00:00:00They say the most primal human things are fighting, and well, I was about to learn both.

00:00:16Every girl wants to find her prince charming, but unfortunately we don't exactly live in

00:00:21a fairy tale world.

00:00:23There's no such thing as happily ever after.

00:00:26Where is the duck for table two?

00:00:29Table two ordered something special, chef.

00:00:32No, table two ordered the special and the special is the duck.

00:00:37What is this?

00:00:38Nothing.

00:00:39Yes, exactly.

00:00:40This is nothing.

00:00:41Now, the duck.

00:00:42Just do what your boss says, Lily.

00:00:45You can't afford to lose another job.

00:00:47How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?

00:00:51Table two, the duck.

00:00:56So I'm thinking about adopting a dog, you know, like the little tiny dogs that can fit

00:01:00in your handbag.

00:01:01They're so cute.

00:01:02So anyway, once your inheritance is secure, the Morrison deal is all in the bag.

00:01:07But what is this mystery clause you want to tell us about, Jack?

00:01:12Jack?

00:01:14Jack?

00:01:16Hello?

00:01:18Yeah, the dog.

00:01:22Hi.

00:01:25Hi.

00:01:30You ordered the special?

00:01:31Actually, I...

00:01:32Trust me.

00:01:33Who is that girl?

00:01:34Something about her.

00:01:35It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.

00:01:36Well, that was presumptuous.

00:01:37Huh?

00:01:38The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?

00:01:39Don't tell me you're actually impressed by that little slut, Jack.

00:01:40It looks good.

00:01:41The food or the waitress?

00:01:42The food.

00:01:43The food.

00:01:44The food.

00:01:45The food.

00:01:46The food.

00:01:47The food.

00:01:48The food.

00:01:49The food.

00:01:50The food.

00:01:51The food.

00:01:52The food.

00:01:53The food.

00:01:54What?

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.

00:02:08You are fired.

00:02:09Get out of here.

00:02:10Not this again.

00:02:11What did you say?

00:02:12I am serious this time, you are fired.

00:02:16You get out of here!

00:02:18What?

00:02:19You take this.

00:02:20You clean up your act, you get out!

00:02:21No, please, sir, it won't happen again.

00:02:22This is no more Mr. Nice Guy this time! You get out! You leave!

00:02:25Please!

00:02:26No! Now!

00:02:31They're taking the trash out, I see.

00:02:36Yeah, the trash.

00:02:41Asshole!

00:02:52Don't scream, don't scream, baby.

00:03:05Or do you want to scream for me?

00:03:12Hey!

00:03:13No!

00:03:21Hey, wait!

00:03:43Not now, weren't I?

00:03:46Jack, my man.

00:03:47Cupasso.

00:03:48So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.

00:03:51When are you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?

00:03:53The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.

00:03:57Yeah.

00:03:58Yeah, come on, are you even listening?

00:04:00I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.

00:04:03And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.

00:04:05Are you going to be that guy?

00:04:07Um...

00:04:10How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?

00:04:14Maybe next time.

00:04:18Thanks.

00:04:20Call me.

00:04:21I'll call you back.

00:04:22Jack, come on.

00:04:23He hung up on me.

00:04:24Jack's never done that before.

00:04:26If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then the Morrison deal's over.

00:04:31We're over.

00:04:33Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.

00:04:37I've got just the plan.

00:04:45Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.

00:04:55How am I going to find her again?

00:05:03You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.

00:05:06You out of your mind?

00:05:07Vivian and I are done.

00:05:09Never again.

00:05:10She's just... business now.

00:05:12Very well, sir.

00:05:14Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.

00:05:17I'll find another wife.

00:05:19I'm afraid not.

00:05:20But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.

00:05:24You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.

00:05:29I know, I know.

00:05:30And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.

00:05:34The inheritance must be claimed within the month.

00:05:37And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.

00:05:43Especially your wife.

00:05:45Or I lose everything.

00:05:47Everything.

00:05:58Don't complain about anything.

00:06:00I don't complain. I don't.

00:06:02All I'm saying is, you're gonna have to start living in the real world.

00:06:05I am living in the real world.

00:06:13Really?

00:06:14Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.

00:06:17Creative... differences.

00:06:20There are always creative differences with you.

00:06:24Lily.

00:06:26You gotta open up your own place.

00:06:28You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.

00:06:30So you gotta show the world what you got.

00:06:33Besides, I have my share of money.

00:06:36But without yours, we're never gonna be able to afford mom's operation.

00:06:41Yeah, and it'll be all my fault.

00:06:44Lily.

00:06:47There is an opening at my office.

00:06:50Seriously?

00:06:51It's stable.

00:06:53Health insurance. 401K.

00:06:55I'd rather die.

00:06:56You'd rather be broke.

00:06:57No, I'd rather...

00:07:01Fuck.

00:07:05How can you help mom when you can't even take care of yourself?

00:07:13Fine. Yeah, you're right.

00:07:16Let's do it.

00:07:31Hi.

00:07:33Name?

00:07:35Lily Dunning.

00:07:37Can I help you?

00:07:38Yes, I'm here for the job interview.

00:07:40My sister's Megan.

00:07:41She works here.

00:07:43Last place of employment?

00:07:45Chez Francois.

00:07:47A restaurant?

00:07:48Yes.

00:07:49I'm here for the job interview.

00:07:50My sister's Megan.

00:07:51She works here.

00:07:53Last place of employment?

00:07:55Chez Francois.

00:07:57A restaurant?

00:07:58Yes.

00:07:59I'm a chef.

00:08:00My passion's cooking, so I...

00:08:03And does this look like a restaurant to you?

00:08:05No.

00:08:07No, of course not.

00:08:09And why do you think someone like you could work here?

00:08:14I just need a job.

00:08:17Sorry, I'm...

00:08:18Thanks.

00:08:19We'll let you know, okay?

00:08:22You can go now.

00:08:24Bye-bye.

00:08:30Fuck!

00:08:34Screw this!

00:08:38Fuck!

00:08:48What are you looking at?!

00:08:57I'm sorry, Mom.

00:08:58I've tried everything, and I've let you down.

00:09:00You?

00:09:04Me.

00:09:08You dropped something.

00:09:10How did you...?

00:09:15What are you doing here?

00:09:17I have a proposition for you.

00:09:19Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.

00:09:23Well, hold on.

00:09:24Just hear me out.

00:09:26I heard you get fired.

00:09:28I know you don't have any money.

00:09:31Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.

00:09:33I'm doing fine, thank you.

00:09:36Really?

00:09:39What if I told you this proposition could solve all your problems?

00:09:44Really?

00:09:45Solve all my problems?

00:09:48I've got a lot of problems.

00:09:50What if I told you I need a wife?

00:09:52I'd tell you that there are apps for that.

00:09:54For one year?

00:09:55Classy!

00:09:56Look, listen.

00:09:58I have a very important business deal with some very important people involved.

00:10:02And they need to see stability.

00:10:05Okay, so find someone stable.

00:10:07Well, that's just it.

00:10:09I need someone who won't fall in love with me.

00:10:11Someone who will just walk away after the year.

00:10:14And you seem uniquely qualified.

00:10:17I thought you'd think I'm good at walking away.

00:10:26Okay, well, what's in it for me?

00:10:28Anything you want.

00:10:29Money.

00:10:30A place to live.

00:10:32Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.

00:10:35Just think of it as a business deal.

00:10:45Wow.

00:10:48Yeah, that's a really big diamond.

00:10:51It's just a very small part of the deal.

00:10:59You'll have your whole wing of the house.

00:11:02My own wing?

00:11:04Complete privacy.

00:11:06But you will have to attend events with me.

00:11:08Play the happy wife.

00:11:29This is, um...

00:11:33Specific.

00:11:35I like clarity.

00:11:44Hm.

00:11:46Wife agrees to perform...

00:11:50Hm.

00:11:52Very...

00:11:54Specific.

00:11:55Is there a problem?

00:11:58Jack, we need to talk.

00:12:02What's going on here?

00:12:10I'm saying yes.

00:12:26To everything.

00:12:41Do you, Jack Thorne...

00:12:45This is insane.

00:12:47Shut up, Warren.

00:12:49Take Lily Dunin to be your lawfully wedded wife.

00:12:53This is fucking nuts.

00:12:55Shut the fuck up.

00:12:57I do.

00:13:00I now pronounce you...

00:13:02Husband and wife.

00:13:25This marriage, it's...

00:13:27It's just a contract.

00:13:56Well...

00:13:59I think that the contract says that...

00:14:03This is my room.

00:14:13Good night, husband.

00:14:26And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.

00:14:30And the room on the left is the kitchen.

00:14:43And we have the west wing library and the east wing pool.

00:14:50How do you find anything in here?

00:14:53One adopts, madam.

00:15:05And this room is the...

00:15:09Oh, dear.

00:15:12Would you excuse me?

00:15:13Of course.

00:15:14Apologies.

00:15:25What are you doing here?

00:15:56Shit.

00:16:12Oh, my gosh.

00:16:17Problem?

00:16:20This is...

00:16:22A lot.

00:16:24The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions.

00:16:27Including tonight's charity gala.

00:16:30I can't accept this.

00:16:31You can.

00:16:32And you won't.

00:16:35Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.

00:16:42You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.

00:16:44Wouldn't dream of it.

00:16:54Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?

00:16:57Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.

00:17:12And then I said,

00:17:13if you want me to cut this steak,

00:17:15I don't need a knife.

00:17:16I need a chainsaw.

00:17:17Okay.

00:17:19Jackie,

00:17:20there you are.

00:17:21Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.

00:17:23We simply must celebrate.

00:17:26Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.

00:17:29That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?

00:17:33I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.

00:17:41My God.

00:17:42This is a $10,000 Valentino.

00:17:45I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to.

00:17:47$10,000 Valentino.

00:17:49I'm sorry, but I didn't even do anything.

00:17:52Where did you find this one, Jackie?

00:17:54Waitress staff training school?

00:17:56Vivian.

00:17:59Oh, that was it.

00:18:00She was actually a waitress.

00:18:02Or, I don't remember.

00:18:04Whatever it was.

00:18:06Excuse me.

00:18:09So, what you got to say?

00:18:12We're done with the ex.

00:18:18As I was saying.

00:18:44You know, you should really come over here and taste this.

00:18:47Okay.

00:19:11Wow.

00:19:13Good?

00:19:14Surprisingly good.

00:19:15Surprisingly good?

00:19:19Well, payment for spying.

00:19:21Payment accepted.

00:19:23You know,

00:19:25a 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.

00:19:46You can go now.

00:20:03You, um, wanted to see me?

00:20:07Time for your first lesson.

00:20:09My what?

00:20:11Self-defense.

00:20:13Never know when you might need it.

00:20:15I don't know if that's really...

00:20:16Number one.

00:20:17Stance.

00:20:20Move the feet apart.

00:20:22Bend this knee.

00:20:24Yep.

00:20:25Then move this foot forward.

00:20:27Good.

00:20:28Okay.

00:20:29Now, hands up.

00:20:31Protect the face.

00:20:33Okay.

00:20:35Now, like this.

00:20:38No.

00:20:39Like this.

00:20:40Oh, God, sorry.

00:20:46I'm not really good at this.

00:20:49We're just getting started.

00:20:51Oh.

00:20:54Maybe we should just focus on business.

00:20:57Rule number one.

00:21:00Stance.

00:21:02Right?

00:21:07Yeah.

00:21:32Every chef needs proper tools.

00:21:34I have a business expense.

00:21:38Business expense.

00:21:41These aren't the best knives in the market.

00:21:44The best knives to the best chef.

00:21:49Why are you doing this?

00:21:51The contract.

00:21:52No.

00:21:54The real reason.

00:21:56Maybe I just like watching you work.

00:22:01Maybe...

00:22:04You just like watching me.

00:22:08You know that, um...

00:22:11This doesn't change anything.

00:22:13Of course not.

00:22:19This is for your mother.

00:22:26The...

00:22:27No, this is too much.

00:22:28This should cover the whole thing.

00:22:31At least I can do it.

00:22:37I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.

00:22:41What's the catch?

00:22:54We've got a problem.

00:22:56Morning to you, too.

00:22:57So, the inheritance release date is set, but...

00:23:00If anyone finds out about the marriage, then...

00:23:02No one's gonna find out.

00:23:03Oh, really?

00:23:04Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.

00:23:07It's under control.

00:23:08Is it?

00:23:12Because it seems like you're letting your feelings control all your...

00:23:14I said it's handled.

00:23:26Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?

00:23:29This Morrison deal...

00:23:31Is a deal of a lifetime.

00:23:35Don't tell me you're actually fooling...

00:23:37Get out!

00:24:04Fuck.

00:24:35I love you.

00:24:36I love you.

00:24:37I love you.

00:24:38I love you.

00:24:39I love you.

00:24:40I love you.

00:24:41I love you.

00:24:42I love you.

00:24:43I love you.

00:24:44I love you.

00:24:45I love you.

00:24:46I love you.

00:24:47I love you.

00:24:48I love you.

00:24:49I love you.

00:24:50I love you.

00:24:51I love you.

00:24:52I love you.

00:24:53I love you.

00:24:54I love you.

00:24:55I love you.

00:24:56I love you.

00:24:57I love you.

00:24:58I love you.

00:24:59I love you.

00:25:00I love you.

00:25:01I love you.

00:25:02I love you.

00:25:04I love you.

00:25:11Oh no.

00:25:13God!

00:25:28Jack, darling.

00:25:29Fancy seeing you here.

00:25:31Vivienne.

00:25:3252 Crystal.

00:25:35Remember the Crystal Jack?

00:25:37I can still feel it running down my back,

00:25:39just 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

00:25:47about the Asian market today.

00:25:52Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:25:53This must be so boring for you.

00:25:56It's 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

00:26:05or whatever it is that you do?

00:26:08So basically, you know, the company way

00:26:09that we have our investments holding in?

00:26:11I had a business meeting with Hannah today

00:26:13and she has basically advised me to say that

00:26:15our 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...

00:26:29Why the whirlwind romance you've got there?

00:26:43What's the catch?

00:26:45There's always a catch.

00:26:47Excuse me.

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

00:26:58in 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.

00:27:21I have a feeling there's quite a story here.

00:27:32The Morrison Foundation dinner's tonight.

00:27:34Oh, great.

00:27:35Another dinner.

00:27:36It's important.

00:27:37They're all important.

00:27:39It'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.

00:27:46Did I?

00:27:50At least Vivian will be there to talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.

00:27:57Whatever.

00:28:10Nice.

00:28:11Real mature.

00:28:15No, don't.

00:28:19Okay.

00:28:20Okay, fine.

00:28:21You wanna go?

00:28:22Nope.

00:28:23No, no, please.

00:28:24Okay, go ahead.

00:28:25No, no, no.

00:28:26Yeah, yeah.

00:28:27No, no, no, no.

00:28:28No, no, no, no.

00:28:29Let go.

00:28:30No.

00:28:31Ah!

00:28:32Nope.

00:28:33No.

00:28:34Ow!

00:29:05Yeah.

00:29:17So Jack's inheritance is all set, but he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds

00:29:22to the Morrison deal.

00:29:25That's a problem.

00:29:26Hmm.

00:29:27It's the girl, isn't it?

00:29:29The waitress.

00:29:30You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.

00:29:32And I thought you had everything under control.

00:29:34No, I've done my part.

00:29:37That's under way.

00:29:38And I thought you'd have your part under control.

00:29:42I have everything under control.

00:29:44Oh, really?

00:29:45Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.

00:29:47You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over Jack.

00:29:51You haven't overestimated anything.

00:29:53I've just begun.

00:29:58I've got it.

00:29:59I've got it.

00:30:11Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.

00:30:15I live here.

00:30:16Of course you do.

00:30:19Okay, thanks.

00:30:22Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study?

00:30:26We need to discuss the Morrison deal.

00:30:27Yeah.

00:30:28Yeah.

00:30:29We have to discuss the Morrison deal.

00:30:39Vivian?

00:30:42Remember Tokyo?

00:30:45That sake bar?

00:30:47I'm married.

00:30:48Ah, you know.

00:30:52I hadn't noticed.

00:30:53Uh-huh.

00:30:54You know that feeling when you leave the house?

00:30:59and you just feel like you've forgotten something I forgot something maybe you

00:31:15can help me figure it out coffee oh no thank you

00:31:27Jack and I have much to catch up on oh and Jack doesn't drink coffee do you

00:31:33Jack actually I've taken it up recently I guess before me Jack never really had

00:31:38coffee how he liked it and he just absolutely laps up every drop of my

00:31:47coffee isn't that right well he makes a great

00:31:52cup of coffee so how's Vivian focus on your form you know just wondering how

00:32:08long with two of you ancient history it's not what I heard from who around

00:32:15Tokyo gets brought up a lot you've been talking to Warren you've been talking to

00:32:21Vivian that's business everything is business with you isn't it you know what

00:32:32what's this it's a pretty big business that you haven't been sharing with me I

00:32:40think Vivian wants some of it too but you know what maybe you should just keep

00:32:48your business to yourself sad watch your stance I don't want to be lied to

00:33:00I'm not lying Lily don't break my heart

00:43:18I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.

00:43:22Lily, wait.

00:43:26Just go.

00:43:42Okay.

00:43:59The way I can explain.

00:44:02Can you?

00:44:06Guess some business can't wait.

00:44:13This whole thing is...

00:44:15Let me get this straight.

00:44:17You sleep with him and then you find a note from his ex.

00:44:21It's complicated.

00:44:22When isn't it with you?

00:44:24Look, maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little...

00:44:27What? A mistake?

00:44:29That you were right?

00:44:31Huh? Is that what you want to hear?

00:44:33No, I want you to be happy.

00:44:36And are you?

00:44:37I want you to be happy.

00:44:39And are you?

00:44:42I don't know what I am anymore.

00:44:44I mean, he paid for mom's operation, so that's cool, but...

00:44:47I know.

00:44:48And the worst part is, I think I might actually be falling for...

00:44:57Lily?

00:44:58Stand back.

00:44:59What?

00:45:00Stand back, Megan.

00:45:07Guys!

00:45:12Get him out!

00:45:13Go, motherfucker!

00:45:15Oh my God!

00:45:16Fuck you!

00:45:18Come on, let's go.

00:45:25What was that?

00:45:27Lessons with Jack.

00:45:29Jack taught you that?

00:45:31Yeah, yeah.

00:45:33Dude's getting better by a minute.

00:45:34I know.

00:45:36Oh man.

00:45:39You okay?

00:45:40Yeah.

00:45:42God, things were supposed to be so simple.

00:45:46Now what?

00:45:48I don't even know what's real anymore.

00:45:51Come on, honey.

00:45:52I can't.

00:46:05He always keeps the ledger on his desk.

00:46:35Lauren, I've known you since college.

00:46:38How could you?

00:46:44Eleven months.

00:46:46Almost a year.

00:46:49I barely knew him as anymore.

00:47:02Lily, I need to tell you something.

00:47:03I'm all ears.

00:47:05It's about the deal.

00:47:07About Lauren, Vivian.

00:47:09Well, if it isn't the happy couple.

00:47:12Oh, great.

00:47:14The press.

00:47:25These aren't real.

00:47:27Oh, my sisters say they're very real.

00:47:29Story runs in 48 hours.

00:47:32Lily, this is what I was just about to tell you.

00:47:34I've been set up.

00:47:37Care to comment, Mr. Thorne?

00:47:41You know, it's funny.

00:47:43For a minute, I really believed.

00:47:46Lily, wait.

00:47:50They're not real.

00:47:52Tick tock, Mr. Thorne.

00:48:02Lily, wait.

00:48:04They're not real.

00:48:06You have to believe me.

00:48:08Like I believed you when you said

00:48:10that this was just a business deal?

00:48:12Like I believed you when you said

00:48:14that Vivian was just a colleague.

00:48:17Like I believed that last night

00:48:19actually meant something.

00:48:21It did.

00:48:23Lily, what happened between us was real.

00:48:25The transaction.

00:48:27That's all any of this ever was.

00:48:28That's all any of this ever was.

00:48:30That's not true.

00:48:32And you know it.

00:48:34Do I?

00:48:36Because from where I'm standing,

00:48:38you got everything that you wanted.

00:48:40You got a wife when you needed one

00:48:42and a body when you wanted one.

00:48:44Lily, that's not it.

00:48:46Tell me I'm wrong.

00:48:48Tell me that there's not something more going on here

00:48:50with the business deal and your inheritance.

00:48:53Anything more to explain?

00:48:59That's what I thought.

00:49:04You're a terrible person.

00:49:07If you leave now,

00:49:09you violate the contract.

00:49:11You get nothing.

00:49:13I don't care.

00:49:16I never cared about any of that.

00:49:29Hands up.

00:49:31Protect the face.

00:49:33No, don't.

00:49:36Go?

00:49:38No.

00:49:47Mornin'.

00:49:49Finally, look.

00:49:51You're not alone.

00:49:53You're not alone.

00:49:55You're not alone.

00:49:56Finally, look.

00:49:58About the Morrison deal.

00:50:00It's off.

00:50:02What do you mean, it's off?

00:50:04All of it.

00:50:06The deal, the inheritance.

00:50:08I don't want any of it.

00:50:10Have you lost your freaking mind?

00:50:12I mean, everything that we've worked for.

00:50:14Actually,

00:50:16I think I've found it.

00:50:27You can't just hide here forever.

00:50:29Watch me.

00:50:57Hey.

00:50:59What happened to the girl

00:51:00who would never back down?

00:51:03The one who quit her job

00:51:04because she didn't want to compromise?

00:51:06She played.

00:51:07Did she?

00:51:13If that's Jack,

00:51:14I'm sure that's just

00:51:15my oxygenarian neighbor

00:51:16who's a total drama queen.

00:51:18Watch.

00:51:20Gladys!

00:51:22Gladys!

00:51:23Gladys, is that you?

00:51:25Do you need help with your phone?

00:51:34Sir.

00:51:35Coffee.

00:51:37Hi.

00:51:38I did some digging around,

00:51:39like you asked, sir.

00:51:41You might want to see this.

00:51:47What am I looking at here?

00:51:48Wire transfers.

00:51:50You know,

00:51:51what am I looking at here?

00:51:52Wire transfers.

00:51:53Shell companies.

00:51:54All leading back to Mr. Block.

00:51:57Lord.

00:51:59I knew it!

00:52:00You might want to see these too, sir.

00:52:01They'll illuminate things even more.

00:52:07Son of a bitch.

00:52:09He's trying to steal the inheritance.

00:52:11He sure is.

00:52:12All through a series of

00:52:13cleverly placed shell companies.

00:52:16Although I suspect

00:52:17Ms. Chase's

00:52:18interests are not

00:52:19purely financial.

00:52:32Sir?

00:52:33They're threatening Lily

00:52:34and her sister.

00:52:35Then perhaps it's time

00:52:36we stop playing their game.

00:52:38Give me everything you can

00:52:39about Warren.

00:52:40Every meeting,

00:52:41every call.

00:52:42Already compiled, sir.

00:52:43I have a feeling

00:52:44we might need this.

00:52:45Sir, what about the inheritance?

00:52:46Some things are worth more

00:52:47than money.

00:53:01Calling back, Megan?

00:53:18No.

00:53:45No.

00:53:46No, no, no, no.

00:53:50Think.

00:53:53I got us into this.

00:53:55I can get us out of this.

00:53:56Oh, I can do this.

00:53:57Oh, I can do this.

00:54:00Your little cookie's on her way

00:54:01over to save her sister

00:54:02as we speak.

00:54:05And I wouldn't put money

00:54:06on how well that's gonna go.

00:54:07If anything happens to her...

00:54:09That's up to you.

00:54:12Sign the papers.

00:54:14And this all goes away.

00:54:17Like those photos of you and me

00:54:18from that reporter

00:54:19suddenly went away.

00:54:24Deepfakes really do hurt

00:54:25everyone involved.

00:54:27Don't they?

00:54:28I always knew you were soft.

00:54:31But this?

00:54:32Throwing away a billion dollar

00:54:33inheritance for some chef.

00:54:35He's not throwing it away.

00:54:38He's giving it to us.

00:54:40All we need is a signature,

00:54:42Jack.

00:54:44You care too much, Jackie boy.

00:54:47Always have.

00:54:52I think we might need to

00:54:53send a little message.

00:54:56Wait.

00:55:12Come on.

00:55:17Let me go, you psycho.

00:55:23Remember your training.

00:55:26Protect your face.

00:55:31Megan!

00:55:32Lenny!

00:55:36Welcome to the party, sweetheart.

00:55:39Come on.

00:55:41Come on.

00:55:46Of course it's a trap.

00:55:49The question is...

00:55:52What are you gonna do about it?

00:55:54Lenny!

00:55:58I've traced the video feed

00:55:59to the Starlight Motel, sir.

00:56:00Room 115.

00:56:02Lauren's called the police.

00:56:03Already done.

00:56:04But sir,

00:56:05they're at least 20 minutes out.

00:56:06She doesn't have 20 minutes.

00:56:11No.

00:56:14No, no, no, no.

00:56:17Lauren, she's there.

00:56:18Lily's there.

00:56:23Hold on, Lily.

00:56:24Hold on.

00:56:38Leave her alone!

00:56:39Shut up!

00:56:41Get away from my wife.

00:56:43Well, well.

00:56:45Hero arrives.

00:56:48Don't do it, Jackie boy.

00:56:52I'm not some damsel in distress.

00:56:55That's my girl.

00:57:03Ah.

00:57:05I guess it is real love, huh?

00:57:07It's real love, huh?

00:57:17That's for my sister.

00:57:19You son of a bitch.

00:57:26Lily.

00:57:27About everything.

00:57:29The photos.

00:57:30Vivian.

00:57:32Now? Seriously?

00:57:34I love you.

00:57:36Not for any

00:57:37inheritance.

00:57:38Not for any deal.

00:57:40Just...

00:57:42you.

00:57:44I know.

00:57:54You, stay right there.

00:57:56Come on, cover me.

00:58:06What the hell?

00:58:11This isn't

00:58:12possible.

00:58:16And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go.

00:58:18Sign the papers.

00:58:19Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.

00:58:21That proves nothing.

00:58:23I think it might prove something.

00:58:24Yeah, and those photos that you planted?

00:58:26Maybe use better AI next time.

00:58:29You can't.

00:58:30Yes, they can.

00:58:31And

00:58:32you two are under arrest.

00:58:34You'll regret this, Jack.

00:58:35The inheritance, the-

00:58:36Are nothing

00:58:37compared to what I almost lost.

00:58:39You could have had it all, Jack.

00:58:43I do.

00:58:51Yes, thank you.

00:58:53Thanks.

00:58:57Now that's a story.

00:59:00Now that's a story.

00:59:06Here to twist the knife?

00:59:07Actually,

00:59:09I'm here to get it right.

00:59:12Where did you-

01:02:43You're only saying that because

01:03:21Is that all?

01:03:23Third,

01:03:25Third,

01:03:27you have to mean it this time.

01:03:29I meant it the first time.

01:04:34Mrs. Thorne,

01:04:35are you trying to negotiate

01:04:36new business terms?

01:04:39I don't know,

01:04:40Mr. Thorne.

01:04:44Can you handle them?
