00:13:45Well, I think that the contract says that this is my room.
00:14:06Good night, husband.
00:14:11And this is where Mr. Thorne likes to entertain of the evening.
00:14:22The room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:26And we have the West Wing Library and the East Wing Pool.
00:14:41How do you find anything in here?
00:14:45One adapts, madam.
00:14:56And this room is the, um...
00:15:01Oh, dear.
00:15:03Would you excuse me?
00:15:05Of course.
00:15:06Apologies.
00:15:07What are you doing here?
00:15:32What are you doing here?
00:15:37Oh my gosh.
00:16:07This is...a lot.
00:16:14The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions, including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:20I can't accept this.
00:16:22You can, and you will.
00:16:25Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:32You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:34Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:47Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:49Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:17:04I 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.
00:17:11Jackie, there you are.
00:17:13Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:16We simply must celebrate.
00:17:19I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:21That doesn't mean we can't celebrate.
00:17:24Right?
00:17:25I can think of a dozen things you can 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.
00:17:45Oh, that was it.
00:17:48She was actually a waitress.
00:17:50Or, I don't remember, whatever it was.
00:17:53Excuse me.
00:17:55Excuse me.
00:17:58So, what you got to have.
00:18:00Watch out for the ex.
00:18:07So, as I was saying.
00:18:14Hmm.
00:18:15Hmm.
00:18:16You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:46Wow.
00:18:59Good?
00:19:00Surprisingly good.
00:19:01Surprisingly good.
00:19:03Hmm.
00:19:05Well, payment for spying.
00:19:08Payment accepted.
00:19:10You know,
00:19:11the house this grand,
00:19:13I would expect a kitchen to match.
00:19:19I had to make do.
00:19:21No, I never cook.
00:19:23Hmm.
00:19:24It's a shame.
00:19:33You can go now.
00:19:43You, um,
00:19:51wanted 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.
00:20:05I don't know if that's really...
00:20:06Number one.
00:20:07Stance.
00:20:10Move the feet apart.
00:20:12Bend this knee.
00:20:14Yeah.
00:20:15Then move this foot forward.
00:20:17Good.
00:20:18Okay.
00:20:19Now,
00:20:20hands up.
00:20:21Protect the face.
00:20:23Okay.
00:20:25Now,
00:20:26like this.
00:20:27Oh, God, I'm sorry.
00:20:33I'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?
00:20:50No.
00:20:51No.
00:20:52No.
00:20:53No.
00:20:57No.
00:20:59No.
00:21:00No.
00:21:01No.
00:21:02No.
00:21:04No.
00:21:05Every chef needs proper tools
00:21:19I have a business expense
00:21:22Business expense
00:21:25These are the best knives in the market
00:21:30The best knives are the best chef
00:21:35Why are you doing this?
00:21:37The contract
00:21:38No
00:21:39The real reason
00:21:41Maybe I just like watching you work
00:21:44Maybe
00:21:48You just like watching me
00:21:52You know that
00:21:56This doesn't change anything
00:22:00Of course not
00:22:05This is for your mother
00:22:08No, this is too much
00:22:15You should cover the whole thing
00:22:16Wait a second
00:22:19I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me
00:22:26What'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
00:22:45But if anyone finds out about the marriage then
00:22:48No one's gonna find out
00:22:49Oh really?
00:22:50Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town
00:22:52It's under control
00:22:54Is it?
00:22:55It seems like you're letting your feelings control all your
00:23:00I said it's handled
00:23:01Just remember what's at stake here
00:23:13This Morrison deal
00:23:16Is a deal of a lifetime
00:23:18Don't tell me you're actually fooling me
00:23:23Get out
00:23:53I said it's handled
00:23:54I said it's handled
00:23:55I said it's handled
00:23:56I said it's handled
00:23:57I said it's handled
00:23:58I said it's handled
00:23:59I said it's handled
00:24:00I said it's handled
00:24:01I said it's handled
00:24:02I said it's handled
00:24:03I said it's handled
00:24:04I said it's handled
00:24:05I said it's handled
00:24:06I said it's handled
00:24:07I said it's handled
00:24:08I said it's handled
00:24:09I said it's handled
00:24:10I said it's handled
00:24:11I said it's handled
00:24:12I said it's handled
00:24:13I said it's handled
00:24:14I said it's handled
00:24:15I said it's handled
00:24:16I said it's handled
00:24:17I said it's handled
00:24:18I said it's handled
00:24:19I said it's handled
00:24:50Oh, no.
00:24:59God.
00:25:13Jack, darling.
00:25:15Bounty seeing you here.
00:25:16Vivian?
00:25:17The 82 Crystal.
00:25:18Remember the Crystal Jack?
00:25:22I can still feel it running down my back just thinking about it.
00:25:26We even used to drink some of it.
00:25:28Anyway, we have business to discuss.
00:25:30You'll never believe what Hannah said about the Asian market today.
00:25:33Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:25:38This must be so boring for you.
00:25:41You're so insightful, Vivian.
00:25:43You do bore me.
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?
00:25:52So, 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
00:26:04too well.
00:26:05So, my proposal for next year would be basically...
00:26:07Why the whirlwind romance you've got there?
00:26:26What's the catch?
00:26:29There's always a catch.
00:26:31Excuse me, I...
00:26:33Rebecca 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, uh, business deals.
00:26:45Hmm.
00:26:46What would you say?
00:26:49Love at first sight, or something more contractual?
00:26:52You know, you should really write romance novels.
00:26:56Seems you have quite the imagination.
00:27:03We'll talk again soon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:27:05I have a feeling there's quite a story here.
00:27:16The Morrison Foundation dinners tonight.
00:27:18Oh, great.
00:27:19Another dinner.
00:27:21It's important.
00:27:21They'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?
00:27:34At least Vivian will be there.
00:27:36To talk.
00:27:37Deals, and acquisitions, and mergers, and...
00:27:41Okay, whatever.
00:27:42Whatever.
00:27:42Whatever.
00:27:51Nice.
00:27:55Real mature.
00:27:59No, don't.
00:28:00Fuck.
00:28:03Okay.
00:28:04Okay, fine.
00:28:05You want to go?
00:28:06Nope.
00:28:07Nope.
00:28:10No.
00:28:10No, no, please.
00:28:11Ah!
00:28:15Okay.
00:28:16No.
00:28:16Yeah?
00:28:16Yeah?
00:28:17No, no, no, no.
00:28:18No, no, no, no.
00:28:19What?
00:28:20No!
00:28:21No!
00:28:22No!
00:28:22No!
00:28:23No!
00:28:23Ow!
00:28:53Yeah.
00:29:01So, Jack's inheritance is all set.
00:29:03But he still hasn't signed the papers to commit the proceeds to the Morrison deal.
00:29:07That's the problem.
00:29:09Hmm. It's the girl, isn't it? The waitress.
00:29:13You and I both know she's been a problem from the start.
00:29:16And I thought you had everything under control.
00:29:18Oh, I've done my part.
00:29:20That's underway.
00:29:22And I thought you'd have your part under control.
00:29:26I have everything under control.
00:29:28Oh, really? Because it doesn't seem like it, Vivian.
00:29:30You know, maybe I overestimated your sway over, Jack.
00:29:34You haven't overestimated anything.
00:29:36I've just begun.
00:29:42I've got it.
00:29:50Funny how you can always count on the help to answer the door.
00:29:58I live here.
00:30:00Of course you do.
00:30:02Okay, thanks.
00:30:04Jack, darling.
00:30:06Should we proceed to the study?
00:30:08We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:10Yeah?
00:30:11Yeah.
00:30:12Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:14Vivian?
00:30:15Remember Tokyo?
00:30:16That Zaki bar?
00:30:17I'm married.
00:30:18Are you now?
00:30:19I hadn't noticed.
00:30:20Uh-huh.
00:30:21You know that feeling when you leave the house and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:30:24And you know that feeling?
00:30:26When you leave the house and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:30:30I'm married.
00:30:33Are you now?
00:30:35I hadn't noticed.
00:30:38Uh-huh.
00:30:39You know that feeling when you leave the house
00:30:42and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:30:55I forgot something.
00:30:57Maybe you can help me figure it out.
00:31:06Coffee?
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 how he liked it.
00:31:23And he just absolutely laps up every drop of my coffee.
00:31:32Isn't that right?
00:31:34Lily makes a great cup of coffee.
00:31:36So, how'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.
00:31:53That'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 that 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 to 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.
00:32:48Don't break my heart.
00:32:51Yeah.
00:32:52I don't want to be lied to.
00:33:22Yeah, 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.
00:33:44I think he's gone.
00:33:44You sure?
00:33:53You sure?
00:34:00Like that?
00:34:01I think he's gone.
00:34:01I think he could use some more.
00:34:06I got the Dota rides.
00:34:11Sure, that wasn't me.
00:34:12What?

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

01:04:04Mrs. Thorne,
01:04:10are you trying to negotiate
01:04:11new business terms?
01:04:13I don't know.
01:04:15Mr. Thorne.
01:04:19Can you handle them?
01:04:21I thought this wasn't
01:04:22about business anymore.
01:04:24How about you just shut up
01:04:26and kiss your wife?
