00:00:00They say the most primal human things are fighting.
00:00:04And, well, I was about to learn both.
00:00:11Every girl wants to find her prince charming.
00:00:13But, unfortunately, we don't exactly live in a fairy tale world.
00:00:17There's no such thing as happily ever after.
00:00:21Where is the duck for table two?
00:00:23Table two ordered something special, chef.
00:00:25Uh, no. Table two ordered the special, and the special is the duck.
00:00:32What is this?
00:00:33Nothing.
00:00:34Yes, exactly. This is nothing. Now, the duck.
00:00:38Just do what your boss says, Lily. You can't afford to lose another job.
00:00:42How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?
00:00:45Table two, the duck.
00:00:51So, I'm thinking about adopting a dog.
00:00:53You know, like the little tiny dogs that can fit in your handbag.
00:00:56They're so cute.
00:00:57So, anyway, once your inheritance is secure,
00:01:00the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:01:02But, what is this mystery clause you won't tell us about, Jack?
00:01:08Jack.
00:01:10Jack.
00:01:11Hello?
00:01:12Yeah, the duck.
00:01:16Hi.
00:01:20Hi.
00:01:23You ordered the special?
00:01:28Actually, I ordered the...
00:01:29Trust me.
00:01:30Who is that girl?
00:01:32Something about her.
00:01:35It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:36Wow.
00:01:37That was presumptuous.
00:01:39Huh?
00:01:39The waitress not bringing you what I ordered?
00:01:42Don't tell me you're actually impressed with that little slut, Jack.
00:01:44It looks good.
00:01:46The food or the waitress?
00:01:48And what do you think you are doing?
00:01:59I'm making something from the century.
00:02:01You know what?
00:02:01That's it.
00:02:02I've had enough.
00:02:03You are fired.
00:02:03Get out of here.
00:02:04Not this again.
00:02:07What did you say?
00:02:09I am serious this time.
00:02:11You are fired.
00:02:11You get out of here.
00:02:12What?
00:02:13You take this.
00:02:14You give up your act.
00:02:15You get out.
00:02:16No, please, sir.
00:02:16It won't happen again.
00:02:18No, it's no more Mr. Nice Guys.
00:02:19It's time you get out.
00:02:20You leave.
00:02:21Please.
00:02:21No, no.
00:02:22Go ahead.
00:02:23Full call.
00:02:23Man.
00:02:24Return.
00:02:27They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:31Yeah, the trash.
00:02:37Asshole.
00:02:46Don't scream.
00:02:57Don't scream.
00:02:58Don't scream, baby.
00:03:00Or do scream for me.
00:03:02Hey, wait.
00:03:16Hey, wait.
00:03:16Not now, Werner.
00:03:42Jack, my man.
00:03:43Hupasso.
00:03:44So I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:47When are you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:49The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:52Yeah.
00:03:53Yeah, come on, are you even listening?
00:03:56I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:03:59And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:04:01Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:02Um.
00:04:05How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:10Maybe next time.
00:04:11Thanks.
00:04:15Call me.
00:04:16I'll call you back.
00:04:17Jack, come on.
00:04:18He'll lock on me.
00:04:19Jack's never done that before.
00:04:21If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:27We're over.
00:04:29Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:31I've got just the plan.
00:04:40Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:43How am I going to find her again?
00:04:59You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:01You out of your mind?
00:05:02Vivian and I are done.
00:05:04Never again.
00:05:05She's just business now.
00:05:08Very well, sir.
00:05:10Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:13I'll find another wife.
00:05:14I'm afraid not.
00:05:16But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:19You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:25I know, I know.
00:05:26And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.
00:05:30The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:33And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.
00:05:39Especially your wife.
00:05:41Or I lose everything.
00:05:43Everything.
00:05:43Don't complain about things.
00:05:55I don't complain.
00:05:56I don't.
00:05:57All I'm saying is, you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:01I am living in the real world.
00:06:08Really?
00:06:09Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:12Creative differences.
00:06:15There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:19Lily.
00:06:21You've got to open up your own place.
00:06:23You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:25So you've got to show the world what you've got.
00:06:28Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:31But without yours, we're never going to be able to afford Mom's operation.
00:06:36Yeah, it'll be all my fault.
00:06:39Lily.
00:06:42There is an opening at my office.
00:06:45Seriously?
00:06:46It's stable.
00:06:48Health insurance.
00:06:49401k.
00:06:50I'd rather die.
00:06:51You'd rather be broke.
00:06:52No, I'd rather...
00:06:53How can you help Mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:03Fine, yeah.
00:07:10You're right.
00:07:11Let's do it.
00:07:12Let's do it.
00:07:14Hi.
00:07:38Name?
00:07:42Lily Dunning.
00:07:43Can I help you?
00:07:45Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:47My sister's Megan.
00:07:48She works here.
00:07:50Last place of employment?
00:07:52Chez Francois.
00:07:54A restaurant?
00:07:55Yes, I'm a chef.
00:07:57My passion's cooking, so I...
00:07:59And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:01No.
00:08:03No, of course not.
00:08:05And why do you think someone like you could work here?
00:08:10Um, I just need a job.
00:08:13Sorry, I'm...
00:08:14Thanks, we'll let you know, okay?
00:08:18You can go now.
00:08:20Bye-bye.
00:08:20Screw this.
00:08:33Fuck.
00:08:43What are you looking at?
00:08:50I'm sorry, Mom.
00:08:54I've tried everything, and I've let you down.
00:08:56You.
00:08:59Me.
00:09:03You dropped something.
00:09:06How did you?
00:09:10What are you doing here?
00:09:12I have a proposition for you.
00:09:15Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:19Well, hold on, just hear me out.
00:09:21I heard you get fired.
00:09:23I know you don't have any money.
00:09:26Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.
00:09:28I'm doing fine, thank you.
00:09:31Really?
00:09:34What if I told you this proposition could solve all your problems?
00:09:39Really?
00:09:41Solve all my problems?
00:09:43I've got a lot of problems.
00:09:45What if I told you I need a wife?
00:09:47I tell you that there are apps for that.
00:09:49For one year.
00:09:50Classy.
00:09:51Look, listen.
00:09:53I have a very important business deal.
00:09:55With some very important people involved.
00:09:57And they need to see stability.
00:10:00Okay, so find someone stable.
00:10:02Well, that's just it.
00:10:04I need someone who won't fall in love with me.
00:10:06Someone who will just walk away after the year.
00:10:09And you seem uniquely qualified.
00:10:13What, you think I'm good at walking away?
00:10:14Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:23Well, anything you want.
00:10:24Money.
00:10:25Place to live.
00:10:27Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:30Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:31Wow.
00:10:41Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:47It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:10:48You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:02My own wing?
00:11:03Complete privacy.
00:11:05But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:07Play the happy wife.
00:11:08This is, um, specific.
00:11:35I like clarity.
00:11:35I like clarity.
00:11:38Wife agrees to perform.
00:11:48Hmm.
00:11:50Very specific.
00:11:54Is there a problem?
00:11:56Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:01What's going on here?
00:12:06No.
00:12:08I'm saying yes.
00:12:23To everything.
00:12:24Do you, Jack Thorne?
00:12:42This is insane.
00:12:43Shut up, boy.
00:12:45Take Lily Dunning to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:49This is fucking nice.
00:12:50Shut the fuck up.
00:12:51I do.
00:12:56I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:12:59I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:12:59I'm cheers.
00:13:09I'm kidding.
00:13:10I won't.
00:13:11I'm sorry.
00:13:17I don't know.
00:13:18I'll see you now.
00:13:21Since she's in love.
00:13:22I'm sorry.
00:13:23I'm sorry.
00:13:24I'll call you toi.
00:13:25檄 ап�.
00:13:25I'm-
00:13:25I just wanna bring Бы.
00:13:26This marriage is, it's just a contract.
00:13:47Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
00:14:08Good night, husband.
00:14:14And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of an evening.
00:14:25In the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:38And we have the West Wing Library and the East Wing Pool.
00:14:45How do you find anything in here?
00:14:48One of deaths, madam.
00:14:51And this room is the...
00:15:02Oh dear.
00:15:04Would you excuse me?
00:15:07Of course.
00:15:08Of course.
00:15:09Apologies.
00:15:38What are you doing here?
00:16:06Oh my gosh.
00:16:08Bravo.
00:16:15This is...
00:16:17a lot.
00:16:19The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions,
00:16:22including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:25I can't accept this.
00:16:27You can, and you will.
00:16:29Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:33You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:38Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:40Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:55Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:04Hi.
00:17:05And then I said, do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:12I don't need a knife.
00:17:13I need a chainsaw.
00:17:14Okay.
00:17:15Jackie, there you are.
00:17:19Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:21We simply must celebrate.
00:17:23Oh, I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:27That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
00:17:32I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:40My God.
00:17:41This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:43I'm sorry, but I didn't, I didn't even do anything.
00:17:47Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:49Wagstaff Training School?
00:17:51Vivian.
00:17:54Oh, that was it.
00:17:55She was actually a waitress.
00:17:57Or, I don't remember, whatever it was.
00:18:01Excuse me.
00:18:04So, when she got to the house,
00:18:06watch out for the ex.
00:18:13As I was saying.
00:18:39You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:43I was going to be a little bit more.
00:18:44And I'm going to go first.
00:18:45I'm going to go first.
00:18:46I'm going to go first.
00:18:47And I'm going to go first.
00:18:48I'm going to go first.
00:19:06Wow.
00:19:07Good?
00:19:08Surprisingly good.
00:19:10Surprisingly good.
00:19:11good. Well, payment for spying. Payment accepted. You know, the house this grand, I would expect
00:19:23a kitchen to match. I had to make do. No, I never cook. It's a shame.
00:19:41You can go now.
00:19:58You, um, wanted to see me. Time for your first lesson. My what?
00:20:05Self-defense. Never know when you might need it. I don't know if that's really. Number one. Stance.
00:20:18Move the feet apart. Bend this knee. Yep. Then move this foot forward. Okay? Okay. Now,
00:20:28hands up. Protect the face. Okay. Now, like this. Oh, my God. I'm not really good at this.
00:20:45We're just getting started. Oh. Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:51Rule number one. Stance. Right?
00:20:58Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:28I have a business expense. Business expense. These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:40The best knives for the best chef?
00:21:44Why are you doing this? The contract. No. The real reason. Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:21:53Maybe. You know, that, um, this doesn't change anything.
00:22:10Of course not.
00:22:10This is for your mother.
00:22:22This, uh, no, this, this is too much.
00:22:25This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:28They second it.
00:22:29I think that's literally the nicest thing a male has ever done for me.
00:22:37What's the catch?
00:22:38We've got a problem.
00:22:51Morning to you, too.
00:22:53So, the inheritance release date is set, but if anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:22:57No one's gonna find out.
00:22:59Oh, really?
00:23:00Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:23:02It's under control.
00:23:03Is it?
00:23:07It seems like you're letting your feelings control your...
00:23:10I said it's handled.
00:23:22Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:24This Morrison deal...
00:23:26is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:28Don't tell me you're actually a fool.
00:23:32Get out.
00:23:33It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:33It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:34It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:35It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:36It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:37It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:38It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:39It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:40It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:41It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:42It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:43It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:44It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:45It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:46It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:47It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:48It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:49It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:50It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:51It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:52It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:53It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:25:54Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:25:58Why don't you go back to like chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:26:03So basically, you know, the company way that we have our investments holding in.
00:26:06I had a business meeting with Hannah today, and she has basically advised me to say that our investments are not making any profit.
00:26:13The company itself isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:15So my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:25Why the whirlwind romance you've got there?
00:26:37What's the catch?
00:26:39There's always a catch.
00:26:41Excuse me, I...
00:26:43Rebecca Chen.
00:26:44Social pages.
00:26:45Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:49This must be some kind of record.
00:26:52Though lately I've been more interested in business deals.
00:26:56Hmm.
00:26:56What would you say?
00:26:59Love at first sight or something more contractual?
00:27:04You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:27:06Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:13We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:15I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:26The Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.
00:27:29Oh, great.
00:27:30Another dinner.
00:27:31It's important.
00:27:32They're all important.
00:27:33It's a part of the deal.
00:27:36They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:38You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:41Did I?
00:27:45At least Vivian will be there to talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:52Okay, whatever.
00:28:04Nice.
00:28:06Real mature.
00:28:09No, don't.
00:28:13Okay.
00:28:15Okay, fine.
00:28:16You want to go?
00:28:17Nope.
00:28:20No, no.
00:28:21Okay, can we?
00:28:26Yeah?
00:28:27Yeah?
00:28:28No, no, no, no.
00:28:28No, no, no, no.
00:28:30Let go.
00:28:31No.
00:28:31No.
00:28:32No.
00:28:32No.
00:28:33No.
00:28:35Ow.
00:28:35Ow.
00:28:36Oh.
00:28:36Oh.

00:43:06She says it's urgent.
00:43:07Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there.
00:43:11Final deal points.
00:43:12Jess leaving in 30.
00:43:13I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs.
00:43:18Lily, wait.
00:43:21Just go.
00:43:37Lily, I can explain.
00:43:57Can you?
00:43:58No.
00:44:01Guess the business can't wait.
00:44:03This whole thing is...
00:44:14Let me get this straight.
00:44:16You sleep with him and then you find a note from his ex.
00:44:19That's complicated.
00:44:21When isn't it with you?
00:44:23Look, maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little...
00:44:27What? A mistake?
00:44:28That you were right?
00:44:30Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:31No, I want you to be happy.
00:44:35And are you?
00:44:37I don't know what I am anymore.
00:44:40I mean, he paid for mom's operation, so that's cool, but I...
00:44:43I know.
00:44:44And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for...
00:44:48Lily?
00:44:54Stand back.
00:44:55What?
00:44:55Stand back, Megan.
00:44:56Keep it, keep it, keep it, keep it.
00:45:02What?
00:45:03Hey!
00:45:05No!
00:45:05Oh!
00:45:07Oh!
00:45:07Get it out!
00:45:08Get out, motherfucker!
00:45:09Fucker!
00:45:10What?
00:45:10Oh my god!
00:45:12Fuck you!
00:45:14Come on, let's go.
00:45:21What was that?
00:45:23Lessons with Jack.
00:45:24Jack taught you that?
00:45:26Yeah.
00:45:27Yeah.
00:45:28Dude's getting better by a minute!
00:45:30I know.
00:45:31Oh, man.
00:45:35You okay?
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:38God, things are supposed to be so simple.
00:45:42Now what?
00:45:43Oh.
00:45:44I don't even know what's real anymore.
00:45:47Oh, honey.
00:45:48I'm kidding.
00:45:48I'm kidding.
00:45:48I'm kidding.
00:45:48I'm kidding.
00:45:50I'm kidding.
00:45:52I'm kidding.
00:45:53I'm kidding.
00:45:54I'm kidding.
00:45:55I'm kidding.
00:45:55I'm kidding.
00:45:56He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:18He always keeps the ledger on his desk.
00:46:18Lauren, I've known you since college.
00:46:33How could you?
00:46:34I'll have it in mind.
00:46:41Almost a year.
00:46:44I barely knew that's anymore.
00:46:46Oh, wait, I need to tell you something.
00:46:59I'm all ears.
00:47:01It's about the deal.
00:47:03It's about Warren, Vivian.
00:47:05Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
00:47:08Oh, great.
00:47:09I don't press.
00:47:09I don't press.
00:47:21These aren't real.
00:47:22Real?
00:47:23Oh, my sisters say they are very real.
00:47:25Story runs in 48 hours.
00:47:28Only this is what I was just about to tell you.
00:47:30I've been set up.
00:47:33Care to comment, Mrs. Thorne?
00:47:35You know, it's funny.
00:47:38I...
00:47:38For a minute, I really believed.
00:47:42Louie, wait.
00:47:45They're not real.
00:47:48Take a talk, Mr. Thorne.
00:47:49Louie, wait.
00:48:03They're not real.
00:48:05You have to believe me.
00:48:06Like, I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal.
00:48:10Like, I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague.
00:48:15Like, I believed that last night actually meant something.
00:48:18It did.
00:48:20Louie, what happened between us was...
00:48:21The transaction.
00:48:24That's all any of this ever was.
00:48:26That's not true.
00:48:28And you know it.
00:48:29Do I?
00:48:32Because from where I'm standing, you got everything that you wanted.
00:48:36You got a wife when you needed one.
00:48:38And a body when you wanted one.
00:48:40Louie, that's not it.
00:48:41Tell me I'm wrong.
00:48:43Tell me that there's not something more going on here.
00:48:45With the business deal and your inheritance.
00:48:48Anything more to explain.
00:48:57That's what I thought.
00:49:02You're a terrible person.
00:49:03If you leave now, you violate the contract.
00:49:08You get nothing.
00:49:10I don't care.
00:49:14I never cared about any of that.
00:49:15Hands up.
00:49:35Protect the face.
00:49:37No, don't.
00:49:39Wow.
00:49:40Guel?
00:49:42Nope.
00:49:51Warren?
00:49:52Finally.
00:49:52Look.
00:49:53About the Morrison deal.
00:49:55It's off.
00:49:56What do you mean it's off?
00:49:57All of it.
00:49:59The deal.
00:50:00The inheritance.
00:50:00I don't want any of it.
00:50:02Have you lost your freaking mind?
00:50:03I mean, everything that we've worked for.
00:50:05Actually, I think I've found it.
00:50:30You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:45Watch me.
00:50:46Hey, what happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:51:03The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:51:06She played.
00:51:07Did she?
00:51:09If that's Jack, I'm sure that's just my octogenarian neighbor who's a total drama queen.
00:51:18Watch.
00:51:19Gladys?
00:51:22Gladys, is that you?
00:51:24Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:32Sir, coffee.
00:51:35I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:39You might want to see this.
00:51:45What am I looking at here?
00:51:46Wire transfers, shell companies, all leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:52More.
00:51:54I knew it.
00:51:55You might want to see these too, sir.
00:51:56They'll illuminate things even more.
00:52:02Son of a bitch.
00:52:03He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:52:05He sure is.
00:52:07All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:52:11Although I suspect Miss Chase's interests are not purely financial.
00:52:28Sir?
00:52:29They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:30Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:34Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:36Every meeting, every call.
00:52:37Already compiled, sir.
00:52:38I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:39Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:42Some things are worth more than money.
00:52:43More than money.
00:52:57I'm going back, Megan.
00:52:58by the way, Megan?
00:52:59Megan!
00:53:00Why?
00:53:01Why?
00:53:04That's all my lucky list.
00:53:05I have my money behind her.
00:53:06You're not my luckychef.
00:53:07How long can I go?
00:53:08Megan?
00:53:09Megan?
00:53:10Megan?
00:53:11Megan?
00:53:12Megan?
00:53:13Megan?
00:53:14Megan?
00:53:17Megan?
00:53:18Megan?
00:53:20Megan?
00:53:21Megan?
00:53:22Megan?
00:53:23Megan?
00:53:24Megan?
00:53:25Megan?
00:53:26Megan?
00:53:27I can get us out of this.
00:53:52I can do this.
00:53:53I can do this.
00:53:54Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak.
00:54:00And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:54:03If anything happens to her, that's up to you.
00:54:07Sign the papers.
00:54:10And this all goes away.
00:54:13Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away.
00:54:20Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:54:23Don't they?
00:54:24I always knew you were soft.
00:54:26But this?
00:54:28Throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef.
00:54:31He's not throwing it away.
00:54:33He's giving it to us.
00:54:36All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:40You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:43Always have.
00:54:43I think we might need to send a little message.
00:54:51Wait.
00:54:52Let me go, you psycho.
00:55:13Let me go.
00:55:14Remember your training.
00:55:21Protect your face.
00:55:26Megan!
00:55:27Lenny!
00:55:31Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:34Come on.
00:55:34Come on.
00:55:36Come on.
00:55:37Of course it's a trap.
00:55:44The question is, what are you going to do about it?
00:55:49Lenny!
00:55:50I've traced the video feed to the Starlight Motel, sir.
00:55:56Room 115.
00:55:57Lauren's called the police.
00:55:59Already done.
00:56:00But, sir, they're at least 20 minutes out.
00:56:02She doesn't have 20 minutes.
00:56:03No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:56:12Lauren, she's there.
00:56:14Louie's there.
00:56:19Hold on, Louie.
00:56:20Hold on.
00:56:21Hold on.
00:56:24Hold on.
00:56:25Leave her alone.
00:56:35Shut up.
00:56:37Get away from my wife.
00:56:39Well, well.
00:56:41A hero arrives.
00:56:44Don't do it, Jackie boy.
00:56:48I'm not some damsel in distress.
00:56:51That's my girl.
00:56:52Oh, I guess it is real love, huh?
00:57:13That's for my sister.
00:57:15You son of a bitch.
00:57:16No.
00:57:19No.
00:57:22Louie.
00:57:23Not everything.
00:57:25The photos.
00:57:26Vivian.
00:57:27Now?
00:57:28Seriously?
00:57:29I love you.
00:57:31Not for any inheritance.
00:57:34Not for any deal.
00:57:35Just you.
00:57:40I know.
00:57:40You.
00:57:50Stay right there.
00:57:52Come on.
00:57:52Cuff it.
00:58:04What the hell?
00:58:08This isn't...
00:58:09Possible.
00:58:09And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:58:15Sign the papers.
00:58:16Deepfakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:19That proves nothing.
00:58:20I think it might prove something.
00:58:22Yeah, and those photos that you planted.
00:58:24Maybe use better AI next time.
00:58:26You can't.
00:58:27Yes, they can.
00:58:29And you two are under arrest.
00:58:32No.
00:58:33You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:34The inheritance, they're nothing.
00:58:36Compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:38You could have had it all, Jack.
00:58:39I do.
00:58:49Yes, thank you.
00:58:51Thanks.
00:58:56Now that's a story.
00:58:57Here to twist the knife.
00:59:03Actually, I'm here to get it right.
00:59:07Where did you...
00:59:08Lawrence sends his regards.
00:59:11Seems your butler is a little armchair investigative journalist.
00:59:15So, no scandal piece?
00:59:17Oh, there's definitely a scam.
00:59:20But, not the one they wanted me to bite on.
00:59:26That's actually accurate.
00:59:28I'm a reporter.
00:59:30Truth is kind of my thing.
00:59:32Though I must admit, I didn't see the secret martial arts skills coming.
00:59:37Yeah, neither did they.
00:59:39Story runs tomorrow.
00:59:42Catch you on the next scandal.
00:59:43Well, it'll be about the inheritance.
00:59:52You really think that I care about any of that now?
00:59:59Just take me home.
01:00:02Yes, dear.
01:00:03Sun's coming, huh?
01:00:13Must be a new record.
01:00:16It is for me.
01:00:19Any regrets?
01:00:21Only one.
01:00:24That didn't get your chef special sooner.
01:00:26Could have saved us a lot.
01:00:27Yeah.
01:00:29Wow.
01:00:33Excuse me, sir.
01:00:34Miss Chen's article is out.
01:00:36How bad is it?
01:00:38Well, actually, sir, you might want to see it.
01:00:40She's included the last bit you wanted to put in.
01:00:43Jack Thorne announced plans.
01:00:57In a shocking turn of events, tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans to transform
01:01:02his inherited fortune into the city's largest culinary grant program.
01:01:07Surprised?
01:01:08But your inheritance is gone.
01:01:14Well, the inheritance, yeah.
01:01:16But turns out selling a tech company can be quite profitable.
01:01:19You sold the company?
01:01:21Turns out some things are worth more than money.
01:01:31I'm sorry.
01:01:32I don't know.
01:01:38Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:40Keep them thin, okay?
01:01:41Just like that.
01:01:57This looks good on you.
01:02:00And who said there's no such thing as a happily ever after?
01:02:04Suckers.
01:02:05Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:02:08It depends.
01:02:10Did my wife make it?
01:02:11The very same wife that you married for business?
01:02:14Best business decision I ever made.
01:02:22Hang on.
01:02:30Voila.
01:02:31I'm the best chef in town.
01:02:38You're only saying that because you're contractually obligated.
01:02:43I think that contract expired.
01:02:46Good thing I signed a new one.
01:02:54We are gathered here today.
01:02:56No more business deals this time.
01:02:57Just love.
01:02:59Just love.
01:03:00Good.
01:03:01Because I have some terms of my own.
01:03:05First, you have to eat everything I cook.
01:03:09Done.
01:03:11Second, no more locked rooms.
01:03:15Without me in it.
01:03:16Third, you have to meet it this time.
01:03:24I met it the first time.
01:03:26Just didn't know you.
01:03:29The rings?
01:03:30It's actually...
01:03:31It's like...
01:03:37Is that...
01:03:37Something old.
01:03:39Something new.
01:03:40Something borrowed.
01:03:42Something...
01:03:44Not one.
01:03:45For better or worse.
01:03:55For real this time.
01:03:58You may kiss the bride.
01:03:59So...
01:04:16Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:04:20What are you...
01:04:21Lauren, tell me back.
01:04:24Mrs. Thorne, are you trying to negotiate new business terms?
01:04:34I don't know.
01:04:36Mr. Thorne.
01:04:39Can you handle them?
01:04:41I thought this wasn't about business anymore.
01:04:45How about you just shut up and kiss your wife?
01:04:48I don't know.
01:04:49Ah!
