Transcript

00:00Who's excited for the grand opening?

00:09Remember, if you take pictures and tag your drinks,

00:11you get discounts to Charm's specialty drinks

00:14and once fun a bookshop.

00:18I didn't know you'd be here.

00:19I didn't even know I'd be here.

00:20Ready?

00:21Yes, sir.

00:23Where would you like the car?

00:24Uh, park it out front.

00:31What up, beasties?

00:32Be prepared to be blessed by my presence.

00:40Not even a little would I sound like.

00:55Hey, watch it!

01:00I'm sorry.

01:05A person who has not pleasure in a great novel

01:08must be incredibly stupid.

01:10Intolerably stupid.

01:13Right, intolerably stupid.

01:17I'm impressed.

01:18Most guys can't quote Jane Austen.

01:20And most people don't have a photographic memory.

01:25Near photographic.

01:30Oh, this is my spot over here.

01:36All right.

01:37Well, send me a seat.

01:39Will do.

02:00Enjoy.

02:05Hey, what's up, beasties?

02:06Grant Beast here from G&G,

02:07and I'm here to show you how to live the rich life.

02:10Now, I'm at Charmed Specialty Drinks,

02:12which right off the bat has a great look, right?

02:15Uh, let's...

02:16Oh, my gosh.

02:17Let's talk to this guy.

02:18Excuse me.

02:19So sorry.

02:20Hey, man.

02:21I'm Grant.

02:22Hey.

02:23Hey, my followers want to know

02:24what is the best drink on your menu?

02:25Well, all of our options are here.

02:26I'll tell you what,

02:27why don't you just make me your favorite drink, yeah?

02:28Wait your turn.

02:30Okay.

02:35Listen, man.

02:36I can make sure that, at minimum,

02:38the entire town knows about this place,

02:40but you gotta work with me here.

02:42We already have someone that does that,

02:44so just wait your turn in line.

02:48You're gonna throw away this opportunity?

02:50What opportunity?

02:52I tell you what,

02:53I wanna speak to the owner.

02:55Oh, you really don't wanna do that, actually.

02:58Owner.

02:59Now.

03:00Or I get you fired.

03:03What's going on out here?

03:04I was kindly providing you...

03:06He cut the line.

03:07I'm sorry.

03:08He's still a dream.

03:13Grant Beast?

03:14Why are you here?

03:32I want your business.

03:34I'm not selling my business.

03:36Uh...

03:38Ma'am.

03:39G&G already owns the majority of this block.

03:42Now, that's a fact.

03:45I'm telling you right now,

03:47that without the support of G&G,

03:50your doors will be closed in six months.

03:55Is that a threat?

03:56No, that's a free consultation.

04:00What are you doing?

04:01Making sure you can bully them

04:03into signing their business away.

04:04On the house.

04:08And smile for Izzy.

04:09She's our social media manager.

04:13Alright.

04:15What makes you think they'll be closed in six months, huh?

04:18Monty!

04:20What can I get you?

04:21Give me a dozen roses.

04:22You got it.

04:24How's business?

04:26Honestly, not so good.

04:28I'm thinking of closing up shop.

04:30What?

04:31Why?

04:33This old place doesn't sell like it used to.

04:37I think I misspoke.

04:38I had like three dozen roses.

04:41How do you know they'll be out of business in six months?

04:43You were just trying to get your 15 minutes of fame.

04:45I'm showing people how dirty Grimm and Grant Corporation really is.

04:50Alright.

04:52Thank you, Monty.

04:54You really didn't have to.

04:55I should be thanking you.

04:56Izzy's gonna love us.

04:58Oh, I'm sure she will.

05:00If you come on back and see me another time.

05:07Is this how G&G handles all of their business deals?

05:10Just remember, everything he does is representative of his company.

05:14This truck is a new life.

05:15I'm following a crew of companies.

05:16I am not sure if the truck is under your baby.

05:17I am not sure if you come on.

05:18This truck is under the roof.

05:19I am not sure.

05:21I am not sure if the truck is under the roof.

05:23I am not sure if the truck is under the roof.

05:24I am not sure if I am not sure if I can go on back.

05:25Yes, it is not sure.

05:26It was just a wow.

05:27Oh, my God!

05:57Izzy, where's dad?

06:15All they would tell me is that they found internal bleeding after they brought him up here.

06:20And he had to be rushed into surgery.

06:25It's okay.

06:27Hey, remember what Mom used to say?

06:36If things are going untowardly one month, they're sure to mend the next.

06:42Exactly.

06:45It's going to be okay, right?

06:47It's going to be okay.

06:49I promise.

06:50What's up, Beastie?

06:58I got these guys free drinks as a Sonic Goodwill.

07:01It's delicious.

07:03You want me to bring you a cup, boss?

07:03No, I don't want anything from that cursed place.

07:07Are you sure?

07:08I thought for sure you might want something to calm your nerves after losing that many followers.

07:13I mean, everyone saw the video from this morning.

07:15My lawyers are handling it, and it was an accident.

07:28End of story.

07:31Sounds like the story's just beginning, right?

07:34Hey, you probably should contact Izzy.

07:36She's really good with these type of things.

07:44Are you Monty O'Hara's daughters?

07:46Can we talk about the insurance stuff later, please?

07:49We're not insurance, but we're here to help.

07:51Which one of you is Izzy?

07:55Who wants to know?

07:57You need to come speak at Grant West.

08:03You sent us there to clear your name.

08:06Exactly.

08:06That's why I brought her here.

08:08You brought her here?

08:09Because the board saw her video, and they want to fire you.

08:12They can't fire me.

08:14My dad built this company.

08:15They can, and they will, on the grounds that you acted against the well-being of the company.

08:21Your little stunt has gotten out of hand.

08:25What stunt?

08:26That video went all the way up the board of directors.

08:29You need to delete it now.

08:31People deserve to know what you really like.

08:34A self-serving corporate bully.

08:36If you hadn't ambushed me with your camera, and chased me to my car,

08:41your father wouldn't be in the hospital.

08:43Think about that.

08:44Okay, I can't believe this.

08:45I am out of here.

08:46Okay, I just...

08:48Okay.

08:49What if I get him the best medical coverage?

08:55Then will you delete the video?

08:57You owe him that care.

09:01You think he's getting out of hand now?

09:03What do you think will happen if he doesn't make it?

09:07Honestly, bad press for a couple weeks.

09:09And then people will forget about it.

09:13So you, not me, you are the one to gain from this.

09:18You said the board of directors saw that video?

09:21That means they saw you hit an innocent bystander.

09:25How happy will they be when this goes to court?

09:28You didn't learn that from Jane Austen.

09:32I did.

09:33But it also helps that I have a master's degree in public relations.

09:38I will track this out for months.

09:41You provide the best care, and if you're lucky, you won't receive a court summons.

09:45Okay, Izzy O'Hara, I tell you what, you delete the video, and then agree to never again speak

09:59out against me or G&G Corporation as a whole.

10:03And in return, your father can keep his farm.

10:07What do you mean, keep his farm?

10:15Please.

10:18Now, if you notice, he hasn't made any payments on it in the last six months.

10:25Go ahead and skip to the last page, please.

10:29Which will show you that it's headed to foreclosure.

10:37I'll figure it out with the bank.

10:38G&G Corporation owns Dreamland Community Bank.

10:45I can stop this from happening, but you're going to have to earn it.

10:53You're a beast.

10:54Good luck with your reputation.

10:57I will see you in court.

11:04You have to stop her.

11:05She is insufferable.

11:07I cannot work with her.

11:08The board of directors is meeting right now.

11:10We'll figure something else out.

11:18Better medical care.

11:26Hey.

11:27Where are you?

11:27What's going on?

11:28Izzy, that's getting worse.

11:30I'm getting worried.

11:31Okay, I'm on my way.

11:35Better medical care.

11:46The best.

11:51All right, then.

11:53I'll help you restore your reputation.

11:55In exchange, you give my dad back his farm, paid in full.

12:01But if he doesn't make it, I will spend my life making sure he gets justice.

12:10Fine.

12:12But I keep the farm until my follower count passes 10 million.

12:18Deal?

12:18As long as you do exactly as I say.

12:22I don't trust you.

12:24And I don't trust you.

12:25So it's either a yes and you get your followers back, or I will see you in court.

12:34Deal.

12:44Izzy.

12:44Good morning.

12:50Dad.

12:54How is he?

12:57We stopped the brain bleeding surgery.

12:58The internal injuries aren't that bad.

13:00He should be okay.

13:03Thank you so much.

13:04Just you and your whole team.

13:06Also thank G&G.

13:07They're taking care of everything.

13:10When will he wake up?

13:11We're just going to keep him sedated a little longer, just until he's more stable.

13:16Okay.

13:16Thank you so much, doctor.

13:18So, everything went well last night?

13:22Maybe.

13:24Seems like they did the right thing.

13:27Something like that.

13:30Did dad ever tell you he helped me pay for my college tuition?

13:34No.

13:35Why do you ask?

13:35I guess there was something he didn't tell me.

13:42What does this mean?

13:44I thought he owned the farm.

13:46Is there something I have to take care of?

13:50Ready, Miss O'Hara?

13:52I love you, dad.

13:53Well, I'm here.

13:58I heard things have improved for your father.

14:01You're welcome, by the way.

14:03Thank you for doing what was expected.

14:06Sure.

14:08So, why haven't you deleted the video?

14:11If I take it down now, it'll only cause more drama.

14:14Now is not the time to cover up mistakes.

14:19We need to focus on you, and getting you offline is how we'll start.

14:25You do know how social media works, right?

14:30Right now, you're toxic.

14:33So, anything you say online will feel insincere.

14:38However, it isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do.

14:43Well, did you come up with that yourself?

14:47It's Jane Austen.

14:48Of course it is.

14:50And she's right.

14:52Our words and thoughts don't amount to anything if our actions can't back it up.

14:57And what do your actions say about you?

15:02They say that I am not about to take business advice from your little romance novel.

15:12Fine.

15:12If you don't cooperate, I don't have to do anything.

15:16I will be with my family if you change your mind.

15:31Hey.

15:33Wow, you're back early.

15:35He won't listen to me, which means I don't have to do anything.

15:38Honestly, I'm relieved.

15:41I didn't like the idea of you hanging out with the guy who hit dad.

15:45Yeah.

15:46I'm actually a little disappointed.

15:48I had some good ideas that really would have worked for him.

15:52Really?

15:53I thought he kidnapped you the way his goon hauled you out of here.

15:58Unless you're family, you can't go in.

16:00I'm family.

16:01Izzy, open the door.

16:06What are you doing?

16:08I'm going to talk to him.

16:10I know you're in there.

16:17Of course you do.

16:19I told you I'd be here.

16:21You also said you would come work for me, but I guess words aren't important.

16:26So what do your actions say about you now?

16:29They say that I don't have to do anything if you don't cooperate.

16:33Or did your near photographing memory miss that too?

16:37Open the door!

16:38Not when you're acting like this.

16:42If I may, I don't think intimidation is the best way to work with a partner in this situation.

16:47Oh no.

16:49No, no, no, no, no, no.

16:50She is not my partner.

16:51Just put on your streaming face and work your charm.

16:56And remember you're trying to redeem yourself to keep your job.

17:00All right, Beastie, let's do this.

17:02I am not your Beastie.

17:05Please try to work with her.

17:07Try.

17:09G&G uses wealth to cover up their mistakes.

17:13One loan article is hardly...

17:15Pull!

17:1678% of community finds G&G spokesmen insincere.

17:19Well, if you were a celebrity like me, you'd have haters too.

17:25Beast has a record fallout from followers dropping 3 million in less than 24 hours.

17:30Okay.

17:34Okay.

17:36Um, I get it.

17:38Get the picture.

17:40So, uh, what is your amazing Jane Austen plan?

17:46We need to get you our social media.

17:52Anything positive that you do now won't be effective, because people will just interpret it as you trying to save face.

17:59Like Jane Austen said.

18:01Your good opinion once lost.

18:03It's forever lost.

18:04I know.

18:05It's lost forever.

18:09Great.

18:09So, even Jane Austen has declared me doomed.

18:14You're not doomed.

18:16But you do need to show a fundamental internal shift.

18:21Do you still work at the animal shelter?

18:23So, the shelter's starting its annual donation drive.

18:34Of course the numbers are going to bounce back.

18:36You're just used to the company remaining positive for so long, you're forgetting that ups and downs are completely normal.

18:41Grant.

18:42I have a plan.

18:44I have this amazing new PR assistant.

18:45She's going to be helping with...

18:47Ah.

18:48Are you kidding?

18:49Phone off?

18:50My bar deal?

18:51You know, a conference call with the board of directors is not the same thing as social media.

18:57Okay, you need to focus here and put in an effort to make a change.

19:01So, what do you need us to do?

19:04Stuff these envelopes so we can send them out, and then come get me when you're done.

19:13Wow.

19:15Really, uh, rolling out the red carpet here, huh?

19:18Trust me, you're going to want that.

19:23Look.

19:26No.

19:29You're losing subscribers because of one big, terrible thing you did, right?

19:35And?

19:36And if you do one big thing to correct it, it's not going to win people over.

19:40They'll just see it as you trying to save face.

19:42We need to show them that you're a good person who makes good choices.

19:47That's right.

19:48We need to show them.

19:49And yet I'm here doing good deeds alone with only you.

19:53And not even you think that I'm a good person, so...

19:56No.

19:58I don't.

20:00I think the only person you care about is yourself.

20:03I'm going to be the hardest person for you to convince, and so far, you're failing.

20:08Okay.

20:09Okay.

20:11That needs to be folded better, and I think you got this.

20:19You only care about yourself that has been licking envelopes.

20:27Too much work for you, huh?

20:28Licking envelopes is below my pay grade, and this is an animal shelter.

20:32So, I'd like to work with some animals.

20:35Okay.

20:38Come on, Cooper.

20:39Let's teach us an animal lesson.

20:48You didn't.

20:49He insisted.

20:53Come on, Cooper.

20:54Work with me, buddy.

20:55The reason we didn't have you working with animals today is because Cooper's the only one on schedule for a bath.

21:00And he doesn't like baths much.

21:02You could have told me that earlier.

21:08I have a spare volunteer shirt.

21:11I'll bear it back.

21:14Come on, buddy.

21:21You want a hand?

21:22Not from you.

21:26You deserve that.

21:27Okay.

21:29Okay.

21:30No.

21:31Cooper.

21:32Okay.

21:33Buddy.

21:36If things are going untowardly one month, they're sure to mend the next.

21:41More Jane Austen?

21:43I heard that one from my mother.

21:45It wasn't until after she passed away that I figured out she was quoting Jane Austen.

21:52Is that why you, uh...

21:55It was my way of keeping her close to me.

21:58I can't really think of anyone that's good enough to make up for when we lost her, but we do the best with what we've got.

22:06Right?

22:07All right, Cooper.

22:12That'll do, buddy.

22:13Let's get you dried off.

22:15Come on.

22:17Come on.

22:17Well, that was a disaster.

22:33I bet my numbers are plummeting and the board is ready to drop me.

22:38Actually, the board just sent over their reports and they're pretty happy with how today went.

22:42How did the board know how today went?

22:43I can't post anything.

22:45But the animal shelter did.

22:46Oh, okay.

23:15All right.

23:16What is the plan for today?

23:19You're looking chipper.

23:20Today should be so much simpler.

23:22Okay.

23:23It is a women's career workshop.

23:25Local businesses are donating their time and resources to help underprivileged women get career support.

23:30And Pierce's generosity offered Charm to the location for the clothing drive.

23:35Okay.

23:36So, these are the donated clothes.

23:38They need to be sorted and hung.

23:40Do you have preference?

23:42Do I have?

23:43No.

23:43I think maybe you're wasting a valuable resource on hanging clothes.

23:53Let's just see if this resource can even hang clothes.

23:58This is going to be perfect on you.

24:05You're welcome.

24:08Oh, worn out already, huh?

24:10Yeah.

24:10Hey, at least the event's going fantastic.

24:14And one of those next?

24:16Beastie.

24:20Guess I'm not getting a drink then.

24:22No.

24:23Okay.

24:23Well, good talk.

24:25Uh, I guess I deserve that.

24:28Hey.

24:32Good job with the hanging.

24:41Okay, so offer a firm handshake, smile, and maintain eye contact.

24:46You know, first impressions are important.

24:48You screw it up too badly, you'll be lucky to work with them ever again.

24:51Thank you, Mr. Beast.

24:53You're welcome.

24:54Do my ears deceive me, or are you offering helpful advice?

24:58I do have some good experience to offer.

25:00Yeah, but you're not so good at following it.

25:03Oh, come on.

25:03You didn't follow a single one of those tips the first time you came into Charmed.

25:07I shook Pierce's hand.

25:09Yeah, well, first impressions did you leave him with?

25:10Okay, okay, all right, I see.

25:13So, I was checking the accounts earlier.

25:16Oh, great.

25:18How many followers did I lose today?

25:21None.

25:23I checked about an hour ago.

25:24You actually managed to gain a few followers.

25:28Seriously?

25:29Yeah.

25:31It's working?

25:32Yeah.

25:33Oh, my God.

25:37That was...

25:38That was weird.

25:39That was too much.

25:39I'm sorry.

25:40It was just surprising.

25:41You're right.

25:42I shouldn't have...

25:43I'm going to go.

25:44I just didn't have you down as a touchy-feely type.

25:48No, you know what?

25:49We should celebrate, though.

25:51Right?

25:51I'm...

25:52Can I take you out to dinner?

25:55That might be too much.

25:56Come on.

25:57I mean, I didn't think any of this was going to work.

26:00And you proved me wrong.

26:03Come on, my tree.

26:04Well, this is a nice change.

26:18Your Austin ways are rubbing off on me.

26:22You say that like it's a bad thing.

26:26Her characters just take too long to tell you how they feel.

26:29Well, I'd rather put it out there.

26:31Get to the point.

26:33I think there's something nice about taking your time to tell someone how you feel.

26:44You've been here before.

26:46Yeah, quite a few times.

26:48My dad was friends with the head chef.

26:53Well, then, what do you recommend?

26:56Oh.

26:58The salmon is surprisingly good, actually.

27:01And anything with the eel is a personal favorite.

27:06So, which one will you pick tonight?

27:09I think I'll actually let the chef surprise me.

27:12In celebration of my followers finally forgetting about that little incident.

27:18Grant, about that.

27:20My follower count finally stopped dropping.

27:21We deserve to celebrate.

27:24Right.

27:25But now you need to get people back on your side.

27:30And the workshop was a success.

27:33I had a big hand in that.

27:34Yeah, you did good.

27:35So, what's the problem?

27:39You went over a few dozen people today.

27:42We need to branch out to millions.

27:44And, well, that can't be done until you fundamentally shift who you are inside.

27:51And you don't believe I can change because I'm a beast.

28:02I'm sorry I said that.

28:07I'm sorry you said it or sorry you believe it.

28:11I'm sorry I said it.

28:15No, I really do think you did good today.

28:19Could you even be doing this if I wasn't here?

28:21If you don't think I can change, then why do you even care?

28:24No, I do believe you can change.

28:26I want you to be better.

28:28But I can't do that for you.

28:30I am so sorry.

28:36It's Rene.

28:38Hey, everything okay?

28:42What?

28:43Really?

28:45Okay, yes.

28:46Yes, I will be right there.

28:47Is everything all right?

28:57My dad's awake.

29:02He's been asking for you.

29:05Hey, Dad.

29:07There's my girl.

29:08I was just telling you about the past few weeks.

29:12How did the grand opening go?

29:15Oh, it was so great.

29:16We had such a good turnout.

29:19I can't wait to get home.

29:22Don't you worry.

29:23You'll be back home in no time.

29:27Who's that?

29:29That.

29:31That is my new client.

29:34Izzy, be honest.

29:37He's the guy who hit you with his car.

29:39What?

29:43Rene.

29:43What?

29:44Don't worry.

29:45Izzy's forcing him to help us.

29:50It's okay.

29:52It's okay.

29:54Dad.

29:56We should let you rest.

29:57So, how did the evening...

30:06Boss, how'd dinner go?

30:09How does it look like it went?

30:12I thought it went good.

30:14Now I'm not so sure.

30:16I'm the scum of the ass.

30:18I thought the media campaign was going well.

30:20Like, didn't you go out tonight to celebrate?

30:22You like her.

30:24What?

30:25No.

30:25No, you do.

30:26I don't.

30:27I've never seen you so down over somebody who despises you.

30:31Despise?

30:32Hey, come on.

30:33You want some advice?

30:35Ignore her.

30:36It's so dumb.

30:37It's clever, but it's dumb.

30:38I'm not gonna...

30:40Jessie, any advice?

30:42Yeah, tell her how you feel.

30:43Okay, you're both terrible at this.

30:50Why don't you sign right here?

30:54I don't do technology.

30:59He had roses.

31:01Johnny, I want your business.

31:15Well, at least you brought a paper to contract.

31:21No, no, uh, I'm sorry about before,

31:25but I'm not trying to buy you out

31:27unless it's all of your flowers.

31:29What?

31:31I want to buy every rose that you have in the store right now.

31:36Is that a yes?

31:38Yeah!

31:39Of course, I'll sign that.

31:52Sorry.

31:53I must have doused off.

31:55So, about last night.

31:59Girlfriend.

32:01We're not dating.

32:03Really?

32:03Because this article makes a pretty strong case that you are.

32:06Well, we're not.

32:07I can't be in a relationship with him.

32:09It would be unprofessional.

32:11Girls?

32:12This is honestly the last thing we need right now, Izzy.

32:14Are you seriously upset with me?

32:16No, I'm just...

32:17Girls!

32:18You okay, Dad?

32:19Can our father get a little piece, please?

32:23Of course.

32:24I'm sorry, Dad.

32:25Yeah, sorry.

32:27Would one of you go get me a pudding cup?

32:30Yes.

32:31I'll go.

32:36Sorry, Dad.

32:37Dr. Pearson, emergency, please.

32:44Dr. Pearson.

32:47No, no.

32:49No.

32:51We're good.

32:52We're good.

32:54Uh, hey.

32:56Hey.

32:58What's all this?

33:00Oh, this is Roses for Relief.

33:05Cute.

33:06What is it?

33:07I made it last night.

33:08It's a...

33:09Oh!

33:10It's a charity.

33:11It's okay.

33:14Where people can donate to help hospital patients pay their bills.

33:18And then I will match every dollar donated and send out roses to cheer people up.

33:23You've gotten this many donations already?

33:25I may have triple matched to get things started.

33:31Hmm.

33:33I may have triple matched my own donation to get things started, but it's going to take off.

33:41I feel it.

33:43Here.

33:44Come, uh, come with me.

33:53We'll be out of your way in a minute.

33:55We just wanted to drop these off for you.

33:59Oh, those are beautiful.

34:01Ah, thank you.

34:04Aren't you Grant?

34:06The guy that hospitalized that man?

34:09Ah.

34:10Leave the man alone, Alan.

34:14A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

34:18Shakespeare.

34:18Hmm.

34:20A little Romeo and Juliet here, huh?

34:23Well, we are fans, yeah.

34:26Uh, well, uh, thank you again for those beautiful roses.

34:30Of course.

34:30Really nice.

34:32I hope everything turns out okay for you.

34:36And you as well.

34:37Thanks.

34:38Thanks.

34:38Bye.

34:39Romeo and Juliet, huh?

34:41I'm impressed.

34:42Uh, near photographic memory.

34:45After you.

34:45I'll just put that here.

35:03That's the last of them.

35:04Can you even smell them?

35:06Here.

35:07Oh, they smell wonderful.

35:12Consider this my apology.

35:13Hey.

35:26Hey.

35:29Izzy.

35:30Hey.

35:31Hey.

35:32Come on.

35:33I...

35:33What's the matter?

35:35I thought you'd be happy about that.

35:38I am.

35:39The charity is great, but, um, there was an article in the paper about us, and now Renee

35:47thinks we're dating.

35:50Does she?

35:52Yeah.

35:53And she was really upset about it.

35:58Are you upset about it?

36:00I don't want to be some vanity news article.

36:10Izzy.

36:14What do you want?

36:17I don't know.

36:22Okay, well, um, let's get some fresh air.

36:27Yeah?

36:28Yeah.

36:28I'm just helping Izzy with your front case right now.

36:35Don't do a hair.

36:36The daughter of the man who assaulted me.

36:37I do not assault anyone.

36:38Don't.

36:39You don't use it.

36:39Okay.

36:39Excuse me.

36:42That'll be enough.

36:44We're not releasing a statement today.

36:46Come on.

36:48Back, everybody.

36:49Hey!

36:54Hey!

36:55Hey!

36:56Hey!

36:57Hey!

36:58Hey!

36:59Hey!

37:00Hey!

37:01Hey!

37:02Hey!

37:03Hey!

37:04Hey!

37:05Hey!

37:06Hey!

37:07Hey!

37:08Hey!

37:09Hey!

37:10Hey!

37:11Hey!

37:12Hey!

37:13Hey!

37:14Hey!

37:15Hey!

37:16Hey!

37:17Hey!

37:18Hey!

37:19Hey!

37:20Hey!

37:21Hey!

37:22Hey!

37:23Hey!

37:24Hey!

37:25Hey!

37:26Hey!

37:27So this is your sister's shop, huh?

37:35Mm-hmm.

37:36Well, this is a pretty cool place.

37:45Hey, have you ever played the bookstore game?

37:52It might be something fun to pass the time.

37:54Uh, no, I don't believe I have.

37:57How do you play?

37:58Okay, so I pick out three books that I think represent you,

38:03and then you pick out three books for me.

38:05Okay, so how do you win?

38:07Well, there's not exactly a winner.

38:09It's just a fun thing to do.

38:13But there could be a winner, right?

38:15Let's say the first to get all three books.

38:20Yeah, but it doesn't have to be a competition.

38:22Okay, but today maybe it is five minutes and counting.

38:27I wouldn't take that one if I were you.

38:40Good thing you're not me.

38:41Uh, three...

39:09Two...

39:11One!

39:12Oh!

39:13Just in time.

39:17Wow!

39:17Are there any books left on the shelf?

39:20Oh, well, I have your three books.

39:22Rest are for me.

39:22Okay.

39:25Uh, which ones are mine?

39:27Okay, so...

39:29The Three Musketeers.

39:33Yeah, because you always have Jesse and Richard with you.

39:36You're like the Three Musketeers in real life.

39:39And then next is Treasure Island.

39:45Oh, I loved this book as a kid.

39:48I figured it fits your sense of adventure.

39:51And then last but not least...

39:53Here, so you can learn some new quotes.

40:00Northanger Abbey.

40:01Are you ever going to stop pushing Jane Austen on me?

40:04Nope.

40:06All right.

40:12So, what about me?

40:14Oh!

40:16Yes!

40:17Uh, okay.

40:19There you go.

40:20Yeah.

40:25I chose that one because, like Dorothy,

40:28you just click your heels together

40:30and somehow everything magically works out.

40:35Wow.

40:36I wish that were true.

40:39The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

40:43Yeah.

40:44It's about these two guys who work together to solve crimes.

40:46It's like you and me.

40:46Have you actually read this book?

40:50No, but it's referenced all the time

40:52in movies and pop culture.

40:53Why?

40:54Okay, so this is about a scientist, Dr. Jekyll,

40:58who creates the serum

41:00which transforms him into another man.

41:02Hyde.

41:03He's a murderer.

41:06Yeah, so I don't want to spoil it,

41:08but it's not exactly a happy ending.

41:11Somehow all the references make more sense.

41:14That's not what I meant.

41:16That's not us.

41:18I'm sorry, Izzy.

41:19But hey, you know, you should read this.

41:22It's kind of interesting.

41:24It shows how a person can have good and evil in them.

41:28Two books.

41:30That means I win.

41:32Oh, did it have to be three?

41:35Well, technically you said the first to get to three, so...

41:38I did say the first to get to lucky number three,

41:44and it's Jane Austen.

41:47And I chose this one because, like Emma,

41:52you are always looking for the good in people.

41:58Hello?

42:01Anybody here?

42:02It's just us.

42:08Oh.

42:09Izzy, we talked about this.

42:12I'm buying.

42:14Oh, good.

42:15No family discount, then.

42:22Don't think I can't see what you're doing.

42:24Buying books?

42:26She's not like other girls.

42:28No, she's not.

42:30If you're just using...

42:33No, she's incredible.

42:36Okay.

42:37One more.

42:39So, Dad's been asking about the farm.

42:43I haven't been back there since before.

42:47Me neither.

42:49Well, the place is probably a mess.

42:51I don't want Dad to see it that way.

42:54Yeah, we better clean it up before we take him out there.

42:56How about next week?

42:58I can help.

43:01What?

43:03What?

43:04It's a farm, right?

43:06I mean, I can help clean it up.

43:08Hmm.

43:22What's that smell?

43:25Fresh air.

43:26Well, let's separate it.

43:31Oh, hello.

43:55Good girl.

44:05Good girl.

44:06I don't want to look at her.

44:07I don't know.

44:37Are you ready for your dad to get here?

44:48Everything feels just a little less terrible being back home.

44:54Including me?

44:56Maybe just a tiny bit.

45:00Maybe I should adopt the farm life.

45:04You wouldn't like it.

45:06Oh, I don't know.

45:10What about you?

45:12You ever think about moving back?

45:15Sometimes.

45:17Why don't you?

45:20Let's try to get work around here.

45:23I suppose that's true.

45:25We've got no food.

45:35We've got no food.

45:47I tell you what.

45:52You go get washed up and I will take care of dinner.

45:55All right.

45:56You do know it's too far for pizza delivery, right?

45:59What?

46:00I've ordered Chinese food before.

46:02Go.

46:03Go wash up.

46:04I got this.

46:05I promise.

46:06Good luck.

46:07Good luck.

46:22So this is a farm.

46:23Yee-haw.

46:24Be careful.

46:47Grant, there you are.

46:49Hey.

46:50Hey.

46:51Hey.

46:53Wow.

46:55You got cleaned up faster than I thought.

46:58So did you.

47:01What are you doing out here?

47:04Just getting dinner ready.

47:06Dinner?

47:12Come with me.

47:14What have you done?

47:21I said you were gonna handle dinner.

47:23This is not at all what I pictured.

47:25Well, I mean, it's not a top grade sushi bar,

47:29but it has some rustic charm, right?

47:36Dinner is served.

47:41Thank you for showing me the farm today.

47:44It has been...

47:47It's just what I needed.

47:50Thank you for letting me share it with you.

47:54They used to sit out here when I was a kid

47:56and we'd until the sun went down.

47:59You can see why.

48:01It's beautiful, isn't it?

48:03It's amazing.

48:05This... this is the rich life.

48:09I mean it. I mean this...

48:11This is really living.

48:13Yeah.

48:14It's amazing.

48:16In vain I have struggled.

48:18It will not do.

48:19My feelings will not regress.

48:22You must allow me...

48:25To tell you how ardently I admire...

48:29And love you.

48:32Did I get it right?

48:36Something like that?

48:38Is he?

48:39Yes.

48:41Will you marry me?

48:45I know. I just said that.

48:46I...

48:47But truly, I mean, if you're worried about what your sister

48:50and your whole family and the press are thinking,

48:54then let's get married and not have to worry about it.

48:57I can't believe what I'm hearing.

48:59I know, me neither.

49:00I...

49:01Did you just...

49:02Propose to me for the sake of your online image?

49:04Yes.

49:05No, no.

49:06No, what no?

49:07I didn't...

49:08And you brought the paparazzi to my house?

49:09No!

49:10I can't believe this.

49:11You're just the same image-obsessed influencer you've always been.

49:16I thought you'd changed.

49:17No, I... Izzy, this is not me.

49:19Please, no!

49:20Alright, get out of here.

49:21Izzy...

49:22Come on!

49:27How are you doing?

49:34Not so good.

49:36We were worried about you.

49:38It's not like you to disappear for a few days.

49:42I wanted to apologize about what I said at the hospital.

49:45About you and him and everything.

49:48Why?

49:49You were right about it all.

49:52But I still shouldn't have said it.

49:57I just felt so...

50:00Stupid...

50:01For falling into another relationship where the guy cared only about his public image.

50:06And the worst part is...

50:10I don't know if it's because I should have known better or...

50:15Because I overreacted.

50:18If it's any consolation.

50:20I thought you guys were cute at the bookstore.

50:28Emma...

50:33I think I made a big mistake.

50:38Have you tried reaching out to him?

50:41I have a different idea.

50:44The Board of Directors is pleased with your handling of the situation.

50:48They are looking forward to seeing you recommit to your acquisitions and streaming campaign.

50:54Ready to get back at it, boss?

50:57Let's go buy some businesses!

51:00Get sworn by fans!

51:02Yeah!

51:07Okay.

51:08I really messed up.

51:12I really messed up.

51:23Hello, everyone.

51:26Izzy here over at Charm's Specialty Drinks.

51:29Do you know what she's doing here?

51:31It was only a few short months ago that my last dream ended with my dad going into the hospital.

51:36I am very pleased to say he is doing much better now.

51:42Say hi, dad.

51:45When Grant Beast hit my dad with his car, even though it was an accident, I thought he was the worst human being in the world.

51:57And that was wrong of me.

51:59As my mom and Jane Austen used to say, angry people are not always wise.

52:08And I was angry.

52:11Really angry.

52:13Grant, I rushed to think the worst of you.

52:18And I'm sorry.

52:19You, the big-headed, privileged, corporate bully, proved to me that there is more to a person than their public personas.

52:33Without you, my dad wouldn't be sitting there right now.

52:36And when you came up with roses for relief, you proved to me that you were changed for the better.

52:45Get the car.

52:46So, in order to move forward, I'm deleting the live stream from my account.

52:55Thank you, everyone, for all of your love and support.

53:05Have a good one.

53:06They're just around the corner. You want to get them now?

53:09Okay.

53:10Izzy?

53:13Do you want to come?

53:15Yeah.

53:17Yeah, I...

53:19I just thought Grant might show up, you know?

53:26What's up, Beastie? How can I help you?

53:28I thought I...

53:30She already left?

53:32Oh, I'm afraid so.

53:34This is not how I expected this to go.

53:36How'd you expect it to go?

53:38I thought I'd come rushing in, right as she was finishing her video, you know?

53:42And she'd get all emotional, and we'd run into each other's arms like we were in a movie or something.

53:48A movie scene?

53:50Yes, like a movie scene.

53:53Because we are perfect for each other.

53:56Well, you know, it sounds to me like you want it to be too easy.

54:00What do you mean?

54:01Honestly, man, if she is perfect for you, then what are you going to do right now

54:05to show that she's worth it?

54:09Could I, uh...

54:11Could I maybe film here for a minute?

54:14Yeah, go ahead.

54:15I thought you did a really good job on your livestream.

54:21It's weird to think that chapter of my life is over.

54:25Feels like I just read a good book.

54:28I'm glad I read it, but...

54:30I'm sad it's over.

54:31Your life isn't like a book with a beginning and an end.

54:37Each day you live is a newly written page.

54:40You sound like Mom.

54:41You sound like Mom.

54:50What's up, beasties?

54:52I'm here live at Charmed Specialty Drinks.

54:58I'm here live at Charmed Specialty Drinks.

55:00Again, to show you how to live the rich life.

55:09At least that's the lie that I always fed you.

55:12What is he doing?

55:14The truth is, uh...

55:17The life I live comes from feeding off those who are struggling.

55:22And G&G enabled me.

55:30They would send me lists of property they wanted.

55:33And I would go and buy the businesses.

55:36And I wouldn't take no for an answer.

55:38I, uh...

55:40I used all sorts of tactics.

55:43To drive their business away and force them to shut down.

55:49I tried to do it to this wonderful place.

55:53But Izzy O'Hara...

55:56Izzy exposed my bullying tactics.

56:00And in my rush to get away from her...

56:04I hospitalized her father.

56:11What I've done is inexcusable.

56:17And I guess, uh...

56:20I guess what I'm trying to say...

56:23Is that I'm sorry.

56:26I'm sorry for how I've used all of you.

56:31And Izzy, if you're watching...

56:36I'm especially sorry to you.

56:39And how I've treated you.

56:41And I want to thank you...

56:43For showing me what it really means to live the rich life.

56:48There is so much good in this world.

56:51So much.

56:53And I want to be a part of it.

56:55Which is why I am resigning from G&G.

56:57I'm not that person anymore.

57:00Just thank you.

57:02All of you.

57:04For helping me see that.

57:06Go.

57:08Thanks man.

57:10Yeah.

57:12What is this?

57:14You a drink?

57:15On the house?

57:17Thinking of calling it the beast?

57:19I'm honored.

57:21So...

57:23What are you gonna do with all of this free time?

57:26Well...

57:28I think I'll start with a good read.

57:29Hmm.

57:30A person who is not pleasuring a good novel must be incredibly stupid.

57:37Intolerably stupid.

57:39Right.

57:40Intolerably.

57:41Right.

57:42Intolerably.

57:43Intolerably.

57:44Thank you for your apology, by the way.

57:46But I'm surprised that you lied on your live stream after everything that you've been through.

57:50What?

57:51What?

57:52What?

57:53What?

57:54What?

57:55What?

57:56What?

57:57What?

57:58What?

57:59What?

58:00What?

58:01What?

58:02What?

58:03What?

58:04What?

58:05What?

58:06What?

58:07What?

58:08What?

58:09Everything I said was true.

58:16You're not a beast.

58:20I did bond your proposal.

58:24What happened to that near-photographic memory of yours?

58:28I didn't exactly say no.

58:33A lady's imagination is very rapid.

58:36You're gems from admiration to love.

58:41From love to matrimony in a moment.

58:48Is that a yes?

58:51Yes.

58:52Wait a minute.

59:07That was the most romantic quote you could come up with.

59:11Mr. Darcy.

59:13Giving Caroline Bingley a backhanded compliment?

59:16Yes.

59:18Oh, listen here, bookworm.

59:19You're gonna have to do better than that if you want to impress me.

59:22Okay.

59:23I'm listening.

59:24Oh.

59:26Maybe something like...
