00:00:00What's your blood type, Beth?
00:00:06Um...
00:00:07AB negative?
00:00:09Why?
00:00:10Just my luck.
00:00:15What's wrong?
00:00:19ECHO!
00:00:21So, as you know, the company has been having a rough time lately.
00:00:25A partnership via marriage is crucial to our survival.
00:00:30We have decided that you should marry into the Venture family.
00:00:34The old eccentric Mr. Venture has a thing for, um, virgin brides.
00:00:41It's time you contribute to this family.
00:00:43Why can't Harmony marry him?
00:00:45ECHO, we've never told you this, but you're not my real daughter.
00:00:51You're adopted.
00:00:52You have been living under our roof for free for years.
00:00:55It's time to pay your dues.
00:00:57But Harmony and I share the same blood type.
00:00:59Duh.
00:01:00That's precisely why you were adopted.
00:01:02For my blood transfusions.
00:01:04What?
00:01:07Now!
00:01:10You will marry Nikola Venture in my place.
00:01:12Nikola Venture?
00:01:14The founder of the Venture Group?
00:01:16Yes.
00:01:17I heard he started the company way before the Soviet Union fell.
00:01:20So he's probably an old, toothless geezer by now.
00:01:23Don't worry.
00:01:24It's not that bad.
00:01:26When he dies, you'll be rich.
00:01:27We all will be.
00:01:28No!
00:01:29Listen, Echo.
00:01:30We adopted you so that we could use your blood for Harmony's transfusions.
00:01:34And we want you to stay a virgin.
00:01:36If you were to get pregnant, it could complicate your blood transfusions.
00:01:39And that old geezer's gonna lose his mind with excitement when he finds out that you're a virgin.
00:01:46I saw you as my own sister.
00:01:48How could you do this to me?
00:01:50You can say whatever you want to say, but you're still gonna marry that old fart.
00:02:00Mr. Venture, I'm Jeff Nicholson from the Nicholson Group.
00:02:19Nicholson.
00:02:22Yes, I'm deeply grateful, Mr. Venture.
00:02:30The contract will be sent to your company.
00:02:33I trust the wedding shall proceed as planned.
00:02:37Absolutely.
00:02:38There's nothing you need to worry about here.
00:02:47Oh, yeah?
00:02:59Master, everything is going according to plan.
00:03:07It doesn't appear your daughter is here by choice, Mr. Nicholson.
00:03:26Will this be a problem?
00:03:28No, no, not a problem at all.
00:03:30I'm sure it's just pre-wedding jitters.
00:03:33I can tell she is very much looking forward to this.
00:03:36Do not try to run.
00:03:47Wherever you go, I will find you.
00:03:50This is your fate.
00:03:51Just accept it.
00:03:57Stay back.
00:03:58Don't come any closer.
00:04:00Have no fear, ma'am.
00:04:02I am merely the castle's butler.
00:04:04And they call me Alfred.
00:04:10Please, follow me.
00:04:11Who are you?
00:04:22Shouldn't I be asking you that question?
00:04:24Miss intruder.
00:04:25After all, this is my room.
00:04:26Your bedroom?
00:04:27This is supposed to be Nicola Venture's home.
00:04:31Indeed.
00:04:32It is.
00:04:33Okay, a-a-a butler brought me here and then just left.
00:04:34My butler, Alfred.
00:04:35Wait.
00:04:36You're Nicola Venture?
00:04:37No way.
00:04:38That's impossible.
00:04:39I mean, I-I-I-
00:04:40Careful.
00:04:41Mr. Venture.
00:04:42What's your blood type?
00:04:43What's your blood type?
00:04:44No, I'm sorry.
00:04:45No.
00:04:46It's a very nice.
00:04:47That's my bedroom.
00:04:48And this is supposed to be Nicola Venture's home.
00:04:49Indeed.
00:04:50It is.
00:04:51Okay, a-a butler brought me here and then just left.
00:04:53My butler, Alfred.
00:04:54Wait.
00:04:55You're Nicola Venture?
00:04:56No way.
00:04:57That's impossible.
00:04:58I mean, I-
00:04:59Careful.
00:05:00Mr. Venture?
00:05:06What's your blood type?
00:05:11Um, AB negative?
00:05:13Why?
00:05:14Just my luck.
00:05:16Listen to me.
00:05:18You can't bleed around here ever.
00:05:20Do you understand?
00:05:21That means no cuts, no scratches, no scrapes, nothing.
00:05:25What? AB negative isn't that rare.
00:05:27It's not a big deal.
00:05:28Stop.
00:05:29Listen.
00:05:30I have no interest in love or marriage or any of that nonsense.
00:05:35This is strictly for business.
00:05:37Our contract will last a year.
00:05:40During that time, you will be my devoted wife.
00:05:44We're gonna play the perfect couple.
00:05:46You'll be paid what you deserve.
00:05:48No more, no less.
00:05:50And no one finds out otherwise.
00:05:52Is that clear?
00:05:54Wait, seriously?
00:05:57Yeah, I can do that.
00:06:00Wait, so what do you actually need me to do?
00:06:03Like, day to day.
00:06:06Clean.
00:06:11Ah!
00:06:12Well, well, well.
00:06:14If it isn't my sister who married an old man.
00:06:17Move aside, Harmony.
00:06:18I'm gonna pack my things.
00:06:19Oh, dear.
00:06:20You're not gonna get on a bus with a backpack and a suitcase, are you?
00:06:24By the way, Daddy bought me a Porsche,
00:06:26so maybe if you beg me nicely, I'll give you a lift.
00:06:43Mrs. Venture!
00:06:45Oh, my God.
00:06:50So Mr. Nikola Venture is so old that he needs bodyguards to help him get out of the car.
00:06:55Echo.
00:06:56Are you done packing?
00:06:57It's done you go home.
00:06:58Who is this?
00:06:59Yes.
00:07:00You're good.
00:07:01You're good.
00:07:02Who is this?
00:07:03Okay, no.
00:07:04No, I'm so sorry.
00:07:05Let me get you out of the car.
00:07:06Let me get you out of the car.
00:07:08Echo.
00:07:09Are you done packing?
00:07:10Not paying?
00:07:11It's time you go home.
00:07:12Who is this?
00:07:13Who is this?
00:07:14Who is this?
00:07:15Who is this?
00:07:16Who is this?
00:07:19Who is this?
00:07:25I'm Echo's husband, Nikola Venture.
00:07:28This has got to be some type of joke, right? Nikola Venture isn't some young, hot billionaire.
00:07:41Um, excuse me, big men, can you let me through? I am the real Mrs. Venture!
00:07:46Nikola! Wait for me, please! She's a doctor!
00:07:52Why would Mr. Venture keep a coffin in his room? A collection piece, maybe? Weird hobby.
00:08:03You don't need to do that. I already keep it in perfect shape. I highly doubt you'll match my standard. Go find something else to do.
00:08:11Please trust me, Mr. Venture. I promise I can handle it. I'm quite skilled at housework.
00:08:17Knock yourself out.
00:08:42Not impressed. It's like it's not even cleaned.
00:08:46Are you being picky on purpose?
00:08:47You said you were highly skilled.
00:08:57Master, why are you giving Mom such a hard time?
00:09:01Don't you think your angry face is a little entertaining?
00:09:04You're not shiny enough, huh?
00:09:24Echo!
00:09:54I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
00:10:07Damn it!
00:10:10That was so awkward.
00:10:24Special blood is more than just a feast.
00:10:31They say that if a human gives it willingly to a vampire, it could turn them back into
00:10:37a mortal.
00:10:40No.
00:10:42No, it's just a myth.
00:10:45I couldn't hurt anyone for just a myth.
00:10:54You should rest, Mr. Venture.
00:11:01Just stick to your job and clean properly.
00:11:05Alright.
00:11:07The Mickelson family is a very noble house.
00:11:11Why would someone like you be so skilled at simple housework?
00:11:17I'm not a real Mickelson.
00:11:23They adopted me.
00:11:25My foster mother told me if I didn't learn to serve my sister Harmony, I'd be tossed out.
00:11:31Well, you don't need to worry about that here.
00:11:33I don't just toss people aside on a whim.
00:11:35Thank you, Mr. Venture.
00:11:37Call me Nicola.
00:11:38Thank you, Nicola.
00:11:41Be careful, Nicola.
00:11:43Don't let a human girl get under your skin.
00:11:46It's late.
00:11:50You should go to your room.
00:11:52And don't make any noise.
00:11:53I like the quiet.
00:11:55Yes.
00:11:57He's so serious.
00:12:01And so weird.
00:12:04I think it's late, but it's just in the middle of the room.
00:12:14It's a bit too late.
00:12:17It's a bit too early.
00:12:19You're a bit too late.
00:12:21You must be Lillian.
00:12:36Yes, and you must be the groom, Mr. Langford.
00:12:38I am so glad that you're as late as I am.
00:12:41I am Lillian.
00:12:42Pleasure to marry you.
00:12:43Yeah, pleasure too, but actually, I'm Miss Gurdsson.
00:12:45Our wedding is starting, so let's go.
00:12:47Do you hear?
00:12:58The groom today is Rex Langford.
00:13:00He's one of the most famous billionaires in the world, and he's a successful lawyer.
00:13:04The guy makes a fortune.
00:13:06And don't forget, he's drop-dead gorgeous, too.
00:13:08I hear women are literally lining up just to look at him.
00:13:12Whoever's marrying him has hit the jackpot.
00:13:17All right.
00:13:31You promise to love, honor, and cherish this man in sickness and in health as long as you
00:13:36both shall live?
00:13:37Yes, I do.
00:13:39And you, sir?
00:13:41On behalf of Mr. Langford, I do.
00:13:42On behalf of Mr. Langford, he's not the groom.
00:13:48L.A.'s most eligible bachelor since the stand-in to his own wedding.
00:13:52I heard she's just after his money.
00:13:54I don't blame him.
00:13:54Mr. Langford is above all this.
00:13:58Why did you shut up?
00:14:00All right, Miss Blake, Mr. Langford's representative, you may now exchange the rings.
00:14:05Uh, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:14:18Mr. Langford's representative, you may now kiss the bride.
00:14:21On behalf of myself?
00:14:40Hell no.
00:14:42Just let me explain.
00:14:43I'm Mr. Langford's lawyer.
00:14:45He got caught up in a work emergency.
00:14:47He's just running a little bit late.
00:14:48Oh, a work emergency.
00:14:50On the day of his wedding?
00:14:57Now please tell him to send the money immediately.
00:14:59My brother needs it for his surgery.
00:15:18Are you okay?
00:15:39Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:40Oh, nice suit.
00:15:44You must be up next.
00:15:46I'm sorry for the delay.
00:15:50Well wishes on your wedding.
00:15:57Mr. Langford, you're here.
00:15:59I'm sorry, but the wedding, it's already over.
00:16:02Over?
00:16:02What are you talking about?
00:16:06Did she say anything?
00:16:08She said to transfer the agreed upon money.
00:16:14Of course.
00:16:15It's always about the money.
00:16:18I'm only doing this for my grandmother's sake.
00:16:21Tell her I'm going to make out of business.
00:16:23At least until my grandmother self-improves.
00:16:26I'll handle the divorce then.
00:16:27Of course, Mr. Langford.
00:16:29Also, after this matter is resolved, I'm going to be stepping down.
00:16:35Fiona's going to be taking over my position.
00:16:38Safe travels.
00:16:38Safe travels.
00:16:38Oh, boss, you finally came back.
00:17:01That cross-border acquisition was truly a masterpiece.
00:17:04My only regret is that your team there didn't have a woman.
00:17:06I wonder if you've truly been taken care of over these years.
00:17:10What's my schedule, Fiona?
00:17:11Right, sir, of course.
00:17:13Since you've been traveling all day, I cleared it.
00:17:15Except for a rather important little thing.
00:17:19And what would that be?
00:17:20Your divorce.
00:17:24Mr. Mrs. Langford, that woman hasn't shown her face in these three years.
00:17:28She hasn't cared about you at all.
00:17:30A successful man like you deserves a caring woman to be your wife.
00:17:35Someone like...
00:17:36Fiona, you're my assistant.
00:17:37I make the decisions.
00:17:39Did Edward teach you nothing?
00:17:40I...
00:17:41And keep your distance.
00:17:42I don't like your perfume.
00:17:44Rex!
00:17:54It's her.
00:17:55This is your fifth birthday event in a month.
00:18:03Why do you always get to be the center of attention?
00:18:05Because I bring in the most cash and boss knows I need it.
00:18:08Are you still sending money to that mysterious husband of yours?
00:18:11Yes.
00:18:12But technically I'm paying him back.
00:18:14Once I do, I can start my new life.
00:18:17Hey, sweetheart.
00:18:28Be a dear in it.
00:18:30Give me some tail.
00:18:31Very funny, sir.
00:18:32But to participate in the event, you have to pay the price.
00:18:36We are the event, sugar lips.
00:18:39We got everything we need to have a great time.
00:18:41So may I enjoy your fluids now?
00:18:43I'm sorry, sir.
00:18:44But there's a $10,000 minimum liquor purchase.
00:18:48Oh.
00:18:49So high and mighty.
00:18:50You stupid slut.
00:18:52Milking men in the dark for all their worth.
00:18:54Shadow Lily.
00:18:56A fitting name for a manipulative whore.
00:18:58Well, this is the Shadow Bar.
00:19:00There's Shadow Coco, Shadow Rose.
00:19:02Even Shadow Bear.
00:19:04That's what you're into?
00:19:05Just name your goddamn price.
00:19:06My price.
00:19:08I can promise you're not going to want to pay it.
00:19:10But if you agree to cut off your own dick, I'll give you a 20% discount.
00:19:14You bitch.
00:19:15Time to celebrate.
00:19:18Our birthday girl, Shadow Lily, is ready to party!
00:19:22And to kick the night off, she already received her first gift.
00:19:28100 bottles of Ace of Spades!
00:19:33Oh, that's the $500,000 for really good stuff.
00:19:44Who's this guy?
00:19:47Happy birthday, Lily.
00:19:50Back off, man.
00:19:51I got dibs.
00:19:53Wait in line.
00:19:54You did this?
00:19:55Trying to get me to up my limit?
00:19:57Do you know the number for 911?
00:19:59Trying to take care of yourself before a beatdown?
00:20:02You're smarter than you look, pal.
00:20:03It's not for me.
00:20:05It's for you.
00:20:17It's good to see you again.
00:20:19What?
00:20:20It all comes down to this.
00:20:37Dammit.
00:20:37What happened in the last three years to make her so desperate?
00:20:52Boss, the team is waiting for you in the VIP lounge.
00:20:55Tell them I'll pay for everything.
00:20:57Wait, but I...
00:20:58Well, it looks like you're the big winner tonight.
00:21:06You've won my special service.
00:21:09Would you like me to get started now?
00:21:10She's an escort?
00:21:12Here?
00:21:15You sure that's a good idea?
00:21:17Yeah, I don't see a problem with it.
00:21:18We can do it right here.
00:21:19I just...
00:21:26I...
00:21:28Why is it so blurry?
00:21:33Hey, hey, hey, oh...
00:21:34How did I get here?
00:22:00Oh.
00:22:05You're awake.
00:22:11What happened?
00:22:14Did we...
00:22:14Last night?
00:22:15It was insane.
00:22:17You were completely out of it.
00:22:18I had to bring you back here.
00:22:22My back.
00:22:24You really put me through it last night.
00:22:26You're back?
00:22:27Did I really go that far?
00:22:28Don't worry.
00:22:30I have been farther.
00:22:32Anyway, but last night...
00:22:36An actual invoice?
00:22:43I didn't know these kind of services had gone that professional.
00:22:49Well, I run a professional business, so I don't want to get arrested for tax evasion.
00:22:53Okay.
00:22:58I think it's what I'm supposed to do.
00:23:01So...
00:23:01I didn't know...
00:23:02Oh, so I don't know.
00:23:02I think it's what you took a role.
00:23:07The opposing service has gone on.
00:23:08Lillie Blake.
00:23:08Lillie Blake.
00:23:09Why does that name sound so familiar?
00:23:11Mr. Langford!
00:23:30Mr. Langford, I believe that there's a matter of utmost importance.
00:23:34And what would that be?
00:23:41It's about your wife. She only married you for your money and she continues to leech off of your name without a word.
00:23:49She hasn't been in contact with anyone? At all?
00:23:53No. Nothing.
00:23:56Why would Grandma choose her?
00:23:59You're married to a stranger. Isn't it holding you back from being with a woman you may... really want?
00:24:08Mr. Langford, you need to track down Lillian and end this.
00:24:12You're right. I need to see Lillie.
00:24:23Where's the woman calling herself Shadow Lillie? Show your scape face!
00:24:29Is it you?
00:24:31You homewrecker!
00:24:33Hey!
00:24:38That's the ugly bitch whose tricks you've been falling for?!
00:24:42Wasting all our savings on?!
00:24:44Excuse me, I think that you have the wrong idea.
00:24:46Sluts like you deserve to be slapped.
00:24:53Hey! Let it go!
00:24:55So sorry Mr. Langford, apologies for the disturbance.
00:24:58You filthy bitch! Let me go!
00:25:01Whore deserves it!
00:25:03Do something! You're such a wimp!
00:25:07Slut!
00:25:09Thank you for saving me.
00:25:11Twice now.
00:25:19You don't belong in a place like this.
00:25:21I work for a great company.
00:25:23I want you to give me a call.
00:25:25I want to help you out.
00:25:27Starry law firm, huh?
00:25:29Must be a very different world from this one.
00:25:31I'm not cut out for it.
00:25:32You won't even consider it?
00:25:34Judging my job?
00:25:36No job is inherently better than any other.
00:25:39I work very hard.
00:25:41And I'm extremely good at what I do.
00:25:43Sorry, I'm kind of exhausted.
00:25:45I have a night shift later.
00:25:47So I'm going to head out, but...
00:25:51Bye.
00:25:52See ya.
00:25:57I want to buy.
00:25:59What can I do for?
00:26:01This bar.
00:26:03I want to buy this bar.
00:26:06Mr. Langford, the world is dying to know.
00:26:09Why would a CEO and chief attorney of the world's leading law firm suddenly buy a bar?
00:26:15Well, I like to dedicate myself fully to my pursuits.
00:26:18But sometimes it just blinds you to other opportunities.
00:26:23I'm taking a risk stepping outside my comfort zone, but I think that this will pay off.
00:26:31What is he talking about?
00:26:36Swishing things up a bit.
00:26:38Your illustrious love life is often the topic of public conversation.
00:26:42As the city's top eligible bachelor, what do you look for in a partner?
00:26:55I like an independent woman.
00:26:57I'm full of surprises.
00:26:59I find that love is often full of surprises.
00:27:06And it's not a list of traits, it's a feeling.
00:27:12And when you meet that special someone, you just know.
00:27:20Mr. Langford, you're such an honest and impressive man.
00:27:33I'd love to have dinner with you.
00:27:37Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.
00:27:41I'm intrigued.
00:27:52What are you laughing at?
00:27:55Oh, you think you have a shot?
00:27:58Please.
00:27:59Your stench alone would scare him off.
00:28:02I think yours did the job just fine.
00:28:04Why don't you just shut up and do your job?
00:28:06I'm ready to order.
00:28:20To start, I'll have the escargot followed by the truffle cream soup,
00:28:23seafood paella as my main, and a bottle of Lafitte.
00:28:26Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:28:27Escargot.
00:28:28Truffle.
00:28:29As in the delicacy this fine club promotes having?
00:28:32How long have you worked here?
00:28:33You're a shit-server.
00:28:34Oh.
00:28:35Maybe that's because I'm not actually a sir-
00:28:37I don't care what you do, actually.
00:28:39You won't last long here anyway.
00:28:45I'm gonna report you to Mr. Langford,
00:28:47so he can fire your ungrateful ass.
00:28:49Sorry, Joyce.
00:28:50I don't have that power.
00:28:52Lily's the new owner of the bar.
00:28:54She makes the decisions around here.
00:28:57You're lying.
00:28:59Surely someone like you, Mr. Langford,
00:29:01would never associate himself with a filthy whore like her.
00:29:05Watch your mouth.
00:29:06This bar will not tolerate slander against his new owner.
00:29:10Please escort this woman out.
00:29:12Yes, sir.
00:29:14Hmm.
00:29:16Third time's the charm.
00:29:33So how should I thank you?
00:29:35Ah.
00:29:36I don't know, you could rethink my proposal.
00:29:39Come work with me.
00:29:41And what?
00:29:42Give up my extremely flexible and incredibly profitable gig for endless hours of corporate overtime.
00:29:47Man, you really know how to make a sweet deal.
00:29:50That wasn't an outright no.
00:29:56Why did you buy this place?
00:29:58For my reasons.
00:30:00One day you'll know.
00:30:04Look, I'm serious. I'm offering you a job.
00:30:09You weren't kidding.
00:30:12No, I don't have any experience.
00:30:15Well, you like working behind the bar.
00:30:18That's no different than working reception.
00:30:20You're good with people. That's all it takes.
00:30:23I do need the money.
00:30:25The sooner I can pay off my debt, the sooner I can get divorced.
00:30:28Whatever you're making, I'll triple it.
00:30:31All right.
00:30:37Yeah, I guess the receptionist just handles the counter like I do here at the bar, right?
00:30:42Okay, deal.
00:30:43I've got a dress to London.
00:31:00Good afternoon.
00:31:01I'm sorry, but we don't allow women in your line of work here.
00:31:09And what work is that, exactly?
00:31:12Obviously, you're a street walker.
00:31:14Well, who doesn't walk on the street?
00:31:16Oh, hon. I'm the manager.
00:31:18I'm just doing what's necessary to maintain the integrity of the store.
00:31:23Now get out.
00:31:24Wait.
00:31:25Miss, please.
00:31:26She isn't.
00:31:27The manager.
00:31:28I mean.
00:31:29Just a bitch.
00:31:31Let me help you.
00:31:32I know what you need.
00:31:38Oh, how much is this one?
00:31:40Out of your budget, I'm sure.
00:31:42I can't imagine your clientele are paying premium prices.
00:31:46You little piece-
00:31:47Bag it up.
00:31:48I've got it.
00:31:53Oh my god.
00:31:54We're living in a real life rom-com.
00:31:56What an adorable meet cute.
00:31:58Yeah.
00:31:59Young, stupid little boy who hasn't even tasted a woman yet.
00:32:03So, will that be cash or card?
00:32:07For Christ's sake.
00:32:09Pocket change?
00:32:10Maybe it was meant to be.
00:32:12Is there something wrong with you two?
00:32:14You seem, like, way too concerned about my personal finances.
00:32:17I don't like the way you're talking to my sister, so...
00:32:20Back off.
00:32:21How dare you!
00:32:22What are you doing here?
00:32:24You are not supposed to be exerting yourself.
00:32:26You're still recovering.
00:32:27Look, I'm feeling great.
00:32:28And, uh, you said yourself I'm doing better, so...
00:32:33Well, put your money away.
00:32:35It's too expensive anyway.
00:32:36No, I want to.
00:32:37Are you ever going to just listen to me?
00:32:41Look, Lily, you spent so long taking care of me, sacrificing for me, just...
00:32:47Please let me just do this one thing for you.
00:32:51Is this an episode of Suits?
00:33:06Excuse me, miss.
00:33:07Do you have an appointment?
00:33:08Uh, I'm actually here for my first day.
00:33:11Okay, give me a moment.
00:33:13Shadow Lily, what are you doing here?
00:33:18Oh, Rex actually invited me to work at the front desk.
00:33:21Are you... his secretary?
00:33:24Shouldn't you know about this?
00:33:26Of course I do.
00:33:28Follow me.
00:33:32Guys, we have a new colleague joining us.
00:33:35What's your name again?
00:33:40Lily.
00:33:41She has a background in a specialty service industry.
00:33:46But has decided to go in a new professional direction.
00:33:51Let's tidy up our things for our new addition.
00:33:54Put all of our nice things away.
00:33:57You know, keep everything safe.
00:33:59Excuse me.
00:34:05What is it that you're implying?
00:34:08That because I worked at a bar, you think that I'm gonna rob you all blind?
00:34:12Is that it?
00:34:15Relax.
00:34:17I have dealt with all types of shit.
00:34:20You and your little uptight white-collar world don't intimidate me.
00:34:25I get it, darling.
00:34:26I'll forgive you for this outburst.
00:34:30But let's refrain from the rudeness going forward.
00:34:35Why don't you get everyone a coffee as an apology?
00:34:39There's a cafe downstairs that has a killer $20 espresso.
00:34:43Oh, I love that place.
00:34:46I usually only treat myself once a week, but if she's buying...
00:34:50Oh!
00:34:51That's going to be so expensive.
00:34:53I would hate to put you in that situation.
00:34:55I know you can't afford it right now.
00:34:59I'll take care of it.
00:35:00Don't you worry.
00:35:02Don't bother.
00:35:04I can handle it myself.
00:35:05Oh, so you're going the DIY route.
00:35:15How very budget.
00:35:20For goodness sakes.
00:35:24There's no rush.
00:35:25I made enough for everybody.
00:35:26Oh, wow.
00:35:27Oh, wow.
00:35:28Oh, wow.
00:35:29That's incredible.
00:35:31It smells so good.
00:35:33Mm-hmm.
00:35:34Lily, this is the best coffee I've ever had.
00:35:37Thank you so much.
00:35:38It smells so rich.
00:35:44It smells really hard.
00:35:46Always a flirt.
00:35:48Guess you can't really leave your old life behind.
00:35:51It's too happy.
00:35:53That was important for me, guys, sir.
00:35:56So I said the good news is your payment was received.
00:35:59The bad news is you got no parole and it's to life.
00:36:04Oh, poor people.
00:36:06You know, I always imagined the day we'd go toe to toe in the courtroom.
00:36:10There it is.
00:36:11And you know, I'm not going to go easy on you.
00:36:12Oh, please, Edward.
00:36:14Who taught you everything you know?
00:36:15Hey, boss, just thought you'd want to see what the new girl's been getting up to.
00:36:27She seems to be a big hit with the man in the office.
00:36:31It's her first day.
00:36:33This is ridiculous.
00:36:34Hey, are you hungry?
00:36:35Why don't we grab some lunch?
00:36:36Sorry, Edward.
00:36:37A friend of mine just started working at the office and she's already getting bullied.
00:36:41I gotta keep going.
00:36:42Is this like a special friend?
00:36:45You know, you still are technically a married man.
00:36:48I'm getting a divorce.
00:36:49I hardly know her.
00:36:50Come on.
00:36:52Yeah, she is special.
00:37:02Isn't that...
00:37:04Anyways, I'm sorry, Edward.
00:37:05I gotta get going.
00:37:06Hey, Rex, wait!
00:37:07Next one's on me!
00:37:10Oh, man.
00:37:11That was your wife.
00:37:13She definitely is special.
00:37:15Woo!
00:37:20Coffee school?
00:37:22Looks like she's enjoying herself.
00:37:25This looks like some proper co-worker bonding.
00:37:28I'm so glad you guys like it.
00:37:29Mr. Langford!
00:37:30Mr. Langford!
00:37:31Mr. Langford!
00:37:32Sir!
00:37:33Thank God you're back.
00:37:34You need to get a handle on the new hire.
00:37:35She's been putting on a show and distracting everyone all morning.
00:37:36It's like free advertising for her business.
00:37:37Business?
00:37:38Send her to my office at once.
00:37:39Hey!
00:37:40Tell Lily she's needed in Mr. Langford's office.
00:37:41Immediately!
00:37:42Useless parasites.
00:37:43Time to be rid of you.
00:37:44Time to be rid of you.
00:37:45Boss, we can move forward with the divorce proceedings.
00:37:46I'm sorry.
00:37:47I'm sorry.
00:37:48I'm sorry.
00:37:49I'm sorry.
00:37:50I'm sorry.
00:37:51I'm sorry.
00:37:52I'm sorry.
00:37:53I'm sorry.
00:37:54I'm sorry.
00:37:55I'm sorry.
00:37:56With you here you're ready.
00:37:57Can I handlelife?
00:37:58I'm sorry.
00:37:59Hey!
00:38:00What's the Barr Ganon in there?
00:38:01You're not supposed to move forward ź°ź¹ sponsored by Mr. Langford's office.
00:38:02Immediately!
00:38:03Useless parasites.
00:38:04Time to be rid of you.
00:38:11Boss, we can move forward with the divorce proceedings.
00:38:14I got your lawyers to draw everything up for you.
00:38:16And here's your marriage certificate, personal photos and some other documentation needed for
00:38:22dissolution.
00:38:24Everything is ready to go.
00:38:25You just need a signature.
00:38:31Did you want to call her?
00:38:33No need.
00:38:43I think you may have set a new record, Lily.
00:38:45Shortest employment at starry law firm history.
00:38:49Fiona, just go.
00:38:51Sure. I'll just go prepare Lily's resignation papers.
00:38:54No, no, no. You'll do nothing of the sort. Do as I say. Close the door on the way out.
00:39:08What can I do for you?
00:39:17I understand that you were quite skilled in your last position.
00:39:22And some of those skills don't seem to translate appropriately to this job.
00:39:27But everybody loved it.
00:39:29I mean, some people even signed up for private lessons.
00:39:32Is something wrong with that?
00:39:34I hired you for this firm to move away from that sort of public service.
00:39:39You understand?
00:39:41Yeah, no, I don't understand.
00:39:44Fiona told me to buy coffee for everyone.
00:39:47And that's more than I can afford.
00:39:49So I creatively problem solved.
00:39:54And I want to fit in here. I want to do good work here.
00:39:56I saw a chance to do both. So I took it.
00:39:59Is there a problem with that?
00:40:00Coffee?
00:40:01Yeah.
00:40:02What else did you think?
00:40:04Uh, no. Nothing. I'm sorry. I apologize.
00:40:15Um, uh...
00:40:19Could you help me with something?
00:40:22I have some papers that need to be mailed.
00:40:24Okay. Does the recipient know they're coming?
00:40:28It's best to be polite. Keep people informed.
00:40:30So you like polite people?
00:40:32Yeah, I do.
00:40:34You know what, you're right.
00:40:35Thank you. I'll call it right away.
00:40:37Of course.
00:40:38Sorry, I just need to answer this.
00:41:00She hung up on me.
00:41:02Oh, maybe it was a mistake.
00:41:03Could you please mail those?
00:41:05Yeah.
00:41:08What is that?
00:41:12What are you doing?
00:41:13What is that?
00:41:14Mr. Langford asked me to mail it for him.
00:41:17I'm Mr. Langford's assistant.
00:41:20I'll take it from here.
00:41:22Great.
00:41:24Go right ahead.
00:41:36This looks familiar.
00:41:38Boo!
00:41:39What are you doing?
00:41:41Did you go to the court again?
00:41:42Exercise is good for recovery.
00:41:43What you got there?
00:41:44What are you doing?
00:41:45What are you doing?
00:41:46Did you go to the court again?
00:41:47Exercise is good for recovery.
00:41:48What you got there?
00:41:49What's that?
00:41:50What's that?
00:41:51Hey, Lily?
00:41:52Hmm.
00:41:53You seen this?
00:41:54What another pass do you notice?
00:41:55Just leave it.
00:41:56Take care of it tomorrow.
00:41:57It's fucking divorce paper.
00:41:59Congratulations, you're finally free from that scumbag.
00:42:02How the hell did he beat me to it?
00:42:03He just goes M.I.A for the longest time and then suddenly he sends me to the court.
00:42:04What?
00:42:05What?
00:42:06What?
00:42:07What's that?
00:42:08Which one is mine.
00:42:09What do you think?
00:42:10Yeah, of course.
00:42:11Just leave it.
00:42:12Take care of it tomorrow.
00:42:13What is fuckin' divorce paper?
00:42:14Congratulations, you're finally free from that scumbag!
00:42:18How the hell did he beat me to it?
00:42:29He just goes MIA for the longest time and then suddenly he sends me papers?
00:42:33You bailed on our wedding, sent some random lawyer to embarrass me, and I've been paying
00:42:54you back ever since.
00:42:55Now out of the blue you send me divorce papers?
00:42:58Do you have any tact?
00:42:59How dare you?
00:43:00Oh, that's rich, bitch.
00:43:08It's over.
00:43:10I have someone else.
00:43:12So stop bothering me, you gold-digging whore.
00:43:17Just sign the papers and leave me alone.
00:43:27Gold digger.
00:43:28He's got some nerve when he's blatantly cheating on me.
00:43:32He will get your money back, asshole.
00:43:35He's gonna sign those goddamn papers right now.
00:43:39Good morning, Lily.
00:43:42Good morning.
00:43:48Good morning.
00:43:48You look like you pulled an all-nighter.
00:44:00You're not still moonlighting at your old gig, are you?
00:44:04Old gig?
00:44:05What?
00:44:05No, no, um, I'm, I just was up all night arguing with this jerk.
00:44:11A jerk?
00:44:12So you didn't...
00:44:12What?
00:44:19Nothing.
00:44:22I'm sorry you had a deal with an asshole.
00:44:25What kind of a person is against a fight in the middle of the night, right?
00:44:29Want me to sue him for you?
00:44:31No.
00:44:34No, no, I appreciate the offer.
00:44:36Maybe some other time.
00:44:37I'm so sorry, I have to go now.
00:44:38It's Cartoon Day, and I want to see what everyone's wearing.
00:44:42Hey, Cartoon Day.
00:44:56Lily, what is going on here?
00:44:59It's tacky as hell.
00:45:01There's no place in his office.
00:45:05Fiona, are you lying?
00:45:07Or I'll wait.
00:45:08Shit is the boss.
00:45:13He hates this sort of thing.
00:45:15I'm sensing some mandatory upcoming overtime.
00:45:18Well, he better not do anything to Lily.
00:45:20I can't live without her heist coffee.
00:45:22He's coming for you.
00:45:24You're so fired.
00:45:26It's time to slink back to your shadows, Lily.
00:45:29Lily.
00:45:29Boss is really loosening up lately.
00:45:41I think it's Lily.
00:45:42She brings something special to this place.
00:45:45She is seriously amazing.
00:45:47I heard she's working on a point system for me three box prizes and a pizza party.
00:45:56So you think that just because you're the boss, you get to cut the line?
00:45:59Uh.
00:46:00I will allow it this time, because you missed the first time.
00:46:05Here.
00:46:07It's whiskey flavored, actually.
00:46:09My secret recipe.
00:46:11Okay.
00:46:17I said whiskey flavored.
00:46:22Don't worry.
00:46:22There's no booze in it.
00:46:29Do you like it?
00:46:31Of course not.
00:46:32Rex's palate has refined.
00:46:34He knows the real deal from a cheap knockoff.
00:46:38This is delicious.
00:46:40It's way better than what we get downstairs.
00:46:43Yeah.
00:46:48Phew.
00:46:49You had me worried there for a second, boss.
00:46:52Maybe next time, just answer a little quicker.
00:47:00Insufferable bitch.
00:47:01Fiona, did you hear about our latest case?
00:47:06It's terrifying.
00:47:07It's a rich and powerful bastard charged with aggravated assault, and I'm supposed to conduct
00:47:12the initial interview, but honestly, I am so scared.
00:47:17Don't worry about it.
00:47:19I'll take care of it.
00:47:22Lily!
00:47:22Lily!
00:47:23Go gather the relevant archival information for our latest case.
00:47:33You're taking over.
00:47:35But I'm just the receptionist.
00:47:38Didn't you say not to ever touch the case files before?
00:47:41That I have no legal training?
00:47:43That it would be irresponsible?
00:47:45Look.
00:47:46Everyone's swamped right now.
00:47:47Do your part to help out.
00:47:51Fine.
00:47:51Travis Hilton.
00:48:00I had a friend with that name when I was a little kid.
00:48:02I don't know.
00:48:32Look out!
00:48:43Fiona, what are you doing?
00:48:58Oh, these files are stuck.
00:49:02I'm so sorry.
00:49:03I was just trying to free them.
00:49:07I'm going to go.
00:49:11I'll see you.
00:49:14Lily, wait.
00:49:16Lily, wait!
00:49:18God damn it.
00:49:20What?
00:49:28Excuse me, are you Travis Hilton?
00:49:33Keep your voice down.
00:49:34His name attracts attention.
00:49:36I'm trying to keep this discreet.
00:49:39Sorry.
00:49:41I'm Lily from Starry Law Firm.
00:49:43I'm here to discuss the details of the case with you.
00:49:45Mr. Hilton, are you ready to begin?
00:49:48I'm not Travis.
00:49:49I'm his agent.
00:49:50Oh, well, when will he be arriving?
00:49:55Please.
00:49:56He's a global superstar.
00:49:57He's not going to show up to you in a random cafe.
00:50:01His fans will flood the streets.
00:50:04Well, I came here specifically to meet with him.
00:50:07I know.
00:50:07Look, every woman and her mother wants to meet Travis.
00:50:12And you're not special just because it's your job.
00:50:15What do I need to do to get you to win the case and go away?
00:50:21You want a photo?
00:50:22I got a signed photo.
00:50:24No, I don't care about a photo.
00:50:26All right.
00:50:27Play hardball.
00:50:29I can get you a free cameo.
00:50:31It'll be no more than 20 seconds.
00:50:34He'll say your name, call you baby.
00:50:37This is not a game.
00:50:38This is a real case.
00:50:40And if you want this resolved quickly, you and your client need to cooperate.
00:50:44Sorry.
00:50:44No.
00:50:45You clearly can't handle this.
00:50:48And you need to get your boss to find someone who can.
00:50:51Sorry I'm late.
00:50:54Long time no see, Lily.
00:50:56You.
00:50:56It really is you.
00:51:03Is that really Travis Hilton?
00:51:05What's he doing here?
00:51:06Look at that helmet.
00:51:07That's a custom-made, one-of-a-kind design.
00:51:09It has to be him.
00:51:11You're supposed to be laying low until the scandal blows over.
00:51:14Travis Hilton?
00:51:14You can't be seen in public right now.
00:51:16Travis Hilton!
00:51:16Oh, I love you so much!
00:51:17Can I have your autograph?
00:51:19Who's that woman he's with?
00:51:20Wait, is he on a date?
00:51:22Is that his girlfriend?
00:51:23Ladies, please.
00:51:24This is a private meeting.
00:51:25Respect Travis.
00:51:26They're holding hands!
00:51:27They're holding hands!
00:51:34Relax.
00:51:34You can be yourself here.
00:51:37You don't have to worry about fans chasing you or causing a traffic jam.
00:51:40You.
00:51:41Joe, this is Travis.
00:51:43We just needed a quiet place to sort of hide out for a little bit.
00:51:47Of course, anything for Lily, it's a joy.
00:51:52Thanks.
00:51:57Oh, thank you.
00:52:02Saved me back there.
00:52:04My knight in shiny armor.
00:52:08Just like when we were kids.
00:52:09I can't believe you're such a massive racing star.
00:52:12You should be really proud, Travis.
00:52:15What about you?
00:52:17What have you been up to?
00:52:21Well, you know how you were always into racing?
00:52:25And I was always into cocktails, I guess.
00:52:31So I actually became a bartender.
00:52:35And I'm pretty good at it.
00:52:55I'm pretty good at it.
00:53:04Throw it.

00:53:16Oh, I sent her to meet with Travis Hilton.

00:56:05this is a sexual assault case
00:56:07you shouldn't be anywhere near
00:56:08Travis Hilton
00:56:09you have done zero research
00:56:11on his case
00:56:11how can you be so sure
00:56:12that he's guilty?
00:56:13doesn't that go against
00:56:14everything that the
00:56:14justice system stands for?
00:56:16in most cases
00:56:17yes

00:56:34you seem awfully
00:56:37invested in his downfall
