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.
00:03:01Shit.
00:03:02Oh, God.
00:03:03Don't scream.
00:03:04Don't scream, baby.
00:03:05Or do you know what's next?
00:03:06Scream for me.
00:03:07Please.
00:03:09Shit.
00:03:12Hey.
00:03:21Hey, wait.
00:03:38Not now, weren't I?
00:03:46Jack, my man.
00:03:48Que paso?
00:03:49So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:52When are you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:54The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:57Yeah.
00:03:58Yeah, come 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?
00:04:07Um.
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.
00:04:23Lock 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.
00:04:45Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:55How am I going to find her again?
00:04:58You 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 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.
00:05:57I don't complain. I don't.
00:05:59All I'm saying is you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:03I am living in the real world.
00:06:10Really?
00:06:11Because 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'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, 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. 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.
00:07:42Hi.
00:07:45Name?
00:07:47Lily Dunning.
00:07:48Can I help you?
00:07:50Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:52My sister is Megan.
00:07:54She works here.
00:07:55Last place of employment?
00:07:57Chez Francois.
00:07:59A restaurant?
00:08:00Yes, I'm a chef.
00:08:02My 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...
00:08:13You 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.
00:08:25Bye-bye.
00:08:34Screw this.
00:08:38Fuck.
00:08:44Ugh.
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...?
00:09:14Funny tearing hair.
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 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.
00:10:30A place to live.
00:10:32Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:35Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:45Wow.
00:10:48Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:51It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:10:55You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:10:57My own wing?
00:10:59Complete privacy.
00:11:01But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:03Play the happy wife.
00:11:25This is, um...
00:11:29Specific?
00:11:31I like clarity.
00:11:40Hm.
00:11:42Wife agrees to perform...
00:11:45Mm-hmm.
00:11:47...in front of her husband.
00:11:50Agrees to perform...
00:11:53Mm-hmm.
00:11:55Very...
00:11:57Specific.
00:11:59Is there a problem?
00:12:02Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:06What's going on here?
00:12:17I'm saying yes.
00:12:21Okay.
00:12:28To everything.
00:12:42Do you, Jack Thorne?
00:12:46This is insane.
00:12:48Shut up, boy.
00:12:50Take Lily Dunning to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:53This is fucking nuts.
00:12:55Shut the fuck up.
00:12:57I do.
00:13:01I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:19Mm-hmm.
00:13:37Mm-hmm.
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.
00:14:12But...
00:14:14Good night, husband.
00:14:18Mm-hmm.
00:14:25And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:30And the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:33Hm.
00:14:35Mm-hmm.
00:14:43And we have the west wing library and the east wing pool.
00:14:50How do you find anything in here?
00:14:53One of ducks, madam.
00:14:56Mm-hmm.
00:15:04And this room is the, um...
00:15:08Oh, dear.
00:15:11Would you excuse me?
00:15:13Of course.
00:15:14Apologies.
00:15:26Mm-hmm.
00:15:46What are you doing here?
00:15:55Shh.
00:16:12Oh, 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-I can't accept this.
00:16:32You can, and you will.
00:16:35Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:42You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:45Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:55Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:58Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:12And then I said,
00:17:14if you want me to cut this steak, I don't need a knife.
00:17:17I need a chainsaw.
00:17:19Oh, okay.
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.
00:17:29Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:32That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:36I could 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?
00:18:12We're done with the ex.
00:18:18As I was saying.
00:18:20You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:50Wow.
00:19:13Good?
00:19:14Surprisingly good.
00:19:16Well, payment for spying.
00:19:20Payment accepted.
00:19:22You 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.
00:19:46You can go now.
00:20:03You, um, wanted to see me?
00:20:07Time for your first lesson.
00:20:09My what?
00:20:12Ugh.
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?
00:21:10Okay.
00:21:31Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:34I, um, a business expense?
00:21:38Business expense.
00:21:41These are 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.
00:22:10You 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...
00:38:28taste this.
00:38:35Mmm.
00:38:36This tastes, uh...
00:38:37Incredible?
00:38:38Yeah.
00:38:39Yeah, I know.
00:38:45Jack?
00:38:46Mm-hmm?
00:38:47Do you want more?
00:38:49Um, after this one?
00:38:51No.
00:38:53Let the food...
00:38:55Jack.
00:38:57You're talking about us.
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.
00:40:00Sorry, sir.
00:40:05I'm ruined.
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, sorry.
00:40:34What, are you afraid that someone's gonna hear
00:40:36about our perfect marriage?
00:40:45What are you hiding from me?
00:40:50Hey.
00:40:52Hey, you know that secret room
00:40:55that you did it on me last night?

00:41:59And all of those...
00:42:02specific requirements?

00:42:17Are you sure?

00:42:27Are you?
00:42:57So?

00:43:03Final deal points.
00:43:04Jack's leaving in 30.

00:43:56The way I can explain can you guess some business can't wait
00:44:17This whole thing is
00:44:19Let me get this straight
00:44:20You sleep with him and then you find a note from his ex. It's complicated. When isn't it with you?
00:44:27Look, maybe it's time to admit. This whole thing is just a little a mistake
00:44:33But you're right
00:44:34Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:36No, I want you to be happy and
00:44:40Are you I?
00:44:42Don't know what I am anymore. I mean he paid for mom's operation. So that's cool
00:44:47But I know and the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for
00:44:57Lily stand back what stand back Megan?
00:45:18Come on, let's go
00:45:26What was that
00:45:28lessons with Jack
00:45:29Jack taught you that
00:45:31Yeah
00:45:32Yeah, dude's getting better by a minute. No
00:45:39You okay? Yeah
00:45:43Guys things are supposed to be so simple
00:45:45Oh, yeah, what oh, how do you know it's real anymore?
00:46:15You always keeps the ledger on his desk
00:46:35Lauren I've known you since college. How could you?
00:46:40I
00:46:44Haven't minds almost a year. I barely knew that's anymore
00:47:02The way I need to tell you something
00:47:04I'm all ears
00:47:06It's about the deal about Warren Vivian, well if it isn't the happy couple, oh great
00:47:14press
00:47:26These aren't real oh my sister say they're very real
00:47:30Story runs in 48 hours. Well, I mean, this is what I was just about to tell you. I've been set up
00:47:37I
00:47:38Care to comment. Mr. Thorne
00:47:41You know, it's funny I for a minute I really believed
00:47:47Well, we wait
00:47:50They're not real
00:47:53Take talk. Mr. Thorne
00:47:55You
00:48:05Will we wait
00:48:07They're not real you have to believe me like 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 believe that last night actually meant something it did
00:48:25Only what happened between us was for the transaction
00:48:28That's all any of this ever was
00:48:31That's not true. And you know, it's do I
00:48:36Because from where I'm standing
00:48:39You got everything that you wanted you got a wife when you needed one and a body when you wanted one
00:48:45No, wait, that's not it. Tell me I'm wrong
00:48:48Tell me that there's not something more going on here with the business deal and your inheritance
00:48:54Anything more to explain
00:49:02So I thought
00:49:07You're a terrible person
00:49:10If you leave now you violate the contract you get nothing I don't care
00:49:18I never cared about any of that
00:49:23You
00:49:39Hands up protect the face. No, don't go
00:49:54I
00:49:56Warned finally look about the Morrison deal. It's off. What do you mean? It's all of it
00:50:03The deal the inheritance. I don't want any of it. Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:08I mean everything that we've worked for actually
00:50:15Think I found it
00:50:23You
00:50:48You can't just hide here forever watch me
00:50:53I
00:51:03Hey, what happened to the girl who would never back down
00:51:08The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise played did she
00:51:13I
00:51:18Guess that's Jack. I'm sure that's just my oxygen area neighbor. Who's a total drama queen watch
00:51:25Gladys
00:51:28Gladys is that you do you need help with your phone?
00:51:38Sir

00:51:42Did some digging around like you asked sir, you might want to see this
00:51:51What am I looking at here wire transfers shell companies all leading back to mr. Block
00:51:57more
00:51:59Do it you might want to see these two sir. They'll illuminate things even more
00:52:03You
00:52:07Son of a bitch
00:52:09He's trying to steal the inheritance. He sure is all through a series of cleverly placed shell companies
00:52:17Although I suspect miss Chase's
00:52:20Interests are not purely financial
00:52:33Sir
00:52:34They're threatening Lily and her sister. Then perhaps it's time. We stop playing their game
00:52:39Give me everything you can about war every meeting every already compiled sir. I had a feeling we might need this sir
00:52:45What about the inheritance?
00:52:47Some things are worth more than money
00:52:49I
00:53:03Back Megan
00:53:19Oh
00:53:50Thank you
00:53:53And I got us into this I can get us out of this oh I can do this I can do this
00:54:00Your little cookies on our 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 it's 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

00:55:58I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel sir room 115
00:56:02Lauren's called the police already done, but but sir they're at least 20 minutes out. She doesn't have 20 minutes
