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 fairy tale 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 won't tell us about, Jack?
00:01:11Jack?
00:01:13Jack?
00:01:15Hello?
00:01:17Yeah, the dog.
00:01:21Hi.
00:01:24Hi.
00:01:29You ordered the special?
00:01:31Actually, I-
00:01:33Trust me.
00:01:34Who is that girl?
00:01:37Something about her.
00:01:39It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:41Well, that was presumptuous.
00:01:43Huh?
00:01:44The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?
00:01:46Don't tell me you're actually impressed by that little slut, Jack.
00:01:49It looks good.
00:01:51The food or the waitress?
00:02:01And what do you think you are doing?
00:02:03I'm making something from this century.
00:02:05You know what?
00:02:06That's it.
00:02:07I've had enough.
00:02:08You are fired.
00:02:09Get out of here.
00:02:10Not this again.
00:02:11What did you say?
00:02:13I 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.
00:02:20Get 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.
00:02:31They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:36Yeah, the trash.
00:02:41Asshole.
00:02:51Please.
00:02:52Don't scream.
00:02:53Don't scream, baby.
00:02:55Or do you want to scream for me?
00:02:57Please.
00:03:02Hey.
00:03:06No.
00:03:07No.
00:03:08No.
00:03:10No.
00:03:11No.
00:03:12No.
00:03:13No.
00:03:14No.
00:03:15No.
00:03:16No.
00:03:17No.
00:03:18No.
00:03:20Hey, wait.
00:03:43Not now, weren't I?
00:03:46Jack, my man.
00:03:47Que paso?
00:03:48What's up?
00:03:49So I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:52When you gonna unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:53The deal of a lifetime isn't gonna wait forever.
00:03:56Yeah.
00:03:57Yeah, come on.
00:03:58Are you even listening?
00:03:59I 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?
00:04:10How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:14Maybe next time.
00:04:18Thanks.
00:04:20Call me.
00:04:21I'll call you back.
00:04:22Jack, come on.
00:04:23You gotta lock on me.
00:04:24Jack's never done that before.
00:04:26If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:31We're over.
00:04:33Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:37I've got just the plan.
00:04:39Come on.
00:04:45Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:55How am I gonna find her again?
00:05:03You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:06You out of your mind?
00:05:07Vivian and I are done.
00:05:08Never again.
00:05:09She's just business now.
00:05:12Very well, sir.
00:05:14Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:17I'll find another wife.
00:05:19I'm afraid not.
00:05:20But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:24You 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.
00:05:37And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.
00:05:43Especially your wife.
00:05:45Or I lose everything.
00:05:47Everything.
00:05:58Don't complain about anything.
00:06:00I don't complain. I don't.
00:06:02All I'm saying is, you're gonna have to start living in the real world.
00:06:05I am living in the real world.
00:06:12Really?
00:06:13Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:17Creative differences.
00:06:19There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:23Lily.
00:06:25You gotta open up your own place.
00:06:27You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:29So you gotta show the world what you got.
00:06:32Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:35But without yours, we're never gonna be able to afford mom's operation.
00:06:40Yeah, and it'll be all my fault.
00:06:43Lily.
00:06:46There is an opening at my office.
00:06:49Seriously?
00:06:50It's stable.
00:06:52Health insurance. 401K.
00:06:54I'd rather die.
00:06:55You'd rather be broke.
00:06:56No, I'd rather...
00:07:03How can you help mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:12Fine, yeah, you're right.
00:07:14Let's do it.
00:07:33Hi.
00:07:36Name?
00:07:38Lily Dunning.
00:07:40Can I help you?
00:07:42Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:44My sister's Megan.
00:07:45She works here.
00:07:47Last place of employment?
00:07:49Chez Francois.
00:07:51A restaurant?
00:07:52Yes, I'm a chef.
00:07:54My mom's a cook.
00:07:56I'm a cook.
00:07:58I'm a cook.
00:08:00I'm a chef.
00:08:02My passion's cooking, so 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?
00:08:14I just need a job.
00:08:17Sorry, I'm...
00:08:19Thanks.
00:08:20We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:23You can go now.
00:08:25Bye-bye.
00:08:31Ah!
00:08:33Screw this!
00:08:37Fuck!
00:08:48What are you looking at?!
00:08:56I'm sorry, mom.
00:08:58I've tried everything, and I've let you down.
00:09:00You?
00:09:04Me.
00:09:08You dropped something.
00:09:10How did you...?
00:09:14What are you doing here?
00:09:17I have a proposition for you.
00:09:19Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:23Well, hold on. Just hear me out.
00:09:25I heard you get fired.
00:09:28I know you don't have any money.
00:09:31Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.
00:09:33I'm doing fine, thank you.
00:09:36Really?
00:09:39What if I told you this proposition could solve all 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.
00:10:17What, you think I'm good at walking away?
00:10:21Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:23Well, anything you want.
00:10:25Money.
00:10:26A place to live.
00:10:28Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:31Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:41Wow.
00:10:44Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:47Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:51It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:11:04You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:06My own wing?
00:11:07Complete privacy.
00:11:09But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:11Play the happy wife.
00:11:17Okay.
00:11:34This is, um...
00:11:38Specific.
00:11:40I like clarity.
00:11:48Wife agrees to perform.
00:11:54Very specific.
00:11:58Is there a problem?
00:12:01Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:05What's going on here?
00:12:08No.
00:12:14I'm saying yes.
00:12:25To everything.
00:12:37To everything.
00:12:46This is insane.
00:12:48Shut up, Warren.
00:12:53This is fucking nuts.
00:12:55Shut the fuck up.
00:12:57I do.
00:13:07I do.
00:13:37I do.
00:13:48This marriage, it's...
00:13:51It's just a contract.
00:13:57Well...
00:13:59I think that the contract says that...
00:14:03This is my room.
00:14:07What?
00:14:13Good night, husband.
00:14:25And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:29And the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:38And we have the west wing library and the east wing pool.
00:14:46How do you find anything in here?
00:14:49One of dots, madam.
00:14:59And this room is the, um...
00:15:03Oh, dear.
00:15:06Would you excuse me?
00:15:08Of course.
00:15:09Apologies.
00:15:33What are you doing here?
00:16:03Oh, my gosh.
00:16:09Problem?
00:16:12This is...
00:16:14A lot.
00:16:16The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions.
00:16:19Including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:22I... I can't accept this.
00:16:24You can. And you won't.
00:16:26I can't.
00:16:28I can't.
00:16:30I... I can't accept this.
00:16:32You can. And you won't.
00:16:35Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:42You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:44Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:47Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:49Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:00Hi.
00:17:05And then I said, do you want me to do it again?
00:17:08No.
00:17:09No.
00:17:10No.
00:17:11No.
00:17:12No.
00:17:13No.
00:17:14And then I said, do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:17I don't need a knife. I need a chainsaw.
00:17:19Oh, okay.
00:17:21Jackie, there you are.
00:17:24Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:26We simply must celebrate.
00:17:29Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:32That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:36I can think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:44My God.
00:17:45This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:48I'm sorry, but I didn't even do anything.
00:17:52Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:54Waitstaff Training School?
00:17:56Vivian.
00:17:58Oh, that was it.
00:18:00She was actually a waitress.
00:18:02Or, I don't remember, whatever it was.
00:18:06Excuse me.
00:18:09So, what you got to say?
00:18:12Watch out for the axe.
00:18:18So, as I was saying...
00:18:42You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:46Wow.
00:19:10Wow.
00:19:12Good?
00:19:13Surprisingly good.
00:19:14Surprisingly good?
00:19:15Surprisingly good.
00:19:18Well, payment for spying.
00:19:21Payment accepted.
00:19:23You know, a house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:32I had to make do.
00:19:34Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:36It's a shame.
00:19:45You can go now.
00:20:02You, um, wanted to see me?
00:20:06Time for your first lesson.
00:20:08My what?
00:20:14Self-defense.
00:20:16Never know when you might need it.
00:20:18I don't know if that's really...
00:20:19Number one.
00:20:20Stance.
00:20:23Move the feet apart.
00:20:25Bend this knee.
00:20:27Yep.
00:20:28Then move this foot forward.
00:20:30Good.
00:20:31Okay.
00:20:32Now, hands up.
00:20:34Protect the face.
00:20:36Okay.
00:20:38Now, like this.
00:20:40Oh, God, sorry.
00:20:45I'm not really good at this.
00:20:49We're just getting started.
00:20:51Oh.
00:20:53Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:57Rule number one.
00:20:59Stance.
00:21:01Right?
00:21:14Okay.
00:21:31Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:33I, um...
00:21:35A business expense?
00:21:38Business expense.
00:21:40These are...
00:21:42The best knives in the market.
00:21:44The best knives to the best chef?
00:21:49Why are you doing this?
00:21:51The contract.
00:21:52No.
00:21:54The real reason.
00:21:56Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:22:01Maybe...
00:22:04You just like watching me.
00:22:09You know that, um...
00:22:12This doesn't change anything.
00:22:14Of course not.
00:22:20This is for your mother.
00:22:27The...
00:22:28No, this is too much.
00:22:29This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:32At least I can do it.
00:22:33At least I can do it.
00:22:37I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
00:22:41What's the catch?
00:22:54We've got a problem.
00:22:56Morning to you, too.
00:22:57So, the inheritance release date is set, but...
00:23:00If anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:23:02No one's gonna find out.
00:23:03Oh, really?
00:23:04Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:23:07It's under control.
00:23:08Is it?
00:23:12It seems like you're letting your feelings control you.
00:23:14I said it's handled.
00:23:26Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:29This Morrison deal...
00:23:31Is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:35Don't tell me you're actually for...
00:23:36Get out.
00:24:00Get out.
00:24:30Get out.
00:24:31Get out.
00:25:01Oh, no.
00:25:03God.
00:25:14Jack, darling.
00:25:15I've been wanting to see you here.
00:25:16I thought we'd talk it over.
00:25:17I thought we'd talk it over.
00:25:18I know.
00:25:19I know.
00:25:20I know.
00:25:21But I can't.
00:25:22I can't.
00:25:23I can't.
00:25:24I can't.
00:25:25I can't.
00:25:26I can't.
00:25:27I can't.
00:25:28I can't.
00:25:29But I'm seeing you here.
00:25:31Vivian?
00:25:32The 82 crystal.
00:25:34Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:37I can still feel it running down my back,
00:25:39just thinking about it.
00:25:41We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:44Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:45You'll never believe what Hannah said
00:25:47about 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, Vivian.
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,
00:26:05chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:26:08So basically, you know the company way
00:26:10that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:12I had a business meeting with Hannah today
00:26:13and she has basically advised me to say
00:26:15that our investments are not making any profit,
00:26:18that me, myself, isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:20So my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:30Huh.
00:26:39Quite the whirlwind romance you've got there.
00:26:42What's the catch?
00:26:45There's always a catch.
00:26:46Excuse me, I...
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.
00:26:57Though lately I've been more interested
00:26:58in business deals.
00:27:01Hmm, what would you say?
00:27:04Love at first sight or something more contractual?
00:27:09You 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.
00:27:29Oh, the Morrison Foundation dinner's tonight.
00:27:31Oh, great, another dinner.
00:27:33It's important.
00:27:34They're all important.
00:27:36It's a part of the deal.
00:27:38They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:41You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:43Did I?
00:27:46At least Vivian will be there to talk deals
00:27:50and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:54Whatever.
00:27:56Hmm.
00:27:57Nice.
00:27:58Real mature.
00:28:02No, don't.
00:28:06Okay.
00:28:07Okay, fine.
00:28:08You wanna go?
00:28:10Nope.
00:28:10Ah!
00:28:11Ah!
00:28:12Ah!
00:28:13Ah!
00:28:14Ah!
00:28:15Ah!
00:28:16Ah!
00:28:16Ah!
00:28:17Ah!
00:28:18Ah!
00:28:19Ah!
00:28:20Ah!
00:28:21Ah!
00:28:21Ah!
00:28:22Ah!
00:28:23Ah!
00:28:24Ah!
00:28:26No, no, please.
00:28:27Ah!
00:28:30Okay, can we?
00:28:31No, no, no.
00:28:32Yeah, yeah?
00:28:33No, no, no, no.
00:28:34No, no, no, no.
00:28:35No.
00:28:36Let go!
00:28:36No.
00:28:37Ah!
00:28:38No.
00:28:39Ah!
00:28:40Ah!
00:28:41Ah!
00:28:42Ah!
00:28:42Ah!
00:28:55Ah!
00:28:56Ah!
00:29:00Ah!
00:29:04Ah!
00:29:08Ah!
00:29:09Ah!
00:29:11Yeah.
00:29:17So Jack's inheritance is all set,
00:29:20but he still hasn't signed the papers
00:29:21to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:24that's a problem. It's the girl isn't it? The waitress. You and I both know she's
00:29:31been a problem from the start. I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:34Oh I've done my part. That's the other way and I thought you'd have your part under
00:29:39control. I have everything under control. Oh really? Because it doesn't seem like it
00:29:46Vivian. You know maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack. You haven't
00:29:51overestimated anything. I've just begun.
00:29:58I've got it.
00:30:10Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door. I live here.
00:30:16Of course we do. Okay thanks. Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study? We need to
00:30:26discuss the Morrison deal. Yeah? Yeah.
00:30:33Well we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:38Vivian? Remember Tokyo? That sake bar? I'm married.
00:30:49Are you now? I hadn't noticed. You know that feeling when you leave the house
00:30:59and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:31:08I forgot something. Maybe you can help me figure it out?
00:31:22Coffee? Oh no thank you. Jack and I have much to catch up on. Oh and Jack doesn't
00:31:32drink coffee. Do you Jack? Actually I've taken it up recently. I guess before me
00:31:37Jack never really had coffee how he liked it and he just absolutely laps up
00:31:43every drop of my coffee. Isn't that right? Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:54Hmm. So how's Vivian? Focus on your form. You know just wondering how long the two
00:32:08of you... Ancient history. That's not what I heard. From who? Around. Tokyo gets
00:32:16brought up a lot. You've been talking to Warren. You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:22That's business. Everything is business with you isn't it? But you know what?
00:32:32What's this? Some pretty big business that you haven't been sharing with me.
00:32:40I think Vivian wants some of it too. But you know what? Maybe you should just keep
00:32:48your business to yourself. Sad. Watch your stance.
00:32:55I don't want to be lied to. I'm not lying Lily.
00:33:05Don't break my heart. Yeah.
00:33:18You know what? I'm not going to break your heart.
00:33:20Yeah, the sky is so gray today, I hate it so much.
00:33:47Please act like you know me.
00:33:48There's someone following me.
00:33:49Oh my god, are you okay?
00:33:51Who's following you?
00:33:53That weirdo?
00:34:00Is he gone?
00:34:01I think he's gone.
00:34:11You sure?
00:34:12Yeah.
00:34:18Like that?
00:34:22I think your technique could use some work.
00:34:25I got the dota rights.
00:34:29Sure that wasn't me.
00:34:42What?
00:34:56Of course.
00:34:57And I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies.
00:35:01I'm sure Jax brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:35:04Um, actually, I...
00:35:07Tell me, what's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:10Um, I think...
00:35:13Oh, no comment?
00:35:15How surprising.
00:35:17Excuse me.
00:35:18Great thinking, Lily.
00:35:20All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:44Love you.
00:35:54But this thing isn't going to 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?
00:36:11I was just on my way out.
00:36:16Think about it, Jack.
00:36:25What was that about?
00:36:27Nothing.
00:36:28Just business.
00:36:29Just business.
00:36:30Of course.
00:36:32Lily, wait.
00:36:38What do you want, Jack?
00:36:40Nothing.
00:37:00Taking you on a holiday.
00:37:01What?
00:37:02You have time for that?
00:37:05A lot of time.
00:37:08Just us?
00:37:09I know what I want.
00:37:14Oh, what about, um...
00:37:16What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:18I can wait.
00:37:22There she is.
00:37:24What?
00:37:25That smile.
00:37:27It's the one you had when I first laid eyes on you.
00:37:30I'll never forget it.
00:37:32You know that I don't just, um...
00:37:34Serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:37Really?
00:37:38Mm-hmm.
00:37:43I'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.
00:38:00Good.
00:38:02Who sent the message?
00:38:04They didn't chase.
00:38:09Lil' Bae, I'm sorry.
00:38:11Don't. Please.
00:38:12It's just business.
00:38:13It's business, yeah.
00:38:14I get it.
00:38:25Lil' Bae, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:27Just shut up and...
00:38:29Taste this.
00:38:38Mm.
00:38:39This tastes, uh...
00:38:40Incredible?
00:38:41Yeah.
00:38:42Yeah, I know.
00:38:47Jack?
00:38:48Mm-hmm?
00:38:50Do you want more?
00:38:52Um, after this one.
00:38:53No.
00:38:55Let the food...
00:38:57Jack.
00:39:00Talk about us.
00:39:02How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:19Oh!
00:39:20Oh, my God.
00:39:22What was that?
00:39:32Any enemies?
00:39:34Business rivals?
00:39:37No one comes to mind.
00:39:39Security cameras?
00:39:42Being installed as we speak.
00:39:53Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:55Sorry.
00:39:58I thought I saw you.
00:40:00Thought I saw...
00:40:05Aroid.
00:40:06You okay?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:18Yeah.
00:40:22This 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.
00:40:33Sorry.
00:40:35What, are you afraid that someone's gonna hear...
00:40:37About our perfect marriage?
00:40:46What are you hiding from me?
00:40:51Hey.
00:40:53Hey, you know that secret room...
00:40:55That you didn't want me to find?
00:40:59I found it.
00:41:02Yeah?
00:41:07Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:14Do you wanna see it?
00:41:16Show me.
00:41:29Okay.
00:41:45Most people run.
00:41:47I'm not most people.
00:41:52So...
00:41:56This is what you're into?
00:41:58Among other things.
00:41:59And all of those...
00:42:03Specific...
00:42:04Requirements?
00:42:05We're about to scare you off.
00:42:07I don't scare you, Sam.
00:42:09I'm starting to get that.
00:42:16Show me.
00:42:18You sure?
00:42:20Are you?
00:42:27No.
00:42:58So?
00:43:01So.
00:43:08Sir, Miss Chase is here.
00:43:10She says it's urgent.
00:43:12Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there.
00:43:15Final deal points.
00:43:16Jack's leaving in 30.
00:43:17I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:22Lily, wait.
00:43:23Lily, wait.
00:43:26Just go.
00:43:54The way I can explain.
00:43:57Can you?
00:44:01Guess them business can't wait.
00:44:12This whole thing is...
00:44:14Let me get this straight.
00:44:16You sleep with them.
00:44:17And then?
00:44:19And then what?
00:44:20Let me get this straight.
00:44:21You sleep with them.
00:44:22And then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:25That'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?
00:44:35Huh? 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 it.
00:44:58Lily?
00:44:59Stand back.
00:45:00What?
00:45:01Stand back, Megan.
00:45:05Kid, kid, kid, kid, kid.
00:45:08Lily!
00:45:13Go for the fucker!
00:45:14Fucker!
00:45:16Oh my God!
00:45:17Fuck you!
00:45:19Come on, let's go.
00:45:26What was that?
00:45:28Lessons with Jack.
00:45:30Jack taught you that?
00:45:31Yeah, yeah.
00:45:33Dude's getting better by a minute.
00:45:35I know.
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.
00:45:52Oh, honey.
00:45:53Kid.
00:46:18He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:33Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:36How could you?
00:46:4211 months.
00:46:44I'm gonna miss you.
00:46:4511 months?
00:46:47Almost a year.
00:46:50We're barely newlyweds anymore.
00:47:03Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:47:05I'm all ears.
00:47:07It's about the deal.
00:47:08About Lauren, Vivian.
00:47:10Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:13Oh, great.
00:47:15The press.
00:47:26These aren't real.
00:47:27Real?
00:47:28Oh, my sisters say they're very real.
00:47:31Story runs in 48 hours.
00:47:33Lily, this is what I was just about to tell you.
00:47:35I've been set up.
00:47:38Care to comment, Mr. Thorne?
00:47:42You know, it's funny, I...
00:47:43For a minute, I really believed.
00:47:47Lily, wait.
00:47:50They're not real.
00:47:53Tick tock, Mr. Thorne.
00:48:05Lily, wait.
00:48:08They're not real.
00:48:10You have to believe me.
00:48:11Like I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal?
00:48:15Like I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague?
00:48:20Like I believed that last night actually meant something?
00:48:23It did.
00:48:25Lily, what happened between us was...
00:48:26The transaction.
00:48:29That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:32That's not true.
00:48:33And you know it.
00:48:34Do I?
00:48:37Because from where I'm standing,
00:48:38you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:40You got a wife when you needed one.
00:48:42And a body when you wanted one.
00:48:44Lily, that's not it.
00:48:46Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:47Tell me that there's not something more going on here.
00:48:50With the business deal.
00:48:51And your inheritance.
00:48:53Anything more to explain?
00:49:01That's what I thought.
00:49:06You're a terrorist.
00:49:08You're a terrible person.
00:49:11If you leave now, you violate the contract.
00:49:14You get nothing.
00:49:16I don't care.
00:49:19I never cared about any of that.
00:49:39Hands up.
00:49:41Protect the face.
00:49:43No, don't.
00:49:46Go?
00:49:47No.
00:49:56Morn.
00:49:57Finally, look.
00:49:59About the Morrison deal.
00:50:00It's off.
00:50:01What do you mean it's off?
00:50:03All of it.
00:50:04The deal.
00:50:05The inheritance.
00:50:06I 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...
00:50:15I think I've heard it.
00:50:38You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:41Watch me.
00:50:56Hey.
00:50:58What happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:01I don't know.
00:51:03I don't know.
00:51:04Hey.
00:51:05What happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:09The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:12She played.
00:51:13Did she?
00:51:19If that's Jack, I'm sure that's just my oxygenarian neighbor who's a total drama queen.
00:51:23Watch.
00:51:25Gladys?
00:51:29Gladys, is that you?
00:51:31Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:34No.
00:51:39Sir.
00:51:40Coffee.
00:51:42Hi.
00:51:43I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:46You might want to see this.
00:51:51What am I looking at here?
00:51:53Wire transfers, shell companies.
00:51:56All leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:58More.
00:52:00I knew it.
00:52:01You might want to see these too, sir.
00:52:02They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:08Son of a bitch.
00:52:10He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:11He sure is.
00:52:13All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:52:17Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial.
00:52:33Sir?
00:52:35They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:37Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:40Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:42Every meeting, every call.
00:52:43Already compiled, sir.
00:52:44I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:46Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:48Some things are worth more than money.
00:53:02You're calling back, Megan?
00:53:32Oh, my God.
00:53:54I got us into this.
00:53:56I can get us out of this.
00:53:57Oh, I can do this.
00:53:58Oh, I can do this.
00:54:00Your little cookie's 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.
00:54:08If anything happens to her, that's up to you.
00:54:12Sign the papers.
00:54:15And this all goes away.
00:54:18Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.
00:54:24Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:54:27Don't they?
00:54:29I always knew you were soft.
00:54:31But this?
00:54:33Throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef.
00:54:36He's not throwing it away.
00:54:38He's giving it to us.
00:54:41All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:45You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:48Always have.
00:54:52I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:57Wait.
00:54:59What?
00:55:18Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:24Remember your training.
00:55:27Protect your face.
00:55:30Megan!
00:55:32Lily!
00:55:36Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:39Please, come on.
00:55:41Come on.
00:55:46Of course it's a trap.
00:55:49The question is,
00:55:52what are you gonna do about it?
00:55:54Lily!
00:55:55Lily!
00:55:58I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:56:01Room 115.
00:56:03Lauren's called the police.
00:56:05Already done, but sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:08She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:15No, no, no, no.
00:56:18Lauren, she's there.
00:56:20Lily's there.
00:56:22Hold on, Lily, hold on.
00:56:37Leave her alone!
00:56:39Shut up!
00:56:41Get away from my wife!
00:56:43Well, well.
00:56:45The hero arrives.
00:56:48Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:50Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:54I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:57That's my girl.
00:57:07I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:09That's for my sister.
00:57:11You son of a bitch.
00:57:17Lily.
00:57:19About everything.
00:57:21The photos.
00:57:23Vivian.
00:57:25Now? Seriously?
00:57:27I love you.
00:57:29Not for any...
00:57:31I love you.
00:57:33I love you.
00:57:35I love you.
00:57:37Not for any inheritance.
00:57:39Not for any deal.
00:57:41Just...
00:57:43you.
00:57:45I know.
00:57:55You, stay right there.
00:57:57Come on, cover me.
00:58:07What the hell?
00:58:12This isn't...
00:58:14Possible.
00:58:17And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.
00:58:20Sign the papers.
00:58:22Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:24That proves nothing.
00:58:26I think it might prove something.
00:58:28Yeah, and those photos that you planted?
00:58:30Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:32You can't.
00:58:34Yes, they can.
00:58:37Come on.
00:58:39You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:41The inheritance, the...
00:58:43Are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:45You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:47I do.
00:58:55Yes, thank you.
00:58:57Thanks.
00:59:01Now that's a story.
00:59:07Here to twist the knife?
00:59:09Actually, I'm here to get it right.
00:59:13Where did you...?
00:59:15Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:17Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:20So, no scandal piece?
00:59:23Oh, there's definitely a scandal.
00:59:26But not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:31That's...
00:59:33actually accurate.
00:59:34I'm a reporter.
00:59:36Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:38Though I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:42Yeah, neither did I.
00:59:45Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:47Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:56The way about the inheritance...
00:59:58You really think I care about any of that now?
01:00:04Just take me home.
01:00:07Yes, dear.
01:00:17Slut's coming up.
01:00:19Must be a new record.
01:00:21It is for me.
01:00:24Any regrets?
01:00:26Only one.
01:00:29That didn't get your chef's special sooner.
01:00:32Could have saved us a lot of trouble.
01:00:34Yeah.
01:00:38Excuse me, sir.
01:00:40Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:42How bad is it?
01:00:44Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:46She's included the last bit you wanted put in.
01:01:00Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:01:03In a shocking turn of events,
01:01:05tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans
01:01:07to transform his inherited fortune
01:01:09into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:12Surprised?
01:01:16But your... your inheritance is gone.
01:01:19My inheritance, yeah.
01:01:21But turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:24You sold the company?
01:01:26Turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:33My turn.
01:01:35I don't know.
01:01:42Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:44Keep them thin, okay? Just like that.
01:02:02This looks good on you.
01:02:05And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:08Suckers.
01:02:10Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:13Depends.
01:02:15Did my wife make it?
01:02:17The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:19Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:27Hang on.
01:02:33Voila.
01:02:38You're the best chef in town.
01:02:41You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:45I think that contract expired.
01:02:48Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:57We are gathered here today...
01:02:59For more business stuff.
01:03:00We are gathered here today...
01:03:02No more business deals this time.
01:03:04Just love.
01:03:06Good.
01:03:08Because I have some terms off my own.
01:03:10First.
01:03:12You have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:14Done.
01:03:16Second.
01:03:18No more locked rooms.
01:03:21Without me in it.
01:03:24Is that all?
01:03:26Third.
01:03:28You have to mean it this time.
01:03:30I meant it the first time.
01:03:32Just didn't know yet.
01:03:34The rings?
01:03:36Actually...
01:03:42Is that...
01:03:44Something old. Something new.
01:03:46Something borrowed.
01:03:48Something...
01:03:50Not mine.
01:03:58For better or worse...
01:04:00For real this time.
01:04:03You make us the bride.
01:04:20So...
01:04:22Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:25What are you...
01:04:28Lauren, tell me back.
01:04:31No!
01:04:35Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:39I don't know...
01:04:41Mr. Thorne.
01:04:45Can you handle them?
01:04:47I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:50How about you just shut up...
01:04:52And kiss your wife?
01:05:00No!
