1. 0:02Saturday night. Let me take you
2. 0:04somewhere real.
3. 0:05>> Real? Like the taco truck?
4. 0:07>> I've been saving for weeks. $200.
5. 0:10>> Ethan, that's half your month.
6. 0:13>> Then it's a good month.
7. 0:15>> The Harbor House. Dad took mom there
8. 0:17once.
9. 0:18>> The Harbor House it is.
10. 0:22>> Everyone's staring at your jacket.
11. 0:24>> Let them. I've wanted this since you
12. 0:27paid me in pie.
13. 0:31live
14. 0:32at the harbor house. Who let the help
15. 0:34in?
16. 0:38And who's this? Your plumber? Close.
17. 0:43This jacket's older than my car.
18. 0:45>> Babe, rate this date. One star.
19. 0:51>> For the bus home, buddy. Top me up, Liv.
20. 0:54Old habits.
21. 1:00Mr. Ames, Brandon Pierce, Whitmore. Sir,
22. 1:03no way. I didn't know you were in town.
23. 1:11The freezer man. Sir, you saved my whole
24. 1:14kitchen.
25. 1:18>> You fixed the Harbor House freezers?
26. 1:21>> I fix a lot of things. Desserts on the
27. 1:23house tonight. Chocolate cake. The
28. 1:26fridge guy. Victor, you're too good to
29. 1:30the help.
30. 1:31>> Babe, he almost bowed to a repair man.
31. 1:38>> Is Mr. Hail coming in this week? I need
32. 1:41two minutes with him.
33. 1:43Mr. Hail is closer than you think. Then
34. 1:46make it happen. Friday's our big dinner
35. 1:50right here.
36. 1:58Mind if I join you? Of course you don't.
37. 2:02You never did.
38. 2:08Dinner here's 200. How long did you
39. 2:10save, fridge guy? Long enough. I spend
40. 2:14that on parking.
41. 2:18You could have had this every night,
42. 2:19Liv.
43. 2:21A ring that stayed on your finger.
44. 2:26>> I picked a man who shows up.
45. 2:29>> You never learned how.
46. 2:32>> Cute.
47. 2:36>> You still talk like a nurse who never
48. 2:38finished.
49. 2:40>> Don't.
50. 2:42>> Don't.
51. 2:43>> That's exactly what he wants.
52. 2:50There's your water, Brandon. That's the
53. 2:52last thing I will ever serve you.
54. 2:56[laughter]
55. 3:02>> Babe, people are laughing at you.
56. 3:06>> Please, sir. Tonight is on the house.
57. 3:11We pay our way, Victor. Thank you.
58. 3:18You'll regret that, Liv. Monday morning,
59. 3:20you'll regret it.
60. 3:26And Miss Bennett, does she know? Not
61. 3:29yet.
62. 3:38>> Shall I have him thrown out, sir?
63. 3:41>> No.
64. 3:42I want to see him when nobody's
65. 3:44watching.
66. 3:4812 years, not one photo online, and you
67. 3:51get caught over a steak. Victor didn't
68. 3:54know I was here.
69. 3:56>> Victor lies like a choir boy, the
70. 3:59loudmouth's Brandon Pierce. He runs the
71. 4:02Witmore pitch. You're 400 million. Her
72. 4:06one rule, never a rich man. Then you've
73. 4:09got about 400 million problems.
74. 4:18Black. No sugar. Like a man who fixes
75. 4:21freezers.
76. 4:22>> You remembered.
77. 4:25>> Sorry about last night. You saved for
78. 4:28weeks. He made it a circus.
79. 4:31>> Best money I ever spent.
80. 4:33>> You're a terrible liar.
81. 4:35>> You'd be surprised.
82. 4:37>> Sorry you met the man I almost married.
83. 4:40>> Glad I met the man you didn't.
84. 4:45How'd a woman like you end up with him?
85. 4:48>> He wasn't always like that.
86. 4:55I was in nursing school. Two years left.
87. 4:58Then dad got sick. Someone had to sit
88. 5:01with him nights. So I quit.
89. 5:07Brandon came to the hospital once. Once.
90. 5:11stood there in his good suit.
91. 5:15He said, "Liv, I'm not marrying a
92. 5:17waitress forever."
93. 5:19He left that same week.
94. 5:25He said, "Liv, I'm not marrying a
95. 5:27waitress forever." He left that same
96. 5:29week.
97. 5:37Now Brandon's company wants to tear down
98. 5:39dad's old pier.
99. 5:41and June's whole row.
100. 5:43>> Can they do that?
101. 5:45>> Only if some billionaire pays for it.
102. 5:47Some man named Hail. Brandon begged for
103. 5:50him.
104. 5:55>> Maybe this Hail is different.
105. 5:57>> A billionaire different. Rich men think
106. 6:00everything has a price, even people.
107. 6:07That's why I have my rule. A man with
108. 6:10money tells me day one.
109. 6:15>> Men who hide money hide other things.
110. 6:18>> What if a man had a good reason?
111. 6:22>> Ethan, you're the first honest thing in
112. 6:25two years.
113. 6:35>> What do you want, Brandon?
114. 6:37>> Coffee. live black like your future.
115. 6:43>> Honey,
116. 6:45he's been sitting there since we opened.
117. 6:47He'll only let you serve him.
118. 6:55>> Did you know Whitmore owns this whole
119. 6:57building? The ground you're standing on.
120. 7:02June, come sit. This is about you.
121. 7:08Brandon, I've got customers waiting.
122. 7:12>> Your lease is up next month, June.
123. 7:15>> 10 years here. Nice run.
124. 7:18>> Nice run. This cafe is my whole life.
125. 7:24>> My board is very picky about tenants.
126. 7:27They worry about certain staff.
127. 7:32>> She's the best girl I've ever had. 4
128. 7:35years. Never missed a shift.
129. 7:38>> Then she'll be hard to replace. Not
130. 7:40impossible.
131. 7:42>> Brandon, please. She buried her father
132. 7:45this year.
133. 7:46>> And I'm sorry for her loss. Renewal
134. 7:48papers go out Friday.
135. 7:51[sighs]
136. 7:59>> Don't make June choose. I'll go.
137. 8:02See, she finally knows her place.
138. 8:07>> Her place is anywhere you're not.
139. 8:09Brandon, I'm so sorry, honey. I'm so
140. 8:12sorry. Keep the heater on for the
141. 8:14regulars.
142. 8:18>> Say hi to your fridge guy.
143. 8:25340.
144. 8:32It's a job, not a check. She'll earn
145. 8:35every dollar.
146. 8:37And when she learns who pays her,
147. 8:43call Victor. The terrace needs a server.
148. 8:46That's the one thing she hates.
149. 8:50Her rent's due Friday. 1100.
150. 8:53There's 1,100 in the cup holder. She'd
151. 8:56never forgive me. You know her rule.
152. 9:00And she didn't call you. She thinks I'm
153. 9:03broke after that stake. She'd never ask
154. 9:06me for a dime. That's what being poor
155. 9:08gets you.
156. 9:12Who was that?
157. 9:14>> June.
158. 9:16Brandon got Olivia fired this morning.
159. 9:18He used the lease. Friday night I end
160. 9:21the Whitmore deal. Saturday I tell her
161. 9:24everything so she knows it wasn't for
162. 9:27her.
163. 9:30Lot of Saturdays for a Monday liar. Your
164. 9:33dad would have told her day one.
165. 9:37My father had nothing to hide.
166. 9:42Miss Bennett. Victor Ames. The harbor
167. 9:45house.
168. 9:46>> The freezer man's friend.
169. 9:48>> Yes. Huh?
170. 9:52>> I hear you're looking for work.
171. 9:55>> News travels fast.
172. 9:56>> June says you never missed a shift.
173. 10:00I need a terrace server. Knights. Good
174. 10:02tips.
175. 10:03>> Why me? I poured water on a customer.
176. 10:08>> I heard you refuse to be pushed around.
177. 10:11That's who I hire.
178. 10:15>> Did Ethan send you?
179. 10:18He mentioned you,
180. 10:20but I don't hire people for who they
181. 10:22know.
182. 10:27Your uniform, Wednesday, 4:00, staff
183. 10:31door on the side.
184. 10:33>> Thank you. I won't let you down.
185. 10:36>> I know you won't,
186. 10:42>> Ethan. I got a job. The Harbor House
187. 10:45nights.
188. 10:48>> That's wonderful. Liv,
189. 10:50>> your freezer friend hired me. You must
190. 10:53have fixed those freezers really well.
191. 10:56>> Must have.
192. 10:59>> Okay, Olivia, smile.
193. 11:02Tips. Rent. No pouring water on anyone.
194. 11:08>> Straighten up. He hates a fuss.
195. 11:10>> Must be somebody important.
196. 11:18Welcome back, Mr. Hail. The lawyers are
197. 11:20early, sir. Garden room.
198. 11:24>> Hail.
199. 11:27>> Olivia, please let me explain.
200. 11:30>> Explain what? The jacket or the $200
201. 11:33dollars you saved for weeks?
202. 11:38Did you laugh about it after?
203. 11:40The waitress who thought you couldn't
204. 11:41afford a steak.
205. 11:43>> Never. Not once. I swear on my father.
206. 11:50>> There were never any freezers, were
207. 11:51there?
208. 11:55>> I'm sorry, miss.
209. 11:57>> The job.
210. 11:59You did this, too.
211. 12:01>> You earned that job.
212. 12:03>> Did I? Or did you buy me like a steak?
213. 12:10Brandon took everything with his money.
214. 12:13You did the same thing. You just smiled
215. 12:15while you did it.
216. 12:18>> That's not fair.
217. 12:20>> No, it isn't. I told you my rule on our
218. 12:23very first walk.
219. 12:28A man with money tells me day one.
220. 12:31I was going to tell you Saturday.
221. 12:34>> Saturday.
222. 12:37I'll work my week. I pay my own rent.
223. 12:41Then I'm gone.
224. 12:44And Mr. Hail, don't come near my
225. 12:46section.
226. 12:51>> Well,
227. 12:52she's got your father's stubbornness.
228. 12:55That's why I love her.
229. 13:00You're the driver,
230. 13:02>> Walt. I've known him since he was in
231. 13:04diapers.
232. 13:06>> Did he send you?
233. 13:08>> He'd fire me if he knew I was here. He's
234. 13:11fired me 11 times. I keep showing up.
235. 13:19Two nights he waited outside the staff
236. 13:22door till you got on your bus. He just
237. 13:25wanted you home safe.
238. 13:27He shouldn't have.
239. 13:30>> I told him that. He doesn't listen.
240. 13:33>> Gets it from his father.
241. 13:38>> Did he ever actually say he was poor or
242. 13:41did I just decide it?
243. 13:43>> You decided. He let you. That's lying in
244. 13:46a nicer suit. That jacket was his dad's.
245. 13:49Joe Hail, best mechanic in Ohio. Fixed
246. 13:53cars for folks who couldn't pay. took
247. 13:55pie instead.
248. 13:58>> Pie.
249. 14:00>> Then a pretty waitress paid his son in
250. 14:02pie.
251. 14:03The boy never wanted to leave.
252. 14:07He lived this month on a mechanic's pay.
253. 14:10He really did save for that stake.
254. 14:13>> Half his month.
255. 14:17>> Built his first company at 25.
256. 14:20Lost it all at 29. Claire, his fiance,
257. 14:24left that same afternoon.
258. 14:27Three years later, he was rich. And
259. 14:30guess who came knocking?
260. 14:33>> Claire
261. 14:35>> with flowers.
262. 14:37>> So he hid.
263. 14:39>> He hid the money. The only thing anyone
264. 14:42ever loved about him until a waitress
265. 14:45paid him in pie.
266. 14:47>> Is he giving Whitmore the money? Is he
267. 14:50tearing down my dad's pier?
268. 14:53That's his to tell, not mine.
269. 15:00Tomorrow night, he's got a dinner on
270. 15:01that terrace.
271. 15:03Brandon's dinner.
272. 15:05>> I know. I'm serving it.
273. 15:08>> Then watch him. Watch what he does with
274. 15:11everything to lose.
275. 15:13>> Why should I?
276. 15:15>> Nobody watches him the way you do.
277. 15:18And miss,
278. 15:20no favors in your paycheck. He made
279. 15:23Victor swear on it.
280. 15:24>> Good. My landlord gave me till Saturday.
281. 15:34>> One more night, Dad. Then I'll know.
282. 15:39>> Miss Bennett, the private party tonight
283. 15:42is the Whitmore dinner.
284. 15:45>> Brandon's dinner.
285. 15:48You can take the bar side tonight.
286. 15:50Nobody would blame you.
287. 15:52>> My landlord would. I'll serve whoever
288. 15:55sits down. Mr. Ames,
289. 15:59>> tonight, Gordon, we sign the city's
290. 16:02biggest deal. Just don't talk too much,
291. 16:04Pierce.
292. 16:09>> Victor, you hire you hire charity cases
293. 16:12now. Miss Bennett is one of our finest.
294. 16:17>> Everybody, meet my ex- fiance. Waitress,
295. 16:20then waitress now. Some people just know
296. 16:24their level.
297. 16:27>> Smile, Liv. You're going viral.
298. 16:34Where's your fridge guy tonight, Liv?
299. 16:37Down in the basement fixing the ice
300. 16:39machine. [laughter]
301. 16:42Clean that up, Liv. That's what they pay
302. 16:45you for,
303. 16:47sir. One of my staff will know, Victor.
304. 16:50I want her to do it.
305. 16:54[sighs]
306. 16:55>> One more night.
307. 17:03[laughter]
308. 17:06Pierce, enough. His car just pulled up.
309. 17:10Relax, Gordon. Showtime.
310. 17:15Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ethan Hail.
311. 17:36The fridge guy.
312. 17:45Mr. Hail, Saturday night. I was only
313. 17:48joking.
314. 17:50No, Brandon. I was the one pretending.
315. 17:53You meant every word.
316. 18:03You don't kneel for him.
317. 18:08Not ever.
318. 18:12Mr. Hail, Gordon Whitmore, welcome.
319. 18:20Mr. Hail, please let's sit. The papers
320. 18:23are ready. 400 million. Gordon, I spent
321. 18:27a month walking your waterfront in my
322. 18:29father's jacket. I ate June's apple pie
323. 18:32every morning.
324. 18:36I sat on that old pier at sunset.
325. 18:41You'd bury it all under glass towers.
326. 18:46I came to see what your people were
327. 18:47worth.
328. 18:49This week, Brandon got her fired over a
329. 18:52glass of water.
330. 18:56Tonight, I watched him make her kneel.
331. 19:01The deal is off.
332. 19:06Mr. Hail, Brandon does not speak for my
333. 19:08company. He spoke for it tonight. You
334. 19:11watched her kneel and you stayed in your
335. 19:14chair.
336. 19:18You put this in my father's jacket for
337. 19:21the bus home. Keep it. You'll need it
338. 19:24Monday.
339. 19:27Pierce, clear your desk tonight. Gordon,
340. 19:31I
341. 19:33tonight.
342. 19:38>> Sorry, babe. This one's going online.
343. 19:46>> Two men lied to you here last Saturday.
344. 19:49He lied about who you are. I lied about
345. 19:52who I am.
346. 19:56Mine was worse
347. 19:58because you trusted me.
348. 20:02I'm sorry, Olivia.
349. 20:18Sir, should I go after her? No, Victor.
350. 20:23She's earned the right to walk away.
351. 20:28End of the pier. her dad's slip. Go.
352. 20:31>> And if she tells me to leave,
353. 20:36>> then you leave and you come back
354. 20:38tomorrow. Your father fixed my truck
355. 20:40nine times before it ran right.
356. 20:50Walt says this was your dad's spot.
357. 20:5631 years. He'd fix his engine here with
358. 21:00a butter knife.
359. 21:02>> Sounds like my kind of man.
360. 21:08>> Victor brought my tips at 7 this
361. 21:10morning. Every dollar, he said. Not one
362. 21:13more.
363. 21:14>> I made him swear.
364. 21:16>> Rents paid. I earned it.
365. 21:18>> I know you did. You always do.
366. 21:20>> June called. Whitmore gave her a 10-year
367. 21:23lease.
368. 21:264 million people watched Brandon get
369. 21:27fired. Made Whitmore a little nervous.
370. 21:33You knelt on that floor in a suit like
371. 21:36that.
372. 21:36>> It's a cheap suit.
373. 21:38[laughter]
374. 21:40>> Why didn't you tell me day one?
375. 21:43>> Because on day one, you looked at me
376. 21:46like I was enough.
377. 21:50Nobody had done that since I was 29.
378. 21:56You should have asked me.
379. 21:58>> Asked you what?
380. 22:00>> If I'd like you without the money.
381. 22:03>> Would you?
382. 22:05>> I already did, Ethan. That was the whole
383. 22:07problem.
384. 22:12>> Hi, I'm Ethan Hail. I fix things.
385. 22:15>> Hi, Ethan Hail. I'm Olivia.
