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?
00:03:48Hey, bro.
00:03:49So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:51When are you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:53The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:56Yeah.
00:03:57Yeah?
00:03:58Come on.
00:03:59Are 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 going to be that guy.
00:04:05Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:06Um.
00:04:09How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:14Maybe next time.
00:04:15Thanks.
00:04:18Call me.
00:04:19I'll call you back.
00:04:20Jack, come on.
00:04:21Look, he hung up on me.
00:04:23Jack's never done that before.
00:04:25If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then
00:04:28the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:30We're over.
00:04:32Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:35I've got just the plan.
00:04:38Yeah.
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.
00:05:10She'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
00:05:27for precisely 365 days.
00:05:29I know, I know.
00:05:30And with that fateful birthday fast approaching,
00:05:32there's little time.
00:05:34The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:37And most crucially of all,
00:05:39you 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...
00:05:59I don't complain.
00:06:01I don't.
00:06:02All I'm saying is,
00:06:03you're gonna have to start living in the real world.
00:06:05I am living in the real world.
00:06:13Really?
00:06:14Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job
00:06:16is the real world.
00:06:17Creative... differences.
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,
00:06:37we'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?
00:06:51It's stable.
00:06:53Health insurance.
00:06:54401K.
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
00:07:06when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:13Fine.
00:07:14Yeah, you're right.
00:07:16Let's do it.
00:07:42Hi.
00:07:44Name?
00:07:46Lily Dunning.
00:07:47Can I help you?
00:07:49Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:51My sister's Megan.
00:07:52She works here.
00:07:54Last place of employment?
00:07:56Chez Francois.
00:07:58A restaurant?
00:07:59Yes, I'm a chef.
00:08:01My passion's cooking, so I...
00:08:03And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:05No.
00:08:07No, of course not.
00:08:09And why do you think someone like you
00:08:12could work here?
00:08:14I just need a job.
00:08:17Sorry, I'm...
00:08:18Thanks.
00:08:19We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:22You can go now.
00:08:24Bye-bye.
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...
00:09:15What 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.
00:09:25Just 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?
00:09:45Solve 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.
00:10:04Okay, so find someone stable.
00:10:06Well, that's just it.
00:10:08I need someone who won't fall in love with me.
00:10:10Someone who will just walk away after the year.
00:10:13And you seem uniquely qualified.
00:10:17I thought you'd think I'm good at walking away.
00:10:25Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:27Well, anything you want.
00:10:29Money.
00:10:30A place to live.
00:10:31Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:34Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:44Wow.
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.
00:11:34This is, um, specific.
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.
00:12:06What's going on here?
00:12:17I'm saying yes.
00:12:28To everything.
00:12:42Do you, Jack Thorne?
00:12:46This is insane.
00:12:48Shut up, boy.
00:12:50Take Lily Dunin to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:53This is fucking nuts.
00:12:55Shut the fuck up.
00:12:57I do.
00:13:00I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:27This marriage, it's just a contract.
00:13:57Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
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.
00:14:42And we have the west wing library and the east wing pool.
00:14:50How do you find anything in here?
00:14:52One of ducks, madam.
00:15:03And this room is the, um...
00:15:07Oh, dear.
00:15:10Would you excuse me?
00:15:12Of course.
00:15:13Apologies.
00:15:43What are you doing here?
00:16:11Oh, my gosh.
00:16:17Problem?
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.
00:16:31You can.
00:16:32And 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.
00:16:58Ready 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.
00:17:20Okay.
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.
00:17:35Right?
00:17:37I can think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:45My God.
00:17:46This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:49I'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 guys have.
00:18:12We're done with the ex.
00:18:18So, as I was saying.
00:18:45You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:19:11Wow.
00:19:13Surprisingly good.
00:19:14Surprisingly good?
00:19:18Well, payment for spying.
00:19:21Payment accepted.
00:19:23You know, the house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:32I had to make do.
00:19:34You know, I never cook.
00:19:37It's a shame.
00:19:46You can go now.
00:20:03You 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.
00:20:46I'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?
00:21:31Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:33A business expense?
00:21:38Business expense.
00:21:41These aren't the 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.
00:22:21This is for your mother.
00:22:27The...
00:22:28No, this is too much.
00:22:29This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:33At 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 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 for...
00:23:36Get out.
00:25:05Oh, no.
00:25:13God.
00:25:28Jack, darling.
00:25:29Fancy seeing you here.
00:25:31Vivienne?
00:25:32The 82 crystal.
00:25:34Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:36I can still feel it running down my back just thinking about it.
00:25:40We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:43Anyway, 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.
00:25:55You're so insightful, Vivienne.
00:25:57You 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?
00:26:07So, 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
00:26:15our investments are not making any profit,
00:26:17the company itself isn't actually doing all too well,
00:26:20so my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:34Why the whirlwind romance you've got there?
00:26:38What's the catch?
00:26:40There's always a catch.
00:26:42Excuse me.
00:26:43Rebecca Chen.
00:26:45Social pages.
00:26:46Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:50This must be some kind of record.
00:26:52Though lately I've been more interested in business deals.
00:26:56Hmm.
00:26:57What would you say?
00:26:59Love at first sight or something more contractual?
00:27:03You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:06Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:13We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:16I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:30The Morrison Foundation dinner's tonight.
00:27:33Oh, great. Another dinner.
00:27:35It's important.
00:27:36They're all important.
00:27:38It's 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 to talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:56Whatever.
00:27:59Yeah.
00:28:09Nice.
00:28:10Real mature.
00:28:14No, don't.
00:28:18Okay.
00:28:19Okay, fine.
00:28:20You wanna go?
00:28:22No.
00:28:25No, no, please.
00:28:30Okay, can we?
00:28:31No.
00:28:32Yeah?
00:28:33No, no, no.
00:28:34Let go!
00:28:35No.
00:28:36Ah!
00:28:37No.
00:28:38No!
00:28:39Ow!
00:29:00Hello?
00:29:10Yeah.
00:29:16So, Jack's inheritance is all set,
00:29:19but he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:23That's a problem.
00:29:25Hmm.
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.
00:29:58I'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.
00:30:19Okay, thanks.
00:30:22Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study?
00:30:25We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:27Yeah.
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:32Well, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:39Vivian?
00:30:42Remember Tokyo?
00:30:44That sake bar?
00:30:46I'm married.
00:30:49Oh, you know.
00:30:51I hadn't noticed.
00:30:53Um...
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?
00:31:22Coffee?
00:31:24Oh, no thank you.
00:31:26Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:29Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:32Do you, Jack?
00:31:34Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:36I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:39And he just absolutely laps up
00:31:43every drop
00:31:45of my coffee.
00:31:48Isn't that right?
00:31:50Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:54Hmm.
00:31:57So...
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.
00:32:15Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:17You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:19You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:22That's business.
00:32:24Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:29But you know what?
00:32:32What's this?
00:32:35Some pretty big business
00:32:37that you haven't been sharing with me.
00:32:40I think Vivian wants some of it, too.
00:32:43But you know what?
00:32:46Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:51Sad.
00:32:52Watch 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.
00:33:22Oh my god.
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?
00:34:17Like that?
00:34:21I think your technique could use some work.
00:34:24They got the dota rights.
00:34:28You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:30What?
00:34:50What?
00:34:56Of course.
00:34:57And I think the real challenge is
00:34:58deep penetration in emerging economies.
00:35:01I'm sure Jax brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:35:05Actually, I...
00:35:07Tell me.
00:35:08What's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:11I think...
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 with a refill.
00:35:44Love you.
00:35:53But this thing isn't gonna 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 wanna lose this deal forever.
00:36:06Lunch?
00:36:10I was just on my way out.
00:36:14Think about it, Jack.
00:36:16What?
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?
00:36:47I'm taking you on a holiday.
00:36:49What?
00:36:50You have time for that?
00:36:53A lot of time.
00:36:56Just us?
00:36:58I know what I want.
00:37:03Oh, what about, um...
00:37:05What about Warren?
00:37:07What about Warren?
00:37:09What about Warren?
00:37:11What about Warren?
00:37:13Oh, what about, um...
00:37:15What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:17I can wait.
00:37:21There she is.
00:37:23What?
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?
00:37:36Really?
00:37:39I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.
00:37:41I've been told to relay that there's a problem
00:37:43back at the office.
00:37:45Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:47Safe. Thank you.
00:37:49Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:54Yeah.
00:37:56Very good.
00:37:58Who sent the message?
00:38:00They didn't chase her.
00:38:02Who sent the message?
00:38:04They didn't chase her.
00:38:09Lil' Bae, I'm sorry.
00:38:10Don't. Please.
00:38:11It's just business.
00:38:12It's business, yeah.
00:38:14I get it.
00:38:24Lil' Bae, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:26Just shut up and...
00:38:28taste this.
00:38:32Mm.
00:38:38Mm. This tastes, uh...
00:38:40Incredible?
00:38:42Yeah.
00:38:44Yeah, I know.
00:38:46Jack?
00:38:48Mm-hmm?
00:38:50Do you want more?
00:38:52Um, after this one.
00:38:54No.
00:38:56Let the food...
00:38:58Jack.
00:39:00about us.
00:39:06How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:22Oh, my God.
00:39:24What was that?
00:39:30What was that?
00:39:34Any enemies?
00:39:36Business rivals?
00:39:38No one comes to mind.
00:39:40Security cameras?
00:39:42Being installed as we speak.
00:39:54Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:56Sorry.
00:39:59That's what I saw.
00:40:04I'm ruined.
00:40:06You okay?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:18Yeah.
00:40:22This is so insane.
00:40:25It's probably just kids.
00:40:27Kids?
00:40:29Seriously?
00:40:31Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:33Oh, sorry.
00:40:35What, are you afraid that someone's gonna hear
00:40:37about our perfect marriage?
00:40:45What are you hiding from me?
00:40:50Hey.
00:40:52Hey, you know that secret room
00:40:54that you didn't want me to find?
00:40:58I found it.
00:41:00Yeah?
00:41:06Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:12Do you want to see it?
00:41:14Show me.
00:41:22Okay.
00:41:44Most people run.
00:41:46I'm not most people.
00:41:49So...
00:41:53This is what you're into?
00:41:55Among other things.
00:41:57And all of those...
00:42:00specific requirements?
00:42:02We're about to scare you off.
00:42:04I don't scare you, son.
00:42:06I'm starting to get that.
00:42:13Show me.
00:42:15You sure?
00:42:17Are you sure?
00:42:19Are you?
00:42:47Yeah.
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
00:43:15Final deal points.
00:43:17Jack's leaving in 13.
00:43:19I packed your bag, and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:22Don't wait.
00:43:25Just go.
00:43:46The way I can explain.
00:43:49Can you?
00:43:53Guess some business can't wait.
00:44:16This whole thing is...
00:44:18Let me get this straight.
00:44:20You sleep with him,
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
00:44:30this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:32What? A mistake?
00:44:34That you were right?
00:44:36Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:38No, I want you to be happy.
00:44:40And are you?
00:44:42I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:44I mean, he paid for Mom's operation,
00:44:46so that's cool, but...
00:44:48I know. And the worst part is,
00:44:50I think I might actually be falling for it.
00:44:57Lily?
00:44:59Stand back.
00:45:00What?
00:45:01Stand back, Megan.
00:45:07Lily!
00:45:10Get it out!
00:45:12Go, motherfucker!
00:45:14Oh my God!
00:45:16Fuck you!
00:45:18Come on, let's go.
00:45:25What was that?
00:45:27Lessons 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.
00:45:39You okay?
00:45:41Yeah.
00:45:43God, things were supposed to be so simple.
00:45:46Now what?
00:45:48I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:51Oh, honey.
00:45:53I'm kidding.
00:46:10He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:31Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:34How could you?
00:46:37Eleven months.
00:46:39Almost a year.
00:46:42I barely knew about Teddy Moore.
00:46:55Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:46:57I'm all ears.
00:46:59I'm sorry.
00:47:02Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:47:04I'm all ears.
00:47:06It's about the deal.
00:47:07About Lauren, Vivian.
00:47:09Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:12Oh, great.
00:47:14The press.
00:47:25These aren't real.
00:47:27Oh, my sisters say they're very real.
00:47:30Story runs in 48 hours.
00:47:32Lily, this is what I was just about to tell you.
00:47:34I've been set up.
00:47:37Care to comment, Mr. Thorne?
00:47:41You know, it's funny.
00:47:43For a minute, I really believed.
00:47:46Lily, wait.
00:47:50They're not real.
00:47:52Tick tock, Mr. Thorne.
00:48:01Lily, wait.
00:48:03They're not real.
00:48:05You have to believe me.
00:48:07Like I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal?
00:48:10Like I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague?
00:48:16Like I believed that last night actually meant something.
00:48:19It did.
00:48:21Lily, what happened between us was real.
00:48:23The transaction.
00:48:25That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:28That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:30That's not true.
00:48:32And you know it.
00:48:34Do I?
00:48:36Because 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.
00:48:48Tell me that there's not something more going on here
00:48:50with the business deal and your inheritance.
00:48:53Anything more to explain?
00:48:58No.
00:49:02That's what I thought.
00:49:06You'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.
00:49:18I never cared about any of that.
00:49:27I'm sorry.
00:49:39Hands up.
00:49:41Protect the face.
00:49:43No, don't.
00:49:45Go?
00:49:47No.
00:49:50Morning.
00:49:52Finally, look.
00:49:54How about the Morrison deal?
00:49:56It's off.
00:49:58What do you mean, it's off?
00:50:00All of it.
00:50:02The deal, the inheritance.
00:50:04I don't want any of it.
00:50:06Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:08I mean, everything that we've worked for.
00:50:10Actually,
00:50:12I think I found it.
00:50:14I think I found it.
00:50:45You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:48Watch me.
00:51:01Hey.
00:51:03What happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:06The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:09She played.
00:51:11Did she?
00:51:14Knock, knock, knock.
00:51:17If that's Jack, I'm sure that's just my oxygenarian neighbor
00:51:20who's a total drama queen.
00:51:22Watch.
00:51:24Gladys?
00:51:27Gladys, is that you?
00:51:29Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:37Sir.
00:51:39Coffee.
00:51:41I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:44You might want to see this.
00:51:50What am I looking at here?
00:51:52Wire transfers, shell companies,
00:51:54all leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:56More.
00:51:58I knew it.
00:52:00You might want to see these too, sir.
00:52:02They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:07Son of a bitch.
00:52:09He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:11He sure is.
00:52:13All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:52:16Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial.
00:52:33Sir?
00:52:34They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:36Perhaps 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.
00:52:43I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:45Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:47Some things are worth more than money.
00:53:02Calling back, Megan?
00:53:06Fuck!
00:53:37Oh, my God.
00:53:44I got us into this.
00:53:46I can get us out of this.
00:53:48Oh, I can do this.
00:53:50Oh, I can do this.
00:53:52Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.
00:53:57And I wouldn't put money on her.
00:53:59I'd rather put my life on the line.
00:54:02Save her sister as we speak.
00:54:05And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.
00:54:07If anything happens to her, that's up to you.
00:54:12Sign the papers.
00:54:15And this all goes away.
00:54:17Like 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?
00:54:32Throwing away a billion-dollar inheritance for some chef?
00:54:35He's not throwing it away.
00:54:38He's giving it to us.
00:54:40All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:44You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:47Always have.
00:54:52I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:54Hmm.
00:54:56Wait.
00:55:01What?
00:55:16Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:22Remember your training.
00:55:25Protect your face.
00:55:28No!
00:55:30Megan!
00:55:31Lenny!
00:55:35Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:38Please, come on.
00:55:40Come on.
00:55:45Of course it's a trap.
00:55:48The question is...
00:55:51What are you gonna do about it?
00:55:53Lenny!
00:55:57I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:56:00Room 115.
00:56:01Lauren's called the police.
00:56:03Already done.
00:56:04But sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:06She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:13No, no, no, no, no.
00:56:16Lauren, she's there.
00:56:18Lily's there.
00:56:23Hold on, Lily, hold on.
00:56:28Shit.
00:56:39Leave her alone!
00:56:40Shut up!
00:56:42Get away from my wife.
00:56:44Well, well.
00:56:46Our hero arrives.
00:56:49Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:53I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:56That's my girl.
00:57:04Oh.
00:57:06I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:17That's for my sister.
00:57:19You son of a bitch.
00:57:26Lily.
00:57:27About everything.
00:57:29The photos.
00:57:30Vivian.
00:57:32Now? Seriously?
00:57:34I love you.
00:57:36Not for any inheritance.
00:57:38Not for any deal.
00:57:40Just...
00:57:41you.
00:57:44I know.
00:57:54You, stay right there.
00:57:56Come on, cover me.
00:58:08What the hell?
00:58:12This isn't...
00:58:13Possible?
00:58:17And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.
00:58:19Sign the papers.
00:58:20Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:23That proves nothing.
00:58:24I think it might prove something.
00:58:26Yeah, and those photos that you planted?
00:58:28Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:30You can't.
00:58:31Yes, they can.
00:58:33And you two are under arrest.
00:58:38You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:39The inheritance, the...
00:58:40Are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:42You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:46I do.
00:58:54Yes, thank you.
00:58:55Thanks.
00:59:00Now that's a story.
00:59:06Here to twist the knife?
00:59:07Actually, I'm here to get it right.
00:59:12Where did you...?
00:59:13Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:15Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:19So, no scandal piece?
00:59:21Oh, there's definitely a scan.
00:59:24But not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:29That's...
00:59:31Actually accurate.
00:59:32I'm a reporter.
00:59:34Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:36Though I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:40Yeah, neither did I.
00:59:43Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:45Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:52Are we about the inheritance?
00:59:54You really think that I care about any of that now?
01:00:01Just take me home.
01:00:04Yes, dear.
01:00:14Sun's coming up.
01:00:16Must be a new record.
01:00:18It is for me.
01:00:20Any regrets?
01:00:22Only one.
01:00:25That I didn't get your chef's special sooner.
01:00:27Could have saved us a lot of trouble.
01:00:29Yeah.
01:00:30Powerful.
01:00:34Excuse me, sir.
01:00:35Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:37How bad is it?
01:00:38Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:41She's included the last bit you wanted put in.
01:00:45She's included the last bit you wanted put in.
01:00:59Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:01:01In a shocking turn of events,
01:01:03tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans to transform his inherited fortune
01:01:07into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:11Surprised?
01:01:15But your...
01:01:16Your inheritance is gone.
01:01:18My inheritance, yeah.
01:01:20But turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:23You sold the company?
01:01:25Turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:35My turn.
01:01:36I don't know.
01:01:37I don't know.
01:01:43Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:44Keep them thin, okay?
01:01:45Just like that.
01:02:02This looks good on you.
01:02:04And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:08Suckers.
01:02:09Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:12Depends.
01:02:14Did my wife make it?
01:02:16The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:18Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:27Hang on.
01:02:34Voila.
01:02:39You're the best chef in town.
01:02:42You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:46I think that contract expired.
01:02:49Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:58We are gathered here today...
01:03:00No more business deals this time.
01:03:03Just love.
01:03:04Good.
01:03:06Because I have some terms off my own.
01:03:09First...
01:03:11You have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:13Done.
01:03:15Second...
01:03:17No more locked rooms.
01:03:20Without me in it.
01:03:23Is that all?
01:03:25Third...
01:03:27You have to mean it this time.
01:03:29I meant it the first time.
01:03:31Just didn't know yet.
01:03:33The rings?
01:03:35Actually...
01:03:41Is that...
01:03:42Something old.
01:03:43Something new.
01:03:45Something borrowed.
01:03:46Something...
01:03:49Not mine.
01:03:57For better or worse...
01:03:59For real this time.
01:04:00You make us the bride.
01:04:03Okay.
01:04:18So...
01:04:19Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:22What are you...
01:04:26Lauren, tell me back.
01:04:28Lauren, tell me back.
01:04:34Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:39I don't know...
01:04:40Mr. Thorne.
01:04:44Can you handle them?
01:04:46I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:50How about you just shut up...
01:04:52And kiss your wife?
01:04:57Mm-hmm.
