. She's asking to stay married till the anniversary.
00:34:09And half of what you received in the inheritance agreement, sir.
00:34:12What? That's one million dollars of my money.
00:34:15Give her nothing and make her pay.
00:34:35Are you okay, sir?
00:34:36I'd appreciate it if you never mentioned this again. Why are you here?
00:34:42I used to live in this neighborhood and there's this bakery nearby.
00:34:47Do you want to share a cupcake with me?
00:34:50It looks like you might need it.
00:34:53Sorry about your wife.
00:34:56I wanted to try, but she found someone else.
00:35:00Maybe she'll come around.
00:35:02Maybe.
00:35:07This cupcake is really good. It helps.
00:35:10Right? My grandma used to take me all the time as a kid.
00:35:14You were very close to your grandmother?
00:35:15Yeah. She was my favorite person in the whole world.
00:35:22Yeah, me too.
00:35:28What?
00:35:29You have a little cupcake on your face.
00:35:37I need to go back to work.
00:35:39Yeah, I have meetings. I'll see you at Jenny's birthday thing later?
00:35:43Sure.
00:35:50You could barely look at me, and now you're asking for a divorce and more money?
00:35:54I'm done playing nice, Katie.
00:35:57Barely?
00:35:58Yeah.
00:35:59I mean, it's not like you're going to get a divorce.
00:36:02You're asking for more money? I'm done playing nice, Katie.
00:36:06Barely look at him? What is he talking about?
00:36:12Jackie, why did we never date in college?
00:36:16I think we were better as friends.
00:36:18I think we should change that.
00:36:24I wonder if that's his wife. They must have worked it out.
00:36:29Kate! You made it!
00:36:36So, this is our friend Xander.
00:36:39Hi.
00:36:40And our childhood friend Annabelle.
00:36:42Jack's very close friend.
00:36:44Why do I feel relieved she's not his wife?
00:36:46And of course you know my brother.
00:36:48Welcome. You can sit next to me.
00:36:51Actually, I said do a seat.
00:36:59Cheers.
00:37:00Cheers.
00:37:08No one is empty handed. You two need drinks.
00:37:12Alright, let's play a card game.
00:37:15I love games.
00:37:16The person with the lowest card has to do any dare I want, or they drink.
00:37:23Ugh.
00:37:27Alright, ready? Flip him.
00:37:30Ha! You got the lowest card, Townsend.
00:37:34Alright, I dare you to pick the woman you are most attracted to and kiss her.
00:37:41Janney's obviously off limits.
00:37:42Gross.
00:37:43Obviously he'll pick me.
00:37:46So who's it gonna be?
00:37:50So who's it gonna be?
00:37:52This is inappropriate, Xander.
00:37:54I'm being a little bitch and answer.
00:38:01Kate.
00:38:05But I'm her boss and she's married, so we're not gonna do that.
00:38:08Then drink.
00:38:12I'm sure her husband wouldn't mind.
00:38:15Just a peck on the cheek.
00:38:17Just like a tiny little peck.
00:38:19Are you okay with this?
00:38:21Sure.
00:38:36You see, that wasn't so hard, was it?
00:38:38Alright, let's keep playing.
00:38:40Loser drinks.
00:38:41Alright, let's go.
00:38:42Let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:38:43Okay.
00:38:44On three. One, two, three, flip him.
00:38:48Drink, drink, drink.
00:38:49You gotta drink, man.
00:38:51Let's go.
00:38:52Okay.
00:38:53Alright, another round, another round.
00:38:54One, ready, and flip him.
00:38:58Keep playing until we're blacked out.
00:39:05All of his drinks were filled with aphrodisiacs.
00:39:08Enjoy taking him home.
00:39:16I can take Jack home.
00:39:18You drove the Lambo here, right?
00:39:20Wait, no.
00:39:22We haven't had a chance to catch up yet.
00:39:25Kate can take him.
00:39:29Right, Kate?
00:39:33Yeah, of course, sure.
00:39:35Take your keys?
00:39:36I'm sure your husband won't mind.
00:39:38Alright, come on.
00:39:41Bye, get home safe. Love you.
00:39:46Come back.
00:39:48One more step.
00:39:50I'll be right back.
00:39:55Okay.
00:39:56Try this.
00:39:57It should help.
00:39:59I am so sorry. Oh my god.
00:40:02Here, let me help clean up.
00:40:05It's so sticky.
00:40:18No, um, you are my boss, and drunk, and technically still married.
00:40:23No, just, no, no.
00:40:25I'm sorry.
00:40:28You're sticky, um, so why don't you shower and I'll clean up.
00:40:35It doesn't matter if his marriage is over, Kate.
00:40:37He's technically still married and still your boss.
00:40:40Oh my god, my life is a freaking mess.
00:40:47Call me.
00:40:58Shit. Maybe it's his wife.
00:41:01They did just have a fight.
00:41:04Your phone's blowing up.
00:41:05One peek wouldn't hurt, right?
00:41:08She could be worried.
00:41:13Call me. Wife emergency.
00:41:17Sir, are you decent?
00:41:19I think someone's trying to reach you.
00:41:22Bring it in. I'm decent.
00:41:31Oh my god. Oh my god.
00:41:34Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
00:41:36You said you were decent.
00:41:37I was decent.
00:41:38Um, I'm gonna, I'm gonna call a car.
00:41:41I'm gonna go home.
00:41:43Okay.
00:41:45Um, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:41:48Clothed. At the show.
00:41:53Mr. Townsend, this is Dr. Peck.
00:41:56So, at your request, we did the urinalysis.
00:41:59Were you anywhere you could have been drugged?
00:42:08Dad, I was about to ask for your money.
00:42:10Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm calling.
00:42:12Um, don't ask your husband.
00:42:14What are you talking about?
00:42:16I lied about being sick.
00:42:22I lied about being sick.
00:42:26What?
00:42:27The company does need the money desperately,
00:42:30but it's not because I'm sick.
00:42:33Sorry.
00:42:34You lied to me about being sick
00:42:36so I'd ask my husband for money?
00:42:38Yes.
00:42:39I'm so sorry, Katie.
00:42:41I, I regret ever letting Evelyn into this family
00:42:44and all the hurt that has cost you.
00:42:47I just feel like, like I owe you the truth.
00:42:53Um, don't you still need money for Mom's company?
00:42:56Yeah.
00:42:57Yeah, the company will go under without it.
00:43:00Either that or somebody buys us out.
00:43:03Well, does it matter who buys you out?
00:43:06Uh, no.
00:43:07Then I'll ask.
00:43:10Absolutely not.
00:43:11What if the money's for someone else?
00:43:13It doesn't matter what it's for.
00:43:15You both get the second installment of a million dollars
00:43:17after you've hit two years.
00:43:19More if you stayed married longer,
00:43:21an offer you refused.
00:43:23You know, you're lucky he's not holding you accountable
00:43:25for violating the contract.
00:43:27Violating the contract? He has a girlfriend.
00:43:30My client has been nothing but faithful to you
00:43:32and is requesting one million dollars in damages.
00:43:36Okay, he wants to go through with the divorce
00:43:39and recoup his inheritance
00:43:41and one million dollars in damages
00:43:43from the respondent?
00:43:44From me?
00:43:45What damages?
00:43:46What damages?
00:43:47Emotional distress.
00:43:49Wareware of your activity with other men.
00:43:52With other men?
00:43:53Well, I've never...
00:43:54Discretion was part of the agreement.
00:43:56There were no other men.
00:43:58Oh, my God.
00:43:59Did he see me with Jack?
00:44:01I'm not signing this contract.
00:44:04I'm not signing this.
00:44:06You can tell your client he's not getting a cent from me.
00:44:10I need this money,
00:44:11so I'll be staying married to him as long as it takes
00:44:14until I get what I'm owed.
00:44:15You can tell John.
00:44:17This is what I think of his little agreement.
00:44:21And if he wasn't such a fucking coward,
00:44:23he would have showed up himself
00:44:24instead of sending his little minion in his place.
00:44:29Well, you got what you wanted.
00:44:32She's paying the money?
00:44:34No, she doesn't want a divorce anymore.
00:44:37That's not what I want anymore.
00:44:39I don't want to stay married to this woman.
00:44:41I tried.
00:44:42It's not about the money.
00:44:44It's the principle.
00:44:45She needs to pay the money
00:44:46for violating the agreement
00:44:48and making me look like a fucking idiot.
00:44:50Just get her out of my fucking life.
00:44:54Just get her out of my fucking life.
00:45:06Gene said you wanted to speak to me in private, sir.
00:45:09Shit.
00:45:10He's going to want to talk about last night.
00:45:12I just wanted to apologize for last night.
00:45:15It was an accident.
00:45:17You were drunk.
00:45:18It's no excuse,
00:45:19but my James has a maphrodisia accident as a prank.
00:45:23So he didn't really want to kiss me?
00:45:26You know, I never in a million years
00:45:29would disrespect you like that.
00:45:31Regardless of if you're being married or...
00:45:33Right.
00:45:34In a million years.
00:45:35I totally understand.
00:45:37So I apologize and...
00:45:38Of course.
00:45:40Good.
00:45:41I'll see you at the show.
00:45:46Are you okay, sir?
00:45:50It's personal, Ms. Abrams.
00:45:52Whatever his lawyer was calling about
00:45:54must not have gone well.
00:45:58Kate.
00:45:59Are you still down to introduce
00:46:00our big accessories collection at the buyer's show?
00:46:03We appreciate you pulling double duty.
00:46:05That's huge.
00:46:06Of course.
00:46:09Must be nice,
00:46:10being the CEO's little bitch.
00:46:13All those late night dinners
00:46:14must really be paying off.
00:46:17All those late night dinners
00:46:18must really be paying off.
00:46:20I don't know what you're talking about.
00:46:22It's a little tacky,
00:46:23him parading his new mistress around.
00:46:26Watch your mouth.
00:46:27He must have a golden pussy
00:46:28if you get to announce my new collection.
00:46:30It's the team's collection.
00:46:32It's the team's collection.
00:46:35It's my new collection.
00:46:36It's the team's collection.
00:46:38Haley, is there a problem?
00:46:41Yes.
00:46:42She's been on Townsend's desk for weeks
00:46:44and now suddenly she gets to announce
00:46:46the new collection to the buyers?
00:46:48Seems a little unfair.
00:46:50You know he only chose her
00:46:51because he's fucking...
00:46:52I'm going to stop you right there
00:46:53before you say something you regret.
00:46:55I selected Kate, not Mr. Townsend.
00:46:58Most of the designs in the collection are hers.
00:47:01Now if you have a problem with that,
00:47:03I suggest that you do better work.
00:47:05You'll be in the presentation as a model.
00:47:08You want me to wear her garbage jewelry?
00:47:11Yes.
00:47:12And if you refer to the collection like that again,
00:47:15you're fired.
00:47:18Do you have any other questions?
00:47:20No.
00:47:21Good.
00:47:22Now would the both of you please get back to work?
00:47:25This is a big day for all of us.
00:47:27So I need everyone's heads out of their asses
00:47:29and in the game.
00:47:33Okay.
00:47:39If she's going to be front and center,
00:47:41might as well make a show out of it.
00:47:46My bridal collection is epic,
00:47:48but I've been seeing some of the jewelry
00:47:50that Kate's team has been making
00:47:51to pair with the dresses.
00:47:52They're going to absolutely kill the market.
00:47:55Great.
00:47:56You're being weird.
00:47:59How was your drive home last night?
00:48:01Chaney enough.
00:48:02I have other things on my plate.
00:48:03She's married.
00:48:04She's my employee.
00:48:05Yeah, sort of.
00:48:07What do you mean, sort of?
00:48:18Hey, you look great.
00:48:20Doesn't she look great?
00:48:22Yes.
00:48:23Miss Abrams, you look great.
00:48:26I'm going to go look at my speech.
00:48:39Miss Abrams asked me to give this to you
00:48:42to introduce the jewelry.
00:48:44There's been some changes to the speech.
00:48:49To introduce our new spring accessories line,
00:48:52I would love to introduce the primary designer,
00:48:56Kate Abrams.
00:49:04I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:07I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:10I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:13I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:15I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:17I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:19I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:21I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:23I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:25I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:27I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:29I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:31I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:33I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:35I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:37I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:39I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:41I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:43I'm so excited to share the fun.
00:49:45I'm so excited to share this collection with all of you.
00:49:49By using Gold Vernet,
00:49:51our team was able to create a collection that is
00:49:54accessible, sustainable,
00:49:56and can be passed down for generations.
00:50:00I was given my grandmother's engagement ring.
00:50:03Every time I look at it, I think of her.
00:50:06I know one day I might be given my own engagement ring,
00:50:09but for me,
00:50:11this piece stands the test of time.
00:50:14And that's what I wanted for our collection.
00:50:17To create pieces like
00:50:19what I might pass down to my children one day.
00:50:22And with that,
00:50:25I hope you enjoy the show.
00:50:31I hope you enjoy the show.
00:50:45Applause
00:50:50She's amazing.
00:50:52Ooh la la.
00:50:54You like her.
00:50:55Oh, I knew it.
00:50:56Shut up.
00:50:58Listen, I don't know what's going on
00:51:00with whatever situation ship you're in.
00:51:02Jamie.
00:51:03I'm not gonna ask,
00:51:05but I really think you should get out of it.
00:51:08I'm trying, but there's a lot at stake.
00:51:10Like one million dollars, my pride.
00:51:13Okay, well, is it worth it?
00:51:15Whether it's with Kate.
00:51:17Jamie.
00:51:18Or somebody else.
00:51:20At some point, you're gonna have to start living your life.
00:51:22You are so good.
00:51:25That was great.
00:51:26Really?
00:51:27I kind of winged it.
00:51:28You improvised that whole thing?
00:51:30Yeah, I, um...
00:51:32When I looked at the monitor, it wasn't my speech.
00:51:38When I looked at the monitor, it wasn't my speech.
00:51:41I think someone must have changed it.
00:51:43Excuse me one second.
00:51:49Can you get me surveillance footage of the show?
00:51:52Yes, sir.
00:51:53Good.
00:51:54Have it texted to Miss Abrams.
00:51:59Dan, I need you to meet with my wife.
00:52:01Drop the request for money.
00:52:03We wait till our anniversary,
00:52:05both sign, get what's ours,
00:52:07and never speak to each other again.
00:52:10I'm done.
00:52:12She was cheating on you. What changed?
00:52:14I want to move on.
00:52:24What the hell?
00:52:27Hey, Hailey.
00:52:29There's a design I've been working on.
00:52:30I would love your opinion.
00:52:32You want me to fix your work?
00:52:35Fine.
00:52:37I'll try to fix the impossible.
00:52:41I have a mock-up on my phone.
00:52:45Miss Abrams asked me to give this to you.
00:52:46What do you think?
00:52:48That's not me.
00:52:49I know you switched the thumb drive.
00:52:51Well, you're a hoe,
00:52:53so I just gave you a more accurate speech.
00:52:55There's nothing wrong with that.
00:52:57You tampered with company technology
00:53:00on the biggest presentation of the year.
00:53:02You should be fired.
00:53:04You're not my boss. You're just garbage.
00:53:06So you can't fire me.
00:53:10But I can.
00:53:12But I can.
00:53:15Mr. Townsend,
00:53:17you can't believe her.
00:53:19Some IT moron doctored it and gave it to her.
00:53:22That's not true.
00:53:23I do believe her.
00:53:25Because I sent her the file.
00:53:27I thought he was avoiding me,
00:53:28but he was actually looking out for me.
00:53:31Do you want to call Miss Abrams a hoe to my face?
00:53:33Sir, I...
00:53:35Not only did you put the company at risk,
00:53:37I will not have anyone speak disparagingly
00:53:40about my employees or myself.
00:53:43Get your things. You're fired.
00:53:45But she's the one that used...
00:53:46Get out!
00:53:47Get out!
00:53:49Do you see this?
00:53:51This is absolute garbage.
00:53:53Security!
00:53:54No one is even going to wear this.
00:53:56I mean, I would rather choke myself
00:53:58than wear this garbage.
00:54:01No one will ever wear your designs.
00:54:03Shit!
00:54:09You really didn't have to do that.
00:54:12I did it for the company.
00:54:14It's been a long day.
00:54:16Go home early.
00:54:17See your husband.
00:54:21I wish my husband was more like him.
00:54:34Stop calling me, Chad,
00:54:36or I'm going to call the police!
00:54:41I spoke with his wife.
00:54:42We need to be at the hotel.
00:54:44Good.
00:54:45I'll meet you there and hopefully we can sign.
00:54:49Mr. Townsend?
00:54:50Sorry to interrupt.
00:54:51I didn't realize you were on the phone.
00:54:52I should go.
00:54:53I'll see you later.
00:54:55That woman's voice sounded familiar.
00:54:58Karen just wanted me to drop off these design specs to you
00:55:00before I headed out for lunch.
00:55:02Sorry to interrupt.
00:55:12So what?
00:55:13He's just dropping this whole thing now?
00:55:15He doesn't want to meet with me?
00:55:16He doesn't want my money?
00:55:17What's the catch?
00:55:18Why?
00:55:19Honestly, I think he might have met someone.
00:55:21The girlfriend from the phone?
00:55:23That's weird.
00:55:24I wish you two had met.
00:55:26You might have actually been good friends.
00:55:28I doubt that.
00:55:29So what?
00:55:30So what?
00:55:31Now we sign on our anniversary next week
00:55:33and both get a million dollars and we're done?
00:55:35Those are the terms.
00:55:37Soon you'll be a free woman.
00:55:39Whatever you need that money for,
00:55:40I hope you put it to good use.
00:55:48But don't we still need money for Mom's company?
00:55:50Yeah.
00:55:51The company will go under without Eddie.
00:55:53I mean either that or somebody buys us out.
00:55:56Someone buys them out.
00:55:59I need you to leave me at your office alone.
00:56:01I think I know a way to get you out of this
00:56:03and pay off my loans.
00:56:12What are you doing here, Katie?
00:56:14Meeting men at hotels?
00:56:15What are you, a whore now?
00:56:17I told you to leave me alone!
00:56:19When did your husband leave you?
00:56:21Please, Chad, just drop it.
00:56:22I can't drop it.
00:56:24I hear you're gossiping about our family
00:56:26and ruining our reputation.
00:56:28You are hurting my business.
00:56:30This business belonged to my mother,
00:56:32not you.
00:56:35You touch me, I'll scream.
00:56:37Look at you,
00:56:39playing so hard to get
00:56:40when you can be bought and sold
00:56:42like a fucking pig.
00:56:44I swear I'll yell.
00:56:45That wouldn't be a good look for our stock price now,
00:56:47would it?
00:56:48Oh.
00:56:49I'm sorry.
00:56:51You're Mother's company.
00:56:53If I can't have you, Katie,
00:56:55no one will.
00:56:57If I can't have you, Katie,
00:56:59no one will.
00:57:01I will ruin you.
00:57:03And I'll have you crawling back,
00:57:04begging for me to have you.
00:57:06You're sick!
00:57:08What?
00:57:10You gonna hit me again, Katie?
00:57:17Happy birthday, Katie.
00:57:21I can't accept that.
00:57:23Of course you can.
00:57:25Come on, stop playing hard to get.
00:57:28We're not really siblings.
00:57:30We can be together.
00:57:32You know you want me.
00:57:42What happened?
00:57:44It was an accident.
00:57:45He came on to me.
00:57:46He did no such thing!
00:57:48You get the hell out.
00:57:50You are no longer part of this family.
00:57:52But...
00:57:53Get your things and get out!
00:57:56I'm so sorry.
00:57:58Your father doesn't want you.
00:58:00Your fake husband doesn't want you.
00:58:02You have nothing without me.
00:58:07Your fake husband doesn't want you.
00:58:09You have nothing without me.
00:58:14My driver's outside.
00:58:15Run.
00:58:16Tell him to take you wherever you want.
00:58:18This is a family matter.
00:58:19It doesn't concern you.
00:58:20This must be why she never talks about her husband.
00:58:22He's trash.
00:58:23Go.
00:58:30If you so much put another finger on her again...
00:58:33I'll have you arrested.
00:58:40Are we clear?
00:58:43Yes.
00:58:44Yes.
00:58:51Yes.
00:58:59Are you okay?
00:59:00Me?
00:59:01Yeah, I'm fine.
00:59:02You just missed your wife.
00:59:04Listen.
00:59:05If I were you, I would reconsider this whole divorce thing.
00:59:08She's hot.
00:59:09Really?
00:59:10You think so?
00:59:11Dude, are you blind?
00:59:12I date her.
00:59:13I saw her.
00:59:14You must have different tastes, Dan.
00:59:16Anyway, she agreed to the terms.
00:59:18So, you'll both sign on your anniversary.
00:59:20Got it.
00:59:35I called you in here because I wanted to make sure you're okay.
00:59:38I'm sorry you had to see that.
00:59:39Listen, Kate.
00:59:40I'm worried about your safety.
00:59:42I know I'm not the one to talk, but...
00:59:44that's not a healthy relationship.
00:59:46I know.
00:59:47You need to get a divorce.
00:59:49I don't know what that has to do with anything.
00:59:51It has to do with everything.
00:59:52My husband and I have a complicated relationship, but, you know...
00:59:55we're trying to work things out.
00:59:57Your husband seems crazy.
00:59:58To treat you like that?
00:59:59How can you fix things with that man?
01:00:01To treat you like that?
01:00:02How can you fix things with that man?
01:00:04No, no, no.
01:00:05That man was not my husband.
01:00:07That's my brother.
01:00:08Your brother.
01:00:09Gross.
01:00:10Step-brother.
01:00:12We're estranged.
01:00:13And he's been calling me non-stop from all these different numbers ever since I got back.
01:00:17But I'm working on it.
01:00:19How does your husband feel about this?
01:00:21He...
01:00:22He doesn't know.
01:00:24He should.
01:00:26I don't want to worry him.
01:00:27Now is not the time to tell her I'm getting a divorce.
01:00:30She has too much on the plate.
01:00:32I'm having my security follow you until this is resolved.
01:00:35Oh, that won't be necessary.
01:00:37It's not up for debate.
01:00:39No one is going to hurt you.
01:00:54You promise if I save the company, you'll keep Chad away from me?
01:00:57As best I can.
01:00:58Good.
01:00:59Then we'll move forward as soon as the divorce is final.
01:01:01Do you have the money?
01:01:02No.
01:01:03And I'm not giving you a million dollars.
01:01:05I'm buying controlling interest in Mother's Company.
01:01:08On one condition.
01:01:09Who the fuck are you to make conditions?
01:01:11Well, technically, if I have controlling interest, I can make whatever terms I want.
01:01:15What are your terms?
01:01:17You remove Evelyn from the board and fire Chad.
01:01:19Absolutely not.
01:01:21Honey, I can't do that.
01:01:25I built this company.
01:01:27You bled it and this family dry.
01:01:30And technically, if I own controlling interest, I can fire you whenever I want anyway.
01:01:34So it's probably best you just leave now.
01:01:36And Dad, you can stay honest to EO.
01:01:39What do you say?
01:01:45Evelyn, you're fired.
01:01:48Then I'm divorcing you.
01:01:51You're going to choose her over me?
01:01:53You know what, I should have done this a long time ago.
01:01:55Oh, then I'm going to sue you for all you're worth, you old sorry bag of balls.
01:02:00I've got nothing to give you, so all you're going to get is my debt.
01:02:03Alright, I think it's best if you leave the premises, unless you want me to call security.
01:02:08Mummy.
01:02:09Oh, you ungrateful little bitch.
01:02:12Oh, and if you could ask Chad to leave me alone or I'll get a restraining order, that would be great.
01:02:16Thanks.
01:02:20I am so sorry that I brought her and Chad into our lives.
01:02:24I'll make sure this doesn't interfere with your life, and I will rebuild this company,
01:02:29and I will make it right for both you and your mother.
01:02:34Because now I'm your boss.
01:02:49I heard everything that happened with that creep.
01:02:51You shouldn't be alone. I'm cooking you dinner.
01:02:53Janie, I'm fine.
01:02:55Too late. We're already here.
01:02:57What do you mean, we?
01:03:04I invited Jack.
01:03:08Where is your husband? I'm looking forward to meeting him.
01:03:11Oh, um, he's actually still out of town.
01:03:16Yeah, he's been out of town for a very, very long time.
01:03:22Anyway, Kate, why don't you give me a tour of your house? I would love to go catch up.
01:03:27Sure.
01:03:28I'll just start on dinner.
01:03:37Okay, what's going on with this husband thing?
01:03:39It's getting kind of annoying.
01:03:41Why don't you just tell my brother the truth?
01:03:43Because the truth is weird, and I don't think he'll understand the truth.
01:03:46Okay, but he might.
01:03:47Janie, this is stupid, okay?
01:03:49You know I have to go along with the marriage thing and tell the anniversary so I can get the money and blah, blah, blah.
01:03:55Besides, I can't be involved with anyone right now, especially Jack.
01:03:59So you are interested.
01:04:02I'm not that type of girl, okay?
01:04:04And he's with someone?
01:04:06Yes, this mysterious girl that I've never met.
01:04:09Well, you know, he's private.
01:04:12I think he's leaving her.
01:04:15So I've heard.
01:04:18Oh, you do like him. Oh, you guys are so ridiculous.
01:04:23Just think about telling him the truth.
01:04:29Think about telling him the truth.
01:04:35Okay.
01:04:36I will think about it. I will think about it.
01:04:39Okay.
01:04:41You know what? I have to go.
01:04:43Take a phone call in the other room.
01:04:45I'm not very domestic, so I guess you two have fun.
01:04:53All right.
01:04:54Peel this and grab a knife.
01:04:57Excuse me? This is my kitchen.
01:04:59You are not my boss in here.
01:05:01Peel this and grab a knife, please.
01:05:04Please.
01:05:09So with all your money you cook too?
01:05:12My grandmother taught me.
01:05:14And I didn't always have money.
01:05:17So, to cut a shallot...
01:05:19Are you trying to make me cry?
01:05:21Are you trying to make me cry?
01:05:24Never.
01:05:26Okay.
01:05:28What do you want to do?
01:05:29Grab the knife.
01:05:31And so you don't cry.
01:05:32You want to keep the root on.
01:05:34Then you want to cut against the grain.
01:05:37And make cross sections.
01:05:39Just like this.
01:05:51How does your husband feel about me being here?
01:05:54Oh.
01:05:56Yeah.
01:05:57About that, I think I should be honest with you.
01:06:02I...
01:06:08I got you.
01:06:14Let me see.
01:06:21I wish I could keep a sharp knife away from you.
01:06:28Oh.
01:06:31Here, try this.
01:06:32It's fresh from the farmer's market.
01:06:35Maybe I should just tell him the truth.
01:06:37I'll tell him the truth when the divorce is final.
01:06:40It's too hard to explain.
01:06:44So anyway, about your husband.
01:06:47How does he feel about some random dude being here?
01:06:50You're not some random dude.
01:06:54You're different.
01:06:57How am I different?
01:06:59Well, you know you're my boss.
01:07:01And my friend's brother.
01:07:05Right.
01:07:06Your boss.
01:07:11Sorry that phone call took so long.
01:07:13What'd I miss?
01:07:15Nothing.
01:07:16Not much.
01:07:17Cool.
01:07:18Oh!
01:07:19Jack, did you invite Kate to Mom's birthday?
01:07:22So her mom's in town, so we're throwing her a big birthday party.
01:07:25She would love to meet you.
01:07:28Well, I would love to meet her.
01:07:31Mom is sick of Jack never bringing a girl home.
01:07:34She'll definitely fall in love with Kate.
01:07:42You should go home.
01:07:43My driver can take you.
01:07:47Um, I just need to finish these sketches first.
01:07:51I'll send them back after he drops me.
01:07:53It's not safe.
01:07:54Thanks.
01:07:55Um, Kate.
01:07:58I was wondering if you'd like to go to my mother's party with me.
01:08:01She's a primary investor of this company, and I think she should know our designers.
01:08:05Won't your wife be going with you?
01:08:07It's complicated.
01:08:09My mother's not the biggest fan of my relationship decisions.
01:08:12No wonder his wife keeps her distance from the family.
01:08:16And your husband? Would he want to go?
01:08:18I don't want to overstep.
01:08:19Um, he's, he's out of town.
01:08:21He's working.
01:08:22But Janie said she's going, so...
01:08:25Sure.
01:08:26Great. Do you know the dress code?
01:08:28No.
01:08:29Your mother's a designer. You'll have to wear something from the archive.
01:08:32What archive?
01:08:40Janie pulled them in your size.
01:08:42Try them on.
01:08:52Okay.
01:09:15Do you mind?
01:09:23No.
01:09:29That is the one.
01:09:31Definitely.
01:09:32Leave it here, and I'll have them send it to your house along with the jewelry from your collection.
01:09:37See you tomorrow. I'll meet you here.
01:09:39Okay.
01:09:51So you just sign there, and I'll have my client sign tomorrow, and we're done.
01:09:59Okay.
01:10:01There you go.
01:10:02We'll wire the money to your bank account. Thanks for meeting me here.
01:10:05There's really no problem. I work in the building, so...
01:10:08This building?
01:10:09Mm-hmm.
01:10:11Okay. Have a nice day.
01:10:12Yeah.
01:10:14See you in the break room.
01:10:19I signed, and I'll be divorced in a few days.
01:10:22No matter what, I should tell Jack the truth.
01:10:26Yeah.
01:10:36Your wife has no stipulations. You just need to sign, and you're divorced.
01:10:41It's that easy?
01:10:42Maybe you've met. She said she worked in the building.
01:10:45That's weird. It's only our company.
01:10:48It could be a buyer or a client or something.
01:10:51I probably misheard.
01:10:52Maybe take the night and read it over first before you sign?
01:10:59Have fun at your party.
01:11:16Going down.
01:11:22Okay.
01:11:32Wow.
01:11:33Do you think your mom will like it?
01:11:35How could she not? It's her design.
01:11:40My son is late. Again.
01:11:42Don't worry. He'll be here.
01:11:45John is so focused on his work. I just want him to find the right girl and settle down.
01:11:50I've been meaning to talk to you about that.
01:11:56Speak of the devil.
01:11:59And who is this?
01:12:00No one.
01:12:01She doesn't look like no one.
01:12:03She will be soon.
01:12:07Jack.
01:12:10Happy birthday, Mom.
01:12:11Mommy, this is Kate Abrams.
01:12:15You have excellent taste, Kate.
01:12:21Jackie.
01:12:24You look amazing.
01:12:29Kate.
01:12:31Have you met my date?
01:12:36Oh, Katie and I know each other very well.
01:12:39Stay calm, Kate.
01:12:41Don't make a scene.
01:12:43Fortunately, we have met.
01:12:45I see your face is healed.
01:12:47Oh, good.
01:12:48While you two catch up, I'll go get some drink.
01:12:55I don't want to ruin the party. I'll handle this.
01:13:00What are you doing here?
01:13:02I was invited.
01:13:03I think you should go.
01:13:04Not until Kate has a drink with me.
01:13:06We have family matters to discuss.
01:13:19Maybe this will help Jack feel differently about me.
01:13:24One drink and then you'll leave?
01:13:28One drink and then you'll leave?
01:13:30I swear.
01:13:32Come with me.
01:13:33Hey, dude, you're not her husband, so why don't you just back off?
01:13:35Jack, it's okay. It's just one drink.
01:13:39Here you two go.
01:13:42So what were we all talking about?
01:13:44Kate and I were just going to catch up.
01:13:46Oh, good.
01:13:48Jack and I have some things to catch up on, too.
01:13:51Excuse me, Annabelle.
01:13:58Kate doesn't come back with that man in 15 minutes. Call the police.
01:14:04You have me here. Now what?
01:14:06I need you to hire me back and reinstate my mother on the board.
01:14:09Absolutely not.
01:14:11Kate, we're family.
01:14:13Kate, we're family.
01:14:16Your family destroyed our company and my life.
01:14:20You stole from my father. You're a fucking stalker. I'm not helping you.
01:14:24People can change.
01:14:26What's wrong? You barely touched your drink.
01:14:29I'm not thirsty.
01:14:30You need to trust me.
01:14:32Now, we said we'd have one drink. I'm not leaving until then.
01:14:43What?
01:14:48You bitch.
01:15:05Annabelle texted me and told me that Kate is upstairs alone in a hotel room.
01:15:09Excuse me, Mom.
01:15:13My God, are you okay?
01:15:17I'm more than okay, sweetheart.
01:15:22Let me make you feel okay.
01:15:40What the hell are you doing?
01:15:41Don't you want me?
01:15:43That drink should have warmed you up for me, baby.
01:15:45You're disgusting.
01:15:47And I didn't drink it. Not after what you and Xander pulled the other night.
01:15:58Oh, my God.
01:16:00Kate, Kate, Kate.
01:16:01Oh, my God. Kate, Kate.
01:16:02Kate, wake up. Wake up.
01:16:04Help!
01:16:12Are you her husband?
01:16:14No, just a friend.
01:16:16I don't have her cell code to call her husband. Is she all right?
01:16:19She's fine. We pumped her stomach.
01:16:21We just need her full name and insurance card for the system.
01:16:24I can send her wallet. Let me get back to you.
01:16:34Kate Smith?
01:16:36It's a common name.
01:16:37Then again, damn, it's sick.
01:16:39Then again, damn, she said she worked in my building.
01:16:51I'm Kate. I used to live in this neighborhood.
01:16:54My husband and I do have a complicated relationship, but we're trying to make things work.
01:16:58Oh, my God, it's her.
01:17:00Oh, my God, it's her.
01:17:04Damn, I won't divorce her. I'm not going to sign.
01:17:06Damn, I won't divorce her. I'm not going to sign.
01:17:08Draft up fake papers if you need to.
01:17:14Kate?
01:17:16I'm so happy you're okay.
01:17:19The police arrested Chad as soon as you left.
01:17:22They found a weapon on him.
01:17:30Thank God.
01:17:32It could have been so much worse.
01:17:33They're holding him without bail, so he won't be getting out any time soon.
01:17:37You're safe, okay?
01:17:46Where's Jack?
01:17:48I'd really like to thank him.
01:17:51Well, once he found out you were okay, he had to go do something.
01:17:56Something about his wife.
01:17:58I don't really know. He said he would explain later.
01:18:00Ugh, his wife.
01:18:02I need to end whatever this is between us.
01:18:07Miss Smith, I'm sending over a partner with the finalized divorce agreement.
01:18:13Congratulations, you are now a single woman.
01:18:30Kate, hi.
01:18:32Hi.
01:18:35I, um, I wanted to say thank you for everything the other night.
01:18:40I'm just glad you're okay.
01:18:43I also wanted to say that whatever is going on between us, I think it should stop.
01:18:52You're my boss and you're married.
01:18:54No.
01:18:56No.
01:18:57I totally understand.
01:18:59I appreciate it.
01:19:01I think my wife and I are going to give it another go.
01:19:04Oh.
01:19:06Yeah, I'm going to give it a real shot.
01:19:10Well, she's, um, a very lucky lady.
01:19:27Hi.
01:19:43Janie.
01:19:45Hi.
01:19:47Hi.
01:19:49Come on in.
01:19:51How's it going?
01:19:53Good.
01:19:55What's up?
01:19:57How?
01:19:59We're going to drink this bottle and we're going to try on wedding dresses.
01:20:03Janie, I just got a divorce.
01:20:06Exactly.
01:20:08Okay, fine.
01:20:10I need to see my designs on a body and you, my friend, are the sample size.
01:20:13Come on, it'll be fun.
01:20:16Fine.
01:20:18Yes.
01:20:19Okay, come on.
01:20:20Let's go.
01:20:21Okay.
01:20:27Your dress is going to fit you perfectly.
01:20:30Oh, it's not for me.
01:20:32Of course it is.
01:20:34It's custom.
01:20:36I think there might be some confusion.
01:20:38I'm not getting married.
01:20:44Hopefully you are.
01:20:46Kate, two years ago my grandma asked me to marry a stranger.
01:20:49I never expected to fall in love with her.
01:20:53Is it too late to give this another try?
01:20:56It was you.
01:20:59Jack is short for John.
01:21:02Oh my God, you weren't married.
01:21:04I was.
01:21:06To you.
01:21:08I'm John Michael Townsend.
01:21:10Nice to meet you.
01:21:13Kate Smith.
01:21:14God, how did it take me so long to realize it was you?
01:21:24Long but never late.
01:21:26Kate, now that I know you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
01:21:34Will you marry me?
01:21:36Again?
01:21:38Only this time for real.
01:21:41Yes.
01:21:43Yes, yes, yes.
01:22:02I told you you'd make a cute couple.
01:22:12I love you.
