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?
00:03:48Yo.
00:03:49So I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:52When you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:53The 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?
00:04:10How 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 going to 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 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.
00:05:59I 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?
00:06:13Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:17Creative differences.
00:06:20There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:23Lily.
00:06:25You've got to open up your own place.
00:06:27You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:29So you've got to show the world what you've got.
00:06:31Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:34But without yours, we're never going to be able to afford mom's operation.
00:06:39Yeah, and it'll be all my fault.
00:06:42Lily.
00:06:45There is an opening at my office.
00:06:48Seriously?
00:06:50It's stable.
00:06:51Health insurance. 401K.
00:06:53I'd rather die.
00:06:54You'd rather be broke.
00:06:55No, I'd rather...
00:07:02How can you help mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:11Fine. Yeah, you're right.
00:07:13Let's do it.
00:07:31Hi.
00:07:41Hi.
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 is 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 could 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?
00:08:23You can go now.
00:08:24Bye-bye.
00:08:29Fuck.
00:08:34Screw this.
00:08:38Fuck.
00:08:48What are you looking at?
00:08:57I'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.
00:09:57I have a very important business deal,
00:09:59with some very important people involved,
00:10:01and 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.
00:10:17What, you think I'm good at walking away?
00:10:20Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:22Well, anything you want.
00:10:24Money, a place to live,
00:10:26complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:29Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:39Wow.
00:10:42Yeah, that's a really big deal.
00:10:45Wow.
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.
00:11:15Okay.
00:11:34This is, um...
00:11:38specific.
00:11:39I like clarity.
00:11:46Hm.
00:11:49Wife agrees to perform.
00:11:54Very...
00:11:56specific.
00:11:58Is there a problem?
00:12:01Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:05What's going on here?
00:12:16I'm saying yes.
00:12:27To everything.
00:12:41Do you, Jack Thorne,
00:12:46This is insane.
00:12:47Shut up, boy.
00:12:49take Lily Dunning to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:53This is fucking nuts.
00:12:54Shut the fuck up.
00:12:57I do.
00:13:00I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:15I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:46This marriage, it's...
00:13:49it's just a contract.
00:13:55Well...
00:13:57I think that the contract says that
00:14:01this is my room.
00:14:10But...
00:14:12Good night, husband.
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.
00:14:31The kitchen.
00:14:43And we have the west wing library
00:14:45and the east wing pool.
00:14:50How do you find anything in here?
00:14:53One of ducks, madam.
00:15:02And this room is the...
00:15:07Oh, dear.
00:15:10Would you excuse me?
00:15:11Of course.
00:15:12Apologies.
00:15:31What are you doing here?
00:16:01Oh, my gosh.
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 will.
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.
00:16:46Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:48Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:01Hi.
00:17:06And then I see you.
00:17:07And I see you.
00:17:08And I see you.
00:17:10And I see you.
00:17:11And I see you.
00:17:12And I see you.
00:17:13And I see you.
00:17:14And then I said,
00:17:15do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:17I don't need a knife.
00:17:18I 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, 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.
00:18:18So, 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.
00:25:01Get out.
00:25:11Oh, no.
00:25:13God.
00:25:27Jack, darling.
00:25:28Darling.
00:25:29Fancy seeing you here.
00:25:30Vivian?
00:25:31The 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, Vivian.
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?
00:26:03Or whatever it is that you do.
00:26:06So, 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
00:26:13our investments are not making any profit,
00:26:15because me, myself, isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:18So, my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:27...
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, I...
00:26:47Rebecca Chen.
00:26:48Social pages.
00:26:50Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:54This must be some kind of record.
00:26:56Though lately I've been more interested in business deals.
00:27:00Hmm.
00:27:01What would you say?
00:27:03Love at first sight?
00:27:05Or something more contractual?
00:27:08You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:10Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:17We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:20I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:26Oh.
00:27:31The 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.
00:27:51To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:57Whatever.
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.
00:28:24No, no, please.
00:28:29Okay, can we?
00:28:30No.
00:28:31Yeah?
00:28:32No, no, no.
00:28:33No, no, no.
00:28:34Let go!
00:28:35No.
00:28:36Ah!
00:28:37No.
00:28:38No!
00:28:39Ow!
00:28:53Yeah?
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.
00:29:24That'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.
00:29:34No, I've done my part.
00:29:36That's under way.
00:29:37And 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.
00:30:23Should we proceed to the study?
00:30:25We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:27Yeah.
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:32Oh, 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.
00:30:53Uh-oh.
00:30:55You know that feeling when you leave the house
00:30:59and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:31:11I forgot something.
00:31:14Maybe you can
00:31:17help me figure it out?
00:31:21Coffee?
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?
00:31:33Actually, 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.
00:31:57So.
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.
00:32:18You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:21That's business.
00:32:23Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:27But you know what?
00:32:31What's this?
00:32:34Some pretty big business
00:32:36that you haven't been sharing with me.
00:32:39I think Vivian wants some of it too.
00:32:42But you know what?
00:32:45Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:49Sad.
00:32:51Watch your stance.
00:32:57I don't want to be lied to.
00:32:59I'm not lying, Lily.
00:33:03Don't break my heart.
00:33:06Yeah.
00:33:18Please.
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.
00:34:28You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:47What?
00:34:52Of course.
00:34:53And I think the real challenge is
00:34:54market penetration in 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.
00:35:13No comment?
00:35:14How surprising.
00:35:16Excuse me.
00:35:18Great thinking, Lily.
00:35:19All 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.
00:36:07Lunch?
00:36:10I was just on my way out.
00:36:14Think about it, Jack.
00:36:24What was that about?
00:36:26Nothing. Just business.
00:36:27Just business.
00:36:29Of course.
00:36:31Lily, wait.
00:36:37What do you want, Jack?
00:36:43What do you want?
00:37:00Taking you on a holiday.
00:37:01What?
00:37:02You have time for that?
00:37:05A lot of time.
00:37:07Just us?
00:37:09I know what I want.
00:37:13Oh, what about, um...
00:37:15What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:18I 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.
00:37:31You know that I don't just, um...
00:37:34Serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:36Really?
00:37:37Mm-hmm.
00:37:39Hmm.
00:37:42I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.
00:37:44I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.
00:37:48Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:50Safe.
00:37:52Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:57Yeah.
00:37:59Very good.
00:38:01Who sent the message?
00:38:03They didn't chase her.
00:38:09Lily, I'm sorry.
00:38:10Don't. Please.
00:38:11It's just business.
00:38:12It's business, yeah.
00:38:13I get it.
00:38:24Lily, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:26Just shut up and...
00:38:28Taste 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.
00:38:57Jack.
00:39:00Talking about us.
00:39:02Oh.
00:39:06How long are we gonna keep on doing this?
00:39:21Oh!
00:39:22Oh, my God.
00:39:25What 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?
00:39:56Sorry.
00:39:58I thought I saw...
00:39:59Thought I saw...
00:40:04Aroid.
00:40:05You okay?
00:40:07Yeah.
00:40:17Yeah.
00:40:21This is so insane.
00:40:25It's probably just kids.
00:40:26Kids?
00:40:27Kids?
00:40:28Seriously?
00:40:30Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:31Oh, 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...
00:40:54That you did at Mommy Not Mine?
00:40:58I found it.
00:41:01Yeah?
00:41:06Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:13Do you wanna see it?
00:41:15Show me.
00:41:27Okay.
00:41:44Most people run.
00:41:46I'm not most people.
00:41:51So...
00:41:55This is what you're into?
00:41:57Among other things.
00:41:58And all of those...
00:42:02Specific...
00:42:03Requirements?
00:42:04We're about to scare you off.
00:42:06I don't scare you, son.
00:42:08I'm starting to get that.
00:42:15Show me.
00:42:17You sure?
00:42:19Are you?
00:42:27I'm not scared.
00:42:28I'm not scared.
00:42:29I'm not scared.
00:42:30I'm not scared.
00:42:31I'm not scared.
00:42:32I'm not scared.
00:42:33I'm not scared.
00:42:34I'm not scared.
00:42:35I'm not scared.
00:42:36I'm not scared.
00:42:37I'm not scared.
00:42:38I'm not scared.
00:42:39I'm not scared.
00:42:40I'm not scared.
00:42:41I'm not scared.
00:42:42I'm not scared.
00:42:43I'm not scared.
00:42:44I'm not scared.
00:42:45I'm not scared.
00:42:46I'm not scared.
00:42:47I'm not scared.
00:42:48I'm not scared.
00:42:49I'm not scared.
00:42:50I'm not scared.
00:42:51I'm not scared.
00:42:52I'm not scared.
00:42:53I'm not scared.
00:42:54I'm not scared.
00:42:55I'm not scared.
00:42:56I'm not scared.
00:42:59So?
00:43:02So.
00:43:09Sir, Ms. Chase is here.
00:43:11She 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 thirty.
00:43:17I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:22Lily, wait.
00:43:26Just go.
00:43:57The way I can explain.
00:44:01Can you?
00:44:05Guess them business can't wait.
00:44:16This whole thing is...
00:44:18Let me get this straight.
00:44:20You sleep with him and then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:23It's complicated.
00:44:24It's complicated.
00:44:25When isn't it with you?
00:44:27Look, maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:30What? A mistake?
00:44:32That you were right?
00:44:34Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:36No. I want you to be happy.
00:44:39And are you?
00:44:42I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:44I mean, he paid for mom's operation, so that's cool, but...
00:44:47I know.
00:44:48And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for...
00:44:55Lily?
00:44:57Lily?
00:44:58Stand back.
00:44:59What?
00:45:00Stand back, Megan.
00:45:04Key, key, key, key, key.
00:45:07Guys!
00:45:12Go, motherfucker!
00:45:15Oh 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.
00:45:34I know.
00:45:39You okay?
00:45:40Yeah.
00:45:42God, 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.
00:45:52I can't...
00:45:54I can't...
00:46:20He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:24I know.
00:46:35Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:38How could you?
00:46:44Eleven months.
00:46:46Almost a year.
00:46:49I barely knew him, that's anymore.
00:46:54I know.
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.
00:47:25These aren't real.
00:47:26We know.
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, I...
00:47:43For a minute, I really believed.
00:47:46Lily, wait.
00:47:50They're not real!
00:47:52Take a talk, Mr. Thorne.
00:48:04Lily, wait.
00:48:07They're not real.
00:48:09You have to believe me.
00:48:10Like I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal?
00:48:14Like I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague?
00:48:17A colleague!
00:48:20Like I believed that last night actually meant something.
00:48:23It did.
00:48:24Lily, what happened between us was...
00:48:26A transaction.
00:48:28That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:31That's not true.
00:48:32And you know it.
00:48:33Do 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.
00:48:47Tell me that there's not something more going on here.
00:48:50With the business deal and your inheritance.
00:48:54Anything more to explain?
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.
00:49:39Hands up.
00:49:40Protect the face.
00:49:42No, don't.
00:49:45Go?
00:49:46No.
00:49:55Warren?
00:49:56Finally, look.
00:49:58About the Morrison deal.
00:49:59It's off.
00:50:00What do you mean it's off?
00:50:01All of it.
00:50:03The deal, the inheritance.
00:50:05I 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...
00:50:14I think I've heard it.
00:50:45You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:48Watch me.
00:51:00Hey.
00:51:01What happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:05The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:08She played.
00:51:09Did she?
00:51:11If that's Jack, I'm sure that's just my oxygenarian neighbor,
00:51:14who's a total drama queen.
00:51:16Watch.
00:51:18Gladys?
00:51:21Gladys, is that you?
00:51:23Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:31Sir.
00:51:32Coffee.
00:51:34You're welcome.
00:51:36Sir.
00:51:37Coffee.
00:51:39Hi.
00:51:40I did some digging around, like you asked, sir.
00:51:43You might want to see this.
00:51:49What am I looking at here?
00:51:50Wire transfers, shell companies.
00:51:53All leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:56Warren.
00:51:57I knew it!
00:51:58You might want to see these too, sir.
00:52:00They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:06Son of a bitch.
00:52:08He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:10He sure is.
00:52:11All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:52:15Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial.
00:52:32Sir?
00:52:33Sir?
00:52:34They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:36Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:39Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:41Every meeting, every call.
00:52:42Already compiled, sir.
00:52:43I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:45Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:47Some things are worth more than money.
00:52:50Call me.
00:53:02Calling back, Megan?
00:53:12Fuck.
00:53:20Fuck.
00:53:45Oh, my God.
00:53:53I got us into this.
00:53:55I can get us out of this.
00:53:56Oh, I can do this.
00:53:57Oh, 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.
00:54:07If anything happens to her, that's up to you.
00:54:12Sign the papers.
00:54:14And 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?
00:54:28I 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.
00:54:56Wait.
00:54:58No.
00:55:17Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:23Remember your training.
00:55:25Protect your face.
00:55:30Megan!
00:55:31Lily!
00:55:35Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:38Please, come on.
00:55:41Come on.
00:55:45Of course it's a trap.
00:55:48The question is,
00:55:51what are you gonna do about it?
00:55:52Lily!
00:55:56I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:55:59Room 115.
00:56:00Lauren's called the police.
00:56:02Already done.
00:56:03But sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:05She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:12No, no, no, no.
00:56:15Lauren, she's there.
00:56:17Lily's there.
00:56:23Hold on, Lily, hold on.
00:56:38Leave her alone!
00:56:39Shut up!
00:56:42Get away from my wife!
00:56:44Well, well.
00:56:46The 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.
00:57:23Lily.
00:57:26Lily.
00:57:27About everything.
00:57:29The photos.
00:57:30Vivian.
00:57:32Now? Seriously?
00:57:33I love you.
00:57:36Not for any inheritance.
00:57:38Not for any deal.
00:57:40Just...
00:57:41you.
00:57:44I know.
00:57:53You.
00:57:54Stay right there.
00:57:56Come on, cover me.
00:58:08What the hell?
00:58:12This isn't...
00:58:13...possible?
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...
00:58:40...are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:42You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:46I do.
00:58:51Yes, thank you.
00:58:53Thanks.
00:58:57Now that's a story.
00:59:03Here to twist the knife?
00:59:04Actually...
00:59:06...I'm here to get it right.
00:59:09Where did you...?
00:59:10Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:12Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:16So...
00:59:17...no scandal piece?
00:59:18Oh...
00:59:19...there's definitely a scandal.
00:59:21But...
00:59:22...not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:26That's...
00:59:28...actually accurate.
00:59:29I'm a reporter.
00:59:31Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:33Though I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:37Yeah, neither did I.
00:59:40Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:42Catch you on the next one.
00:59:47Scandal.
00:59:55The way about the inheritance...
00:59:56You really think I care about any of that now?
01:00:03Just take me home.
01:00:06Yes, dear.
01:00:08Slut's coming up.
01:00:10Must be a new record.
01:00:13It is for me.
01:00:15Any regrets?
01:00:17Only one.
01:00:20That I didn't get your chef's special sooner...
01:00:22...could have saved us a lot of trouble.
01:00:24Yeah.
01:00:25Ow.
01:00:29I'm sorry.
01:00:31I'm sorry.
01:00:33I'm sorry.
01:00:34I'm sorry.
01:00:35I'm sorry.
01:00:37Excuse me, sir.
01:00:38Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:41How bad is it?
01:00:42Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:45She's included the last bit you wanted put in.
01:00:59Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:01:02In a shocking turn of events...
01:01:03...tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans...
01:01:05...to transform his inherited fortune...
01:01:07...into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:11Surprised?
01:01:14But your 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.
01:01:34My turn.
01:01:35I don't know.
01:01:42Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:43Keep them thin, okay? Just like that.
01:02:01This 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...
01:02:59No more business deals this time.
01:03:01Just love.
01:03:02Good.
01:03:04Because I have some terms off my own.
01:03:08First.
01:03:10You have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:12Done.
01:03:14Second.
01:03:16No more locked rooms.
01:03:18Without me in it.
01:03:22Is that all?
01:03:24Third.
01:03:26You have to mean it this time.
01:03:28I meant it the first 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.
01:04:02You make us the bride.
01:04:19So...
01:04:21Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:24What are you...
01:04:27Lauren, tell me back.
01:04:29Okay.
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?
01:04:59AVAILABLE NOW
