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.
00:02:42Asshole.
00:03:00Please.
00:03:01Oh, God.
00:03:02Don't scream.
00:03:03Don't scream, baby.
00:03:04Or do you know what's next?
00:03:06Scream for me.
00:03:07Please.
00:03:09Hey.
00:03:10No.
00:03:11No.
00:03:12Hey, wait.
00:03:38Not now, Werner.
00:03:39Jack, my man.
00:03:40Que paso?
00:03:41So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:42When are you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:43The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:44Yeah.
00:03:45Yeah, come on.
00:03:46Are you even listening?
00:03:47I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:03:48And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:03:49Are you going to be that guy?
00:03:50No.
00:03:51No.
00:03:52No.
00:03:53No.
00:03:54No.
00:03:55No.
00:03:56No.
00:03:57No.
00:03:58No.
00:03:59No.
00:04:00No.
00:04:01No.
00:04:02No.
00:04:03No.
00:04:04No.
00:04:05No.
00:04:06No.
00:04:07Um.
00:04:10How can I help my mom?
00:04:12When 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're locked 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.
00:04:36And I've got just the plan.
00:04:45Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:55How am I going to find her again?
00:04:57You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:06Are you out of your mind? Vivian and I are done. Never again. She's just business now.
00:05:12Very well, sir. Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:17I'll find another wife.
00:05:19I'm afraid not. But 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.
00:05:55Don't complain about anything.
00:05:59I don't complain. I don't.
00:06:01All I'm saying is, you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:05I am living in the real world.
00:06:12Really? Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world?
00:06:17Creative differences.
00:06:19There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:24Lily!
00:06:26You've got to open up your own place.
00:06:28You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:30So you've got to show the world what you've got.
00:06:33Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:36But without yours, we're never going to 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?
00:06:51It's stable. Health 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?
00:07:13Fine. Yeah, you're right.
00:07:16Let's do it.
00:07:21Hi.
00:07:42Hi.
00:07:44Name?
00:07:46Lily Downing.
00:07:48Can I help you?
00:07:50Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:52My sister is Megan. She works here.
00:07:55Last place of employment?
00:07:57Chez Francois.
00:07:59A restaurant?
00:08:00Yes, I'm a chef. My passion is 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?
00:08:15I just need a job.
00:08:18Sorry, I'm...
00:08:19Thanks. We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:23You can go now. Bye-bye.
00:08:34Screw this!
00:08:38Fuck!
00:08:48What are you looking at?
00:08:57I'm sorry, mom. I've tried everything and I've let you down.
00:09:01You?
00:09:04Me.
00:09:08You dropped something.
00:09:10How did you...
00:09:15What are you doing here?
00:09:17I have a proposition for you.
00:09:20Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:24Well, hold on. Just hear me out.
00:09:26I 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
00:10:00with some very important people involved
00:10:02and I 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.
00:10:30Money, a place to live,
00:10:32complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:35Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:42Wow.
00:10:44Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:48It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:11:02You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:04My own wing?
00:11:05Complete privacy.
00:11:07But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:09Play the happy wife.
00:11:32This is, um...
00:11:35specific.
00:11:37Specific?
00:11:39I like clarity.
00:11:49Wife agrees to perform.
00:11:55Very specific.
00:11:58Is there a problem?
00:12:01Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:04What's going on here?
00:12:15I'm saying yes.
00:12:26To everything.
00:12:34To everything.
00:12:42Do you, Jack Thorne...
00:12:46This is insane.
00:12:48Shut up, boy.
00:12:50...take Lily Dunin to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:12:53This is fucking nuts.
00:12:55Shut the fuck up.
00:12:57I do.
00:12:59I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:29I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:48This marriage, it's...
00:13:51it's just a contract.
00:13:54Well...
00:13:56I think that the contract says that...
00:14:00this is my room.
00:14:09But...
00:14:11Good night, husband.
00:14:24And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:28And the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:41And we have the west wing library and the east wing pool.
00:14:49How do you find anything in here?
00:14:52One of ducks, madam.
00:15:03And this room is the...
00:15:07Oh, dear.
00:15:10Would you excuse me?
00:15:12Of course.
00:15:13Apologies.
00:15:22What are you doing here?
00:15:53Hey.
00:16:12Oh, my gosh.
00:16:18Problem?
00:16:20This is...
00:16:22a lot.
00:16:24The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions,
00:16:27including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:30I can't accept this.
00:16:32You can, and you won't.
00:16:34Unless 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.
00:16:51Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:54Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:06And then I said,
00:17:08if you want me to cut this steak,
00:17:10I don't need a knife.
00:17:12I need a chainsaw.
00:17:14And then I said,
00:17:16if you want me to cut this steak,
00:17:18I don't need a knife.
00:17:19I need a chainsaw.
00:17:20Okay.
00:17:22Jackie, there you are.
00:17:24Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:27We simply must celebrate.
00:17:30I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:33That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:37I can think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:44My God, this 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.
00:18:04Whatever it was.
00:18:06Excuse me.
00:18:09So, what you got to say?
00:18:12Watch out for the axe.
00:18:18As I was saying...
00:18:41You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:19:11Wow.
00:19:13Good?
00:19:14Surprisingly good.
00:19:16Surprisingly good?
00:19:19Well, payment for spying.
00:19:22Payment accepted.
00:19:24You know, a house this grand,
00:19:27I 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.
00:19:41I'm sorry.
00:19:47You can go now.
00:20:03You, um, wanted to see me?
00:20:07Time for your first lesson.
00:20:09My what?
00:20:14Self-defense.
00:20:16Never know when you might need it.
00:20:18I don't know if that's really...
00:20:20Number one. Stance.
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.
00:20:46I'm not really good at this.
00:20:49We're just getting started.
00:20:51Oh.
00:20:54Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:57Rule number one.
00:21:00Stance.
00:21:02Right?
00:21:08Okay.
00:21:32Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:34I, um...
00:21:36Expense?
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?
00:21:52The 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...
00:22:12This doesn't change anything.
00:22:14Of course not.
00:22:21This 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.
00:22:37I 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?
00:23:12Because it seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...
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 fooling me.
00:23:37Get out.
00:23:59Get out.
00:24:30I love you.
00:24:31I love you, too.
00:25:00Oh, no.
00:25:02God.
00:25:23Jack, darling.
00:25:25Jack, darling.
00:25:27Fancy seeing you here.
00:25:29Vivienne?
00:25:30The 82 crystal.
00:25:32Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:34I can still feel it running down my back, just thinking about it.
00:25:38We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:41Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:43You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:49Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:51This must be so boring for you.
00:25:54You're so insightful, Vivienne.
00:25:56You do bore me.
00:25:58Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:26:01Why don't you go back to, like, chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:26:05So, basically, you know the company way that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:09I had a business meeting with Hannah today,
00:26:11and she has basically advised me to say that our investments are not making any profit.
00:26:15The company itself isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:18So, my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:21My proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:39Quite the whirlwind romance you've got there.
00:26:42What's the catch?
00:26:44There's always a catch.
00:26:46Excuse me.
00:26:47Rebecca Chen. Social 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, uh, business deals.
00:27:00Hmm. What 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.
00:27:14We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:17I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:29The 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.
00:27:40They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:43You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:45Did I?
00:27:49At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:51To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:56Whatever.
00:27:59Huh.
00:28:09Nice. Real mature.
00:28:14No, don't.
00:28:18Okay. Okay, fine.
00:28:21You wanna go?
00:28:22Nope.
00:28:25No, no, please.
00:28:29Okay, can we?
00:28:31No.
00:28:32Yeah?
00:28:33No, no, no, no.
00:28:35Let go!
00:28:36No.
00:28:37Ah!
00:28:38Nope.
00:28:39No!
00:28:40Ow!
00:28:58Yeah?
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.
00:29:26It's the girl, isn't it?
00:29:28The waitress.
00:29:29You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:32And I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:34Oh, I've done my part.
00:29:36That'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? Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.
00:29:46You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack.
00:29:50You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:52I've just begun.
00:29:57I've got it.
00:30:10Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:30:14I live here.
00:30:16Of course you do.
00:30:18Okay, thanks.
00:30:22Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study?
00:30:25We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:27Yeah.
00:30:32Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal?
00:30:39Vivian?
00:30:43Remember Tokyo? That sake bar?
00:30:46I'm married.
00:30:49Oh, you know.
00:30:51I hadn't noticed.
00:30:53Uh-oh.
00:30:55You know that feeling?
00:30:57When you leave the house
00:30:59and you just feel like
00:31:01you've forgotten something?
00:31:11I forgot something.
00:31:14Maybe you can
00:31:17help me figure it out?
00:31:20Coffee?
00:31:23Oh, no thank you.
00:31:25Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:28Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:31Do you, Jack?
00:31:33Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:35I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:38And he just absolutely laps up
00:31:42every drop of my coffee.
00:31:46Of my coffee.
00:31:48Isn't that right?
00:31:50Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:58So,
00:32:00how's Vivian?
00:32:02Focus on your form.
00:32:04You know, I was just wondering
00:32:07how long the two of you...
00:32:08Ancient history.
00:32:10That's not what I heard.
00:32:12From who?
00:32:13Around.
00:32:16Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:18You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:20And you'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
00:32:38that 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.
00:33:08Yeah.
00:33:14I'm sorry.
00:33:16I'm sorry.
00:33:18I'm sorry.
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?
00:33:52That weirdo?
00:33:59Is he gone?
00:34:00I think he's gone.
00:34:10You sure?
00:34:17You like that?
00:34:21I think your technique could use some work.
00:34:24They got the dota rights.
00:34:28Sure, that wasn't me.
00:34:47What?
00:34:53Of course.
00:34:54And I think the real challenge is market penetration
00:34:56and emerging economies.
00:34:58I'm sure Jax brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:35:02Actually, I...
00:35:04Tell me.
00:35:05What's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:08I think...
00:35:11No comment?
00:35:12How surprising.
00:35:14No comment?
00:35:15How surprising.
00:35:16Excuse me.
00:35:18Great thinking, Lily.
00:35:20All of our drinks could use a refill.
00:35:44Love you.
00:35:53But this thing isn't going to last forever, Jack.
00:35:56I don't know.
00:35:58I mean, what choice do you have?
00:36:00Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:36:02Unless you want to lose this deal forever.
00:36:07Lunch?
00:36:10I was just on my way out.
00:36:15Think about it, Jack.
00:36:24What was that about?
00:36:26Nothing. Just business.
00:36:28Just business. Of course.
00:36:31Lily, wait.
00:36:37What do you want, Jack?
00:36:44What do you want?
00:37:00Taking you on a holiday.
00:37:02What? You have time for that?
00:37:05A lot of time.
00:37:08Just us?
00:37:10I know what I want.
00:37:14What about...
00:37:16What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:18That 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...
00:37:34serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:37Really?
00:37:40I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.
00:37:43I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.
00:37:47Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:49Safe. Thank you.
00:37:51Would you like me to cancel the trips?
00:37:56Yeah.
00:37:58Very good.
00:38:00Who sent the message?
00:38:02Vivian Chase.
00:38:04Vivian Chase.
00:38:09Lil' Bae, I'm sorry.
00:38:10Don't. Please.
00:38:11It's just business.
00:38:12It's business, yeah. I get it.
00:38:25Lil' Bae, I shouldn't...
00:38:26Just shut up and...

00:38:37Incredible?

00:38:46Mm-hmm?

00:38:51No.
00:38:53Let the food...

00:39:05How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:21Oh!
00:39:22Oh, my God.
00:39:24What was that?
00:39:34Any enemies?
00:39:36Business rivals?
00:39:38No one comes to mind.
00:39:41Security cameras?
00:39:43Being installed as we speak.
00:39:55Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:57Sorry.

00:48:22something it did only what happened between us was for the transaction
00:48:28that's all any of this ever was that's not true and you know it do I
00:48:36because from where I'm standing you got everything that you wanted you got a

00:48:49going on here with the business deal and your inheritance anything more to
