00:00:00They say the most primal human things are fighting, and well, I was about to learn both.
00:00:16Every girl wants to find her prince charming, but unfortunately we don't exactly live in
00:00:21a fairytale world.
00:00:23There's no such thing as happily ever after.
00:00:26Where is the duck for table two?
00:00:29Table two ordered something special, chef.
00:00:32No, table two ordered the special, and the special is the duck.
00:00:37What is this?
00:00:38Nothing.
00:00:39Yes, exactly.
00:00:40This is nothing.
00:00:41Now.
00:00:42The duck.
00:00:43Just do what your boss says, Lily.
00:00:45You can't afford to lose another job.
00:00:47How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?
00:00:51Table two, the duck.
00:00:56So I'm thinking about adopting a dog, you know, like the little tiny dogs that can fit
00:01:00in your handbag.
00:01:01They're so cute.
00:01:02So anyway, once your inheritance is secure, the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:01:07But what is this mystery clause you want to tell us about, Jack?
00:01:12Jack?
00:01:13Jack?
00:01:14Hello?
00:01:15Yeah, the dog.
00:01:16Hi.
00:01:17Hi.
00:01:18You ordered the special?
00:01:31Actually, I ordered the- Trust me.
00:01:35Who is that girl?
00:01:38Something about her.
00:01:39It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:42Well, that was presumptuous.
00:01:44The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?
00:01:47Don't tell me you're actually impressed by that little slut, Jack.
00:01:49It looks good.
00:01:51The food or the waitress?
00:02:02And what do you think you are doing?
00:02:04I'm making something from this century.
00:02:06You know what?
00:02:07That's it.
00:02:08I've had enough.
00:02:09You are fired.
00:02:10Get out of here.
00:02:11Not this again.
00:02:12What did you say?
00:02:14I am serious this time.
00:02:15You are fired.
00:02:16You get out of here.
00:02:17What?
00:02:18You take this.
00:02:19You give up your act.
00:02:20You get out.
00:02:21No, please, sir.
00:02:22It won't happen again.
00:02:23No more Mr. Nice Guy this time.
00:02:24You get out.
00:02:25You leave.
00:02:26Please.
00:02:27No.
00:02:28Now.
00:02:29I'm taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:35Yeah, the trash.
00:02:40Asshole.
00:02:43Asshole.
00:03:00Please.
00:03:01Don't scream.
00:03:02Don't scream.
00:03:03Don't scream, baby.
00:03:04Or do you?
00:03:06Scream for me.
00:03:12Hey!
00:03:21Hey, wait!
00:03:43Not now, weren't I?
00:03:47Jack, my man!
00:03:48Que paso?
00:03:48So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:52When you gonna unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:54The deal of a lifetime isn't gonna wait forever.
00:03:57Yeah.
00:03:58Yeah, come on, are you even listening?
00:04:00I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:04:03And I mean, I'm not gonna be that guy.
00:04:05Are you gonna be that guy?
00:04:07Um...
00:04:08How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:15Maybe next time.
00:04:18Thanks.
00:04:19Call me.
00:04:20I'll call you back.
00:04:21Jack, come on.
00:04:22You gotta lock on me.
00:04:23Jack's never done that before.
00:04:25If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:32We're over.
00:04:32Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:37I've got just the plan.
00:04:45Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:55How am I gonna find her again?
00:04:58You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:01Are you out of your mind?
00:05:03Vivian and I are done.
00:05:04Never again.
00:05:05She's just...business now.
00:05:07Very well, sir.
00:05:08Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:11I'll find another wife.
00:05:13I'm afraid not.
00:05:14But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:17You must be married before your 32nd birthday.
00:05:21And you must be married before your 30th birthday.
00:05:24Jack, you must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:29I know, I know.
00:05:30And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.
00:05:34The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:38And most crucially of all,
00:05:40you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.
00:05:44Especially your wife.
00:05:45Or I lose everything.
00:05:48Everything.
00:05:55Don't complain about anything.
00:05:57I don't complain. I don't.
00:05:58All I'm saying is, you're gonna have to start living in the real world.
00:06:02I am living in the real world.
00:06:09Really?
00:06:10Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:14Creative...differences.
00:06:17There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:20There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:24Lily.
00:06:26You gotta open up your own place.
00:06:28You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:30So you gotta show the world what you got.
00:06:33Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:36But without yours, we're never gonna be able to afford mom's operation.
00:06:41Yeah, and it'll be all my fault.
00:06:44Lily.
00:06:47There is an opening at my office.
00:06:50Seriously?
00:06:52It's stable.
00:06:53Health insurance. 401K.
00:06:55I'd rather die.
00:06:56You'd rather be broke.
00:06:57No, I'd rather...
00:07:05How can you help mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:14Fine, yeah, you're right.
00:07:16Let's do it.
00:07:20Let's do it.
00:07:42Hi.
00:07:45Name?
00:07:47Uh, Lily Downing.
00:07:48Can I help you?
00:07:50Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:52My sister's Megan.
00:07:53She, um, she works here.
00:07:55Last place of employment?
00:07:57Uh, Chez Francois.
00:07:59A restaurant?
00:08:00Yes, I, um, I'm a chef.
00:08:02My passion's cooking, so I, I...
00:08:04And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:06No.
00:08:08No, of course not.
00:08:10And why do you think someone like you could work here?
00:08:15Um, I just need a job.
00:08:18Sorry, I'm...
00:08:19Thanks, uh, we'll let you know, okay?
00:08:23You can go now.
00:08:25Bye-bye.
00:08:34Screw this!
00:08:38Fuck.
00:08:49What are you looking at?
00:08:57I'm sorry, Mom.
00:08:58I've tried everything, and I've let you down.
00:09:01You?
00:09:05Me.
00:09:08You dropped something.
00:09:11How did you?
00:09:15What are you doing here?
00:09:16I have a proposition for you.
00:09:19Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:23Well, hold on.
00:09:23Just hear me out.
00:09:25I heard you get fired.
00:09:27I know you don't have any money.
00:09:30Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.
00:09:32I'm doing fine, thank you.
00:09:35Really?
00:09:38What if I told you this proposition could solve all your problems?
00:09:43All your problems?
00:09:44Really? Solve all my problems?
00:09:48I've got a lot of problems.
00:09:50What if I told you I need a wife?
00:09:52I'd tell you that there are apps for that.
00:09:54For one year.
00:09:55Classy.
00:09:56Look, listen.
00:09:58I have a very important business deal with some very important people involved,
00:10:02and they need to see stability.
00:10:05Okay, so find someone stable.
00:10:07Well, that's just it.
00:10:09I need someone who won't fall in love with me.
00:10:11Someone who will just walk away after the year.
00:10:14And you seem uniquely qualified.
00:10:17I thought you'd think I'm good at walking away.
00:10:26Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:28Well, anything you want.
00:10:29Money.
00:10:30Place to live.
00:10:32Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:35Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:43Wow, um, yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:52It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:11:05You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:07My own wing?
00:11:08Complete privacy.
00:11:10But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:12Play the happy wife.
00:11:13Okay.
00:11:34This is, um,
00:11:38specific.
00:11:40I like clarity.
00:11:43Hmm.
00:11:49Wife agrees to perform.
00:11:55Very specific.
00:11:59Is there a problem?
00:12:02Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:06What's going on here?
00:12:13I'm saying yes.
00:12:28To everything.
00:12:30Do you, Jack Thorne?
00:12:47This is insane.
00:12:48Shut up, Warren.
00:12:50Take Lily Dunnan to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:54This is fucking nuts.
00:12:55Shut the fuck up.
00:12:58I do.
00:13:00I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:30This marriage, it's, it's just a contract.
00:13:53Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
00:14:12But good night, husband.
00:14:22And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:30The room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:43And we have the west wing library and the east wing pool.
00:14:48How do you find anything in here?
00:14:51One of ducks, madam.
00:15:02And this room is the, um, oh, dear.
00:15:10Would you excuse me?
00:15:12Of course.
00:15:12Apologies.
00:15:17So
00:15:28what are you doing here?
00:15:58Oh, my gosh.
00:16:18Problem?
00:16:21This is a lot.
00:16:24The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions.
00:16:28Including tonight's charity gal.
00:16:31I, I can't accept it.
00:16:32You can and you won't.
00:16:35Unless you want to attend the event and chance.
00:16:42You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:45Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:58Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:17:01Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:15And then I said, do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:18I don't need a knife.
00:17:19I need a chainsaw.
00:17:22Jackie, there you are.
00:17:25Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:27We simply must celebrate.
00:17:30Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:33That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:37I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:45My God, this is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:49I'm sorry, but I didn't, I didn't even do anything.
00:17:52Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:54Waitstaff Training School.
00:17:56Vivian.
00:17:59Oh, that was it.
00:18:01She was actually a waitress.
00:18:03Or I don't remember.
00:18:04Whatever it was.
00:18:07Excuse me.
00:18:10So what you got to say, Hive?
00:18:12We're done with the ex.
00:18:13So as I was saying.
00:18:44You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:19:11Wow.
00:19:12Good?
00:19:14Surprisingly good.
00:19:15Surprisingly good.
00:19:19Well, payment for spying.
00:19:22Payment accepted.
00:19:23You know, the house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:33I had to make do.
00:19:35Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:37It's a shame.
00:19:42You can go now.
00:20:03You, um, wanted to see me.
00:20:07Time for your first lesson.
00:20:09My what?
00:20:12Uh.
00:20:15Self-defense.
00:20:17Never know when you might need it.
00:20:18I don't know if that's really...
00:20:20Number one.
00:20:21Stance.
00:20:24Move the feet apart.
00:20:26Bend this knee.
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:28Then move this foot forward.
00:20:31Okay.
00:20:32Okay.
00:20:33Now, hands up.
00:20:35Protect the face.
00:20:37Okay.
00:20:38Now, like this.
00:20:41Oh, God.
00:20:47Not really good at this.
00:20:50We're just getting started.
00:20:52Um.
00:20:54Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:58Rule number one.
00:21:00Stance.
00:21:02Right?
00:21:10So.
00:21:31Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:34I, um, a business expense?
00:21:39Business expense.
00:21:41These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:45The best knives to the best chef.
00:21:50Why are you doing this?
00:21:51The contract.
00:21:53No.
00:21:55The real reason.
00:21:57Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:22:02Maybe.
00:22:04You just like watching me.
00:22:10You know that, um, this doesn't change anything.
00:22:14Of course not.
00:22:21This is for your mother.
00:22:28The...
00:22:28No, this, this is too much.
00:22:29This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:33At least I can do it.
00:22:35I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
00:22:39What's the catch?
00:22:52We've got a problem.
00:22:54Morning to you, too.
00:22:55So, the inheritance release date is set, but if anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:23:00No one's gonna find out.
00:23:01Well, really, because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:23:04It's under control.
00:23:06Is it?
00:23:09Because it seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...
00:23:11I said it's handled.
00:23:23Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:26This Morrison deal.
00:23:27Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:29This Morrison deal.
00:23:32It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:36Don't tell me you're actually fooling me.
00:23:37Get out.
00:24:57Oh, no.
00:25:14God.
00:25:27Jack, darling.
00:25:29Fancy seeing you here.
00:25:31Vivienne?
00:25:32The 82 crystal.
00:25:34Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:37I can still feel it running down my back, just thinking about it.
00:25:40We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:44Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:45You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:51Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:53This must be so boring for you.
00:25:56You're so insightful, Vivienne.
00:25:58You do bore me.
00:26:00Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:26:03Why don't you go back to, like, chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:26:08So basically, you know, the company way that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:11I had a business meeting with Hannah today, and she has basically advised me to say that
00:26:16our investments are not making any profit.
00:26:18The company itself isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:20So my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:26Why the whirlwind romance you've got there?
00:26:42What's the catch?
00:26:44There's always a catch.
00:26:46Excuse me, right?
00:26:48Rebecca Chen.
00:26:49Social pages.
00:26:50Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:54This must be some kind of record.
00:26:56Though lately I've been more interested in business deals.
00:27:01What would you say?
00:27:04Love at first sight or something more contractual?
00:27:08You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:11Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:18We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:21I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:24Oh, the Morrison Foundation dinner's tonight.
00:27:33Oh, great.
00:27:34Another dinner.
00:27:36It's important.
00:27:37They're all important.
00:27:38It's a part of the deal.
00:27:41They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:44You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:46Did I?
00:27:47At least Vivian will be there to talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:55Okay, whatever.
00:28:08Nice.
00:28:09Real mature.
00:28:13No, don't.
00:28:14Whoa!
00:28:17Oh!
00:28:19Okay.
00:28:20Okay, fine.
00:28:21You want to go?
00:28:22Nope.
00:28:25No, no, please.
00:28:30Okay, go ahead.
00:28:31No, no, no.
00:28:35Let go!
00:28:39Ow!
00:28:47So
00:29:11Yeah.
00:29:17So Jack's inheritance is all set,
00:29:20but he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:24That's a problem.
00:29:27It's the girl, isn't it?
00:29:28The waitress.
00:29:30You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:32And I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:34No, I've done my part.
00:29:37That's under way.
00:29:38And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:42I have everything under control.
00:29:44Oh, really?
00:29:45Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.
00:29:47You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack.
00:29:51You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:53I've just begun.
00:29:59I've got it.
00:30:11Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:30:14I live here.
00:30:16Huh.
00:30:17Of course you do.
00:30:19Okay, thanks.
00:30:22Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study?
00:30:25We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:33Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal?
00:30:40Vivian?
00:30:43Remember Tokyo?
00:30:45That sake bar?
00:30:47I'm married.
00:30:50Are you now?
00:30:52I hadn't noticed.
00:30:54Uh-oh.
00:30:56You know that feeling when you leave the house
00:30:59and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:31:12I forgot something.
00:31:15Maybe you can help me figure it out?
00:31:22Coffee?
00:31:25Oh, no thank you.
00:31:27Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:30Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:33Do you, Jack?
00:31:34Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:37I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:40And he just absolutely laps up every drop of my coffee.
00:31:49Isn't that right?
00:31:51Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:58So, how's Vivian?
00:32:03Focus on your form.
00:32:05You know, I was just wondering.
00:32:08How long with two of you?
00:32:08Ancient history.
00:32:11That's not what I heard.
00:32:12From who?
00:32:14Around.
00:32:16Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:18You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:20You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:23Best business.
00:32:25Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:30But you know what?
00:32:33What's this?
00:32:36Some pretty big business that you haven't been sharing with me.
00:32:41I think Vivian wants some of it, too.
00:32:44But you know what?
00:32:47Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:51Sad.
00:32:53Watch your stance.
00:32:58I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:01I'm not lying, Lily.
00:33:05Don't break my heart.
00:33:09Yeah.
00:33:10Yeah.
00:33:40Hi.
00:33:43Yeah, the sky is so gray today.
00:33:45I hate it so much.
00:33:46Please act like you know me.
00:33:47There's someone following me.
00:33:48Oh my god, are you okay?
00:33:50Who's following you?
00:33:53That weirdo?
00:33:59Is he gone?
00:34:01I think he's gone.
00:34:10You sure?
00:34:18Like that?
00:34:22I think your technique could use some work.
00:34:24They got the dota rights.
00:34:29Sure that wasn't me?
00:34:40What?
00:34:56Of course.
00:34:57And I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies.
00:35:02I'm sure Jax brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:35:05Um, actually, I...
00:35:07Tell me.
00:35:08What's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:10Um, I think...
00:35:14Oh, no comment.
00:35:15How surprising.
00:35:17Excuse me.
00:35:18Oh, great thinking, Lily.
00:35:20All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:39I love you.
00:35:39Uh-huh.
00:35:44Love you.
00:35:54But this thing isn't gonna last forever, Jack.
00:35:57I don't know.
00:35:58I mean, what choice do you have?
00:36:01Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:36:03Unless you want to lose this deal forever.
00:36:07Lunch?
00:36:08Yeah.
00:36:10I was just on my way out.
00:36:15Think about it, Jack.
00:36:25What was that about?
00:36:27Nothing.
00:36:27Just business.
00:36:28Just business.
00:36:30Of course.
00:36:32Lily, wait.
00:36:33What do you want, Jack?
00:36:56Taking you on a holiday.
00:36:57What?
00:36:59I'm not taking you on a holiday.
00:37:00I'm taking you on a date.
00:37:01What?
00:37:02You have time for that?
00:37:05A lot of time.
00:37:08Just us?
00:37:09Well, I know what I want.
00:37:14Oh, what about, um...
00:37:16What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:18That could wait.
00:37:22There she is.
00:37:24What?
00:37:25That smile.
00:37:27It's the one you have when I first laid eyes on you.
00:37:30I'll never forget it.
00:37:32You know that I don't just serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:37Really?
00:37:42I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.
00:37:45I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.
00:37:49Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:51Safe.
00:37:53Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:58Yeah.
00:37:59Very good.
00:38:02Who sent the message?
00:38:04Vivian Chase.
00:38:09Lil' Bae, I'm sorry.
00:38:10Don't, please.
00:38:12It's just business.
00:38:12It's business, yeah.
00:38:14I get it.
00:38:25Lil' Bae, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:26Just shut up and taste this.
00:38:31Mmm, this tastes, uh...
00:38:40Incredible?
00:38:41Yeah.
00:38:41Yeah, I know.
00:38:47Jack?
00:38:50Do you want more?
00:38:52Um, after this one?
00:38:53No.
00:38:56Let the food, Jack.
00:39:00Talking about us.
00:39:02How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:23Oh my god.
00:39:26What was that?
00:39:32I don't know.
00:39:34Any enemies?
00:39:36Business rivals?
00:39:39No one comes to mind.
00:39:41Security cameras?
00:39:44Being installed as we speak.
00:39:55Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:58Sorry.
00:40:00I thought I saw...
00:40:01I'm ruined.
00:40:06You okay?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:23This is so insane.
00:40:26It's probably just kids.
00:40:27Kids?
00:40:29Seriously?
00:40:31Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:32Oh, sorry.
00:40:34What, are you afraid that someone's gonna hear about our perfect marriage?
00:40:45What are you hiding from me?
00:40:50Hey.
00:40:53Hey, you know that secret room that you didn't want me to find?
00:40:57I found it.
00:41:02Yeah?
00:41:07Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:13Do you want to see it?
00:41:16Show me.
00:41:27So...
00:41:44Most people run.
00:41:46I'm not most people.
00:41:52So...
00:41:55This is what you're into?
00:41:58Among other things.
00:41:59And all of those...
00:42:02Specific requirements?
00:42:04We're about to scare you off.
00:42:06I don't scare you.
00:42:08I'm starting to get that.
00:42:16Show me.
00:42:18You sure?
00:42:20Are you?
00:42:27So...
00:42:57So...
00:42:59So...
00:43:02So...
00:43:09Sir, Miss Chase is here.
00:43:11She says it's urgent.
00:43:13Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there.
00:43:16Final deal points.
00:43:17Jack's leaving in 30.
00:43:18I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:23Lily, wait.
00:43:23Just go.
00:43:54Lily, I can explain.
00:44:02Can you?
00:44:06Guess some business can't wait.
00:44:17This whole thing is...
00:44:19Let me get this straight.
00:44:21You sleep with them
00:44:22and then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:24That's complicated.
00:44:26When isn't it with you?
00:44:28Look, maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:31What? A mistake?
00:44:33That you were right?
00:44:34Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:37No, I want you to be happy.
00:44:40And are you?
00:44:43I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:45I mean, he paid for mom's operation, so that's cool, but...
00:44:48I know.
00:44:49And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for...
00:44:53Lily?
00:44:59Stand back.
00:45:00What?
00:45:00Stand back, Megan.
00:45:05Key, key, key, key, key.
00:45:07Lily!
00:45:07Get your hands off!
00:45:13Go, motherfucker!
00:45:15Oh my god!
00:45:17Fuck you!
00:45:19Come on, let's go.
00:45:22Oh, fuck.
00:45:26What was that?
00:45:28Lessons with Jack.
00:45:29Jack taught you that?
00:45:31Yeah, yeah.
00:45:33Dude's getting better by a minute.
00:45:35I know.
00:45:36Oh, man.
00:45:40You okay?
00:45:41Yeah.
00:45:43God, things were supposed to be so simple.
00:45:47Now what?
00:45:49I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:50I love you.
00:45:52I love you, too.
00:46:20He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:35Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:38How could you?
00:46:44Eleven months.
00:46:46Almost a year.
00:46:47I barely knew limits anymore.
00:47:01Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:47:03I'm all ears.
00:47:04It's about the deal.
00:47:06About Lauren, Vivian.
00:47:08Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:11Oh, great.
00:47:13The press.
00:47:13These aren't real.
00:47:23Oh, my sisters say they are very real.
00:47:25Story runs in 48 hours.
00:47:26Lily, this is what I was just about to tell you.
00:47:28I've been set up.
00:47:32Care to comment, Mr. Thorne?
00:47:34You know, it's funny.
00:47:42I don't know.
00:47:43For a minute, I really believed.
00:47:47Louie, wait.
00:47:50They're not real.
00:47:53Tick tock, Mr. Thorne.
00:48:05Louie, wait.
00:48:08They're not real.
00:48:09You have to believe me.
00:48:11Look, I believed you when you said that this
00:48:12was just a business deal.
00:48:15Look, I believed you when you said that Vivian
00:48:17was just a colleague.
00:48:20Look, I believe that last night actually meant something.
00:48:23It did.
00:48:25Louie, what happened between us was for the transaction.
00:48:28That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:31That's not true.
00:48:33And you know it.
00:48:34Do I?
00:48:37Because from where I'm standing, you got everything
00:48:40that you wanted.
00:48:41You got a wife when you needed one
00:48:43and a body when you wanted one.
00:48:45Louie, that's not it.
00:48:46Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:48Tell me that there's not something more going on here
00:48:51with the business deal and your inheritance.
00:48:54Anything more to explain?
00:49:02That's what I thought.
00:49:07You're a terrible person.
00:49:10If you leave now, you violate the contract.
00:49:13You get nothing.
00:49:15I don't care.
00:49:19I never cared about any of that.
00:49:40Protect the face.
00:49:42No, don't.
00:49:44Ah.
00:49:45Go?
00:49:46No.
00:49:47Ah.
00:49:56Warren.
00:49:57Finally, look, about the Morrison deal.
00:50:00It's off.
00:50:01What do you mean, it's off?
00:50:02All of it.
00:50:04The deal, the inheritance, I don't want any of it.
00:50:07Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:09I mean, everything that we've worked for.
00:50:11Actually, I think I've heard it.
00:50:39Oh.
00:50:48You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:51Watch me.
00:51:03Hey, what happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:08The one who quit her job because she
00:51:10didn't want to compromise?
00:51:11She played.
00:51:12Did she?
00:51:18If that's Jack, I'm sure that's just my oxygenarian neighbor
00:51:21who's a total drama queen.
00:51:23Watch.
00:51:25Gladys?
00:51:28Gladys, is that you?
00:51:30Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:38Sir, coffee.
00:51:41Hi.
00:51:42I did some digging around, like you asked, sir.
00:51:45You might want to see this.
00:51:51What am I looking at here?
00:51:52Wire transfers, shell companies, all
00:51:55leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:58Warren, I knew it.
00:52:00You might want to see these too, sir.
00:52:01They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:03Son of a bitch.
00:52:05He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:07He sure is.
00:52:08All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:52:12Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests
00:52:16are not purely financial.
00:52:33Sir?
00:52:34They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:36Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:39Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:41Every meeting, every call.
00:52:42Already compiled, sir.
00:52:44I had a feeling you might need this.
00:52:45Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:47Some things are worth more than money.
00:52:50I'm calling back, Megan.
00:53:04God.
00:53:19Oh
00:53:45Oh
00:53:49I
00:53:53Gotta send it this I can get us out of this. Oh, I can do this. I can do this
00:54:00Your little cookies on her way over to save her sister as we speak
00:54:05And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go if anything happens to her that's up to you
00:54:12Sign the papers
00:54:15And this all goes away like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away
00:54:24Hmm deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved
00:54:28Don't they I always knew you were soft
00:54:31But this throwing away a billion-dollar inheritance for some chef. He's not throwing it away

00:54:41All we need is a signature Jack
00:54:45You care too much Jackie boy

00:55:23Remember your training
00:55:26Protect your face

00:55:58I've traced the video feed to the star at motel sir room 115
00:56:02Lauren's called the police already done. But sir, they're at least 20 minutes out. She doesn't have 20 minutes
00:56:14No, no, no Lauren, she's there Louie's there
