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 a
00:00:21fairytale world. There's no such thing as happily ever after. Where is the duck for table two?
00:00:28Table two ordered something special, chef.
00:00:33No, table two ordered the special, and the special is the duck. What is this?
00:00:38Nothing.
00:00:39Yes, exactly. This is nothing now. The duck.
00:00:43Just do what your boss says, Lily. You can't afford to lose another job.
00:00:47How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?
00:00:50Table two, the duck.
00:00:52So, I'm thinking about adopting a dog. You know, like the little tiny dogs that can fit
00:01:00in your handbag. They're so cute. So, anyway, once your inheritance is secure, the Morrison
00:01:05deal is all in the bag. But, what is this mystery clause you won't tell us about, Jack?
00:01:13Jack? Jack? Hello?
00:01:16Yeah, the dog.
00:01:21Hi.
00:01:24Hi.
00:01:29You ordered the special?
00:01:33Actually, I ordered the...
00:01:34Trust me.
00:01:35Who is that girl?
00:01:37Something about her.
00:01:40It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:41Well, that was presumptuous.
00:01:44Huh?
00:01:44The waitress not bringing you what I ordered? Don't tell me you're actually impressed with
00:01:48that 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?
00:02:04I'm making something from this century.
00:02:06You know what? That's it. I've had enough. You are fired! Get out of here!
00:02:09Not this again.
00:02:10What did you say?
00:02:14I am serious this time. You are fired! You get out of here!
00:02:17What?
00:02:18You take this! You give up your act! You get out!
00:02:21No, please, sir! It won't happen again!
00:02:22No, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy this time. You get out! You leave!

00:13:19and
00:13:34This marriage, it's just a contract.
00:13:52Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
00:14:13Good night, husband.
00:14:19And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:30In the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:34And we have the West Wing Library and the East Wing Pool.
00:14:48How do you find anything in here?
00:14:53One adapts, madam.
00:15:03And this room is the, um...
00:15:08Oh dear.
00:15:11Would you excuse me?
00:15:13Of course.
00:15:14Apologies.
00:15:15I'm not sure.
00:15:17We will see you in the room.
00:15:21Oh, God.
00:15:22You kind of are from here.
00:15:24Oh.
00:15:25Oh.
00:15:26Oh, God.
00:15:27Oh, God.
00:15:28Oh, God.
00:15:29Oh, God.
00:15:30Oh, God.
00:15:31Oh, God.
00:15:32What are you doing here?
00:16:02Oh my gosh.
00:16:17Bravo?
00:16:21This is... a lot.
00:16:24The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions, including tonight's charity
00:16:29gala.
00:16:31I can't accept this.
00:16:33You can.
00:16:34And you won't.
00:16:35Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:38You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:45Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:50Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:17:00Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:03Hi.
00:17:07And 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.
00:17:22Jackie, there you are.
00:17:25Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:27We simply must celebrate.
00:17:29I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:33That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:37I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:44My 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?
00:17:54Wagstaff Training School?
00:17:56Vivian.
00:17:57Oh, that was it.
00:18:00She was actually a waitress.
00:18:02Or, I don't remember, whatever it was.
00:18:05Excuse me.
00:18:07So, what do you guys have?
00:18:12Watch out for the ex.
00:18:17As I was saying.
00:18:20You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:50Wow.
00:19:12Good?
00:19:13Surprisingly good.
00:19:15Surprisingly good.
00:19:17Well, payment for spying.
00:19:22Payment accepted.
00:19:23You know, the house this grand, I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:33I had to make do.
00:19:35Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:37It's a shame.
00:19:47You can go now.
00:20:03You, um, wanted to see me.
00:20:07Time for your first lesson.
00:20:10My what?
00:20:14Self-defense.
00:20:17Never know when you might need it.
00:20:18I don't know if that's really...
00:20:20Number one.
00:20:21Stance.
00:20:24Move the feet apart.
00:20:26Bend this knee.
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:29Then move this foot forward.
00:20:31Okay?
00:20:32Okay?
00:20:33Now, hands up.
00:20:35Protect the face.
00:20:37Okay.
00:20:38Now, like this.
00:20:40Oh, God.
00:20:42I'm not really good at this.
00:20:50We're just getting started.
00:20:52Oh.
00:20:54Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:58Rule number one.
00:21:00Stance.
00:21:02Right?
00:21:03Right?
00:21:03Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:34I have a business expense.
00:21:39Business expense.
00:21:41These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:45The best knives for the best chef?
00:21:46Why are you doing this?
00:21:51The contract.
00:21:53No.
00:21:55The real reason.
00:21:57Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:22:02Maybe.
00:22:04You just like watching me.
00:22:06Yeah.
00:22:06You know that, um...
00:22:11This doesn't change anything.
00:22:15Of course not.
00:22:21This is for your mother.
00:22:22No, this is too much.
00:22:30This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:33At least I can do.
00:22:38I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
00:22:42What's the catch?
00:22:43We've got a problem.
00:22:56Morning to you too.
00:22:58So, the inheritance release date is set, but...
00:23:01If anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:23:02No one's gonna find out.
00:23:04Oh, really?
00:23:05Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:23:07It's under control.
00:23:09Is it?
00:23:09It seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...
00:23:15I said it's handled.
00:23:27Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:29This Morrison deal...
00:23:31Is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:36Don't tell me you're actually fooling me.
00:23:37Get out.
00:23:39Don't tell me you're actually fooling me.
00:24:09Don't tell me you're actually fooling me.
00:25:10Oh, no.
00:25:13God.
00:25:28Jack, darling.
00:25:30Bounty seeing you here.
00:25:31Vivian?
00:25:32The 82 crystal.
00:25:33Remember the crystal, Jack?
00:25:37I can still feel it running down my back just thinking about it.
00:25:41We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:44Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:46You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:48Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:53This must be so boring for you.
00:25:56You're so insightful, Vivian.
00:25:58You do bore me.
00:26:00Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:26:03Why don't you go back to, like, chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:26:07So, basically, you know, the company way that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:12I had a business meeting with Hannah today, and she has basically advised me to say that
00:26:16our investments are not making any profit.
00:26:18The company itself isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:20So, my proposal for next year would be basically
00:26:23Quite 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...
00:26:48Rebecca Chen.
00:26:49Social pages.
00:26:50Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:54This must be some kind of record.
00:26:57Though lately I've been more interested in, uh, business deals.
00:27:01Hmm, what would you say?
00:27:04Love at first sight or something more contractual?
00:27:09You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:11Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:18We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:20I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:22I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:23Oh, the Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.
00:27:28Oh, the Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.
00:27:34Oh, great.
00:27:35Another dinner.
00:27:36It's important.
00:27:37They're all important.
00:27:38It's a part of the deal.
00:27:41They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:44You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:45Oh, did I?
00:27:46Did I?
00:27:49At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:51To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:57Okay, whatever.
00:27:58Nice.
00:28:11Real mature.
00:28:14No, don't.
00:28:16Ah!
00:28:18Okay.
00:28:20Okay, fine.
00:28:21You want to go?
00:28:22Nope.
00:28:23Nope.
00:28:25No, no, wait.
00:28:30Okay, really?
00:28:31No.
00:28:32Yeah?
00:28:32Yeah?
00:28:32No, no, no, no.
00:28:33No, no, no, no.
00:28:34No, no, no.
00:28:35No.
00:28:35Let's go.
00:28:36No.
00:28:37No.
00:28:38No.
00:28:38No.
00:28:39No.
00:28:39No.
00:28:40No.
00:28:41Oh.
00:28:41I'm...
00:28:42Oh!
00:28:42Oh!
00:28:43Oh!
00:28:43Oh!
00:28:45No.
00:28:50Oh!
00:28:50Yeah.
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.
00:29:26Hmm.
00:29:27It's the girl, isn't it?
00:29:28The waitress.
00:29:30You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:33And I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:34Oh, I've done my part.
00:29:37That's underway.
00:29:38And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:42I have everything under control.
00:29:45Oh, 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.
00:29:53I've just begun.
00:29:58I've got it.
00:29:59Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:30:15I live here.
00:30:17Of course you do.
00:30:19Okay, thanks.
00:30:20Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study?
00:30:25We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:33Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:40Vivian?
00:30:41Remember Tokyo?
00:30:45That sake bar?
00:30:47I'm married.
00:30:50Are you now?
00:30:52I hadn't noticed.
00:30:54Uh-huh.
00:30:55You know that feeling?
00:30:57When you leave the house?
00:31:00And you just feel like...
00:31:02You've forgotten something?
00:31:03I forgot something.
00:31:15Maybe you can...
00:31:17Help me figure it out?
00:31:22Coffee?
00:31:25Oh, no thank you.
00:31:27Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:30Oh.
00:31:31And Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:33Do you, Jack?
00:31:34Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:36Hmm.
00:31:37I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:40And he just absolutely laps up every drop of my coffee.
00:31:49Isn't that right?
00:31:51Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:55Hmm.
00:31:55So, how's Vivian?
00:32:03Focus on your form.
00:32:05You know, I was just wondering.
00:32:07How long the two of you...
00:32:09Ancient history.
00:32:11That's not what I heard.
00:32:12From who?
00:32:14Around.
00:32:16Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:18You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:20You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:23That's business.
00:32:24Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:29But 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.
00:32:52Sad.
00:32:52Watch your stance.
00:32:56I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:01I'm not lying, Lily.
00:33:05Don't break my heart.
00:33:09Yeah.
00:33:09Something.
00:33:21I ain't lying.
00:33:23Oh!
00:33:29What do you mind?
00:33:30No!
00:33:31I don't know how to stay yet.
00:33:32And I think you got about it.
00:33:34Please act like you know me. There's someone following me.
00:33:48Oh my god, are you okay?
00:33:50Who's following you?
00:33:53That weirdo?
00:33:59Is he gone?
00:34:01I think he's gone.
00:34:04You sure?
00:34:18Like that?
00:34:22I think your technique could use some more.
00:34:25I got the dota rides.
00:34:29You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:34I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies.
00:34:36I'm sure Jack's brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:34:47What?
00:34:56Of course. And I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies.
00:35:01I'm sure Jack's brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:35:05Um, actually, I...
00:35:07Tell me, what's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:10Um, I think...
00:35:13Oh, no comment. How surprising.
00:35:16Excuse me.
00:35:18Oh, great thinking, Lily. All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:21Uh-huh.
00:35:22Love you.
00:35:23Love you.
00:35:25Love you.
00:35:26Love you.
00:35:27But this thing isn't gonna last forever, Jack.
00:35:28...
00:35:45But this thing isn't going to last forever, Jack.
00:35:47But this thing isn't going to last forever, Jack.
00:35:57I don't know.
00:35:59I mean, what choice do you have?
00:36:01Clop's ticking, buddy.
00:36:03Unless 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.
00:36:17What was that about?
00:36:26Nothing. Just business.
00:36:28Just business. Of course.
00:36:32Lily, wait.
00:36:37What do you want, Jack?
00:36:38Taking 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.
00:37:10Oh, what about, um, what about Warren and the deal?
00:37:18I can wait.
00:37:19There she is.
00:37:24What?
00:37:25That smile.
00:37:27It's the one you had when I first laid house on you.
00:37:30I'll never forget it.
00:37:31You know that I don't just, um, serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:37Really?
00:37:38Mm-hmm.
00:37:38I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.
00:37:45I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.
00:37:49Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:51Save.
00:37:53Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:58Yeah.
00:37:58I'm good.
00:38:02Who sent the message?
00:38:04Vivian Chase.
00:38:10Okay, I'm sorry.
00:38:11Don't.
00:38:11Please.
00:38:12It's just business.
00:38:13It's business, yeah.
00:38:14I get it.
00:38:15Lily, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:26Just shut up and taste this.
00:38:38Mm.
00:38:39It's a taste of...
00:38:40Incredible?
00:38:41Yeah.
00:38:42Yeah, I know.
00:38:43Mm.
00:38:45Jack.
00:38:48Mm-hmm?
00:38:50Do you want more?
00:38:52Um, after this one.
00:38:53No.
00:38:55Let the food...
00:38:57Jack.
00:39:00Talking about us.
00:39:07How long are we going to keep on doing this?
00:39:08Oh, my God.
00:39:26What was that?
00:39:34Any enemies?
00:39:35Business rivals?
00:39:39No one comes to mind.
00:39:41Security cameras?
00:39:44Being installed as we speak.
00:39:55Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:56I'm sorry.
00:39:57Sorry.
00:40:00It's not a cell.
00:40:05I'm worried.
00:40:06You okay?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:19This is so insane.
00:40:23It's so insane.
00:40:26It's probably just kids.
00:40:28Kids?
00:40:29Seriously.
00:40:31Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:32Oh, sorry.
00:40:35What, are you afraid that someone's going to hear?
00:40:37About our perfect marriage?
00:40:38What are you hiding from me?
00:40:50Hey.
00:40:53Hey, you know that secret room?
00:40:55That you didn't want me to find.
00:40:59I found it.
00:41:02Yeah.
00:41:02Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:13Do you want to see it?
00:41:16Surely.
00:41:16Surely.
00:41:16Surely.
00:41:16Surely.
00:41:32Most people run.
00:41:46I'm not most people.
00:41:52So.
00:41:55This is what you're into?
00:41:57Among other things.
00:41:59And all of those.
00:42:00Specific requirements.
00:42:05We're meant to scare you off.
00:42:07I don't scare you, sir.
00:42:09I'm starting to get that.
00:42:16Show me.
00:42:18You sure?
00:42:20Are you?
00:42:20Are you?
00:42:30I don't care.
00:42:50What the hell?
00:42:59So?
00:43:03So?
00:43:09Sir, Miss Chase is here.
00:43:11She says it's urgent.
00:43:13Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there.
00:43:16Final deal points.
00:43:17Jack's leaving in 30.
00:43:18I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:23Lily, wait.
00:43:26Just go.
00:43:48The way I can explain.
00:44:02Can you?
00:44:06I guess some business can't wait.
00:44:08This whole thing is...
00:44:19Let me get this straight.
00:44:21You sleep with him and 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 this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:31What? A mistake?
00:44:33That you were right?
00:44:35Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:37No. I want you to be happy.
00:44:40And are you?
00:44:43I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:45I mean, he paid for Mom's operation, so that's cool, but I...
00:44:48I know.
00:44:49And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for...
00:44:51Lily, stand back.
00:45:00What?
00:45:00Stand back, Megan.
00:45:01Ah.
00:45:05Keep it, keep it, keep it.
00:45:08Lily!
00:45:09Ah!
00:45:10Ah!
00:45:10Ah!
00:45:12Ah!
00:45:12Get down!
00:45:13Get down, motherfucker!
00:45:14Fucker!
00:45:15Oh my God!
00:45:17Fuck you!
00:45:19Come on, let's go.
00:45:20What was that?
00:45:28Lessons with Jack.
00:45:29Jack taught you that?
00:45:31Yeah.
00:45:32Yeah.
00:45:33Dude's getting better by a minute.
00:45:35I know.
00:45:36Oh, man.
00:45:39You okay?
00:45:41Yeah.
00:45:43God, things are supposed to be so simple.
00:45:47Now what?
00:45:48I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:51I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:53Again?
00:45:53Howdy.
00:45:56Can I...
00:45:57He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:27Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:38How could you?
00:46:4411 months.
00:46:46Almost a year.
00:46:49I barely knew that anymore.
00:46:57Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:47:04I'm all ears.
00:47:06It's about the deal.
00:47:08About Warren, Vivian.
00:47:10Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:13Oh, great.
00:47:15Press.
00:47:16Press.
00:47:17These aren't real.
00:47:27Oh, my sister say they're very real.
00:47:30Story runs in 48 hours.
00:47:33Lily, this is what I was just about to tell you.
00:47:35I've been set up.
00:47:38Care to comment, Mr. Thorne?
00:47:41You know, it's funny.
00:47:43I, for a minute, I really believed.
00:47:47Lily, wait.
00:47:50They're not real.
00:47:53Take a talk, Mr. Thorne.
00:48:05Lily, wait.
00:48:08They're not real.
00:48:10You have to believe me.
00:48:11Look, 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.
00:48:20Like, I believed that last night actually meant something.
00:48:23It did.
00:48:25Only what happened between us was from the transaction.
00:48:29That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:30That's not true.
00:48:33And you know it.
00:48:34Do I?
00:48:37Because from where I'm standing, you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:41You got a wife when you needed one.
00:48:43And a body when you wanted one.
00:48:45Lily, that's not it.
00:48:46Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:48Tell me that there's not something more going on here.
00:48:51With the business deal and your inheritance.
00:48:53Anything more to explain.
00:49:02That's what I thought.
00:49:07You'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.
00:49:19I never cared about any of that.
00:49:20hands up.
00:49:40Protect the face.
00:49:43No, don't!
00:49:46Go?
00:49:47No!
00:49:47Warren?
00:49:57Finally, look.
00:49:58About the Morrison deal.
00:50:00It's off.
00:50:01What do you mean it's off?
00:50:02All of it.
00:50:03The deal.
00:50:05The inheritance.
00:50:06I don't want any of it.
00:50:07Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:09I mean, everything that we've worked for.
00:50:11Actually,
00:50:11I think I found it.
00:50:17I don't want any of it.
00:50:48You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:51Watch me.
00:51:03Hey.
00:51:04What happened to the girl
00:51:06who would never back down?
00:51:07The one who quit her job
00:51:10because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:11She played.
00:51:12Did she?
00:51:18That's Jack.
00:51:19I'm sure that's just my
00:51:20oxygenarian neighbor
00:51:22who's a total drama queen.
00:51:23Watch.
00:51:24Gladys?
00:51:28Gladys, is that you?
00:51:30Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:32Sir, coffee.
00:51:41Hi.
00:51:42I did some digging around
00:51:44like you asked, sir.
00:51:45You might want to see this.
00:51:46What am I looking at here?
00:51:52Wire transfers,
00:51:54shell companies,
00:51:55all leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:58More.
00:51:59I knew it.
00:52:00You might want to see these too, sir.
00:52:02They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:03Son of a bitch.
00:52:10He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:11He sure is.
00:52:13All through a series
00:52:14of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:52:17Although I suspect
00:52:18Ms. Chase's interests
00:52:20are not purely financial.
00:52:22Sir?
00:52:34They're threatening Lily
00:52:35and her sister.
00:52:36Then perhaps it's time
00:52:38we stop playing their game.
00:52:40Give me everything you can
00:52:41about Warren.
00:52:41Every meeting,
00:52:42every call.
00:52:43I already compiled, sir.
00:52:44I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:45Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:48Some things are worth
00:52:48more than money.
00:52:52I'm coming back, Megan.
00:53:12God.
00:53:13I'm coming back, Megan.
00:53:43I got us into this.
00:53:55I can get us out of this.
00:53:57I can do this.
00:53:58I can do this.
00:54:00Your little cookie's
00:54:01on her way over
00:54:02to save her sister as we speak.
00:54:05And I wouldn't put money
00:54:06on how well that's going to go.
00:54:08If anything happens to her,
00:54:10that's up to you.
00:54:10Sign the papers.
00:54:15And this all goes away.
00:54:18Those photos of you and me
00:54:19from that reporter
00:54:20suddenly went away.
00:54:25Deep fakes really do
00:54:26hurt everyone involved.
00:54:28Don't they?
00:54:29I always knew you were soft.
00:54:32But this?
00:54:33Throwing away a billion dollar
00:54:34inheritance for some chef.
00:54:36He's not throwing it away.
00:54:38He's giving it to us.
00:54:41All we need is a signature,
00:54:43Jack.
00:54:45You care too much,
00:54:46Jackie boy.
00:54:48Always have.
00:54:52I think we might need
00:54:53to send a little message.
00:54:55Hmm.
00:54:55Wait.
00:55:17Let me go,
00:55:18you psycho.
00:55:23Remember your training.
00:55:24protect your face.
00:55:31Megan!
00:55:32Lenny!
00:55:36Welcome to the party,
00:55:37sweetheart.
00:55:39Come on.
00:55:39Come on.
00:55:41Come on.
00:55:46Of course it's a trap.
00:55:49The question is,
00:55:51what are you going to do about it?
00:55:54Lily!
00:55:55Lily!
00:55:58I've traced the video feed
00:55:59to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:56:01Room 115.
00:56:02Lauren's called the police.
00:56:04Already done.
00:56:05But sir,
00:56:05they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:07She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:14No, no, no, no, no.
00:56:17Lauren, she's there.
00:56:19Lily's there.
00:56:19Lily!
00:56:19Hold on, Lily.
00:56:25Hold on.
00:56:26Hold on.
00:56:30Hold on.
00:56:31Leave her alone!
00:56:40Shut up!
00:56:41Get away from my wife.
00:56:44Well, well.
00:56:46A 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.
00:56:57I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:18That's for my sister.
00:57:20You son of a bitch.
00:57:21Lily.
00:57:27Lily.
00:57:28About everything.
00:57:30The photos.
00:57:31Vivian.
00:57:33Now?
00:57:33Seriously?
00:57:34I love you.
00:57:36Not for any inheritance.
00:57:39Not for any deal.
00:57:41Just...
00:57:42you.
00:57:45I know.
00:57:46You, stay right there.
00:57:57Come on, cuff him.
00:58:09What the hell?
00:58:13This isn't...
00:58:14Possible.
00:58:16And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:58:20Sign the papers.
00:58:21Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:24That proves nothing.
00:58:25I think it might prove something.
00:58:27Yeah, and those photos that you planted?
00:58:29Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:31You can't?
00:58:32Yes, they can.
00:58:34And you two are under arrest.
00:58:37No.
00:58:38You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:39The inheritance, they're nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:43You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:44I do.
00:58:54Yes, thank you.
00:58:56Thanks.
00:59:00Now that's a story.
00:59:02Here to twist the knife?
00:59:08Actually, I'm here to get it right.
00:59:12Where did you...
00:59:13Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:16Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:20So, no scandal piece?
00:59:22Oh.
00:59:23There's definitely a scandal.
00:59:25But, not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:31That's actually accurate.
00:59:33I'm a reporter.
00:59:35Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:37Though I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:42Yeah, neither did they.
00:59:44Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:47Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:56Only about the inheritance.
00:59:57I really think that I care about any of that now.
01:00:04Just take me home.
01:00:05Yes, dear.
01:00:17Sun's coming up.
01:00:18Must be a new record.
01:00:21It is for me.
01:00:24Any regrets?
01:00:26Only one.
01:00:29That didn't get your chef special sooner.
01:00:32Could have saved us last time.
01:00:33Yeah.
01:00:34Ow.
01:00:38Excuse me, sir.
01:00:39Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:41How bad is it?
01:00:43Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:45She's included the last bit you wanted to put in.
01:01:00Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:01:02In a shocking turn of events, tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans to transform
01:01:07his inherited fortune into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:12Surprised?
01:01:15But your inheritance is gone.
01:01:19Well, the inheritance, yeah.
01:01:21But it turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:24You sold the company?
01:01:26It turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:28Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:45Keep them thin, okay?
01:01:46Just like that.
01:01:46This looks good on you.
01:02:05And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:09Suckers.
01:02:09Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:13It depends.
01:02:15Did my wife make it?
01:02:16The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:19Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:27Hang on.
01:02:28Voila.
01:02:40And the best chef in town.
01:02:43You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:48I think that contract expired.
01:02:51Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:52We are gathered here today.
01:03:01No more business deals this time.
01:03:03Just love.
01:03:05Good.
01:03:06Because I have some terms of my own.
01:03:10First, you have to eat everything I cooked.
01:03:14Done.
01:03:16Second, no more locked rooms.
01:03:20Without me in it.
01:03:21Is that all?
01:03:26Third.
01:03:28You have to mean it this time.
01:03:30I met it the first time.
01:03:31Just didn't know yet.
01:03:34The rings?
01:03:35Actually.
01:03:41Is that...
01:03:42Something old.
01:03:44Something new.
01:03:45Something borrowed.
01:03:46Something...
01:03:48Not one.
01:03:51For better or worse.
01:04:00For real this time.
01:04:03You make us the bride.
01:04:04Thanks.
01:04:05Thanks.
01:04:20So...
01:04:21Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:25What are you...
01:04:25Lauren taught me back?
01:04:35Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:39I don't know.
01:04:41Mr. Thorne.
01:04:44Can you handle them?
01:04:45I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:50How about you just shut up?
01:04:52And kiss your wife?
01:04:53You
