00:00:01If this were a rom-com, how would it go?
00:00:06Well, since you're my boss, you'd obviously have to be a workaholic.
00:00:18And I'm an impressionable, underpaid assistant who just moved to the city.
00:00:25You force me to be your girlfriend to trick your parents.
00:00:32My father doesn't think that I'm serious enough to keep the division.
00:00:36And I hate every second of it.
00:00:39Are you enjoying the view?
00:00:42But then, helping you trick your parents lets me see you on a deeper level.
00:00:48And then what?
00:01:25Don't get distracted now, mister.
00:01:28Stop talking.
00:01:31You had better be yawning from the back of an Uber, mister.
00:01:34What? Oh, fuck. Kate's engagement party. You were supposed to remind me.
00:01:39I left 14 sticky notes on your desk. God damn it, you cannot be late to this.
00:01:44Who's that big boy?
00:01:46Please tell me this woman doesn't think she's got a shot with you.
00:01:49Um, she's from Portugal. She knows this is just a fling.
00:01:52You're cheating on me with someone from Portugal?
00:01:55On second thought, Grace, you're going to have to handle this for me.
00:01:59I'm calling the car. Shower off your bad decisions and get in.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:08This was fun, Nadia. But it's time for you to go. You can see yourself out, can't you?
00:02:22Hello?
00:02:34You know, you really should start watching where you're going.
00:02:37One of these days you're going to end up smeared across the hood of some Mercedes.
00:02:40So nice to see you too.
00:02:46How do I look?
00:02:47Perfect. I mean, fine. Good. You look good.
00:02:56I'm just glad you made it.
00:02:58Shall we?
00:03:00Mm-hmm.
00:03:02You know I've only ever met your family on the phone?
00:03:05Yeah, you'll see why.
00:03:26Do you know how much shit my father's going to give me now that I'm the only single wolf?
00:03:31Brennan!
00:03:33Oh, God. Deal with that, please.
00:03:38Naomi, isn't it? Look, it's nothing personal, but Brennan—
00:03:43You. You're the little assistant that's been keeping us apart.
00:03:47Because what? You think you have a shot with him? Whore?
00:03:52No, our relationship is strictly professional.
00:03:55It's pathetic. Give it up, sweetheart. He's not interested. You're just the girl who gets him his coffee.
00:04:13Well, look who it is! Big bro?
00:04:18Kate. Congratulations on all of this.
00:04:23It's great. I really do feel blessed.
00:04:28Marrying the love of my life soon. My division is killing it. Have you seen our projections?
00:04:35Yeah.
00:04:37You know, I could give you some pointers.
00:04:40I saw your numbers.
00:04:42Two percent growth is not going to cut it. Not when Dad is in slashing mode.
00:04:49Oh, you haven't heard? At next month's board meeting, if you're not caught up—
00:04:58Oh, but don't worry. I'm sure you'll find something.
00:05:05Maybe Mickey D's is hiring. You do look good in yellow.
00:05:13Now, if you don't mind, I have well-wishers to greet.
00:05:20Excuse me.
00:05:31Office. Now.
00:05:33But we just got here.
00:05:34Now.
00:05:36Now.
00:05:40So, the whole division's just gone?
00:05:45No. Because you're going to get an action plan on my desk by tomorrow.
00:05:49Tomorrow is Saturday.
00:05:52Mr. Wolf. I'm Howard Bernstein from the Bernstein Corporation.
00:05:58Now, I know we didn't have a meeting set up, but I have a potential business opportunity for you.
00:06:03Mr. Wolf, I really think we should discuss this.
00:06:13Apologize to my assistant, or the next meeting you take will be from a hospital bed.
00:06:18Oh, jeez. Okay, all right. God, okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:06:23I'm sorry!
00:06:27Now, you. Action plan. 6 p.m. tomorrow, and you get the fuck out of here and leave my assistant alone.
00:06:35You, sir, are a brute.
00:06:46Again?
00:06:48What is it?
00:06:49Miss Reynolds, I'm calling you as your mother's next of kin.
00:06:52Unfortunately, this call is to provide you with a time of death.
00:06:55Sorry. Excuse me. Time of death?
00:06:59Miss Reynolds, your mother is dead.
00:07:11Grace, I need you to get a hold of Miller at the, uh...
00:07:14What is it?
00:07:17My mother's dead.
00:07:22Grace, are you serious?
00:07:25Okay. Sorry, you said that we need Miller? You need me to call Jordan Miller?
00:07:31Grace, don't worry about that. You need to go.
00:07:34No, no, I can't. No, I can't. We've got...
00:07:37I'm telling you as your boss. You need to go.
00:07:39No, I can't. We've got...
00:07:41I'm telling you as your boss. You need to go.
00:07:43Grace...
00:08:08Why are you going back to work?
00:08:10Didn't Brendan give you, like, a whole month off?
00:08:14Yeah, but he needs me.
00:08:19Look, I know you're desperately in love with this man, but he...
00:08:23I am not.
00:08:29Okay, fine. I love him.
00:08:35Are you happy?
00:08:37I've loved him for five fucking years, and he does not give a shit about me.
00:08:43I give him all of my waking hours. I get rid of his hookups.
00:08:49I even check the security cameras on my phone every day because he doesn't trust the alarm company.
00:08:56You don't want him taking advantage of you? Then don't let him.
00:08:59You deserve love, not dirty work.
00:09:07Two percent growth in this economy is impressive. Above industry standard.
00:09:12Kate's division saw eight percent last month alone.
00:09:15Well, why don't we ask the IRS about Kate's growth?
00:09:19One of these days, that behavior is going to come back to bite her in the ass.
00:09:22It's not just business. Kate's a serious person. She's settling down.
00:09:27And you're still in the tabloids. With floozies.
00:09:31Ever since Dulcey...
00:09:32This has nothing to do with my personal life. I am more than capable of this.
00:09:37You want your division? Show me you're serious.
00:09:40Otherwise, I'll be making my recommendation to the board. I've got to go.
00:09:55Grace, what are you doing here? I thought you were still on bereavement.
00:10:02What is this?
00:10:04This is me.
00:10:07Quitting.
00:10:16No. Absolutely not.
00:10:19Excuse me?
00:10:21Look, if you still need more time to grieve...
00:10:23This is not about my mother.
00:10:27Brennan, I need a fresh start.
00:10:30I cannot keep going around in circles with you.
00:10:34These last five years, I have been torturing myself trying to get you to see that...
00:10:42It doesn't matter. I'm done.
00:10:51No. You're not.
00:10:54You're still under contract for another year.
00:10:56What kind of leader would I be if I just let my employees leave just because they wanted to have a fresh start?
00:11:04Do you want to do this the hard way, Brennan?
00:11:08Okay. Fine.
00:11:15Hi. I need to speak with one of your attorneys, please.
00:11:19No. Any one of them is fine.
00:11:20Okay.
00:11:22What the fuck? What are you doing?
00:11:25Look, I'll allow you to quit under one condition.
00:11:32You become my girlfriend.
00:11:36Excuse me?
00:11:38Look, my father doesn't think that I'm serious enough to keep the division.
00:11:42He and my mom are coming this weekend to stay with me for Kate's wedding and...
00:11:45I just... I need to prove to him that I'm done fucking around.
00:11:49Are you?
00:11:52Right. I didn't think so.
00:11:55So ask Naomi. Or Miss Portugal. Anyone.
00:12:00There's a line of girls a mile long who'd be happy to help you.
00:12:03But Grace, you're the only one that I trust.
00:12:10Look, if you do this for me,
00:12:12I'll void your contract.
00:12:14And then you can go and do whatever it is that you want.
00:12:17With a glowing recommendation from myself.
00:12:21I can't do this anymore, Brennan.
00:12:24I can't keep doing your dirty work.
00:12:27I deserve better. I deserve to...
00:12:30Grace!
00:12:32I need you.
00:12:42It's just for the weekend. Right?
00:12:45Just for your parents.
00:12:50Fine.
00:12:52Stay for the weekend. And then I'm gone.
00:13:02What the hell?
00:13:04What was that?
00:13:06Practice.
00:13:13Fuck.
00:13:22Brennan?
00:13:25Okay.
00:13:27You can do this. You just have to get through this weekend.
00:13:30And then you can forget about Brennan Wolfe for good.
00:13:36Hey, babe.
00:13:43Settling in?
00:13:49Feel free to use any open space.
00:13:52Just don't go to my side or get into any of my stuff.
00:13:56You don't seem to use your closet much.
00:14:01Are you enjoying the view?
00:14:09Wait.
00:14:13Here.
00:14:15Take this.
00:14:17What is this?
00:14:19Well, your wardrobe is passable as my assistant.
00:14:25But my girlfriend would never wear this.
00:14:29First thing in the morning, go and get yourself a new wardrobe.
00:14:32A hundred thousand max.
00:14:34A hundred thousand?
00:14:37No, I can't do that.
00:14:39No, I can't do that.
00:14:41No, just think of it as a bonus.
00:14:47Fine.
00:14:49It's getting late. I think I'm going to turn in.
00:14:54Do you mind?
00:14:56Most long-term couples share a bedroom.
00:15:10Absolutely not.
00:15:13Look, my parents get in tomorrow. We have to make this thing look real, at least.
00:15:18Okay, then tomorrow you're welcome to the floor.
00:15:22Until then, find another bedroom.
00:15:25There's like 50 in this place.
00:15:27Fine. You win.
00:15:31But I'll be downstairs watching a movie if you can't sleep.
00:15:36How about a rom-com?
00:15:40Sure.
00:16:00I want to do that.
00:16:02And I want you to do that.
00:16:06I want you now.
00:16:08Then what are you waiting for?
00:16:28Well, I think that's my cue.
00:16:31Good night, Brennan.
00:16:33I think I'm falling in love with you.
00:16:36Brennan, no, you don't have to say anything. I just... I wanted you to know.
00:16:52Brennan?
00:17:02What are you doing here?
00:17:05I'm sorry.
00:17:12So smooth.
00:17:36I'm sorry.
00:17:46Wow.
00:17:49You look... nice.
00:17:54Thanks.
00:17:56BELL RINGS
00:18:02They're here. Prepare yourself.
00:18:07Brenny!
00:18:10Mother.
00:18:12Oh my goodness.
00:18:14This must be Grace.
00:18:17Brennan!
00:18:19She is absolutely darling.
00:18:21Darling!
00:18:23No wonder you've been keeping her all to yourself.
00:18:28Still, you might have mentioned her at some point.
00:18:35Oh, that'll be Kate. She's here for dinner.
00:18:39Oh, I didn't realize she'd be joining us.
00:18:43Oh, well I wanted to include everyone. The whole family.
00:18:52Sweetheart.
00:18:54Oh, come here, honey bunny.
00:18:58I still can't believe you finally tamed my brother.
00:19:03How'd you do it?
00:19:07I was in Soho.
00:19:10Don't tell me you met in a bar.
00:19:14No, of course we didn't meet at a bar.
00:19:18Do you want to tell them, baby, or should I?
00:19:22Um, you tell it, sweetheart.
00:19:25I'll tell.
00:19:27I used to work for Cross & Co.
00:19:30I know, I know, you're biggest rivals.
00:19:33Brennan and I hated each other.
00:19:36Always stealing clients and competing.
00:19:39But I always thought he was... cute.
00:19:43One day, we were pitching the same client.
00:19:46We were coming out of the building when I took a step out into the road without looking.
00:19:49I know, I know, it's a terrible habit that I have.
00:19:53A car came barreling down the road at me, and before I knew it, I felt a pair of strong arms pull me back.
00:19:59And when I opened my eyes, I found myself staring up at your son.
00:20:04How could I hate him after that?
00:20:07And as they say, the rest is history.
00:20:11And, uh, I've been saving her from traffic ever since.
00:20:15Wow.
00:20:17Oh, my gosh.
00:20:19That sounds like something straight out of a movie.
00:20:23Doesn't it, honey?
00:20:25Hmm. Almost too good to be true.
00:20:28I tell you to get serious, and then you pick some random girl up off the street and say,
00:20:34I tell you to get serious, and then you pick some random girl up off the street and suddenly you're... you're in love?
00:20:43Samuel.
00:20:45You've always been this way. Always taking the easy way out.
00:20:49Content to settle in the middle, coasting along on your name and your money.
00:20:54You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:20:58Brennan cares more about his company than anyone I've ever met.
00:21:01He's dedicated and conscientious, and he's...
00:21:08Sam.
00:21:13Dinner and a show. Lucky me.
00:21:17Thanks for the fun night.
00:21:32Brennan, I...
00:21:33I have some contracts to go over. Excuse me.
00:21:51Oh, Mrs. Wolfe. I am so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I was completely out of line, and I want to apologize.
00:21:59Grace, I love my husband, but he's always been too hard on Brennan.
00:22:05Thank you so much for defending him.
00:22:10I can tell. You really do care for him.
00:22:15I do.
00:22:16I do.
00:22:28Nightcap?
00:22:33I thought you were mad at me.
00:22:35No, I...
00:22:40I just thank you for standing up for me tonight.
00:22:47I don't think it really helped our cause.
00:22:51I think your dad hates me.
00:22:54But my mom loves you, and so it cancels out.
00:23:00You were really good. I'm sure they'll buy it.
00:23:06How are you so good at this?
00:23:09At what?
00:23:11At pretending to be in love.
00:23:17Well...
00:23:20My mom and I used to watch rom-coms. It was kind of our thing.
00:23:26I remember. She would always tell me,
00:23:30Don't kid yourself. Real guys will always let you down, but rom-com guys are forever.
00:23:39Anyway, I guess what I meant was...
00:23:43I may not be good at real love, but I'm great at rom-coms.
00:23:51Plus, I mean, some of that is true. You are always saving me from traffic.
00:24:00Grace, you must really miss your mom.
00:24:06I'm so sorry.
00:24:13Yeah.
00:24:16It's hard.
00:24:18To lose the one person in the world who makes it all make sense.
00:24:26Yeah.
00:24:28Trust me. I get it.
00:24:32You lost someone?
00:24:34I thought I knew everything about you.
00:24:39Not everything.
00:24:43Do you want to talk about it?
00:24:54I don't know if I can. It's...
00:24:59It's okay. You can tell me.
00:25:13Maybe some other time.
00:25:20So, if this were a rom-com, how would it go?
00:25:29It's very funny.
00:25:31No, I'm actually being serious.
00:25:38Okay.
00:25:39Okay?
00:25:42Well, since you're my boss, you'd obviously have to be a workaholic.
00:25:51And I'm an impressionable underpaid assistant who just moved to the city.
00:25:57I'm not seeing the fiction there.
00:26:00So, you force me to be your girlfriend to trick your parents.
00:26:06And I hate every second of it.
00:26:10You know, being I'm a virgin who's never had a boyfriend and all.
00:26:13A virgin?
00:26:15In the story, mister.
00:26:20But then, helping you trick your parents lets me see you on a deeper level.
00:26:30And my carefree persona helps you see the world in color for the first time.
00:26:37And then what?
00:26:43Then, one night we're on the sofa, planning the next steps in our relationship.
00:26:50Then, I lean in, and you lean in, and then...
00:27:21So, something like that?
00:27:25Huh?
00:27:27I mean, if we're going to convince my parents, we'll have to kiss in front of them.
00:27:30So, something like that would work, right?
00:27:34Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's... that's fine.
00:27:40Good, yeah.
00:27:41Well, we should probably turn in.
00:27:44Sure.
00:28:12You are not going to be able to sleep like that.
00:28:15I'll be fine.
00:28:20Come on, this... this bed is pretty big.
00:28:27Plus, you need to be well-rested to keep up the ruse, right?
00:28:31Yeah, I know.
00:28:33I know.
00:28:34It's pretty big.
00:28:37Plus, you need to be well-rested to keep up the ruse, right?
00:28:43Just take the other side of the bed.
00:28:47Okay.
00:29:04Good night.
00:29:06Good night.
00:29:34Good night.
00:29:50Guys.
00:30:04Guys.
00:30:29Morning.
00:30:31Brennan.
00:30:34We need to talk.
00:30:38I owe you an apology, son.
00:30:41It, uh, pains me greatly to see that you're not like Kate, you know.
00:30:48Great apology so far.
00:30:50But you're still my son, and I care about you deeply.
00:30:56So, what do you know about this Grace?
00:31:01What do you mean?
00:31:02I've seen her type before.
00:31:05They appear from the woodwork and attach themselves to great families.
00:31:11They're like leeches.
00:31:13I do not want to see my company fall into the hands of some gold digger.
00:31:22How dare you talk about Grace like that?
00:31:25You have no idea what she's done for this company.
00:31:28For me. You have no idea what she's done for me.
00:31:30I couldn't do this without her.
00:31:32Without who?
00:31:38I'll be going.
00:31:40But think about what I said.
00:31:51What was that all about?
00:31:53We have to step up our game.
00:31:55Look, my father's still suspicious of you.
00:31:57What the fuck are we going to do? I thought this was going to work.
00:32:01Hey, it's okay.
00:32:04We'll figure this out.
00:32:06You said you think your mom likes me, right?
00:32:08Maybe we can convince your mom to talk to him and he'll come around.
00:32:14You know, that's not a bad idea.
00:32:28Ugh! What is wrong with this?
00:32:44You'd like it with cinnamon.
00:32:55So, about last night.
00:33:03Well, aren't you two just the cutest?
00:33:08Mom, I didn't see you come in.
00:33:11Sorry to interrupt you two lovebirds, but I was just on my way to pick out the flowers for the reception.
00:33:17Poor Kate. She's just so busy with her work that she has not any time to do wedding prep.
00:33:23So, would you like to come with me?
00:33:26Oh, she'd love to.
00:33:28Oh, I don't want to intrude.
00:33:30You too, mister.
00:33:32Mom, but I have to work.
00:33:34Oh, please. The last thing this family needs is another workaholic. Shall we?
00:33:43Hey, I love these flowers. I think you can be so excited about them.
00:33:48I know, I'm really excited.
00:33:49Thanks for taking me along, Jack.
00:33:51Grace!
00:33:57Every time.
00:34:20Mom, do you think you could maybe talk to Dad for us?
00:34:27You know, get him to ease up on Grace a bit.
00:34:32Of course, darling. Grace is an absolute angel and he needs to stop harping on her.
00:34:40Look at my son. How protective.
00:34:45I love it.
00:34:46How protective.
00:34:48I love it.
00:34:52What about these?
00:34:55I don't know.
00:34:57Oh, come on.
00:34:59Yellow is bright and fun.
00:35:05A rose for my rose.
00:35:08Yellow roses symbolize friendship.
00:35:11White roses, on the other hand, symbolize purity and loyalty.
00:35:16Brennan!
00:35:19What a coincidence.
00:35:22Jackie, why don't we go check out the lilies?
00:35:25Yeah, let's go.
00:35:32I need to talk to you.
00:35:34What are you doing here?
00:35:35What are you doing here?
00:35:37Look, I miss you, silly. And I know you miss me.
00:35:41Look, didn't Grace already tell you? Look, we're not a thing.
00:35:46You mean your bitch-ass assistant? You let her speak for you?
00:35:50Keep your voice down.
00:35:53Why are you defending her?
00:35:57Are you interested in her?
00:36:01No, that would be completely unprofessional.
00:36:06You know what? No. You need to leave. Now.
00:36:26Think happy and rich. Happy and rich. Beautiful.
00:36:30Alright, one more. Big smiles. Big, big smiles.
00:36:32Well, that'll never happen.
00:36:35What about a smirk?
00:36:37He can do a smirk.
00:36:44Alright, and how about a solo picture of a brother and girlfriend?
00:36:48Brother and girlfriend.
00:37:02You two are dating?
00:37:05Just take the picture.
00:37:08Come on, Brendan. Give her a kiss.
00:37:18Seriously? A real kiss.
00:37:49Real enough?
00:38:07Brendan, what the hell was that?
00:38:10Look, Grace, we've already talked about this. We have to make this look real.
00:38:14Look, Grace, we've already talked about this. We have to make this look real.
00:38:18I mean, if I hadn't kissed you...
00:38:20No, I mean you running away from me like I bit you.
00:38:23Come on, you said you were going to start pulling your weight.
00:38:25You're going to blow this whole thing.
00:38:27Blow what whole thing?
00:38:29Oh, nothing. Just the photo shoot.
00:38:33Brendan, you've got a little carried away.
00:38:35What's that?
00:38:37Family tradition.
00:38:39No. Kate.
00:38:41Consider it an early wedding present to me. Me and Alec versus you guys.
00:38:47Come on.
00:38:49We never got to play with Dulcy.
00:38:52Who's Dulcy?
00:38:55You haven't told her?
00:38:58Look, that's none of your business, Kate.
00:39:02Fine. Game on.
00:39:08Alright, it's easy.
00:39:11Hers means you have to answer questions about Brendan.
00:39:14His means he has to answer questions about you.
00:39:17Each correct answer gets a point. Whoever gets the most points wins.
00:39:21Are you ready to lose?
00:39:26How bad can it be? It's not like we're strangers.
00:39:29Let's start with a question for the boys.
00:39:32Alright, first question.
00:39:34What is your partner's go-to lunch?
00:39:41Okay.
00:39:49Okay.
00:39:51And three, two, one, flip.
00:39:58Oh, come on. The amount of times I picked that sandwich up for you at work.
00:40:03When I was surprising you.
00:40:06Great. Everybody gets a point.
00:40:10Grace, you pull.
00:40:12Another boys question.
00:40:20When did your partner lose their virginity?
00:40:31Three, two, one, flip.
00:40:34Okay, this is scary. You know me too well.
00:40:38That's the idea, babe.
00:40:45Alec, baby, it's you. Now it's about the girlies.
00:40:50What's your partner's favorite band?
00:41:04Three, two, one, flip.
00:41:10Katy Perry?
00:41:13What the hell is Blood Orange Grove?
00:41:20Bren, you're up.
00:41:33Okay.
00:41:50Alright, last question.
00:41:55What is your partner's favorite movie genre?
00:42:04And he gets a point.
00:42:07Finally, his first one.
00:42:09That makes 16 for the Lovebirds and 37 for me and Alec.
00:42:15Match made in heaven, baby.
00:42:30You remember you quit, right?
00:42:33You don't have to keep working for me.
00:42:36Yeah, well, who else is going to check the security cameras for you?
00:42:47Grace, I know you're upset.
00:42:51But it's just a stupid game, right?
00:42:55It doesn't matter.
00:42:57I think I'm going to turn in. Night.
00:43:00No, Grace.
00:43:03Look, I'm trying here.
00:43:06Okay? You can't just shut me out.
00:43:09Talk to me.
00:43:11There's nothing to say, Brennan.
00:43:14Look, you're right. None of this matters.
00:43:20After this weekend, we'll go our separate ways and back to reality.
00:43:24Speaking of, I drafted a list of replacement assistants.
00:43:29It should be in your email.
00:43:32Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:43:35Grace.
00:43:54Yeah.
00:44:20I'm sure he's not hiding anything.
00:44:22Maybe she's just an old friend or something.
00:44:24But it's not just that.
00:44:27The other day we were playing this couples game
00:44:30and he didn't know anything about me.
00:44:34I've made his life perfect for years
00:44:36and he couldn't even bother to learn my favorite band.
00:44:39I know it's hard, but clearly he cares about you.
00:44:43I mean, he brought you home to meet his parents.
00:44:45I'm sure he didn't do that with all the other girls.
00:44:52I need to tell you something.
00:44:55I thought maybe he was starting to fall for me.
00:45:24For real.
00:45:26I mean, we kissed a couple of times.
00:45:29And the other morning I woke up and he was holding me.
00:45:34I guess I was just deluding myself
00:45:36like Naomi and all the others.
00:45:39I said I was done with this.
00:45:42I quit for God's sakes.
00:45:44But then he roped me in and like a fucking idiot
00:45:47I let him pull me right back in.
00:45:50It's like I haven't learned anything.
00:45:52Grace, you're not an idiot.
00:45:54You're just a romantic.
00:45:56And that's different.
00:46:00I don't know.
00:46:02Maybe my mother was right.
00:46:05Real men always let you down.
00:46:09I'm not gonna get my hopes up.
00:46:11I just have to get through the weekend
00:46:13and then I can put Brennan Wolfe behind me.
00:46:16Cheers.
00:46:38Come in.
00:46:39Late night booty call in your office.
00:46:42Just like the good old days.
00:46:44Glad you finally saw the light, lover.
00:47:02Brennan?
00:47:05Baby?
00:47:07Where'd you go? I'm right here.
00:47:10No, this was, this was a mistake.
00:47:12You need, you need to go.
00:47:16No.
00:47:17The only mistake was you letting me go.
00:47:23No, you need to go.
00:47:26Get out.
00:47:28The fuck, Brennan?
00:47:29Go!
00:47:53Brenny?
00:47:54Is that you?
00:47:56Mom, what are you doing up?
00:48:00I have something for you.
00:48:02I wanted to give it to you earlier,
00:48:05but I just wanted to let you know how happy I am
00:48:07that you and Grace have found each other.
00:48:10It's just been so long since Dulcy
00:48:12and I was beginning to worry you'd never find it again.
00:48:18Mom, I...
00:48:20It's okay.
00:48:21You deserve to feel love again.
00:48:24I know now might not be the right time,
00:48:26but I wanted to give you this.
00:48:38Your father proposed to me with it,
00:48:41and when the time comes,
00:48:43maybe you could propose to Grace with it.
00:48:51It just, it feels so much like last time.
00:48:55Mom, what, what if that means
00:48:57that it's all gonna fall apart again?
00:49:00It's okay, sweetie.
00:49:02That feeling is fear,
00:49:04and all that means is that it's real.
00:49:21You said you needed to see me?
00:49:25Now who needs reminding that I quit?
00:49:28Look, there's something I want to tell you.
00:49:32I, uh, I want you to be my girlfriend.
00:49:39It feels like we've covered this.
00:49:41No, I mean, like, for real, this time.
00:49:48What did you just say?
00:49:50I've been an idiot, right?
00:49:53I've taken you for granted,
00:49:54and these last few days have made me realize
00:49:57I can't live without you.
00:49:59Rather, I don't want to.
00:50:04I want to make us official.
00:50:08What do you say?
00:50:17Wait.
00:50:26If I could live anywhere in the world,
00:50:28where would I live?
00:50:31What? I...
00:50:33Who's my hero?
00:50:36I...
00:50:37What's my mother's name?
00:50:39What's my favorite childhood memory?
00:50:42What are my favorite hobbies?
00:50:45Where am I from?
00:50:48You say you can't live without me, Brennan?
00:50:51No, you can't live without what I do for you.
00:50:54Besides the fact that I make your life easier,
00:50:57you don't know anything about me.
00:51:05I know that you're kind.
00:51:11I know that you're not afraid to
00:51:14stand up for people you care about.
00:51:18That you love your mom.
00:51:21That you're an extremely hard worker.
00:51:26That you snore.
00:51:32I know that you make me feel safe
00:51:35and happy and good.
00:51:39And if you give me a chance, I'll learn the rest.
00:51:45Please.
00:51:47Grace.
00:51:55Here.
00:52:23I've talked to you before.
00:52:36Hey there, beautiful.
00:52:50You've been up all night.
00:52:53And whose fault is that?
00:53:03Look at me.
00:53:12Hold still there, Mr. Wolf.
00:53:16This will make you look awake. There.
00:53:27Wow.
00:53:31You are a miracle worker.
00:53:35What else is new?
00:53:51You know, when I get married,
00:53:53I'm not inviting any of these people.
00:53:57In fact, I'm not inviting anyone at all.
00:53:59Vegas elopement.
00:54:02Elvis impersonator.
00:54:04Reception at the casino.
00:54:06It works.
00:54:08It's very romantic.
00:54:11Yeah.
00:54:13What about you?
00:54:16I don't know.
00:54:18Oh, come on.
00:54:19Don't tell me you haven't thought about it.
00:54:21I mean, doesn't every single one of those rom-coms
00:54:23have some sort of cliche fairy tale wedding?
00:54:28I guess I never imagined it
00:54:31because I've never been in love before.
00:54:35All the guys I've been with haven't.
00:54:38Something hasn't felt right.
00:54:41It's like I've been waiting for someone.
00:54:49What about you?
00:54:51What about me?
00:54:53Have you ever been in love?
00:54:59Excuse me.
00:55:00Do you mind if I borrow my son for a moment?
00:55:05Be my guest.
00:55:21Time to pay the piper, bro.
00:55:25What the fuck is this?
00:55:28Kate.
00:55:30The other night, I went down to get a drink of water,
00:55:35and that's when I heard your so-called girlfriend
00:55:38saying something very interesting to her little friend.
00:55:42She's not your girlfriend after all, is she?
00:55:45Look, Dad, I don't know what you're...
00:55:46No more of your lies, son.
00:55:48And do not ask your mother to intervene.
00:55:51I knew this was wrong from the get-go.
00:55:53Now I have proof.
00:55:55I'll be meeting with the board on Monday morning,
00:55:58and then you'll begin the process
00:56:00of transferring your division's assets over to...
00:56:03Wait!
00:56:05Look, I don't know what Kate heard or thinks she heard,
00:56:10but what Grace and I have is real.
00:56:13I swear.
00:56:17I'll prove it.
00:56:43Excuse me, everyone.
00:56:46Excuse me, may I please just have a moment of your time?
00:56:50And will my lovely girlfriend, Grace Reynolds, please join me?
00:57:09Grace, I've known you for a very long time.
00:57:14It honestly feels like forever.
00:57:16And recently, something's changed,
00:57:19and I've realized just how deep my love for you runs.
00:57:23And now I'd like to formalize that love.
00:57:39My father gave my mother this ring 30 years ago,
00:57:42and through all the hardships they've endured,
00:57:44this ring has remained a symbol of their enduring love.
00:57:48Yesterday my mother gave it to me,
00:57:51and today I'd like to give it to you.
00:57:54Grace Reynolds, will you do me the honors
00:57:57of making me the happiest man on Earth
00:58:01and allow me to be your husband?
00:58:13Yes.
00:58:15I'll marry you.
00:58:43I need to talk to you.
00:58:47Grace, I know, I know, but my father and Kate,
00:58:50they were circling me and...
00:58:52You will solve my contract today.
00:58:54I'll stay with you publicly
00:58:56until your father agrees to leave your division alone,
00:58:58but then I'm gone.
00:59:00And I never want to see you again.
00:59:03Why?
00:59:13Grace, this was a mistake.
00:59:16But I put a stop to it.
00:59:18I promise, nothing happened.
00:59:20Why should I believe you?
00:59:22I mean, it's on the tape.
00:59:24Watch it.
00:59:26Grace, you've been my assistant for five years.
00:59:32You know me.
00:59:34You know everything about me.
00:59:37Not everything.
00:59:40Not everything?
00:59:42What's that supposed to mean?
00:59:44Who's Dulcy?
00:59:47This is... personal.
00:59:50Well, you just asked me to marry you,
00:59:53so what's yours is mine, right, honey?
00:59:58Who is she?
01:00:03Nothing to say.
01:00:07Well, it doesn't matter,
01:00:09because I'm done.
01:00:12Grace?
01:00:37Oh, thank God.
01:00:40What is this? Where am I?
01:00:46What's wrong with me?
01:00:49Grace, just calm down, okay?
01:00:51You're going to hurt yourself.
01:00:53You were hit by a car.
01:00:56What?
01:00:58You've got a spinal injury.
01:01:00And, well, you're suffering from paralysis.
01:01:03But it's only temporary.
01:01:05The doctor said that you'll walk again.
01:01:07Your body needs time to recover.
01:01:10I should be in a hospital.
01:01:13Grace, we have the very best doctors on retainer.
01:01:17Mom, can Grace and I just have a moment, please?
01:01:20Of course.
01:01:22But if you need anything, just call.
01:01:24I'll be in the next room.
01:01:26Grace.
01:01:35Grace, when I saw you outside on the street,
01:01:37I was so fucking scared I thought I'd lost you.
01:01:40Lost your little prop, you mean?
01:01:44How could you say that?
01:01:45Do you really think I don't care about you?
01:01:48Brennan, if your father wasn't in the picture,
01:01:51would you have even asked me out?
01:01:56I...
01:01:57Yeah, I didn't think so.
01:02:01You can keep trying to trick yourself into thinking
01:02:03that you care about me,
01:02:04but this whole time you were just playing pretend.
01:02:08I'll stay here until I can walk again,
01:02:10but we're over.
01:02:13Grace, I...
01:02:21Okay, whatever you want.
01:02:42That's not true.
01:02:43Angela, I love you.
01:02:48Love isn't a single tender thought about me
01:02:50in the middle of the night, Xavier.
01:02:52I know that.
01:02:54Ahem.
01:02:59I, uh, thought you might be hungry.
01:03:04I made lasagna.
01:03:06Belle told me it was your favorite.
01:03:09Can I at least leave it by your bed?
01:03:14Okay.
01:03:27Fuck.
01:03:30Look, let me see it, let me see it.
01:03:33All right, you're okay, but...
01:03:36It's just cramping because you've been in the bed so long.
01:03:38It just needs to be massaged.
01:03:42Just, just fucking do it.
01:03:45Okay.
01:03:47Oh, breathe.
01:03:49Breathe into it.
01:03:51Right there.
01:03:53Breathe.
01:03:55Steady.
01:03:57Calm, slow it down.
01:04:00Breathe.
01:04:11You can stop.
01:04:19Of course.
01:04:23You're good at that.
01:04:27Yeah.
01:04:29You've got quite a bit of experience.
01:04:35You know, I think it's time I told you about Dulce.
01:04:47She was my fiancée.
01:04:50You were engaged?
01:04:53Yeah.
01:04:56We were young.
01:04:59She was a free spirit.
01:05:01In love with the world.
01:05:03And I admired that.
01:05:05Honestly, I wanted to be just like her.
01:05:10I asked her to marry me after two weeks.
01:05:19A month after the engagement, we got the diagnosis.
01:05:27And six months later, I buried her.
01:05:32We never got to walk down the aisle.
01:05:35I'm so sorry, Brennan.
01:05:39So I just, I pushed down my emotions and drowned myself in girlfriends and one night stands, but nothing worked.
01:05:50And I thought, if I fell in love again, that something terrible would happen.
01:05:55And I was right.
01:06:01Are you saying, are you saying you love me?
01:06:06Grace.
01:06:08How could I not love you?
01:06:17Look, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness or your love.
01:06:24But please, let me take care of you like you've taken care of me for so long.
01:06:33Just until you recover.
01:06:36Then you can go.
01:06:44Fuck, Belle, that hurts.
01:06:46That's good.
01:06:48Dr. Hurt says that's a good sign.
01:06:50It means you're getting your feeling back.
01:07:04Hey, you know what you're going to tell him?
01:07:06I think he means what he said.
01:07:09But it took him forever to be honest, and he used me for so long.
01:07:16I don't know.
01:07:18Maybe my mom was right.
01:07:20Men aren't like in the rom-coms.
01:07:22Of course they're not.
01:07:24Girl, those guys are made up.
01:07:27That's like a dude getting mad at you for not being like the girls in the pronouns.
01:07:31It's not the same.
01:07:34You know, he admitted he was wrong, and now he's trying to make it better.
01:07:38In my book, that's worth a shot.
01:07:42All right, let's do the other side.
01:07:59Of course.
01:08:08Doc told me you're doing really well.
01:08:10He said you stood up today.
01:08:13Yeah, for a whole two seconds.
01:08:16Still.
01:08:18That's amazing.
01:08:22I'm so proud of you.
01:08:28I guess that means that you'll be leaving soon.
01:08:32Yeah, I guess.
01:08:38Well, before you go to bed, want to watch a rom-com?
01:08:42Heard there's a new one on Netflix.
01:08:47No, I'm okay.
01:08:49I'm feeling a bit tired.
01:08:51Want to read a book?
01:08:53I actually went ahead and picked you up a copy of Pride and Prejudice, just in case.
01:08:58Or I could read it to you, if you want.
01:09:04Actually, I already started.
01:09:07I'm not sure I understand it, because Darcy's kind of a dick.
01:09:14He gets better.
01:09:19Got it.
01:09:20No, I'm okay.
01:09:26Want to listen to some music before you go to bed?
01:09:46Ever heard of those Blood Orange Grove guys?
01:09:51I hear they're pretty good.
01:10:18Grace, I'm so sorry, but my family is here. I swear I had no idea they were coming.
01:10:24But I'll tell them to leave me.
01:10:25It's okay.
01:10:27No, you're still recovering.
01:10:31And I still haven't told them that we're not together anymore.
01:10:35I was just going to tell them we broke up as soon as you left.
01:10:40Brennan, it's okay.
01:10:43I can do this.
01:10:47Well, we wanted to come earlier, but somebody made us wait until you were better.
01:10:56Well, I'm really glad that you're all here.
01:11:04Grace and Brennan, I'd like to apologize for the way I've behaved.
01:11:12I thought it was acting in the best interest of my son, and I see now that I was wrong.
01:11:20So I would like to give this union my full blessing.
01:11:26No.
01:11:28Stop.
01:11:30Mom, Dad, there's something I need to tell you.
01:11:37Brennan, what are you doing?
01:11:42Grace isn't my fiancée.
01:11:50She was my assistant.
01:11:54She tried to quit, but I wouldn't let her.
01:11:58In fact, I blackmailed her into pretending to be my girlfriend so that you would keep my division open.
01:12:11Grace is a beautiful, lovely, kind, and sweet woman, and I used her to further my own goals.
01:12:27Even now, she's still helping me when I almost got her killed, because that's just who she is.
01:12:38I won't let you continue lying for me anymore.
01:12:45Everything you said is true. I'm an unserious playboy, but this playboy wants to do better.
01:12:54So if you have to close my division, I guess I understand.
01:13:01Sam, don't.
01:13:09I didn't even have to beat you. You did it for me.
01:13:15Enough, Kate. Go wait in the car.
01:13:34I am so proud of you. I mean it.
01:13:38I was so brave of you to tell the truth, but I could tell you were keeping something from us.
01:13:46But I could also see that you and Grace really care for each other, and that it wasn't a lie, even when you thought it was.
01:13:58Now, I'll let you two talk this through.
01:14:10Brennan.
01:14:13Grace, I understand if you just want to go home now. I can send your stuff to your apartment, but don't worry, I won't be coming with it.
01:14:24Brennan.
01:14:27I'm not leaving.
01:14:30You're not?
01:14:34My whole life, I thought if a guy couldn't measure up to the Nora Ephron or Nancy Meyers heroes, he wasn't worth it.
01:14:45But maybe it's good that you're not this perfect guy, because I'm not a porn star.
01:14:53What?
01:14:57It sounded better when Belle said it.
01:15:03I guess maybe fantasies are fantasies for a reason.
01:15:09And after all of this, I realized I don't want a fairy tale.
01:15:16I want real.
01:15:19I want you.
01:15:22I want to give us a chance.
01:15:28And one day, a long, long time into the future, maybe you can give this back to me.
01:15:41Not today.
01:15:43Clear?
01:15:57Crystal.
01:16:08I can't believe you told your parents everything.
01:16:12Sam is definitely going to shut down your division now.
01:16:17What are you going to do?
01:16:22I think I have an idea.
