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