00:00:00Lights!

00:00:08Win a date with the stunning Emma Davis and support a good cause.
00:00:12I hope this is worth it. I need the cash for Gwen's hospital bills.
00:00:16The bidding starts at $5,000.
00:00:19Get that date. Losing is not an option.
00:00:25You got it, boss.
00:00:30$10,000. $15,000.
00:00:32I feel like a piece of meat on a rack.
00:00:36$25,000.
00:00:37I'll show you a good time, baby.
00:00:43Folks, we've got a staggering $25,000.
00:00:47Going once, going twice.
00:00:51$50,000.
00:00:51$50,000.
00:01:00Damn, he's sexy.
00:01:04Wait, he kind of looks familiar.
00:01:07But from where?
00:01:08$50,000? That's unheard of.
00:01:11$60,000.
00:01:13Shit.
00:01:14$75,000.
00:01:16$90,000!
00:01:19Going once?
00:01:21Going twice?
00:01:22Please, please come to my rescue.
00:01:29Going once?
00:01:31Going twice?
00:01:32$500,000.
00:01:37Sold to Bitter69!
00:01:47Dina?
00:01:49Right now?
00:01:50Hard time like the present.
00:01:55Typical Jake.
00:01:58What do you get, boss?
00:01:59You useless idiot!
00:02:02You're fired.
00:02:06So was that your first choice, or were the best of the worst?
00:02:11The lesser of two evils, for sure.
00:02:15Wow.
00:02:16Here I was hoping you'd say I was your hero.
00:02:18Well, you did manage to save me from the creep-o.
00:02:32What do you say will you finish us off with a nightcap in my place?
00:02:36A one-night stand?
00:02:37Am I that kind of woman?
00:02:40I'm always working or taking care of my sister.
00:02:44Maybe I should let loose for once.
00:02:46Lead the way, hero.
00:03:00You move fast.
00:03:01Throw.
00:03:02I'm always working.
00:03:24Throw.
00:03:25I have to go.
00:03:53You gotta be kidding me.
00:03:55I'm sorry I interrupted your date.
00:04:03I only went for you.
00:04:05Besides, it was paid.
00:04:06Total escort vibes.
00:04:08Whatever.
00:04:09This is the first guy you've gone home with in years.
00:04:14Time to clear up those cobwebs, Em.
00:04:17Miss Davis.
00:04:19So sorry to interrupt, but your payment is due next week?
00:04:22Yes.
00:04:23I just started a new job, so I will have HR give me an advance.
00:04:27Promise.
00:04:31I hate that you're under all this stress because of me.
00:04:34It's not your fault.
00:04:35Harrison is the one who cleaned out my savings and stole our inheritance.
00:04:39I hope he rots in hell.
00:04:43Mm-hmm.
00:04:43Me too.
00:04:47Um, since when are you so passionate about curing heart disease?
00:04:51I might have donated more than I expected to.
00:04:54But the date I want?
00:04:56Straight down.
00:04:57Set.
00:04:59She took off running when things got hot.
00:05:00Well, yeah, the playboy, Jake Morrison, finally losing your touch.
00:05:05Please.
00:05:06My touch is just fine.
00:05:08I wish he had a run.
00:05:10I can't stop thinking about her.
00:05:11Uh, you're needed in the boardroom.
00:05:16Of course I am.
00:05:16Come on, Pete.
00:05:27It's not that bad.
00:05:28Not that bad.
00:05:33This is the third scandal of the month, Jake.
00:05:36Count them.
00:05:37Three.
00:05:38And the month's not even over yet.
00:05:40How are we supposed to take this commitment-focused dating app public
00:05:46when you're acting like some rap boy gigolo on spring break in Fort Lauderdale, Florida?
00:05:54You guys are overreacting.
00:05:57Oh, are we?
00:05:58We're America's number one dating app, Jake.
00:06:01We're about commitment.
00:06:03Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.
00:06:05Jake, every time your face gets plastered on some tabloid,
00:06:10our stocks are going to drop.
00:06:13You have to step down as CEO.
00:06:16Excuse me?
00:06:18I've been here since my father built this thing.
00:06:20I'm not going to just walk away.
00:06:22Oh, no, Jake.
00:06:24You have to step down.
00:06:25Or the board is going to vote you out.
00:06:29Still upset that that chose me.
00:06:30Take the reins instead of you.
00:06:32Jake.
00:06:34If you cared about this company,
00:06:36you would not tarnish your father's legacy for some lay.
00:06:40I'll go celibate.
00:06:47I'm sorry.
00:06:48I'm sorry.
00:06:50You're what?
00:06:51You heard me.
00:06:54No woman.
00:06:56No dating.
00:06:57No scandals.
00:06:59I'll prove that I'm the right man to lead this company.
00:07:02Okay, wait a minute.
00:07:04You, Jake Morrison, celibate?
00:07:09This I'd love to see.
00:07:11Let's set up a timeline here.
00:07:14Let's say 40 full days, complete celibacy.
00:07:18No problem.
00:07:18All right, wait, wait.
00:07:20But if you fail,
00:07:23you will accompany half a billion dollars
00:07:25and I take over CEO.
00:07:27After your voluntary resignation,
00:07:30you got a deal.
00:07:32Welcome to Morrison Enterprises, Ms. Davis.
00:07:35We're counting on you to keep our CEO in top form
00:07:38before the IPO.
00:07:39The CEO?
00:07:40What do you mean?
00:07:41He's got a reputation.
00:07:45You've got to keep him from tanking the company
00:07:47before it goes public.
00:07:48Don't worry.
00:07:50I won't let you down.
00:07:52Well, okay.
00:07:54Well, then I guess the bet is on.
00:07:5640 days.
00:07:57No women.
00:07:58No dating.
00:07:59No scandals.
00:08:01And if you fail,
00:08:03Clyde here takes over as CEO.
00:08:05I won't fail.
00:08:08Ah, our new chief of staff?
00:08:11You.
00:08:12You.
00:08:14Now I know why he looks so damn familiar.
00:08:17He's that womanizing CEO
00:08:18and all the tabloids.
00:08:20I mean,
00:08:21I'm Emma Davis,
00:08:24your new chief of staff.
00:08:28Welcome to Morrison Enterprises.
00:08:29So,
00:08:39about the other night,
00:08:43maybe this is fate's way of giving us a second chance.
00:08:48This company has a very clear no dating policy.
00:08:58And as your boss,
00:09:00I expect you to follow it.
00:09:02No, it doesn't.
00:09:03I read the employee handbook.
00:09:07But who said anything about dating?
00:09:09I'm talking about unfinished business.
00:09:14This stupid bet.
00:09:16I can't do a thing.
00:09:17You rejected.
00:09:18You rejected me, remember?
00:09:19I have a family emergency.
00:09:23But now,
00:09:25you
00:09:25are my main priority.
00:09:32And
00:09:33from the looks of things,
00:09:35we're on the same page.
00:09:37I, I, I, I have a meeting.
00:09:39I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
00:10:09I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
00:10:40Nobody's gonna find out.
00:10:45Emma.
00:10:50I already told you.
00:10:52I don't mix business with pleasure.
00:10:54Except that's literally what you're in the news for doing.
00:11:00Is it...
00:11:05Is it me?
00:11:10Looks like you're already losing that bet, kid.
00:11:20Let me get this straight.
00:11:22Your new boss, who you have to spend every day with, is the same billionaire hottie who bid on you at the charity auction?
00:11:31One and the same.
00:11:32That's crazy. The universe is literally handing you a ridiculously hot billionaire on a silver platter.
00:11:41No. Except he's not interested. I think he just wanted to tax right off.
00:11:46Since when have you been one to back down from a challenge?
00:11:52Seducing my boss is not some challenge, Gwen.
00:11:55But what a sweet, fun challenge it would be.
00:11:59You're supposed to be on my side.
00:12:02I am! I'm on the side that my super smart, super funny, and super hot sister deserves to have some fun!
00:12:10Super hot billionaire!
00:12:13You know what? I am glad you're feeling better.
00:12:15I'm serious. Don't let that asshole Harrison ruin this for you, Em.
00:12:21You're allowed to want things.
00:12:24Fine.
00:12:26Initiate phase one of operation.
00:12:29Seduce my boss.
00:12:30I've never seen your faces before, first time.
00:12:45I've missed you.
00:12:47Why don't we get out of here? I can do the trick that you like.
00:12:50How could I forget?
00:12:51Don't forget.
00:12:56Sorry sweetheart.
00:12:58Not tonight.
00:13:15I'm not. I'm Emma.
00:13:17Stop!
00:13:20Right.
00:13:22Time to go.
00:13:23Okay.
00:13:27You're leaving too long as next to her.
00:13:31You're no fun. You know that?
00:13:34You won't thank me when you wake up.
00:13:36You are trying to get me alone.
00:13:39Come on.
00:13:40I don't know.
00:13:41Shh, shh, shh.
00:13:45I won't tell.
00:14:00You think of me as some charity case, don't you?
00:14:05No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:14:07Why would you bet on me if you didn't even find me attractive?
00:14:13That's not it.
00:14:15Fine.
00:14:16Leave me alone.
00:14:22I know where I live.
00:14:24I know.
00:14:28Stay out.
00:14:37Why?
00:14:38Am I the one person Jake Morrison won't be?
00:14:41Why am I the one person Jake Morrison won't be?
00:14:44Why am I humiliating myself for him?
00:14:46I know.
00:14:47What have I done?
00:14:52I'm really eating myself for him.
00:14:570
00:15:114
00:15:16Okay, okay, don't let him get in your head.
00:15:26Do not let him win.
00:15:32Shit.
00:15:37And I guess now I just have to deal with it all on my own.
00:15:42I never thought Jake would turn his back on me.
00:15:46And our baby.
00:15:52Baby?
00:15:54Moon, this is a disaster.
00:15:57You knocked up your old secretary.
00:16:00And we're just a few weeks from going public.
00:16:02Emma, you fix this now.
00:16:07Cassidy's lying.
00:16:09I haven't touched her in years.
00:16:11If what you say is true.
00:16:13It's true.
00:16:14I know better than knock anyone out.
00:16:17Then we'll prove it.
00:16:22Oh!
00:16:23Hey, Jake.
00:16:24Whatever game you're playing, I'm not interested.
00:16:27Oh, you will be.
00:16:29Eventually.
00:16:30You'll be begging me not to bleed your company dry.
00:16:34Tick-tock, Jakey.
00:16:37Hello.
00:16:37Voila.
00:16:38I had to swing by for work.
00:16:49Thought I'd surprise ya.
00:16:50Something about a certain hot billionaire?
00:16:53Nope.
00:16:54Operation Seduce My Boss is done.
00:16:57Finished.
00:16:58In you go.
00:17:00Guys like Jake love a challenge.
00:17:03Make him chase you.
00:17:05Remember, you're the prize M.
00:17:07I cashed in a favor with a doctor friend to get Cassidy's file.
00:17:17She is not, nor has she ever been, pregnant.
00:17:21Jake is innocent.
00:17:22Well, thank you, Emma, for your quick resolution.
00:17:26We'll issue a statement at once.
00:17:29If I ever said I saw a more beautiful woman, I'd be lying.
00:17:32Yeah.
00:17:33Here.
00:17:36You've earned this.
00:17:38I've never seen a PR nightmare handle so well so fast.
00:17:42I can learn a thing or two from you.
00:17:45Just doing my job.
00:17:49Another guy in need of your exceptional PR skills?
00:17:52Excuse me?
00:17:54Emma's excellent at her job, but unfortunately got her occupied for the next few months.
00:17:59I didn't realize you two were...
00:18:01We're not.
00:18:02We are.
00:18:05If you'll excuse me.
00:18:10Jealous much?
00:18:13I'm just trying to protect your professional reputation.
00:18:16Oh, is that so?
00:18:17I was just taking a page out of the Jake Morrison handbook.
00:18:22I've turned your leaf.
00:18:24I've noticed that Jake Morrison I heard about had charm, charisma, stamina.
00:18:32This Jake Morrison.
00:18:33I've noticed that Jake Morrison, kind of a four.
00:18:37I, uh...
00:18:39I can't resist her if I spend the night.
00:19:04This stupid bet.
00:19:06That's not a good idea.
00:19:07I don't mean like that.
00:19:11I just thought it would give us a chance to work on the IPO presentation.
00:19:15And hopefully keep Harrison away.
00:19:18Something spooking her.
00:19:20Okay.
00:19:21I'll come by.
00:19:22But I can't say all night.
00:19:24Optics, you know?
00:19:25I get it.
00:19:27Already done?
00:19:29Mm-hmm.
00:19:31Looks like we finished at the same time.
00:19:33Brilliant at PR and presentation, huh?
00:19:36And now I can focus on keeping you on the straight and narrow.
00:19:43I just hope this IPO goes well.
00:19:45For my dad's sake.
00:19:46Your dad?
00:19:47He started this company when my mom died.
00:19:55She was a soulmate, and he wanted the whole world to discover the type of love he had.
00:20:00How romantic.
00:20:02Yeah.
00:20:03Looks like the apple fell pretty far from the tree, huh?
00:20:06In one ways than one.
00:20:08Jake, I was kidding.
00:20:10Hey, Slade.
00:20:11How'd you go?
00:20:11There's room on the couch.
00:20:14You can stay.
00:20:15I gotta get on.
00:20:18I'll see you at the office, huh?
00:20:28Shit.
00:20:30Great.
00:20:31Guess I'm stuck here.
00:20:41Jake, what the hell?
00:20:48I'm sorry.
00:20:48I'm sorry.
00:20:49I thought you left.
00:20:51I did.
00:20:52But the paps are on the hunt.
00:20:54So it looks like you get your wish, princess.
00:20:55I'm sleeping over.
00:20:56He came back for me.
00:20:59To hell with playing hard to get.
00:21:00Operation Seduce Boss is back on.
00:21:05So you got blankets or...
00:21:08Or...
00:21:09You could...
00:21:13Sleep with me.
00:21:18We can't, Emma.
00:21:19Why not?
00:21:21No one would know.
00:21:22I'm pretty sure the paps outside would know.
00:21:24You're in here.
00:21:25So they're already assuming that you're doing it.
00:21:27So why not just do it?
00:21:29Of course, this perfectly sexy,
00:21:32wildly intelligent,
00:21:33utterly gorgeous woman comes along.
00:21:35Practically throwing herself at me
00:21:36when I can't do a fucking thing.
00:21:38I'll take...
00:21:39I'll take the couch.
00:21:40I'll...
00:21:40I'll take...
00:21:41I'll take the couch.
00:21:43You're lost, Morrison.
00:21:52Thanks.
00:21:54If you want these,
00:21:56you have to pay the Emma tax.
00:21:58Which is what exactly?
00:22:00A goodnight kiss.
00:22:01Thanks for the blankets.
00:22:27Thanks for all that, huh?
00:22:33Hmm?
00:22:37Goodnight.
00:22:40This woman will be the death of me.
00:22:51What?
00:22:51What the?
00:23:03It's creeping up on your overnight guests, you think?
00:23:05Only when they're half naked doing sit-ups in my living room.
00:23:08My mistake.
00:23:10Don't stop on my account.
00:23:12I wasn't planning to.
00:23:13So I was thinking that we should interview board members
00:23:19for the mission and vision of the company, for the IPO.
00:23:23Huh?
00:23:24What?
00:23:26Oh my God!
00:23:31Okay.
00:23:32That's enough work out for today.
00:23:34I really wasn't trying to...
00:23:36Oh, all good.
00:23:38Let me just explain.
00:23:38I'm just gonna go cool off with a cold shower.
00:23:43Very cold.
00:23:53Well, what do we have here?
00:23:56The CEO and the Chief of Staff arriving together.
00:24:00A little warm and cardio, Jake?
00:24:02You got a wild imagination, Uncle.
00:24:04It wouldn't be the first time you slept with an employee.
00:24:06Only this time, I've got my eye on a bet.
00:24:10What bet?
00:24:11It's nothing.
00:24:13Just some stupid inside joke my uncle won't let die.
00:24:16Nope, that's me.
00:24:17Oh, well.
00:24:19Careful, nephew.
00:24:20Forty days.
00:24:21Awfully long time.
00:24:23Okay, what's going on?
00:24:24Honestly, it's nothing.
00:24:26Are you sure?
00:24:37There's nothing there.
00:24:38No one went into your office, and there weren't any suspicious people on any of the hallway cams.
00:24:43It's like that rose just... appeared.
00:24:46That's impossible.
00:24:47Okay, thank you anyway.
00:25:00Leaving already?
00:25:02I just need to get home.
00:25:06Come on.
00:25:08Let me take you.
00:25:09Jake, I just need some space.
00:25:11I'll be fine.
00:25:12Okay.
00:25:12Listen.
00:25:25What are you doing here?
00:25:27Can't a guy come to see his girl?
00:25:31I'm not your girl anymore, Harrison.
00:25:34Really?
00:25:36Not even a thank you for the flower.
00:25:42Now, did you?
00:25:49Stay away from me, Harrison.
00:25:52What?
00:25:53You have your rich little boy toy teach me a lesson?
00:25:58Newsflash, sweetheart.
00:25:59Newsflash, sweetheart.
00:25:59You don't know how fast I can take everything from you.
00:26:16What's that boy's name?
00:26:19Morrison, right?
00:26:21Mr. Big Shot's CEO.
00:26:22I wonder how he'd look with a couple of scars.
00:26:25If you even go near him, I swear, I...
00:26:31I don't want to swear anything.
00:26:35Oh, look at this.
00:26:38You need to leave, now.
00:26:40This is so cute, Emma's little white knight.
00:26:44Listen here, rich boy.
00:26:46Even if I leave, Emma will come crawling back.
00:26:50Good girl.
00:26:51Yes.
00:26:51Just as she always does.
00:26:55If you ever come near him again, I'll make sure you're a friend.
00:27:06You don't have what it takes.
00:27:10See you soon, sweetheart.
00:27:22It's okay.
00:27:25It's fine.
00:27:31I didn't want to drag you into this.
00:27:33There's no way in hell I'm going anywhere with that psycho lurk in her.
00:27:37Jake.
00:27:39Let's get you inside, okay?
00:27:42Okay, let's go.
00:27:43Hmm.
00:27:44Oh, my God.
00:27:54Son of a bitch.
00:28:02How did he get in here?
00:28:05Emma, we're calling the cops.
00:28:07No, I've tried that before.
00:28:10It doesn't work.
00:28:13He's smart.
00:28:15Well, you can't stay here.
00:28:16I have to.
00:28:18I can't keep running.
00:28:20I can't let him drive me from my home.
00:28:22This isn't about your pride.
00:28:25It's about your safety.
00:28:27Next time, he's not going to wait for you to be at work.
00:28:29I don't have anywhere else to go.
00:28:31You can come with me.
00:28:32Because you spent one night with me, and now you want me to move in.
00:28:37Glad to see you still have your sense of humor.
00:28:39But no, not that.
00:28:40I'm not even in San Francisco for a work trip.
00:28:42Why don't you join me?
00:28:43What?
00:28:46I'll give you a few days away.
00:28:48That prick won't find you.
00:28:50And I'll hire a cleaning company to clean this place up.
00:28:53Jake, that still feels like running.
00:28:55Emma, anything can happen on this trip.
00:29:00You know how wild I can get.
00:29:05Your damage control is top notch.
00:29:08It's your job to keep me alive.
00:29:11Fine.
00:29:13I'll join you.
00:29:15Great.
00:29:16I'll make a few calls while you pack it back.
00:29:25You said I'd have my own room.
00:29:50It's not that in the world.
00:29:51We've already spent the night together.
00:29:53That's not the same thing.
00:29:54You know it.
00:29:55Trust me.
00:29:56The last thing I want to do is share a bathroom with you and your 10-step skincare routine.
00:30:00Oh, why not?
00:30:02You could learn a thing or two about wrinkle prevention.
00:30:05Oh, please.
00:30:07I glow naturally.
00:30:10Anyways, you should get ready for the dinner meeting with the...
00:30:12How's your sister doing?
00:30:14She didn't shut the fuck up.
00:30:15Jesus, I just don't.
00:30:17Careful, man.
00:30:20I want someone to, uh, catch you.
00:30:23That's cute.
00:30:25Somebody's thrilled about this collaboration.
00:30:39We'll be in touch.
00:30:40Sounds good.
00:30:41Well, we should...
00:30:49If you ever need any, uh, extra service, call me.
00:30:58What was your name?
00:30:59Oh, my God!
00:31:03Babe!
00:31:04He's hitting on you!
00:31:07Jake, what?
00:31:08I know.
00:31:09I know.
00:31:10She's gorgeous.
00:31:11But tonight...
00:31:12On our special...
00:31:15Inter-mercenary night!
00:31:17I am so sorry.
00:31:20I didn't mean...
00:31:22Jake, stop it.
00:31:23You're causing a scene.
00:31:25A scene!
00:31:27A scene!
00:31:28You're out here collecting numbers like they're discount coupons.
00:31:31And you have that task.
00:31:32You see, I'm...
00:31:33I'm so sorry.
00:31:37Please, enjoy your anniversary.
00:31:48I know.
00:31:49I know.
00:31:49I know.
00:31:49Why'd you do that?
00:32:01To save you from a lifetime of cringy pickup lines from that guy.
00:32:05Oh, maybe I wanted to have fun.
00:32:10Maybe I wanted to feel attractive and wanted for once.
00:32:16You know you're attractive.
00:32:18To everyone except you, apparently.
00:32:20What did you just say?
00:32:22Nothing.
00:32:23Wait.
00:32:24You think I don't want you?
00:32:26It was nothing.
00:32:28I'm going to bed.
00:32:30Rock, paper, scissors for bed.
00:32:34After the stunt you pulled tonight, you're sleeping on the floor.
00:32:38Not happening.
00:32:40Hold out your hands.
00:32:41Okay.
00:32:43Let's be adults and share the bed.
00:32:46But with pillows down the middle.
00:32:47Because that's very adult-like.
00:32:53I'm not sorry for being a cock blocker.
00:32:57That's fine.
00:32:58That guy smelled like he showered in cologne anyway.
00:33:01What I don't understand is why you did it.
00:33:06I don't know.
00:33:08Probably because you're too good for him.
00:33:15You're too good for me too, Emma.
00:33:16Move in with me.
00:33:27How much did you have to drink tonight?
00:33:30Barely anything.
00:33:31I wasn't the one the waiter was trying to get drunk.
00:33:34Then you must have hit your head.
00:33:35I'm not moving in with you.
00:33:36Why not?
00:33:40Because we're colleagues, not a couple.
00:33:42There's no way you can go back to your place.
00:33:44Not with Harrison working around.
00:33:45Jake, I can't.
00:33:47I'm not taking no for an answer.
00:33:49You know how the office gossip is.
00:33:51The board would freak.
00:33:54I would lose my job, actually.
00:33:57We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
00:33:59How do you know you're safe?
00:33:59I'm not picking your boxers up off the bathroom floor.
00:34:06Of course not.
00:34:08That's all a maid's for.
00:34:15Night, Jake.
00:34:18Night, Emma.
00:34:29Oh, sweet home.
00:34:34Come on.
00:34:43Gotcha.
00:34:45Miss Abrams, ex-employees cannot summon the board at their will.
00:34:49Relax, Jake.
00:34:50She reached out to me with some damaging information.
00:34:52I'm the one that called this meeting.
00:34:54Please, Miss Abrams, go ahead.
00:34:55As you can see, Mr. Morrison has been spending a little personal time
00:35:05with one of his employees, his chief of staff.
00:35:11Pictures don't lie, Peter.
00:35:13I can explain.
00:35:14This is just great.
00:35:17The woman we hired to keep you in line is creating yet another scandal.
00:35:21Nephew, looks like you failed your bet.
00:35:23Oh, we should fight her, too.
00:35:25You should call me.
00:35:26I was in San Francisco with Miss Davis on business.
00:35:30We had dinner with a potential client, and we closed the deal.
00:35:35Feel free to call the client to cooperate.
00:35:37Okay.
00:35:38All right.
00:35:38Look, these pictures, they don't prove anything.
00:35:41But you are on thin ice.
00:35:44Thank you, Peter.
00:35:44Thank you, Peter.
00:35:44What is this bet I keep hearing about?
00:36:05It's nothing.
00:36:06It's just board talk.
00:36:08It's not nothing.
00:36:09It's obviously about the company or the IPO or something.
00:36:12Even Cassidy knows.
00:36:14Don't worry about it.
00:36:17How the hell am I supposed to do my job if I don't even know what you're supposed to?
00:36:20I said it's nothing.
00:36:21Emma, drop it.
00:36:22So much for trust.
00:36:38Trouble in paradise?
00:36:39Get out of here, Cassidy.
00:36:40Oh, look, I'm sorry about the whole fake pregnancy thing.
00:36:47You just iced me out after I left the company, and I just, I just still love you, Jakey.
00:36:55You need to stop.
00:36:57We're done, Cassidy.
00:36:58We've been done.
00:37:00But I, I just...
00:37:01I want you out of my life.
00:37:02Now.
00:37:03This is ridiculous.
00:37:19Just go talk to her.
00:37:20Showtime.
00:37:23Oh, my God!
00:37:26Jake, please, help.
00:37:29Cassidy, are you okay?
00:37:31What happened?
00:37:33Of course.
00:37:46You left early this morning.
00:37:49I had work to do.
00:37:50Emma, can we talk?
00:37:52Can't.
00:37:52I'm busy.
00:37:54Your zipper's busted.
00:37:57What?
00:37:59Axe zipper.
00:38:01It's busted.
00:38:03I had panties.
00:38:06Bulletin.
00:38:08I'm fine.
00:38:13You know, if you ever need help with someone dressing you, you can always come to me.
00:38:20Not, not necessary.
00:38:22This secret bet you have going, is it about Cassidy?
00:38:30Because she seems to be popping up a lot.
00:38:32How many times do I have to tell you it's nothing?
00:38:33Your personal life is yours.
00:38:37But I really care about my job.
00:38:39So, if anything's going on that might jeopardize that, I'd really like to know.
00:38:44I would never jeopardize your job.
00:38:47Please trust me on that.
00:38:50Okay.
00:38:54I knew there was more going on.
00:39:04Cassidy, it's time to pull the trigger on Jake and Emma.
00:39:07Excuse me, uh, do we have an appointment?
00:39:17Mr. Morrison, I'm here to help you unwind.
00:39:23What the?
00:39:28I come highly recommended.
00:39:33I didn't hire you.
00:39:36You shouldn't.
00:39:37Shh, shouldn't.
00:39:40Isn't a word in my vocabulary.
00:39:44Hmm.
00:39:45God.
00:39:48It's been a while.
00:39:51See?
00:39:52Don't you just want to let go?
00:40:01Mr. Morrison would like to see you right away in his office.
00:40:15Stun!
00:40:17You have to leave now.
00:40:24Wow.
00:40:25Seriously?
00:40:28Seriously?
00:40:29Wait, it's not what it looks like.
00:40:31It's not what it looks like.
00:40:33It never is with you, is it?
00:40:38Fuck!
00:40:39Get the hell out of here.
00:40:42Your loss.
00:40:51Gotta fix this somehow.
00:40:56Emma?
00:40:57Can I talk to you for a second?
00:41:00No.
00:41:01What?
00:41:02Peter called another board meeting.
00:41:04So you better not have any more surprises.
00:41:12You assured us that nothing was going on between you two.
00:41:16So, explain this.
00:41:18Jake, need I remind you of the bed?
00:41:21No.
00:41:22No need to remind me of anything, Peter.
00:41:24Why bed?
00:41:25Because you swore that you would not-
00:41:27I know.
00:41:29I haven't.
00:41:30Can anyone answer me?
00:41:32What?

00:46:05You're fucking kidding me, Jake!
00:46:09Is this a game to you?
00:46:12I'm a real person with real feelings.
00:46:15It's... it's not a game.
00:46:21Maybe the tabloids are right.
00:46:24You're just a selfish, arrogant, rich CEO preying on innocent women for pleasure.
00:46:36Just a classic narcissist womanizer.
00:46:46You... have no idea what you're talking about.
00:46:49Maybe not.
00:46:50But I know what I have to do now.
00:46:53Goodbye, Jake.
00:46:54I'm gonna stop.
00:46:56I'm sorry.
00:46:58For hurting you.
00:47:00All because of that stupid bet I made with the company.
00:47:03The bet?
00:47:04Yes.
00:47:05A stupid multi-million dollar bet.
00:47:09I'm not following.
00:47:10That bet you keep hearing about?
00:47:12It's me proving to the board that I can settle down on and clean out my image for the sake of IPO.
00:47:1740 days to sell a busy or I lose the company and have a billion dollars.
00:47:22But then you came along and made everything so damn difficult.
00:47:29You're the woman of my dreams.
00:47:32And you can't even act on my feelings for it.
00:47:40You should have told me that from the start.
00:47:42Tonight is all about Gwen.
00:47:53No Jake or Harrison or any idiotic boys.
00:47:59Isn't it time that you visit your babies?
00:48:12What do you want?
00:48:17You, sweetheart.
00:48:21Oh, it's always been you, darling.
00:48:24Oh, look.
00:48:27No rich lover boy.
00:48:29Way to stop you.
00:48:33Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:48:36This is stupid, stupid.
00:48:38No, baby.
00:48:39I'm sorry.
00:48:40I'm sorry.
00:48:41I'm sorry.
00:48:41I didn't want to hurt you.
00:48:43I'm sorry.
00:48:43I'm sorry.
00:48:44I know.
00:48:45You're okay.
00:48:46It's okay.
00:48:47You're right.
00:48:47You don't want to hurt me.
00:48:48No, I don't want to hurt you.
00:48:49And you know what?
00:48:51Yes.
00:48:52You can let me go.
00:48:57You think I was going to let you go after everything that I've done for you?
00:49:05How stupid do you think I am?
00:49:10Time to go, sweetheart.
00:49:13Help!
00:49:14Help!
00:49:15Help!
00:49:19Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:49:23Oh, don't worry, sweetheart.
00:49:26Once you smarten up, everything will go back to normal.
00:49:31And be perfect.
00:49:34Just as it always was.
00:49:40Our relationship was never perfect, Paris.
00:49:44Oh, but...
00:49:45...it's just as if you are my...
00:50:02...平� away together again.
00:50:05Perhaps somewhere tro...
00:50:09You'll wear...
00:50:11there...
00:50:15I love you.
00:50:25You'll make me my favorite meal.
00:50:30And you'll smile.
00:50:35You'll smile.
00:50:40Stop pretending to be someone you're not.
00:50:44I know you.
00:50:47Please, please, please, please, please, please be the beautiful little girl that I know.
00:50:54Please.
00:50:57Please.
00:51:01You are an ungrateful bitch.
00:51:06What do you do, Harrison?
00:51:09Well, well, well.
00:51:16If it isn't the night in shining armor here to save her day.
00:51:30You didn't think you could just barge in here and take her from me, did you?
00:51:37Let her go.
00:51:39Nobody has to get hurt.
00:51:42You want to?
00:51:44Come and get her.
00:51:54Jake!
00:51:55You don't have to do this, Harrison.
00:51:56Emma's mine.
00:51:59Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
00:52:02No judge will ever convict me.
00:52:06The police call is five-year-old men.
00:52:08There's a man who has no body.
00:52:09He'll be calling me.
00:52:10Yeah.
00:52:11The time is ten-tenths of the law.
00:52:12You don't have to do what is a man.
00:52:14I can only-
00:52:16Get her back.
00:52:17Yeah.
00:52:19I can only do anything.
00:52:20But I think the kill is more.
00:52:21Yes.
00:52:22As I'm gonna actually do nothing, it's a man.
00:52:24I can't believe you being the man.
00:52:25Let her run.

01:02:35my personal life shouldn't be the business of anyone here are you kidding me jake we're about
01:02:41to go public perception is everything who's going to follow the leadership of a person that can't
01:02:46distinguish personal from professional you're just trying to turn me into a scandal to save yourself
01:02:52i'm trying to save this company and your little tryst speaks volumes about your lack of judgment
01:02:57judgment you want to talk about judgment why don't you turn that near inwards
01:03:03what you're talking about let's talk about your offshore accounts claude
01:03:11no no he's just trying to save himself he'll throw me under the bus no problem this meeting
01:03:17is highly inappropriate for the both of you now if this ipo gets scrutiny because of this internal
01:03:23drama this is not drama peter it's corruption and i have the documents to prove it
01:03:29that's bullshit okay number one i'm not stupid enough to embezzle secondly wouldn't be a paper trail
01:03:40if i did actually you can and you did and we've already found significant discrepancies in the ledger
01:03:47hey wait frank is this true unfortunately it is peter
01:03:57shit look i was supposed to be ceo okay i i after everything i did and my brother's stupid kid
01:04:09that's enough uncle you've been caught red-handed

01:04:37y'all become knight sign your tricks
01:04:43well it looks like it's air your dirty laundry kind of day so in the spirit of that
01:04:50let's not forget jake still broke the bet didn't you jakey
01:04:56if i can't have you i will make damn sure no one can as much as i'd hate to admit this jake
01:05:09she is right we can't overlook your misconduct peter it's not what it looks like
01:05:19jake there's no point in denying it anymore
01:05:22yes it's true jake and i are seeing each other
01:05:33so so you lied to us when we met with you after your san francisco trip no we weren't seeing each
01:05:41other then it's more recent than that oh miss davis of all people you as the chief of staff should know
01:05:50better we hired you to keep him in line and then we asked you to keep your distance from him
01:05:57how can we expect you to maintain the standards of the company for staff when you can't even
01:06:01maintain them yourself you're right and i completely understand i'll submit my resignation effective
01:06:10immediately this isn't emma's fault it's mine i request that you reject a resignation
01:06:17uh jake i don't think you're in any position to request anything
01:06:23if losing my job is a price i have to pay
01:06:29for loving her so be it i stepped down and see you affected immediately
01:06:36no jake you can't this is your career everything you've worked for you're more important to me than a
01:06:41title i won't let you lose anything just because of my mistakes you're stepping down for a fling
01:06:48this isn't a fling you've never lasted more than six months with anybody jake
01:06:53how are we supposed to believe this is different i'm not asking you to you're talking about walking
01:06:58away from my legacy everything your family built i get it i've always been a bit of a playboy a bit of an
01:07:07understatement jake you would really forfeit your position the money everything for a relationship
01:07:15this isn't just a relationship i'm as different than any other woman i've been with and i love her
01:07:24and that's enough for debate
01:07:25just like all of you i thought jake was a playboy but over time i came to find that he's much more
01:07:38than that he's kind caring protective and committed and i couldn't help but fall in love with him and if
01:07:50that means that i can't work at morrison enterprises then i'll step down
01:08:01we're gonna need a moment to discuss this of course we'll be in my office
01:08:08i can't believe we just did that did you really just tell the boy that you love me
01:08:13you could have at least told me first i don't know what came over me but but i meant it jake
01:08:25i love you i love you too
01:08:32wow what a performance shame it just won't save either of you
01:08:38then it's a good thing we're not the ones who need saving because i'm suing you you're suing me
01:08:49for what well let's see where we start there's a breach of privacy workplace harassment oh and the
01:08:58real issue here which is uh sexual extortion using those pictures like that illegal see you in court
01:09:07and uh security uh see you out
01:09:20the board has reached a decision jake you have shown some growth choosing to be in a committed and public
01:09:29relationship is honestly it's amazing pr especially right before the ipo and emma
01:09:36uncovering clyde's fraud speaks to your high standards thank you so we have made the decision
01:09:44not to accept your resignations you're not no in fact we have decided that the company needs you
01:09:52you as a team emma we would love to offer you the role of assistant ceo
01:10:01what do you say
01:10:06what do you do
01:10:17what do you do
