00:00:00They say the most primal human things are fighting, and well, I was about to learn both.
00:00:16Every girl wants to find her prince charming, but unfortunately we don't exactly live in a
00:00:22fairy tale world. There's no such thing as happily ever after. Where is the duck for table two?
00:00:29Table two ordered something special chef. No, table two ordered the special and the special is the duck. What is this?
00:00:38Nothing. Yes, exactly. This is nothing now. The duck. Just do what your boss says, Lily. You can't afford to lose another job. How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?
00:00:50Table two, the duck.
00:00:53So I'm thinking about adopting a dog. You know, like the little tiny dogs that can fit in your handbag. They're so cute.
00:01:03So anyway, once your inheritance is secure, the Morrison deal is all in the bag. But what is this mystery clause you won't tell us about, Jack?
00:01:14Jack? Jack? Hello?
00:01:17Jack? Yeah, the... the... the... the... the... the dog?
00:01:22Hello?
00:01:23Jack? Hi.
00:01:27Jack?
00:01:30You ordered this special?
00:01:32Grizzly.
00:01:33Actually, I... I... I...
00:01:33trust me...
00:01:35Who is that girl?
00:01:37Something about her...
00:01:40It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:41whole life. Wow, that was presumptuous. The waitress not bringing you what I
00:01:46ordered? Don't tell me you're actually impressed by that little slut Jack. It
00:01:50looks good. The food or the waitress?
00:02:01And what do you think you are doing? I'm making something from the century. You
00:02:06know what? That's it, I've had enough. You are fired! Get out of here! Not this again.
00:02:10What did you say? I am serious this time! You are fired! You get out of here! What? You take this! You clean up your act! You get out! No, please, sir! It won't happen again! No, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy this time! You get out! You leave! Please! No! No! Golly! Full come on! Man! Putain!
00:02:32They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:37Yeah, the trash.
00:02:40God! Asshole!
00:03:02Don't scream. Don't scream, babe.
00:03:04Please?
00:03:05Or do you. Scream for me!
00:03:07Ahahahaha!
00:03:12Hey!
00:03:20Hey, wait!
00:03:35Not now, Warner.
00:03:46Jack, my man.
00:03:47Hupasso.
00:03:48So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:51When you're going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:53The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:56Yeah.
00:03:57Yeah, come on, are you even listening?
00:03:59I 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...
00:04:09How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:14Maybe next time.
00:04:17Thanks.
00:04:19Call me.
00:04:20I'll call you back.
00:04:21Jack, come on.
00:04:22You gotta lock on me.
00:04:24Jack's never done that before.
00:04:26If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then...
00:04:29The Morrison deal's over.
00:04:31We're over.
00:04:33Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:36I've got just the plan.
00:04:44Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:47How am I going to find her again?
00:04:59You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:04Are you out of your mind?
00:05:06Vivian and I are done.
00:05:07Never again.
00:05:08She's just business now.
00:05:11Very well, sir.
00:05:13Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:16I'll find another wife.
00:05:18I'm afraid not.
00:05:19But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:23You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:28I know, I know.
00:05:29And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.
00:05:33The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:36And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage clause.
00:05:41Especially your wife.
00:05:44Or I lose everything.
00:05:46Everything.
00:05:47Everything.
00:05:57Don't complain about things.
00:05:58I don't complain.
00:05:59I don't.
00:06:00All I'm saying is you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:04I am living in the real world.
00:06:11Really?
00:06:12Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:16Creative...
00:06:17Differences.
00:06:18There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:22Lily.
00:06:24You've got to open up your own place.
00:06:26You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:28So you've got to show the world what you got.
00:06:31Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:34But without yours, we're never going to be able to afford Mom's operation.
00:06:39Yeah, it'll be all on my phone.
00:06:42Lily.
00:06:43Lily.
00:06:46There is an opening at my office.
00:06:48Seriously?
00:06:50It's stable.
00:06:51Health insurance.
00:06:52401k.
00:06:54I'd rather die.
00:06:55You'd rather be broke.
00:06:56No, I'd rather...
00:07:03How can you help Mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:06Fine.
00:07:07Yeah.
00:07:08You're right.
00:07:09Let's do it.
00:07:12Fine.
00:07:13Yeah.
00:07:14You're right.
00:07:15Let's do it.
00:07:16Hi.
00:07:18Name?
00:07:20Lily Denning.
00:07:21Hi, name Lily Dunning, can I help you?
00:07:48Yes, I'm here for the job interview, my sister is Megan, she works here.
00:07:53Last place of employment?
00:07:55Chez Francois.
00:07:56A restaurant?
00:07:57Yes, I'm a chef, my passion is cooking, so I...
00:08:02And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:04No, no, of course not.
00:08:07And why do you think someone like you could work here?
00:08:13I just need a job. Sorry, I'm...
00:08:17Thanks, uh, we'll let you know, okay?
00:08:21You can go now. Bye-bye.
00:08:30Ah!
00:08:32Screw this!
00:08:36Fuck!
00:08:46What are you looking at?!
00:08:49I'm sorry, Mom. I've tried everything and I've let you down.
00:08:58You.
00:09:01Me.
00:09:02You dropped something.
00:09:07How did you?
00:09:12What are you doing here?
00:09:14I have a proposition for you.
00:09:17Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:21Well, hold on, just hear me out. I heard you get fired.
00:09:24I know you don't have any money.
00:09:28Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.
00:09:30I'm doing fine, thank you.
00:09:33Really?
00:09:36What if I told you this proposition could solve all your problems?
00:09:41Really?
00:09:42Solve all my problems?
00:09:45I've got a lot of problems.
00:09:46What if I told you I need a wife?
00:09:48I'd tell you that there are apps for that?
00:09:50For one year.
00:09:52Classy.
00:09:53Look, listen.
00:09:55I have a very important business deal
00:09:57with some very important people involved.
00:09:59And they need to...
00:10:01see stability.
00:10:02Okay, so find someone stable.
00:10:04Well, that's just it.
00:10:06I need someone who won't fall in love with me.
00:10:08Someone who will just walk away after the year.
00:10:11And you seem...
00:10:13uniquely qualified.
00:10:14I thought you think I'm good at walking away.
00:10:23Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:25Well, anything you want.
00:10:27Money.
00:10:28Place to live.
00:10:29Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:32Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:33Wow, um...
00:10:34Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:48It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:10:50You'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.
00:11:09This is...
00:11:10Specific...
00:11:26This is, um, specific.
00:11:36I like clarity.
00:11:43Hmm.
00:11:46Wife agrees to perform.
00:11:49Hmm.
00:11:51Very specific.
00:11:55Is there a problem?
00:11:56Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:02What's going on here?
00:12:07No.
00:12:13I'm saying yes.
00:12:25To everything.
00:12:26Do you, Jack Thorne?
00:12:42This is insane.
00:12:44Shut up, boy.
00:12:46Take Lily Dunning to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:50This is fucking nuts.
00:12:51Shut the fuck up.
00:12:52I do.
00:12:56I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:00I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:04I know she.
00:13:05And I know you're good.
00:13:24I know.
00:13:27This marriage is, it's just a contract.
00:13:47Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
00:14:09Good night, husband.
00:14:13And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:24And the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:38We have the West Wing Library and the East Wing Pool.
00:14:45How do you find anything in here?
00:14:48One of dots, madam.
00:14:59And this room is the, um, oh dear.
00:15:06Would you excuse me?
00:15:07Of course.
00:15:08Apologies.
00:15:09What?
00:15:10What?
00:15:14What are you doing here?
00:15:39What are you doing here?
00:15:46What?
00:15:47What?
00:15:49What?
00:15:50Oh my gosh.
00:15:53What?
00:15:54What?
00:15:55What?
00:15:56What?
00:15:57What?
00:15:58What?
00:15:59What?
00:16:00What?
00:16:01What?
00:16:02Oh, my gosh.
00:16:10Problem?
00:16:13This is...
00:16:15a lot.
00:16:17The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions,
00:16:21including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:23I can't accept this.
00:16:25You can, and you will.
00:16:28Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:32You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:38Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:51Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:53Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:16:55And then I said,
00:17:08do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:10I don't need a knife.
00:17:11I need a chainsaw.
00:17:13Okay.
00:17:15Jackie, there you are.
00:17:17Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:20We simply must celebrate.
00:17:21Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:25That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:29I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:35My God.
00:17:38This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:41I'm sorry, but I didn't even do anything.
00:17:45Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:47Wagstaff Training School?
00:17:48Vivian.
00:17:51Oh, that was it.
00:17:53She was actually a waitress.
00:17:55Or, I don't remember, whatever it was.
00:17:59Excuse me.
00:18:02So, when she got to the house,
00:18:05we're done with the ex.
00:18:11As I was saying.
00:18:12You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:37Wow.
00:19:03Good?
00:19:05Surprisingly good.
00:19:05Surprisingly good.
00:19:09Well, payment for spying.
00:19:12Payment accepted.
00:19:14You know,
00:19:15the house this grand,
00:19:17I would expect
00:19:18a kitchen to match.
00:19:23I had to make do.
00:19:25Yeah, well, I never cook.
00:19:27Hmm.
00:19:28It's a shame.
00:19:29Shame.
00:19:29You can go now.
00:19:38You, um,
00:19:55wanted to see me.
00:19:57Time for your first lesson.
00:20:00My what?
00:20:05Self-defense.
00:20:07Never know when you might need it.
00:20:09I don't know if that's really...
00:20:10Number one.
00:20:11Stance.
00:20:14Move the feet apart.
00:20:16Bend this knee.
00:20:17Yeah.
00:20:18Yeah.
00:20:19Then move this foot forward.
00:20:22Good.
00:20:23Okay.
00:20:24Now, hands up.
00:20:26Protect the face.
00:20:27Okay.
00:20:29Now, like this.
00:20:31Oh, God, I'm sorry.
00:20:32I'm not really good at this.
00:20:40We're just getting started.
00:20:43Oh.
00:20:45Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:48Rule number one.
00:20:51Stance.
00:20:53Right?
00:20:53Right?
00:20:53Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:23I have a business expense.
00:21:29Business expense.
00:21:32These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:35The best knives for the best chef?
00:21:40Why are you doing this?
00:21:42The contract.
00:21:43No.
00:21:45The real reason.
00:21:46Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:21:52Maybe.
00:21:55You just like watching me.
00:22:00You know that, um...
00:22:02This doesn't change anything.
00:22:05Of course not.
00:22:12This is for your mother.
00:22:18The...
00:22:19No, this is too much.
00:22:20This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:21At least I can do.
00:22:28I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
00:22:32What's the catch?
00:22:33We've got a problem.
00:22:47Morning to you too.
00:22:49So, the inheritance release date is set, but...
00:22:51If anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:22:53No one's gonna find out.
00:22:55Oh, really?
00:22:56Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:22:58It's under control.
00:23:00Is it?
00:23:03It seems like you're letting your feelings control your...
00:23:05I said it's handled.
00:23:17Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:20This Morrison deal...
00:23:22Is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:27Don't tell me you're actually fooling me.
00:23:28Get out.
00:23:35What do you think?
00:23:48You guys know how to meet in the man's...
00:24:02What do you think?
00:24:02What do you think?
00:25:03Oh, no. God.
00:25:19Jack, darling.
00:25:21Bounty seeing you here.
00:25:22Vivian?
00:25:23The 82 Crystal.
00:25:25Remember the Crystal, Jack?
00:25:28I can still feel it running down my back just thinking about it.
00:25:32We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:35Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:37You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:39Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:45This must be so boring for you.
00:25:47You're so insightful, Vivian.
00:25:49You do bore me.
00:25:51Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:25:55Why don't you go back to, like, chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:25:59So basically, you know, the company way that we have our investments holding in?
00:26:03I had a business meeting with Hannah today, and she has basically advised me to say that
00:26:07our investments are not making any profit, because not me as self isn't actually doing
00:26:10all too well.
00:26:11So my proposal for next year would be basically
00:26:14By the whirlwind romance you've got there, what's the catch?
00:26:35There's always a catch.
00:26:37Excuse me.
00:26:39Rebecca Chen.
00:26:40Social pages.
00:26:41Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:45This must be some kind of record.
00:26:48Though lately I've been more interested in, uh, business deals.
00:26:52Hmm.
00:26:52What would you say?
00:26:55Love at first sight, or something more contractual?
00:27:00You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:02Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:09We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:11I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:23Oh, the Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.
00:27:25Oh, great.
00:27:26Another dinner.
00:27:27It's important.
00:27:28They're all important.
00:27:30It's a part of the deal.
00:27:30They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:35You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:37Did I?
00:27:38At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:42To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:46Whatever.
00:27:47Whatever.
00:28:00Nice.
00:28:02Real mature.
00:28:05No, don't.
00:28:06No.
00:28:07No.
00:28:07Fuck.
00:28:09Okay.
00:28:11Okay, fine.
00:28:12You want to go?
00:28:14Nope.
00:28:16No, no, wait.
00:28:21Okay, go.
00:28:22No.
00:28:23Yeah?
00:28:23Yeah?
00:28:24No, no, no.
00:28:24No, no, no, no.
00:28:26Let's go.
00:28:27No.
00:28:28No.
00:28:29No.
00:28:29Ah!
00:28:31Oh!
00:28:33Oh!
00:28:59Yeah.
00:29:07So, Jack's inheritance is all set,
00:29:10but he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:14That's a problem.
00:29:16Hmm.
00:29:17It's the girl, isn't it?
00:29:19The waitress.
00:29:20You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:23And I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:25Oh, I've done my part.
00:29:27That's underway.
00:29:29And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:33I have everything under control.
00:29:35Oh, really? Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.
00:29:37You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over, Jack.
00:29:41You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:43I've just begun.
00:29:49I've got it.
00:29:57Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:30:05I live here.
00:30:07Of course you do.
00:30:09Okay, thanks.
00:30:13Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study?
00:30:16We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:18Yeah.
00:30:19Yeah.
00:30:24Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:31Vivian?
00:30:34Remember Tokyo?
00:30:35That sake bar?
00:30:37I'm married.
00:30:40Are you now?
00:30:43I hadn't noticed.
00:30:45Uh-huh.
00:30:46You know that feeling?
00:30:48When you leave the house?
00:30:50And you just feel like...
00:30:52You've forgotten something?
00:30:54I forgot something.
00:31:05Maybe you can...
00:31:08Help me figure it out?
00:31:13Coffee?
00:31:15Oh, no thank you.
00:31:17Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:20Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:23Do you, Jack?
00:31:24Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:26Hmm.
00:31:27I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee how he liked it.
00:31:30And he just absolutely laps up every drop of my coffee.
00:31:39Isn't that right?
00:31:41Well, he makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:45Hmm.
00:31:49So...
00:31:51How's Vivian?
00:31:52Focus on your form.
00:31:55You know.
00:31:56I was just wondering.
00:31:58How long the two of you...
00:31:59Ancient history.
00:32:01That's not what I heard.
00:32:03From who?
00:32:05Around.
00:32:07Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:09You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:11You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:13That's business.
00:32:15Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:17But you know what?
00:32:18What's this?
00:32:19Some pretty big business.
00:32:20That you haven't been sharing with me.
00:32:21I think Vivian wants some of it too.
00:32:23But you know what?
00:32:24Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:26Sad.
00:32:27Watch your stance.
00:32:28I don't want to be lied to.
00:32:29I'm not lying, Lily.
00:32:30Don't break my heart.
00:32:31I don't want to be lied to.
00:32:32I'm not lying, Lily.
00:32:33Don't break my heart.
00:32:34Yeah.
00:32:35But you know what?
00:32:37Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:42Sad.
00:32:43Watch your stance.
00:32:49I don't want to be lied to.
00:32:51I'm not lying, Lily.
00:32:55Don't break my heart.
00:32:59Yeah.
00:33:05I'm not lying.
00:33:11Don't break my heart.
00:33:19You're not lying.
00:33:21No, no, no!
00:33:23Please act like you know me, there's someone following me.
00:33:39Oh my god, are you okay?
00:33:41Who's following you?
00:33:44That weirdo?
00:33:50Is he gone?
00:33:52I think he's gone.
00:33:53You sure?
00:34:09Like that?
00:34:13I think your technique could use some more.
00:34:16They got the Dota rides.
00:34:19You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:21I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging markets are not going to happen.
00:34:29I think the real challenge is market penetration.
00:34:34I think the real challenge is market penetration.
00:34:40I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies.
00:34:50I'm sure Jack's brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:34:54I think the real challenge is market penetration.
00:34:57I think the real challenge is market penetration.
00:34:59Tell me, what's your take on blockchain integration?
00:35:01I think...
00:35:03I think the real challenge is market penetration.
00:35:05I think...
00:35:06Oh, no comment.
00:35:07How surprising.
00:35:08Excuse me.
00:35:09Oh, great thinking, Lily.
00:35:11All of our drinks could be used with a refill.
00:35:13All of our drinks could be used with a refill.
00:35:14Also curves, the Ewa take a refill.
00:35:16Oh, no, obviously.
00:35:17I think theela.
00:35:18I agree with you.
00:35:19Oh, what?
00:35:19You get it.
00:35:20Uh-huh.
00:35:21You get it.
00:35:31It's your spouse.
00:35:36You forget this.
00:35:38Oh, no.
00:35:39But this thing isn't going to last forever, Jack.
00:35:48I don't know.
00:35:50I mean, what choice do you have?
00:35:52Clock's ticking, buddy.
00:35:54Unless you want to lose this deal forever.
00:35:58Lunch?
00:36:01I was just on my way out.
00:36:06Think about it, Jack.
00:36:09What was that about?
00:36:17Nothing. Just business.
00:36:19Just business. Of course.
00:36:23Lily, wait.
00:36:28What do you want, Jack?
00:36:30What do you want, Jack?
00:36:32I'm taking you on a holiday.
00:36:52What?
00:36:53You have time for that?
00:36:55A lot of time.
00:36:59Just us?
00:37:00I know what I want.
00:37:01Oh, what about, um, what about Warren and the deal?
00:37:09They can win.
00:37:13There she is.
00:37:15What?
00:37:16That smile.
00:37:18It's the one you had when I first laid eyes on you.
00:37:20I'll never forget it.
00:37:23You know that I don't just, um, serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:28Really?
00:37:29Mm-hmm.
00:37:30I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne.
00:37:36I've been told to relay that there's a problem back at the office.
00:37:40Timeline on the deal has moved up.
00:37:42Safe.
00:37:44Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:49Yeah.
00:37:51Very good.
00:37:51Who sent the message?
00:37:55Vivian Chase.
00:38:01Lilby, I'm sorry.
00:38:02Don't.
00:38:02Please.
00:38:03It's just business.
00:38:04It's business, yeah.
00:38:05I get it.
00:38:16Well, yeah, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:18Just shut up and taste this.
00:38:21It tastes, uh...
00:38:31Incredible?
00:38:32Yeah.
00:38:33Yeah, I know.
00:38:35Mm.
00:38:38Jack?
00:38:39Mm-hmm?
00:38:41Do you want more?
00:38:43Um, after this one.
00:38:45No.
00:38:47Let the food...
00:38:49Jack.
00:38:51He's talking about us.
00:38:58How long are we going to keep on doing this?
00:39:13Oh!
00:39:14Oh, my God.
00:39:15What was that?
00:39:25Any enemies?
00:39:27Business rivals?
00:39:30No one comes to mind.
00:39:32Security cameras?
00:39:35Being installed as we speak.
00:39:36Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:47Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:49Sorry.
00:39:51I thought I saw...
00:39:55I'm worried.
00:39:58You okay?
00:40:00Yeah.
00:40:10No.
00:40:14This is so insane.
00:40:17It's probably just kids.
00:40:19Kids?
00:40:21Seriously?
00:40:22Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:24Oh, sorry.
00:40:24What, are you afraid that someone's going to hear about our perfect marriage?
00:40:37What are you hiding from me?
00:40:42Hey.
00:40:44Hey, you know that secret room that you didn't want me to find?
00:40:48I found it.
00:40:53Yeah.
00:40:58Hey, at least it's honest.
00:41:05Do you want to see it?
00:41:07Show me.
00:41:08Okay.
00:41:08Okay.
00:41:08Okay.

00:41:48Among other things.
00:41:50And all of those...
00:41:52Specific requirements.
00:41:56We're meant to scare you off.
00:41:58I don't scare you, sir.

00:42:07Show me.

00:45:44again
00:45:45do
00:45:58He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:14Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:30How could you?
00:46:36Eleven months.
00:46:38Almost a year.
00:46:41We're barely newlyweds anymore.
00:46:54Lily, I need to tell you something.
00:46:56I'm all ears.
00:46:58It's about the deal. About Lauren, Vivian.
00:47:01Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:04Oh great. The press.
00:47:11These aren't real.
00:47:18Oh, I should just say they are very real.
00:47:22Story runs in 48 hours.
00:47:24Lily, this is what I was just about to tell you.
00:47:26I've been set up.
00:47:28Care to comment, Mrs. Thorne?
00:47:32You know what's funny? I...
00:47:35For a minute. I really believed.
00:47:38Lily, wait.
00:47:41They're not real!
00:47:44Tick tock, Mr. Thorne.
00:47:56Lily, wait.
00:47:58They're not real.
00:48:01You have to believe me.
00:48:02Look, I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal.
00:48:06Like, I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague.
00:48:11Look, I believe that last night actually meant something.
00:48:14It did.
00:48:16Lily, what happened between us was...
00:48:17The transaction.
00:48:19That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:22That's not true.
00:48:24I know.
00:48:25And you know it.
00:48:26Do I?
00:48:28Because from where I'm standing, you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:32You got a wife when you needed one.
00:48:34And a body when you wanted one.
00:48:36But wait, that's not it.
00:48:38Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:39Tell me that there's not something more going on here.
00:48:42With the business deal.
00:48:43And your inheritance.
00:48:45Anything more to explain?
00:48:47That's what I thought.
00:48:58You're a terrible person.
00:49:01If you leave now, you violate the contract.
00:49:04You get nothing.
00:49:06I don't care.
00:49:08I never cared about any of that.
00:49:12Hands up.
00:49:17Protect the face.
00:49:33No, don't...
00:49:35A-
00:49:37Go!
00:49:38Nope!
00:49:39Warren?
00:49:49Finally, look.
00:49:50About the Morrison deal.
00:49:52It's off.
00:49:53What do you mean it's off?
00:49:54All of it.
00:49:55The deal.
00:49:57The inheritance.
00:49:58I don't want any of it.
00:49:59Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:01I mean, everything that we've worked for.
00:50:03Actually, I think I've found it.
00:50:09I don't want any of it.
00:50:40You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:43Watch me.
00:50:55Hey.
00:50:57What happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:00The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:03She played.
00:51:04Did she?
00:51:10That's Jack.
00:51:11I'm sure that's just my octogenarian neighbor who's a total drama queen.
00:51:15Watch.
00:51:17Gladys?
00:51:20Gladys, is that you?
00:51:22Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:24Sir.
00:51:32Coffee.
00:51:33Hi.
00:51:34I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:37You might want to see this.
00:51:38What am I looking at here?
00:51:44Wire transfers, shell companies, all leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:50More.
00:51:51I knew it.
00:51:52And you might want to see these too, sir.
00:51:54They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:00Son of a bitch.
00:52:02He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:04He sure is.
00:52:05All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:52:08Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial.
00:52:25Sir?
00:52:26They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:28Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:32Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:34Every meeting, every call.
00:52:35Already compiled, sir.
00:52:36I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:37Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:40Some things are worth more than money.
00:52:55I'm going back, Megan.
00:52:56I'm going back, Megan.
00:52:57I'm going back, Megan.
00:52:58I'm going back, Megan.
00:52:59I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:00I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:01I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:02I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:03I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:04I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:05I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:06I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:07I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:08I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:09I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:10I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:11I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:12I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:13I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:14I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:15I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:16I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:17I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:18I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:19I'm going back, Megan.
00:53:20I got us into this.
00:53:47I can get us out of this.
00:53:49I can do this.
00:53:50Oh, I can do this.
00:53:53Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.
00:53:58And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:54:00If anything happens to her, that's up to you.
00:54:05Sign the papers.
00:54:07And this all goes away.
00:54:11Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.
00:54:17Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:54:20Don't they?
00:54:22I always knew you were soft.
00:54:24But this?
00:54:25Throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef.
00:54:28He's not throwing it away.
00:54:30He's giving it to us.
00:54:34All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:37You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:40Always have.
00:54:41I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:47Hmm.
00:54:49Wait.
00:54:50Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:11Remember your training.
00:55:19Protect your face.
00:55:24Megan!
00:55:25Lenny!
00:55:25Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:31Come on.
00:55:32Come on.
00:55:33Come on.
00:55:34Come on.
00:55:35Of course it's a trap.
00:55:42The question is, what are you going to do about it?
00:55:47Lenny!
00:55:48I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:55:54Room 115.
00:55:55Lauren's called the police.
00:55:57Already done.
00:55:57But, sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:00She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:01No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:56:10Lauren, she's there.
00:56:12Lily's there.
00:56:17Hold on, Lily.
00:56:18Hold on.
00:56:23Hold on.
00:56:23Leave her alone.
00:56:33Shut up.
00:56:35Get away from my wife.
00:56:37Well, well.
00:56:39Hero arrives.
00:56:42Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:46I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:49That's my girl.
00:56:53Oh, I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:11That's for my sister.
00:57:13You son of a bitch.
00:57:20Lily, about everything.
00:57:22The photos, Vivian.
00:57:26Now?
00:57:26Seriously?
00:57:27I love you.
00:57:30Not for any inheritance.
00:57:32Not for any deal.
00:57:34Just, you know.
00:57:38I know.
00:57:47You.
00:57:48Stay right there.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:50Copy.
00:57:52What the hell?
00:58:06This isn't...
00:58:07Possible.
00:58:11And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:58:13Sign the papers.
00:58:14Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:17That proves nothing.
00:58:18I think it might prove something.
00:58:19Yeah, and those photos that you planted.
00:58:22Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:24You can't?
00:58:25Yes, they can.
00:58:27And you two are under arrest.
00:58:30You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:33The inheritance, they...
00:58:34Are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:36You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:40I do.
00:58:40Yes, thank you.
00:58:48Thanks.
00:58:53Now that's the story.
00:58:59Here to twist the knife?
00:59:01Actually...
00:59:02I'm here to get it right.
00:59:05Where did you...
00:59:06Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:09Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:13So, no scandal piece?
00:59:15Oh.
00:59:16There's definitely a scandal.
00:59:18But, not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:23That's actually accurate.
00:59:26I'm a reporter.
00:59:28Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:29Though, I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:35Yeah, neither did they.
00:59:37Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:40Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:49Only about the inheritance.
00:59:50You really think that I care about any of that now?
00:59:52Just take me home.
01:00:00Yes, dear.
01:00:10Sun's coming up.
01:00:11Must be a new record.
01:00:14It is for me.
01:00:16Any regrets?
01:00:19Only one.
01:00:20That I didn't get your chef's specials sooner.
01:00:24Could have saved us a lot, sir.
01:00:26Yeah.
01:00:27Wow.
01:00:31Excuse me, sir.
01:00:32Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:34How bad is it?
01:00:36Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:38She's included the last bit you wanted to put in.
01:00:50Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:00:55In a shocking turn of events, tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans to transform
01:01:00his inherited fortune into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:05Surprised?
01:01:06But your inheritance is gone.
01:01:12Well, the inheritance, yeah.
01:01:14It turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:17You sold the company?
01:01:19Turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:29I'm sorry.
01:01:29I don't know.
01:01:30Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:38Keep it thin, okay?
01:01:39Just like that.
01:01:55This looks good on you.
01:01:56And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:02Suckers.
01:02:03Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:06It depends.
01:02:08Did my wife make it?
01:02:09The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:12Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:20Hang on.
01:02:26You're the best chef in town.
01:02:36You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:40I think that contract expired.
01:02:44Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:45We are gathered here today.
01:02:54No more business deals this time.
01:02:56Just love.
01:02:58Good.
01:02:59Because I have some terms of my own.
01:03:03First,
01:03:04you have to eat everything I cooked.
01:03:07Done.
01:03:09Second,
01:03:10no more locked rooms.
01:03:11Without me in it.
01:03:17Is that all?
01:03:19Third.
01:03:20You have to mean it this time.
01:03:22I meant it the first time.
01:03:24Just didn't know you.
01:03:27The rings?
01:03:28Actually.
01:03:34Is that...
01:03:35Something old?
01:03:37Something new?
01:03:38Something borrowed?
01:03:40Something...
01:03:42Not one.
01:03:50For better or worse,
01:03:53for real this time.
01:03:56You make is the bright.
01:03:57So,
01:04:13are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:17What are you...
01:04:19Lauren's helped me back.
01:04:22Mrs. Thorne,
01:04:28are you trying to negotiate
01:04:29new business terms?
01:04:32I don't know.
01:04:34Mr. Thorne.
01:04:37Can you handle them?
01:04:39I thought this wasn't
01:04:40about business anymore.
01:04:43How about you just shut up
01:04:44and kiss your wife?
01:04:46No,
01:04:49no.
01:04:50No,
01:04:52I don't know.
01:04:53I don't do so.
01:04:59I don't know.
01:05:02I don't know.
01:05:03I don't know.
01:05:04I guess you should do it.
01:05:14I don't know.
