00:00:00They say the most primal human things are fighting, and well, I was about to learn both.
00:00:17Every girl wants to find her prince charming, but unfortunately we don't exactly live in a
00:00:22fairy tale world. There's no such thing as happily ever after. Where is the duck for table two?
00:00:29Table two ordered something special, chef.
00:00:34No, table two ordered the special and the special is the duck. What is this?
00:00:39Nothing.
00:00:40Yes, exactly. This is nothing. Now, the duck.
00:00:44Just do what your boss says, Lily. You can't afford to lose another job.
00:00:48How can you pay for mom's operation when you're homeless?
00:00:51Table two, the duck.
00:00:53So, I'm thinking about adopting a dog. You know, like the little tiny dogs that can fit in your
00:01:01handbag. They're so cute. So, anyway, once your inheritance is secure, the Morrison deal is all
00:01:06in the back. But what is this mystery clause you want to tell us about, Jack? Jack? Jack? Hello?
00:01:17Yeah, the dog?
00:01:22Hi.
00:01:24Hi.
00:01:25You ordered the special?
00:01:32Actually, I ordered the... Trust me.
00:01:35Who is that girl?
00:01:37Something about her.
00:01:40It's like I've been waiting for her my whole life.
00:01:41Wow. That was presumptuous.
00:01:44Huh?
00:01:44The waitress? Not bringing you what I ordered? Don't tell me you're actually impressed with
00:01:48that little slut, Jack.
00:01:49It looks good.
00:01:51The food or the waitress?
00:02:01And what do you think you are doing?
00:02:04I'm making something from the century.
00:02:06You know what? That's it. I've had enough. You are fired! Get out of here!
00:02:09Not this again.
00:02:12What did she say?
00:02:14I'm serious this time. You're fired! You get out of here!
00:02:17What?
00:02:18You take this! You peel up your act! You get out!
00:02:21No, please, sir. It won't happen again!
00:02:22No, it's no more, Mr. Nice Guy, this time. You get out! You leave!
00:02:25Please!
00:02:26No! No!
00:02:27Ready? Full call!
00:02:28Man!
00:02:29You're tired!
00:02:32They're taking the trash out, I see.
00:02:36Yeah, the trash.
00:02:42Asshole!
00:02:44Oh my God!
00:03:02Don't scream. Don't scream, babe.
00:03:05Or do you want to scream for me?
00:03:07Ha ha ha!
00:03:07Ha ha ha!
00:03:09Ah!
00:03:10Ah!
00:03:10Ah!
00:03:10Ah!
00:03:11Hey!
00:03:12Ooh!
00:03:13Uh!
00:03:14Uh!
00:03:15No!
00:03:16No!
00:03:16No!
00:03:17Boop!
00:03:20Hey, wait!
00:03:20Not now, Warren.
00:03:46Jack, my man.
00:03:47Hupasso.
00:03:48So, I'm a little disappointed that you're making me ask again.
00:03:51When are you going to unlock the inheritance, bro?
00:03:53The deal of a lifetime isn't going to wait forever.
00:03:56Yeah.
00:03:57Yeah, come on, are you even listening?
00:04:00I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:04:03And, I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:04:05Are you going to be that guy?
00:04:06Um.
00:04:09How can I help my mom when I can't even afford something to eat?
00:04:14Maybe next time.
00:04:15Thanks.
00:04:19Call me, Jack.
00:04:20I'll call you back.
00:04:21Jack, come on.
00:04:21Look, he hung up on me.
00:04:24Jack's never done that before.
00:04:25If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:31We're over.
00:04:33Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:36I've got just the plan.
00:04:38Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:54How am I going to find her again?
00:04:56You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:04You out of your mind?
00:05:06Vivian and I are done.
00:05:07Never again.
00:05:08She's just business now.
00:05:11Very well, sir.
00:05:13Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:16I'll find another wife.
00:05:17I'm afraid not.
00:05:19But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:23You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:28I know, I know.
00:05:29And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.
00:05:33The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:35And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.
00:05:42Especially your wife.
00:05:44Or I'll lose everything.
00:05:46Everything.
00:05:56Don't complain about things.
00:05:58I don't complain.
00:05:59I don't.
00:06:00All I'm saying is, you're going to have to start living in the real world.
00:06:03I am living in the real world.
00:06:05I am living in the real world.
00:06:10Really?
00:06:11Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:15Creative differences.
00:06:17There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:21Lily.
00:06:23You've got to open up your own place.
00:06:25You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:27So you've got to show the world what you've got.
00:06:30Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:34But without yours, we're never going to be able to afford mom's operation.
00:06:37Yeah, and it'll be all my fault.
00:06:42Lily.
00:06:44There is an opening at my office.
00:06:47Seriously?
00:06:49It's stable.
00:06:50Health insurance.
00:06:51401k.
00:06:52I'd rather die.
00:06:54You'd rather be broke.
00:06:55No, I'd rather...
00:06:56How can you help mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:11Fine.
00:07:11Yeah, you're right.
00:07:13Let's do it.
00:07:14Hi.
00:07:39Hi.
00:07:39Hey. Name? Lily Dunning. Can I help you? Yes, I'm here for the job interview. My sister's
00:07:49Megan. She works here. Last place of employment? Chez Francois. A restaurant? Yes, I'm a chef.
00:07:58My passion's cooking, so I... And does this look like a restaurant to you? No. No, of
00:08:05course not. And why do you think someone like you could work here? I just need a
00:08:13job. Sorry, I'm... Thanks. We'll let you know, okay? You can go now. Bye-bye.
00:08:22Screw this. Fuck. What are you looking at?
00:08:46I'm sorry, Mom. I've tried everything and I've let you down. You?
00:08:59Me. You dropped something. How did you? What are you doing here? I have a proposition for you.
00:09:14Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:19Well, hold on. Just hear me out. I heard you get fired. I know you don't have any money.
00:09:26Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot. I'm doing fine. Thank you.
00:09:31Really? What if I told you this proposition could solve all your problems?
00:09:40Really? Solve all my problems? I'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. I have a very important business deal with 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. I 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.
00:10:12Don't you think I'm good at walking away?
00:10:21Okay, well, what's it for me?
00:10:22Well, anything you want.
00:10:24Money.
00:10:25Place to live.
00:10:26Complete financial freedom to pursue your dreams.
00:10:29Just think of it as a business deal.
00:10:31Wow.
00:10:32Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:46It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:10:50You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:00My own wing?
00:11:01Complete privacy.
00:11:03But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:05Play the happy wife.
00:11:07Play the happy wife.
00:11:12Plan the baby.
00:11:25Yours is a pin.
00:11:28This is, um...
00:11:30Specific.
00:11:31Specific.
00:11:34I like clarity.
00:11:43Wife agrees to perform...
00:11:47Very specific.
00:11:53Is there a problem?
00:11:56Jack, we need to talk.
00:11:57What's going on here?
00:12:05No.
00:12:11I'm saying yes.
00:12:22To everything.
00:12:27Do you, Jack Thorne?
00:12:40This is insane.
00:12:41Shut up, boy.
00:12:43Take Lily Dunning to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:12:47This is fucking nuts.
00:12:48Shut the fuck up.
00:12:51I do.
00:12:52I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:13:22This marriage is just a contract.
00:13:45Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
00:14:04Good night, husband.
00:14:07And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of the evening.
00:14:22And the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:23And we have the West Wing Library and the East Wing Pool.
00:14:42How do you find anything in here?
00:14:45One of deaths, madam.
00:14:46And this room is the...
00:14:59Oh, dear.
00:15:03Would you excuse me?
00:15:05Of course.
00:15:06Apologies.
00:15:06Apologies.
00:15:06Apologies.
00:15:07What are you doing here?
00:15:37Oh my gosh.
00:16:07What's your problem?
00:16:10This is a lot.
00:16:13The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions, including tonight's charity
00:16:18gala.
00:16:19I can't accept this.
00:16:20You can.
00:16:21And you will.
00:16:22Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:26You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:33Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:34Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:48Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:03And then I said, do you want me to cut this steak?
00:17:06I don't need a knife.
00:17:07I need a chainsaw.
00:17:09Okay.
00:17:10Jackie, there you are.
00:17:12Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:15We simply must celebrate.
00:17:16I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:20That doesn't mean we can't celebrate.
00:17:23Right?
00:17:24I could think of a dozen things you could do to me.
00:17:33My God.
00:17:34This is a $10,000 Valentino.
00:17:37I'm sorry, but I didn't even do anything.
00:17:40Where did you find this one, Jackie?
00:17:42Wage staff training school?
00:17:44Vivian.
00:17:47Oh, that was it.
00:17:48She was actually a waitress.
00:17:50Or, I don't remember.
00:17:52Whatever it was.
00:17:54Excuse me.
00:17:57So, when she got to the house,
00:17:59I went down for the eggs.
00:18:06As I was saying.
00:18:10You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:40Wow.
00:18:41Good?
00:18:42Surprisingly good.
00:18:43Surprisingly good.
00:18:44Surprisingly good.
00:18:47A payment for spying.
00:18:49Payment accepted.
00:18:50Wow.
00:18:59Good?
00:19:00Surprisingly good.
00:19:02Surprisingly good.
00:19:05Payment for spying.
00:19:08Payment accepted.
00:19:10You know,
00:19:11a house this grand,
00:19:13I would expect
00:19:14a kitchen to match.
00:19:16I had to make do.
00:19:21No, I never cook.
00:19:23It's a shame.
00:19:33You can go now.
00:19:46You, um,
00:19:50wanted to see me.
00:19:53Time for your first lesson.
00:19:55My what?
00:20:01Self-defense.
00:20:03Never know when you might need it.
00:20:04I don't know if that's really...
00:20:06Number one, stance.
00:20:09Move the feet apart.
00:20:12Bend this knee.
00:20:14Yeah.
00:20:14Then move this foot forward.
00:20:17Good.
00:20:18Okay.
00:20:19Now, hands up.
00:20:21Protect the face.
00:20:23Okay.
00:20:24Now,
00:20:25like this.
00:20:27Oh, God, I'm sorry.
00:20:32I'm not really good at this.
00:20:36We're just getting started.
00:20:38Oh.
00:20:40Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:44Rule number one.
00:20:46Stance.
00:20:48Right?
00:20:49Right?
00:20:49Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:19I have a business expense.
00:21:24Business expense.
00:21:27These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:30The best knives to the best chef.
00:21:35Why are you doing this?
00:21:37The contract.
00:21:38No.
00:21:40The real reason.
00:21:42Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:21:47Maybe you just like watching me.
00:21:55You know that, um, this doesn't change anything.
00:22:00Of course not.
00:22:06This is for your mother.
00:22:13This...
00:22:14No, this is too much.
00:22:15This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:19At least I can do.
00:22:20I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
00:22:27What's the catch?
00:22:28We've got a problem.
00:22:41Morning to you too.
00:22:43So the inheritance release date is set, but if anyone finds out about the marriage then...
00:22:47No one's gonna find out.
00:22:48Oh really?
00:22:49Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:22:52It's under control.
00:22:53Is it?
00:22:54It seems like you're letting your feelings control your...
00:22:56I said it's handled.
00:23:11Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:13This Morrison deal...
00:23:15Is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:17It's a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:18Don't tell me you're actually a fool.
00:23:23Get out.
00:23:47I'll see.
00:23:49He's not.
00:23:51He's not.
00:23:52He's not.
00:23:53He's not.
00:23:53He's not.
00:23:55He's not.
00:23:56Are you looking for the takeoff?
00:23:58Your mother's first.
00:23:59He's not.
00:24:01He's not.
00:24:02He's not.
00:24:04He's not.
00:24:06He's a man.
00:24:07He's not.
00:24:09He says he's not.
00:24:12Oh yeah.
00:24:13There is no need to be.
00:25:45Darling, the adults have business to discuss.
00:25:48Why don't you go back to like chopping or whatever it is that you do?
00:25:53So basically, you know, the company way that we have our investments holding in.
00:25:56I had a business meeting with Hannah today and she has basically advised me to say that
00:26:00our investments are not making any profit because me and self isn't actually doing all too well.
00:26:05So my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:10Why the whirlwind romance you've got there?
00:26:26What's the catch?
00:26:29There's always a catch.
00:26:31Excuse me.
00:26:32Rebecca Chen.
00:26:34Social pages.
00:26:35Two days from first meeting to marriage.
00:26:39This must be some kind of record.
00:26:41Though lately I've been more interested in business deals.
00:26:46Hmm.
00:26:46What would you say?
00:26:49Love at first sight or something more contractual?
00:26:53You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:26:56Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:03We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:04I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:16The Morrison Foundation enters tonight.
00:27:18Oh, great.
00:27:19Another dinner.
00:27:21It's important.
00:27:22They're all important.
00:27:23It's a part of the deal.
00:27:25They're all a part of the deal.
00:27:28You knew what you were signing up for.
00:27:30Did I?
00:27:31At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:36To talk deals and acquisitions and mergers.
00:27:41Whatever.
00:27:54Nice.
00:27:55Real mature.
00:27:59No, don't.
00:28:00Sauce.
00:28:03Okay.
00:28:04Okay, fine.
00:28:05You want to go?
00:28:07Nope.
00:28:10No, no, wait.
00:28:15Okay, go ahead.
00:28:16Yeah, yeah.
00:28:17No, no, no, no.
00:28:18No, no, no, no.
00:28:19Let's go.
00:28:20No.
00:28:21Ah!
00:28:22No.
00:28:23No.
00:28:24Ow!
00:28:24Ow!
00:28:25Oh.
00:28:26Oh.
00:28:27Oh.
00:28:27Yeah.
00:28:55Yeah.
00:28:56So, Jack's inheritance is all set.
00:29:04But he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:08That's the problem.
00:29:10Hmm.
00:29:11It's the girl, isn't it?
00:29:13The waitress.
00:29:14You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:17And I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:18Oh, I've done my part.
00:29:19That's under way.
00:29:22And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:26I have everything under control.
00:29:29Oh, really?
00:29:29Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.
00:29:31You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over, Jack.
00:29:35You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:37I've just begun.
00:29:38I've got it.
00:29:55Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:29:58I live here.
00:30:00Of course you do.
00:30:01Okay, thanks.
00:30:06Jack.
00:30:07Darling.
00:30:08Should we proceed to the study?
00:30:09We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:12Yeah.
00:30:13Yeah.
00:30:16Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:19Vivian?
00:30:27Remember Tokyo?
00:30:29That sake bar?
00:30:31I'm married.
00:30:33Are you now?
00:30:36I hadn't noticed.
00:30:38Uh-oh.
00:30:39You know that feeling when you leave the house
00:30:42and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:30:47I forgot something.
00:30:58Maybe you can...
00:31:01help me figure it out?
00:31:05Coffee?
00:31:08Oh, no thank you.
00:31:10Jack and I have much to catch up on.
00:31:13Oh, and Jack doesn't drink coffee.
00:31:16Do you, Jack?
00:31:17Actually, I've taken it up recently.
00:31:20I guess before me, Jack never really had coffee
00:31:22how he liked it.
00:31:23And he just absolutely laps up
00:31:26every drop of my coffee.
00:31:32Isn't that right?
00:31:34Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:36So...
00:31:42How's Vivian?
00:31:46Focus on your form.
00:31:47You know, I was just wondering.
00:31:50How long the two of you...
00:31:51Ancient history.
00:31:54That's not what I heard.
00:31:55From who?
00:31:57Around.
00:31:59Tokyo gets brought up a lot.
00:32:00You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:03You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:06That's business.
00:32:08Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:12But you know what?
00:32:16What's this?
00:32:19Some pretty big business
00:32:20that you haven't been sharing with me.
00:32:22I think Vivian wants some of it, too.
00:32:27But you know what?
00:32:30Maybe you should just keep your business
00:32:31to yourself.
00:32:34Sad.
00:32:36Watch your stance.
00:32:38I don't want to be lied to.
00:32:44I'm not lying, Lily.
00:32:45Don't break my heart.
00:32:52Yeah.
00:32:52Yeah.
00:32:52Yeah.
00:33:15Yeah, this guy is so great today.
00:33:28I hate you so much.
00:33:29Please act like you know me.
00:33:30There's someone following me.
00:33:31Oh, my God.
00:33:32Are you okay?
00:33:33Who's following you?
00:33:35That weirdo?
00:33:42Is he gone?
00:33:43I think he's gone.
00:33:45You sure?
00:34:00Like that?
00:34:04I think your technique could use some more.
00:34:07They got the Dota rides.
00:34:11Sure that wasn't me?
00:34:15I think the real challenge is market penetration
00:34:41in emerging economies.
00:34:43I'm sure Jack's brought you up to speed on all of this.
00:34:47Um, actually, I...
00:34:49Tell me, what's your take on blockchain integration?
00:34:52Um, I think...
00:34:55Oh, no comment.
00:34:57How surprising.
00:34:58Excuse me.
00:35:00Oh, great thinking, Lily.
00:35:02All of our drinks could use with a refill.
00:35:04Love you.
00:35:21Uh-huh.
00:35:26Love you.
00:35:27But this thing isn't going to last forever, Jack
00:35:37I don't know
00:35:39I mean, what choice do you have?
00:35:42Clock's ticking, buddy
00:35:43Unless you want to lose this deal forever
00:35:46Lunch?
00:35:52I was just on my way out
00:35:57Think about it, Jack
00:35:57What was that about?
00:36:08Nothing, just business
00:36:09Just business, of course
00:36:12Lily, wait
00:36:14What do you want, Jack?
00:36:27Taking you on a holiday
00:36:42What?
00:36:43You have time for that?
00:36:46A lot of time
00:36:47Just us?
00:36:50I know what I want
00:36:51Oh, what about, um
00:36:56What about Warren and the deal?
00:37:00I can wait
00:37:00There she is
00:37:04What?
00:37:06That smile
00:37:07It's the one you had when I first laid ass on you
00:37:10I'll never forget it
00:37:13You know that I don't just, um
00:37:15Serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:18Really?
00:37:19Mm-hmm
00:37:20I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorne
00:37:26I've been told to relay that there's a problem in the back of the office
00:37:29Timeline on the deal has moved up
00:37:32Save
00:37:32Thank you
00:37:33Would you like me to cancel the trip, sir?
00:37:39Yeah
00:37:39Very good
00:37:41Who sent the message?
00:37:45Vivian Chase
00:37:46Lily, I'm sorry
00:37:52Don't
00:37:52Please
00:37:53It's just
00:37:53It's business, yeah
00:37:55I get it
00:37:56Lily, I shouldn't, uh
00:38:07Just shut up and
00:38:09Taste this
00:38:10Mmm
00:38:20It's taste, uh
00:38:21Incredible?
00:38:22Yeah
00:38:22Yeah, I know
00:38:23Jack
00:38:29Mm-hmm
00:38:29Do you want more?
00:38:33Um, after this one
00:38:34No
00:38:34At the food
00:38:37Jack
00:38:39Talking about us
00:38:42How long are we going to keep on doing this?
00:38:49Oh my god
00:39:04What was that?
00:39:15Any enemies?
00:39:17Business rivals?
00:39:17No one comes to mind
00:39:20Security cameras?
00:39:24Being installed as we speak
00:39:26Mrs. Thorne?
00:39:38Sorry
00:39:39It's all I saw
00:39:41I'm worried
00:39:46You okay?
00:39:49Yeah
00:39:50Thank you
00:39:58Yeah
00:39:59This is so insane
00:40:05It's probably just kids

00:40:13Oh, sorry

00:50:29Watch me.
00:50:29Hey, what happened to the girl who would never back down?
00:50:46The one who quit her job because she didn't want to compromise?
00:50:49She played.
00:50:50Did she?
00:50:56That's Jack.
00:50:57I'm sure that's just my octogenarian neighbor who's a total drama queen.
00:51:01Watch.
00:51:03Gladys?
00:51:06Gladys, is that you?
00:51:08Do you need help with your phone?
00:51:16Sir.
00:51:17Coffee.
00:51:19I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:23You might want to see this.
00:51:27What am I looking at here?
00:51:30Wire transfers, shell companies, all leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:35More.
00:51:37I knew it.
00:51:38You might want to see these too, sir.
00:51:39They'll illuminate things even more.
00:51:41Son of a bitch.
00:51:47He's trying to steal the inheritance.
00:51:49He sure is.
00:51:50All through a series of cleverly placed shell companies.
00:51:55Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial.
00:51:59They're threatening Lily and her sister.
00:52:14Then perhaps it's time we stop playing their game.
00:52:18Give me everything you can about Warren.
00:52:19Every meeting, every call.
00:52:20Already compiled, sir.
00:52:22I had a feeling we might need this.
00:52:23Sir, what about the inheritance?
00:52:25Some things are worth more than money.
00:52:27I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:41Megan?
00:52:49Oh.
00:52:50Oh.
00:53:00Oh.
00:53:00Oh.
00:53:01Oh.
00:53:12Oh.
00:53:13Oh.
00:53:13Huh.
00:53:18I got us under this
00:53:32I can get us out of this
00:53:33I can do this
00:53:35I can do this
00:53:36Your little cookie's on her way over to save her sister as we speak
00:53:40And I wouldn't put money on how well that's gonna go
00:53:45If anything happens to her
00:53:46That's up to you
00:53:47Sign the papers
00:53:50And this all goes away
00:53:54Like those photos of you and me from that reporter suddenly went away
00:53:58Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved
00:54:04Don't they?
00:54:06I always knew you were soft
00:54:08But this?
00:54:10Throwing away a billion dollar inheritance for some chef
00:54:13He's not throwing it away
00:54:14He's giving it to us
00:54:17All we need is a signature
00:54:20Jack
00:54:20You care too much, Jackie boy
00:54:23Always have
00:54:25I think we might need to send a little message
00:54:31Wait
00:54:34Let me go
00:54:55You psycho
00:54:55Remember your training
00:55:01Protect your face
00:55:04Megan!
00:55:09Lenny!
00:55:09Welcome to the party, sweetheart
00:55:14Come on
00:55:16Come on
00:55:17Come on
00:55:19Of course it's a trap
00:55:24The question is
00:55:27What are you gonna do about it?
00:55:30I've traced the video feed to the starlight motel, sir
00:55:37Room 115
00:55:38Lawrence called the police
00:55:40Already done
00:55:41But sir
00:55:42They're at least 20 minutes out
00:55:43She doesn't have 20 minutes
00:55:45No, no, no, no, no
00:55:52Lawrence, she's there
00:55:55Lily's there
00:55:56Hold on, Lily
00:56:01Hold on
00:56:02Leave her alone
00:56:17Shut up
00:56:17Get away from my wife
00:56:20Well, well
00:56:22Hero arrives
00:56:24Don't do it, Jackie boy
00:56:27I'm not some damsel in distress
00:56:32That's my girl
00:56:34Oh
00:56:42I guess it is real love, huh?
00:56:54That's for my sister
00:56:55You son of a bitch
00:56:57Neil
00:57:01Lily
00:57:04About everything
00:57:05The photos
00:57:07Vivian
00:57:08Now?
00:57:10Seriously?
00:57:11I love you
00:57:11Not for any
00:57:14Inheritance
00:57:15Not for any deal
00:57:16Just
00:57:17Neil
00:57:19I know
00:57:27You
00:57:31Stay right there
00:57:32Come on
00:57:33Cuff him
00:57:34What the hell?
00:57:49This isn't
00:57:50Possible
00:57:50And I wouldn't put money
00:57:55On how well
00:57:55That's gonna go
00:57:56Sign the papers
00:57:57Deep fakes
00:57:58Really do hurt
00:57:58Everyone involved
00:57:59That proves nothing
00:58:00I think it might prove something
00:58:02Yeah, and those photos
00:58:04That you planted
00:58:04Maybe use better AI
00:58:06Next time
00:58:06You can't?
00:58:08Yes
00:58:08They can
00:58:09And
00:58:10You two are under arrest
00:58:12No
00:58:13You'll regret this, Jack
00:58:15The inheritance
00:58:16That
00:58:16Are nothing
00:58:17Compared to what I almost lost
00:58:19You pit upon it all, Jack
00:58:20I do
00:58:23Yes, thank you
00:58:31Thanks
00:58:32Now that's the story
00:58:38Here to twist the knife?
00:58:44Actually
00:58:44I'm here to get it right
00:58:46Where did you?
00:58:49Lawrence
00:58:50Sends his regards
00:58:51Seems your butler
00:58:53Is a little armchair
00:58:54Investigative journalist
00:58:55So
00:58:56No scandal piece?
00:58:58Oh
00:58:58There's definitely a scandal
00:59:00But
00:59:01Not the one they wanted me
00:59:03To bite on
00:59:03That's
00:59:07Actually accurate
00:59:08I'm a reporter
00:59:10Truth is kind of my thing
00:59:12Though I must admit
00:59:14I didn't see the secret
00:59:15Martial arts skills coming
00:59:17Yeah, neither did they
00:59:18Story runs tomorrow
00:59:21Catch you on the next scandal
00:59:23Only about the inheritance
00:59:33Do you really think
00:59:33Do you really think
00:59:33That I care about
00:59:34Any of that now?

00:59:55It is for me
00:59:58Any regrets?

01:00:02That I didn't get your chef's special sooner
01:00:06Could have saved us last
01:00:08Yeah

01:00:09Wow
01:00:10Excuse me, sir
01:00:14Miss Chen's article is out

01:00:23Jack Thorne announced plans
01:00:37In a shocking turn of events
01:00:39Tech entrepreneur Jack Thorne announced his plans
01:00:41To transform his inherited fortune
01:00:43Into the city's largest culinary grant program
01:00:46Surprised?
01:00:48But your
01:00:51Your inheritance is gone
01:00:53Well, the inheritance, yeah
01:00:55But turns out
01:00:57Selling a tech company
01:00:58Can be quite profitable
01:00:59You sold the company?
01:01:01Turns out some things
01:01:02Are worth more than money
01:01:03Perfect, Julie and Danny
01:01:20Keep it thin, okay?
01:01:21Just like that
01:01:33This looks good on you
01:01:38And who said there's no such thing
01:01:41As a happily ever after?
01:01:44Suckers
01:01:44Can I get you your usual, sir?
01:01:48It depends
01:01:49Did my wife make it?
01:01:51The very same wife that you married for business?
01:01:54Best business decision I ever made
01:01:56Hang on
01:02:03Voila
01:02:11You're the best chef in town
01:02:17You're only saying that
01:02:20Because you're contractually obligated
01:02:21I think that contract expired
01:02:24Good thing I signed a new one
01:02:27We are gathered here today
01:02:36No more business deals this time
01:02:37Just love
01:02:39Good
01:02:40Because I have some terms off my own
01:02:43First
01:02:45You have to eat everything I cooked
01:02:48Done
01:02:49Second
01:02:51No more locked rooms
01:02:53Without me in it
01:02:56Is that all?
01:03:00Third
01:03:01You have to mean it this time
01:03:04I meant it the first time
01:03:05Just didn't know yet
01:03:07The rings
01:03:09Actually
01:03:10Is that
01:03:17Something old
01:03:18Something new
01:03:19Something borrowed
01:03:21Something
01:03:22Not one
01:03:25For better or worse
01:03:33For real this time
01:03:35You may kiss the bride
01:03:39So
01:03:41Are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:03:59What are you?
01:04:03Lauren told me back
01:04:04Mrs. Thorne
01:04:10Are you trying to negotiate
01:04:11New business terms?
01:04:13I don't know
01:04:14Mr. Thorne
01:04:16Can you handle them?
01:04:21I thought this wasn't about business anymore
01:04:23How about you just shut up
01:04:26And kiss your wife?
