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?
00:03:07Hey!
00:03:07Oh my God!
00:03:20Hey, wait!
00:03:20Oh my God!
00:03:23I don't know what I'm going to do, Jack my man, Hupasso, sir I'm a little disappointed
00:03:49that you're making me ask again, when 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?
00:03:59I mean, if we don't move on this Morrison thing, someone else will.
00:04:02And I mean, I'm not going to be that guy.
00:04:04Are 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?
00:04:13Maybe next time.
00:04:17Thanks.
00:04:19Call me.
00:04:20I'll call you back.
00:04:21Jack, come on.
00:04:22You gotta lock on me.
00:04:23Jack's never done that before.
00:04:25If he doesn't lock away this inheritance deal, then...
00:04:28the Morrison deal's over.
00:04:30We're over.
00:04:32Don't you worry your wrinkled little forehead, Warren.
00:04:35I've got just the plan.
00:04:43Just when I think I've found her, she's gone again.
00:04:47You could always marry Vivian Chase, sir.
00:05:03You out of your mind?
00:05:04Vivian and I are done.
00:05:06Never again.
00:05:07She's just... business now.
00:05:10Very well, sir.
00:05:12Although it is your inheritance at stake, sir.
00:05:15I'll find another way.
00:05:17I'm afraid not.
00:05:18But the terms of your parents' will are quite specific.
00:05:22You must be married before your 32nd birthday for precisely 365 days.
00:05:27I know, I know.
00:05:28And with that fateful birthday fast approaching, there's little time.
00:05:32The inheritance must be claimed within the month.
00:05:35And most crucially of all, you must not tell a soul about the marriage cause.
00:05:40Especially your wife.
00:05:42Or I lose everything.
00:05:43Everything.
00:05:44Don't complain about things.
00:05:45I don't complain.
00:05:46I don't.
00:05:47All I'm saying is, you're gonna have to start living in the real world.
00:06:03I am living in the real world.
00:06:10Really?
00:06:11Because getting fired yet from another restaurant job is the real world.
00:06:14Creative... differences.
00:06:17There are always creative differences with you.
00:06:21Lily.
00:06:23You gotta open up your own place.
00:06:25You're a chef, not a fucking line cook.
00:06:27So you gotta show the world what you got.
00:06:30Besides, I have my share of money.
00:06:33But without yours, we're never gonna be able to afford Mom's operation.
00:06:38Yeah, and it'll be all my fault.
00:06:41Lily.
00:06:44There is an opening at my office.
00:06:47Seriously?
00:06:48It's stable.
00:06:50Health insurance.
00:06:51401K.
00:06:52I'd rather die.
00:06:53You'd rather be broke.
00:06:54No, I'd rather...
00:07:00How can you help Mom when you can't even take care of yourself?
00:07:10Fine.
00:07:11Yeah.
00:07:12You're right.
00:07:13Let's do it.
00:07:14Yes.
00:07:38Hi.
00:07:39Name?
00:07:41Lily Dunning.
00:07:43Can I help you?
00:07:45Yes, I'm here for the job interview.
00:07:47My sister is Megan.
00:07:49She works here.
00:07:51Last place of employment?
00:07:53Chez Francois.
00:07:55A restaurant?
00:07:57Yes, I'm a chef.
00:07:59My passion is cooking, so I...
00:08:01And does this look like a restaurant to you?
00:08:03No.
00:08:05No, of course not.
00:08:07Why do you think someone like you could work here?
00:08:11I just need a job.
00:08:13Sorry, I'm...
00:08:15Thanks. We'll let you know, okay?
00:08:19You can go now.
00:08:21Bye-bye.
00:08:29Screw this!
00:08:31Fuck.
00:08:45What are you looking at?!
00:08:51I'm sorry, Mom.
00:08:53I've tried everything and I've let you down.
00:08:55You.
00:08:59Me.
00:09:03You dropped something.
00:09:05How did you?
00:09:09What are you doing here?
00:09:11I have a proposition for you.
00:09:13Sorry, I'm not interested in propositions from strange men in suits.
00:09:17Well, hold on.
00:09:19Just...
00:09:20Hear me out.
00:09:21I heard you get fired.
00:09:23I know you don't...
00:09:24Have any money.
00:09:26Looks like you're in a bit of a rough spot.
00:09:28I'm doing fine.
00:09:31Really?
00:09:34What if I told you this proposition could solve...
00:09:38All your problems?
00:09:39Really?
00:09:40Solve all my problems?
00:09:43I've got a lot of problems.
00:09:45What if I told you I need a wife?
00:09:46I 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...
00:09:59See stability.
00:10:00Okay, so...
00:10:01Find 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...
00:10:11Uniquely qualified.
00:10:12Thought you think I'm good at walking away?
00:10:16Okay, well, what's in it for me?
00:10:22Well, 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, um...
00:10:32Yeah, that's a really big diamond.
00:10:46It's just a very small part of the deal.
00:10:48You'll have your whole wing of the house.
00:11:00My own wing?
00:11:02Complete privacy.
00:11:04But you will have to attend events with me.
00:11:06Play the happy wife.
00:11:07Let me just call her.
00:11:09What do you want...
00:11:10You'll have to outside here?
00:11:26Yeah...
00:11:28This is um...
00:11:30Specific?
00:11:32Specific.
00:11:34I like clarity.
00:11:43Wife agrees to perform.
00:11:49Very specific.
00:11:53Is there a problem?
00:11:56Jack, we need to talk.
00:12:00What's going on here?
00:12:02I'm saying yes.
00:12:22To everything.
00:12:32Do you, Jack Thorne?
00:12:40This is insane.
00:12:41Shut up, boy.
00:12:42Take 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.
00:12:57You know what?
00:12:59This is fucking nuts.
00:12:59I know what I do.
00:13:05I know what I mean.
00:13:07You know what I mean.
00:13:08I know what I mean.
00:13:08I know what I mean.
00:13:09It's pretty nice.
00:13:09This is funny.
00:13:11But?
00:13:14I know what I mean.
00:13:15This marriage, it's just a contract.
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.
00:14:21And the room on the left is the kitchen.
00:14:33And 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.
00:14:51And this room is the, um...
00:14:59Oh, dear.
00:15:01Would you excuse me?
00:15:03Of course.
00:15:04Apologies.
00:15:05Apologies.
00:15:06Apologies.
00:15:07What are you doing here?
00:15:24What are you doing here?
00:15:54What are you doing here?
00:16:01Oh my gosh.
00:16:07Bravo?
00:16:10This is... a lot.
00:16:13The contract stipulates appropriate attire for all occasions,
00:16:17including tonight's charity gala.
00:16:19I can't accept this.
00:16:21You can, and you will.
00:16:24Unless you want to attend the event in jeans.
00:16:31You know, this doesn't mean that I like you.
00:16:33Wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:46Ready for your debut, Mrs. Thorne?
00:16:48Yes, I am, Mr. Thorne.
00:16:54And 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.
00:17:09Jackie, there you are.
00:17:12Warren tells me the Morrison deal is all in the bag.
00:17:15We simply must celebrate.
00:17:18I heard about your little stunt wedding.
00:17:20That doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?
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?
00:17:42Wagstaff 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.
00:17:54Excuse me.
00:17:55So, what you guys have,
00:18:00Watch out for the eggs.
00:18:06As I was saying.
00:18:13Mmm.
00:18:14You know, you should really come over here and taste this.
00:18:44Wow.
00:18:59Good?
00:19:00Surprisingly good.
00:19:01Surprisingly good.
00:19:05Payment for spying.
00:19:08Payment accepted.
00:19:09You know,
00:19:11the house this grand,
00:19:12I would expect
00:19:14a kitchen to match.
00:19:19I had to make do.
00:19:21No, I never cook.
00:19:22Mmm.
00:19:23It's a shame.
00:19:32You can go now.
00:19:39You, um...
00:19:51Wanted to see me?
00:19:53Time for your first lesson.
00:19:55My what?
00:20:00Self-defense.
00:20:02Never know when you might need it.
00:20:04I don't know if that's...
00:20:05Number one.
00:20:06Stance.
00:20:09Move the feet apart.
00:20:11Bend this knee.
00:20:13Yeah.
00:20:14Then move this foot forward.
00:20:16Good.
00:20:17Okay.
00:20:19Now, hands up.
00:20:21Protect the face.
00:20:23Okay.
00:20:24Now, like this.
00:20:26Oh, oh.
00:20:27I'm sorry.
00:20:32I'm not really good at this.
00:20:35We're just getting started.
00:20:36Oh.
00:20:40Maybe we should just focus on business.
00:20:43Rule number one.
00:20:46Stance.
00:20:48Right?
00:21:06Every chef needs proper tools.
00:21:19I, um...
00:21:21Business expense?
00:21:24Business expense.
00:21:27These are the best knives in the market.
00:21:30The best knives are the best chef.
00:21:31Why are you doing this?
00:21:32The contract.
00:21:33No.
00:21:35The real reason.
00:21:37Maybe I just like watching you work.
00:21:39Maybe.
00:21:41You just like watching me.
00:21:43You know that, um...
00:21:45This doesn't change anything.
00:21:46Of course not.
00:21:47This is for your mother.
00:21:48This...
00:21:49No, this is too much.
00:21:50It should cover the whole thing.
00:21:51Please, I could...
00:21:53No.
00:21:54No, this is too much.
00:21:57It should cover the whole thing.
00:21:59Please, I can...
00:22:00Of course not.
00:22:07This is for your mother.
00:22:13No, this is too much.
00:22:15This should cover the whole thing.
00:22:19Please, I can do it.
00:22:23I think that's literally the nicest thing a man has ever done for me.
00:22:28What's the catch?
00:22:30We've got a problem.
00:22:42Morning to you, too.
00:22:43So, the inheritance release date is set, but if anyone finds out about the marriage, then...
00:22:48No one's going to find out.
00:22:49Oh, really?
00:22:50Because your little chef seems to be quite the talk of the town.
00:22:53It's under control.
00:22:54Is it?
00:22:57It seems like you're letting your feelings control your...
00:23:00I said it's handled.
00:23:12Just remember what's at stake here, yeah?
00:23:15This Morrison deal...
00:23:17is a deal of a lifetime.
00:23:18Oh, don't tell me you're actually a fool.
00:23:23Get out.
00:23:28Let's go.
00:23:37Diageo.
00:25:38This must be so boring for you.
00:25:41You're so insightful, Vivian.
00:25:43You do bore me.
00:25:44Darling, 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.
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.
00:27:16Well, the 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.
00:27:37Deals 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.
00:28:21No.
00:28:22No.
00:28:22No.
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.
00:30:03Okay, thanks.
00:30:04Jack, darling, should we proceed to the study?
00:30:09We need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:12Yeah.
00:30:13Yeah.
00:30:17Oh, we need to discuss the Morrison deal.
00:30:24Vivian?
00:30:24Remember 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-huh.
00:30:39You know that feeling when you leave the house
00:30:42and you just feel like you've forgotten something?
00:30:47I forgot something.
00:30:58Maybe you can...
00:31:01help 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.
00:31:41So, 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.
00:32:01You've been talking to Warren.
00:32:03You've been talking to Vivian.
00:32:06That's business.
00:32:07Everything is business with you, isn't it?
00:32:10But you know what?
00:32:16What's this?
00:32:19Some pretty big business.
00:32:21That you haven't been sharing with me.
00:32:24I think Vivian wants some of it, too.
00:32:27But you know what?
00:32:30Maybe you should just keep your business to yourself.
00:32:32It's sad.
00:32:35Watch your stance.
00:32:41I don't want to be lied to.
00:32:44I'm not lying, Lily.
00:32:48Don't break my heart.
00:32:52Yeah.
00:32:52It's sad.
00:33:19I'm not lying.
00:33:20It's so funny.
00:33:20It's so funny.
00:33:21Please act like you know me, there's someone following me
00:33:31Oh my god, are you okay?
00:33:33Who's following you?
00:33:35That weirdo?
00:33:42Is he gone?
00:33:43I think he's gone
00:33:51You're sure?
00:34:00Like that?
00:34:04I think your technique could use some more
00:34:06They got the dota rides
00:34:08You sure that wasn't me?
00:34:21What?
00:34:37Of course
00:34:38And I think the real challenge is market penetration and emerging economies
00:34:42I'm sure Jack's brought you up to speed on all of this
00:34:45Um, 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
00:34:59Great thinking, Lily
00:35:02All of our drinks could use with a refill
00:35:04Love 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
00:36:08Just business
00:36:09Just business
00:36:10Of 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...
00:36:57What 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 house on you
00:37:10I'll never forget it
00:37:13You know that I don't just, um...
00:37:16Serve that dish to anyone, right?
00:37:18Really?
00:37:19Mm-hmm
00:37:20I'm so sorry to interrupt, Mr. Thorn
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, Sid?
00:37:39Yeah
00:37:39You're good
00:37:41Who sent the message?
00:37:45Vivian Chase
00:37:46It'll be, I'm sorry
00:37:52Don't
00:37:52Please
00:37:53It's just business
00:37:54It's business, yeah
00:37:55I get it
00:37:56Lily, I shouldn't, uh...
00:38:07Just shut up and taste this
00:38:10Mmm
00:38:20It's taste, uh...
00:38:21Incredible?
00:38:22Yeah
00:38:22Yeah, I know
00:38:23Jack
00:38:28Mm-hmm
00:38:29Do you want more?
00:38:33Um, after this one
00:38:34No
00:38:34At the boot
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?
00:39:14Any 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. Thorn?
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
00:40:08Kids?
00:40:10Seriously
00:40:10Can you keep your voice down?
00:40:13Oh, sorry
00:40:13What, are you afraid
00:40:16That someone's going to hear
00:40:17About our perfect marriage?
00:40:26What are you hiding from me?
00:40:31Hey
00:40:31Hey, you know that secret room
00:40:35That you didn't want me to find?
00:40:37I found it
00:40:40I found it
00:40:41Yeah
00:40:43Hey, at least it's honest
00:40:49Do you want to see it?
00:40:56Show me
00:40:57Most people run
00:41:00Most people run
00:41:25I'm not most people
00:41:28So
00:41:32This is what you're into?
00:41:37Among other things
00:41:38And all of those
00:41:40Specific requirements
00:41:44We're about to scare you off
00:41:46I don't scare you, sir
00:41:47Starting to get that
00:41:49Show me
00:41:56You sure?
00:42:00Are you?
00:42:00Are you?
00:42:19So
00:42:35So
00:42:39So
00:42:43Sir, Miss Chase is here
00:42:50She says it's urgent
00:42:52Jack, the team is flying to Tokyo and they need you there
00:42:55Final deal points
00:42:56Jack's leaving in 30
00:42:58I packed your bag and I'll be waiting downstairs
00:43:00Lily, wait
00:43:03Just go
00:43:13Lily, I can explain
00:43:40Can you?
00:43:46Guess the business can't wait
00:43:48This whole thing is
00:43:57Let me get this straight
00:43:59You sleep with him
00:44:01And then you find a note from his ex
00:44:03That's complicated
00:44:05When isn't it with you?
00:44:07Look
00:44:07Maybe it's time to admit this whole thing is just a little
00:44:11What? A mistake?
00:44:12That you were right?
00:44:14Huh? Is that what you want to hear?
00:44:16No, I want you to be happy
00:44:18And are you?
00:44:22I don't know what I am anymore
00:44:23I mean, he paid for mom's operation
00:44:26So that's cool, but I
00:44:27I know
00:44:28And the worst part is I think I might actually be falling for it
00:44:30Lily?
00:44:38Stand back
00:44:39What?
00:44:40Stand back, Megan
00:44:41Get it, get it, get it
00:44:46Get it
00:44:46Get it
00:44:48Get it
00:44:52Get down, motherfucker
00:44:53Fucker
00:44:54Oh my god
00:44:56Fuck you
00:44:57Come on, let's go
00:44:59What was that?
00:45:07Lessons with Jack
00:45:08Jack taught you that?
00:45:10Yeah
00:45:11Yeah
00:45:12Dude's getting better by a minute
00:45:14I know
00:45:14Oh man
00:45:16You okay?
00:45:20Yeah
00:45:21God, things are supposed to be so simple
00:45:24Now what?
00:45:27I don't even know it's real anymore
00:45:29How are you?
00:45:32Again
00:45:32He always keeps the ledger on his desk
00:46:01Lauren, I've known you since college
00:46:16How could you?
00:46:2311 months
00:46:24Almost a year
00:46:26I barely knew that it's anymore
00:46:29Lily, I need to tell you something
00:46:42I'm all ears
00:46:44It's about the deal
00:46:46About Warren
00:46:47Vivian
00:46:48Well
00:46:49If it isn't the happy couple
00:46:51Oh great
00:46:53The press
00:46:54These aren't real
00:47:05Oh my sisters say they're very real
00:47:08Story runs in 48 hours
00:47:11Lily, this is what I was just about to tell you
00:47:13I've been set up
00:47:14Care to comment, Mrs. Thorne?
00:47:18You know, it's funny
00:47:21I
00:47:21For a minute
00:47:23I really believed
00:47:25Lily, wait
00:47:27They're not real
00:47:30Take talk, Mr. Thorne
00:47:33Lily, wait
00:47:44They're not real
00:47:47You have to believe me
00:47:49Like I believed you when you said that this was just a business deal
00:47:52Like I believed you when you said that Vivian was just a colleague
00:47:56Like I believed that last night actually meant something
00:48:01It did
00:48:02Lily, what happened between us was
00:48:04The transaction
00:48:05That's all any of this ever was
00:48:09That's not true
00:48:11And you know it
00:48:12Do I?
00:48:15Because from where I'm standing
00:48:17You got everything that you wanted
00:48:19You got a wife when you needed one
00:48:21And a body when you wanted one
00:48:23No, 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
00:48:28With the business deal
00:48:30And your inheritance
00:48:31Anything more to explain?
00:48:41Somebody thought
00:48:42You're a terrible person
00:48:47If you leave now, you violate the contract
00:48:51You get nothing
00:48:52I don't care
00:48:55I never cared about any of that
00:48:59Hands up
00:49:18Protect the face
00:49:20No, don't
00:49:22Go?
00:49:24Nope
00:49:25Warren?
00:49:34Warren?
00:49:35Finally, look
00:49:36About the Morrison deal
00:49:38It's off
00:49:38What do you mean it's off?
00:49:41All of it
00:49:41The deal
00:49:42The 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
00:49:50Actually
00:49:50I think I found it
00:49:54I think I found it
00:49:54Haven't you
00:49:56Have you?
00:49:56I don't know
00:50:00I have
00:50:00Need to get
00:50:01To be honest
00:50:02Maybe I will
00:50:04I have
00:50:04sal волus
00:50:04I have
00:50:07You
00:50:07I have
00:50:08I know
00:50:09Are you
00:50:09I know
00:50:10Not
00:50:11I know
00:50:12I have
00:50:13You can't just hide here forever.
00:50:29Watch me.
00:50:41Hey.
00:50:43What 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?
00:51:09Oh my God.
00:51:16Sir.
00:51:17Coffee.
00:51:19Hi.
00:51:19I did some digging around like you asked, sir.
00:51:23You might want to see this.
00:51:29What am I looking at here?
00:51:30Wire transfers, shell companies, all leading back to Mr. Block.
00:51:35More.
00:51:36I knew it.
00:51:38You might want to see these too, sir.
00:51:39They'll illuminate things even more.
00:51:45Son 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.
00:51:54Although I suspect Ms. Chase's interests are not purely financial.
00:52:11Sir?
00:52:12They'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.
00:52:20It's already 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.
00:52:40I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:41I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:42I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:43I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:44I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:45I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:46I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:47I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:48I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:49I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:50I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:51I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:52I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:53I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:54I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:55I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:56I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:57I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:58I'm coming back, Megan.
00:52:59I'm coming back, Megan.
00:53:00I'm coming back, Megan.
00:53:01I'm coming back, Megan.
00:53:02I'm coming back, Megan.
00:53:03I'm coming back, Megan.
00:53:04I'm coming back, Megan.
00:53:05I got us into this.
00:53:32I can get us out of this.
00:53:34I 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.
00:54:02Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:54:04Soft, don't they?
00:54:06I always knew you were soft.
00:54:08But 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.
00:54:17All we need is a signature, Jack.
00:54:22You care too much, Jackie boy.
00:54:25Always have.
00:54:25I 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.
00:55:08Megan!
00:55:09Lenny!
00:55:09Welcome to the party, sweetheart.
00:55:16Come on.
00:55:18Come on.
00:55:23Of course it's a trap.
00:55:26The question is...
00:55:28What are you going to do about it?
00:55:31Lily!
00:55:32I'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.
00:55:56Hold on, Lily.
00:56:01Hold on.
00:56:15Leave 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.
00:56:41Oh.
00:56:43I guess it is real love, huh?
00:56:54That's for my sister.
00:56:56You son of a bitch.
00:57:01Neil.
00:57:03Lily.
00:57:04About everything.
00:57:06The 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...
00:57:19Neil.
00:57:21I know.
00:57:22You stay right there.
00:57:33Come on.
00:57:33Cuff him.
00:57:45What the hell?
00:57:45This isn't...
00:57:46This isn't...
00:57:50Possible.
00:57:54And I wouldn't put money on how well that's going to go.
00:57:56Sign the papers.
00:57:57Deep fakes really do hurt everyone involved.
00:58:00That proves nothing.
00:58:01I 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.
00:58:09And...
00:58:10You two are under arrest.
00:58:14You'll regret this, Jack.
00:58:15The inheritance, the...
00:58:16Are nothing compared to what I almost lost.
00:58:19You pit upon it all, Jack.
00:58:20I do.
00:58:30Yes, thank you.
00:58:32Thanks.
00:58:36Now that's the story.
00:58:42Here to twist the knife?
00:58:44Actually...
00:58:44I'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.
00:59:31It'll be about the inheritance.
00:59:33You really think that I care about any of that now?
00:59:40Just take me home.
00:59:41Yes, dear.
00:59:52Sun's coming up.
00:59:54Must be a new record.
00:59:57It is for me.
00:59:59Any regrets?
01:00:01Only one.
01:00:02That I didn't get your chef's special center.
01:00:07Could have saved us a lot.
01:00:08Yeah.
01:00:09Wow.
01:00:13Excuse 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.
01:00:37In 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?
01:00:51But your inheritance is gone.
01:00:54Only 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.
01:01:03Perfect, Julie and Danny.
01:01:20Keep it thin, okay?
01:01:21Just like that.
01:01:33This 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.
01:01:56Hang on.
01:02:10Voila.
01:02:15And the best chef in town.
01:02:18You're only saying that
01:02:20because 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.
01:02:41Because 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.
01:02:53without me in it.
01:02:58Is that all?
01:03:00Third.
01:03:02You have to mean it this time.
01:03:04I meant it the first time.
01:03:06Just didn't know yet.
01:03:08The rings?
01:03:10Actually,
01:03:10Is that?
01:03:17Something old.
01:03:18Something new.
01:03:20Something borrowed.
01:03:22Something
01:03:22not one.
01:03:32For better or worse,
01:03:33for real this time.
01:03:38You make us the bride.
01:03:54So,
01:03:55are you ready for your honeymoon?
01:03:57What are you...
01:04:00Lauren's helped me back.
01:04:09Mrs. Thorne,
01:04:10are you trying to negotiate
01:04:11new business terms?
01:04:13I don't know,
01:04:15Mr. Thorne.
01:04:16Can 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?
01:04:28Red dragon.
